please tell me whether you
said in one Of your articles that
in the center of every raindrop
there is a tiny grain of sand?-
Alice o., Marlboro, Mass"
"o make such a statement
would be a little unwarrant-
Il able extension Of the i'm
agination. It would hardly be
more untrue than to say that in
the heart of every raindrop there
is a microbe! I have no doubt
that raindrops sometimes do bring
down minute bacteria that have
been floating in the air, but
grain of sand, even a very tiny
one, would be too much Of a load
for a raindrop.
You very likely got the idea
from reading about the recent at
tempts to condense troublesome
fogs into drops sufficiently heavy
to fall to the ground by sprinkling
electrical sand upon them from
airplanes. The inventors of this
process believe that it may be en-
ployed to produce rain from clouds
that refuse to give rain because,
though they contain sufficient
moisture, IASy ldCh IA1C ICCcSSdTy
stimulus to condense their nois-
ture into drops. Whether they
will succeed or not in their efforts
at rain making remains to be
seen, although the officials of the
Government Weather Bureau have
thrown preliminary doubt upon
the matter.
Nuclei Defined.
There is no doubt, however, that
raindrops are formed about vari-
GUS kinds of nuclei in the atmos-
phere. These may. be fine dust
particles, or particles composed of
gaseous molecules. Electricity,
too, no doubt plays a part in the
phenomenon. It is for that rea-
son that the experiments referred
to above were made with electri-
fled sand ground to powder. An
electrically charged particle draws
to itself particles of moisture bear
ing electricity of the opposite kind,
as the positive pole of magnetic
needle attracts the negative pole
of another needle. When enough
moisture is accumulated about a
center of condensation to give the
drop a considerable weight, gravi-
tation brings it down to the
ground.
But there is still much to be ex-
planned about the formation of
raindrops. The nuclei around
which they form are undoubtedly
at least as far as we know

~ said to be the lightest ever
built. was demonstrated here re-
