Fogs and mist are formed in the same general way; but are heavier and tend to sink to low places. Clouds are great travellers. We often see them floating overhead, and may wonder how fast they are going. Low clouds travel from six to 21 miles per hour. High clouds sometimes travel more than 35 miles In an hour.
 Some clouds are only 2.000 feet above sea level, but most clouds are between one mile and four miles high. Cirrus clouds have been ob- served at height of 46,000 feet-or almost nine miles!
 Masses of water vapor and dust less than 2,000 feet high are usually classed as fogs or mists.

 Water in clouds comes from rivers, lakes, seas and oceans. Sun light plays upon the waters, and causes evaporation.
 Moist air is usually lighter than dry air. Moist air above lake. river or sea rises and forms clouds. After cooling and combining with dust of one kind or another, water vapor turns into clouds.

The Clouds in the Sky


 Are clouds made out of smoke ? This question, asked by a child, is a natural one. Clouds, especially the dark ones, look as though they might be composed of smoke. After smoke rises in the air, we lose sight of it and my fancy that it gathers in the clouds above.
 The question arises, however, as to how clouds happen to be wet. We know that they often send down rain or snow; and if they were formed entirely of smoke, they would be dry.
 The truth is that some clouds contain tiny particles of smoke, along with dust which comes from other sources Tests on raindrops prove that they contain small specks,' or, as we may say, dust" Part of the dust in clouds comes from soil which has been dried and tossed high into the air

 And yet washability is only one of the new and improved Tontine's virtues. These shades do not pin- hole or crack, nor will they fade or fray.
 You see they are made from the same basic substance as the fam ous du Pont Duco. Remarkable, isn't it? To think that now you

Quoting statistics he said that
