 It is made up of minute globules of water, each one of which has for it's nucleus a particle of dust. The weight of a cloud measuring 10000 feet in di- something like 100000 tons, if it's ma teriaI were condensed.
 This material has been lifted into the sky by the power of the sun. One may observe the process in operation when one sees 8 thunder head" cloud mounting skyward on a summer day it's rising speed averaging more than 100 feet a minute, but the cloud goes up more slowly when it reaches 8 point where it's top is cooled to the degrees of the surrounding atmosphere.
 The cloud assumes varying shapes as the transition takes place. Often the top of the thunderhead bursts out in surprisingly beautiful mushroom forms and stands in the sky like a vaporous toadstool reared as if by magic. Exchange.

oxysen and AnimaIa

Is oxygen necessary for animal ex- istance? We used to believe that OK ygen was indispensable to life until we found that certain minute, organ isms would flourish when entirely de- prived of oxygen. Then we discovered that there are many bacteria to whom oxygen is actually fatal. It has not been demonstrated, says an American scientist, that vital activity without OK ygen is possible not only in one-celled organisms but also in animals with well developed systems of muscles and nerves. Just as it is possible to build an engine which would burn hydro gen and chlorine instead of oxygen and carbon, so it is possible for a liv- ing organism to produce chemical en- ergy by the combustion of other gases but the higher animals have learned to depend upon oxygen because it is found everywhere on our earth.-Ex- change.
