HARD TO EXPLAIN RAIN

The weather men have been try
ing to answer the question, "How
does it rain?" 1t is hard question,
says DR.. W. J. Humphreys of the
United States weather bureau.
"Lots of people are content to say
that the droplets at the top of the
cloud pick up others on their way
down and come out at the bottom
full-sized raindrops," he said. "That
sounds nice, but those who give this
explanation seem to overlook the fact
that clouds can float in the sky for
days without giving a drop of rain"
He has calculated how big a drop
would result from such a fall. and
it turns out that a cloud particle
falling from top to bottom of dense
cloud mile thick and picking up
every other droplet in its way would
come out only one-sixteenth of an
inch in diameter, much smaller than
an ordinary raindrop.-Kansas City

Appeals to Adventurous.

Though some Of those who know
the polar regions develop a kind of
love for them, the experience Of two
British explorers who spent a year on
an Antarctic island with no shelter
but an overturned boat must have been
a severe test Of whatever affection
they may have had for those ATTITUDES.
I. W. Bagshawe, geologist, and Lieu
tenant c. NJ. Lester, navigating officer,
had provisions, dogs and scientific in
struments to keep them company when
their companions sailed north, leaving
the two to make observations. The re-
turn expedition fell into financial DIFF
fculties and sent a rescue ship back
only In the nick Of time. Besides a
scientific interest, ventures into the
far north and the far south probably
are actuated by what one may call q
sporting impulse With them IT is a
game. They return again and again,
and with success comes a genuine lfk-
ing for the icy seas and archipelagoes.

northern polar region "the friendly
