CLOUD FORMATIONS.
Why the Masses Of Moisture Are Able
to Float In the Air.

Clouds consist Of particles of con-
densed water vapor and In some cases
OF extremely fine spicules of Ice. which
Is also formed from water vapor. Wa.
ter vapor which arises by evaporation
from the surface of seas. lakes. etc.
Is lighter than dry air Mt the same
temperature and pressure. IL is also
invisible.
1t disseminates itself through the
atmosphere and ascends TO great
heights, There. owing TO the fall Of
temperatures and TO other causes, ii
begins to condense into particles which
are slightly heavier than air and which
become visible clouds.
Owing To the influence OF winds and
OF rising currents as well as to the
fact that the condensed particles are
nearly as light as air the clouds remain
floating, like fine suspended matter I'm
water, until further condensation ere
ates particles OF sufficient size to form
raindrops, whose relative great weight
brings them rapidly to the ground.
That clouds do slowly descend even
when not condensed into rain may be
observed when they are seen to dis
solve and disappear without apparent
cause. This is caused by the clouds
descent to level where rise of tenn
perature causes the condensed water
vapor to revolatilize,. thus becoming
again invisible.-New York Journal.

Temperance and Health


At recent conference attended by
200 Indiana health officers, resolu-
ton was adopted UNANIMOUSLY declar-
ing that health officers and physicians
should join in the campaign against
alcohol. AS a matter of fact, health
officials in many states are already en-
gagged in efforts to combat intemper-
ance by educational means, and ample
justification for their activities in this
field is to be found in the following
facts:
"a diminution in the consumption
of alcohol by the community, accord
ing TO those who are in a position to
know and to judge would mean less
tuberculosis, less poverty, less depen-
dency, and less pressure on our hos
pitfalls, asylums and jails, Intemper-
ate drinking cuts into the support Of
the family. The drinking Of parents
weakens the vitality Of the children.
Drinking mothers lose twice as many
babies as do sober mothers. More
alcoholism is found in the parents of
Predetermined children than in the
parents of normal children. The chill
dren of drinkers develop more slowly
and do poorer school work than do the
children of abstainers. Alcohol inn
pairs the tone of the muscles, lessons
the product of laborers, depraciates
the skill and endurance of artisans,
impairs memory, multiplies industrial
accidents, causes chronic disease of
the heart, liver, stomach and kidneys,
increases the death rate from pneu-
monia, and lessons natural immunity
to infectious diseases.
