UNCLE Roy's Corner
By RAMON COFFMAN,

A question about rain is asked by
one Of our young readers. Winnie
Grant. What makes it rain?" she
inquiries.
Rain falls because moist air is
cooled to the dew point There
can be no rain unless the air has
moisture in it.
Even when the air is moist. the
rain may not come down. Cooling
must take place to make the mois-
ture form into drops of rain.
That answers the question in a
short way, but other questions come
UP. Where does the moisture in
the air come from? What cools the
air until it reaches the dew point?
Every day of the year some water
goes up and some falls down. At a
given place there may not be rain
on a certain day, or for number of
days, but somewhere on the earth
there is rain falling at any minute
show there are showers or heavy
rains in thousands OF places every
day Of the year.
The rising of water is brought
about by heat from the sun. Sun
shine heats oceans, seas, lakes,
ponds, rivers and brooks. Some of
the water is turned into vapor, and
this vapor is lighter than air.
The water vapor rises higher and
higher. AS it goes upward it is
somewhat cooled, and may form into
clouds. The thin air at a height of
q few miles is very cold, even in
midsummer
Most of the water vapor rises over
oceans. Winds often carry it from
above the ocean to points above
the land.
Warm, moist air may travel thou
sands Of miles across land before it
Is cooled to the point where rain
will fall. On the other hand, noun
tain ranges may block the way near
the coast line, bringing about a
downpour Of rain.
When a warm, moist wind sweeps
over mountain range, the air in it
is forced to rise, and when it rises,
1t is cooled. If the cooling is great
enough, rain will come down.
A good example of how mountains
rob the air of rain is found in India
The Himalaya Mountains block the
way of moisture filled winds which
sweep in from the Indian Ocean
and the Bay of Bengal. AS result,
the air is chilled and the moisture
is condensed into drops of rain.
The Himalaya Mountains are the
tallest In the world, and the rainfall
on their southern slopes is the
heaviest in the world. The rainfall
there usually amounts to from 200
to 600 inches a year. On the north
ern slopes, the rainfall is only about
10 inches per year.

these offer excellent avenues Of
escape. The armadillo is creature
of nocturnal habits. In many ways
he is highly specialized, this nat
urally to his advantage. He has
found out that it usually pays to
know one or two things well and to
be willing to add to this knowledge
as fast as he can.
One reason for his success is that
he attracts as little attention to his
activities as possible. He burrows or
makes trails in comparative privacy
under the double protection OF the
leafy screen Of the dense under
growth and his armor- plate. He is
a powerful excavator. His body is
streamlined and his digging i'm
plements superior to those of the
giant mole. When he is in doubt
he digs. Under the surface of the
ground there is an abundance Of
room, and food. Some armadillos

trap, a cruel steel trap with wide
spread jaws to seize Old Man Coyote
by leg. To each trap was at
tached a chain. and the end of the
chain was fastened to heavy stick
of wood. The sticks Of wood Farmer
Browns Boy buried just under the
surface Of the ground, and he sifted
the sand and dust over the cnains
and the traps themselves so chat
they could not be seen. When he
was through you never would have
guessed that there was anything
there. Then just as carefully he,
set more traps In the little paths by

yet too narrow for larger animals
to enter.
Research fails to give us any light
on the courting habits or the mar
riage VOWS of the armadillos. We
know there are never more than a
quartette of babies and they are
born with their eyes wide open
Their armor is soft and flexible like
fine leather and as soon as they can
travel they trot sedately along with
their mother as she goes on her
marketing expeditions. When sur
prised they dart into the underbrush.
Too many have said that this
creature has sacrificed speed for
safety; that it rolls up tight and
remains an armored ball until all
danger of invasion has passed. But
the armadillo will speed up and with
the sWiftness of rabbit. He is not
a coward but has been seen march
ing into the very jaws of his pur-
suers and since the wedge shaped
snout and armored body offer no
grasping surface and the thorny
brush would halt any but the arma
dillo, there is no question who will
win in such skirmish. The last
resort is curling up in the face OF
the foe or lashing out at him with
his sharp hooflike claws.
Armadillos are toothless. Their
choice food is ants. Indeed, it has
been said an army of ants, march
ing home from a successful raid OF
another ant community, will break
ranks and scatter in every direction
if watchful armadillo is stationed
in their path. An armadillo's tongue
swoops around posts, into opening.

Old Man Coyote was a stranger
to Farmer Browns Boy. Ever since
he had come to the Green Meadows
to live he had been very careful
that Farmer Browns Boy should
never see him. So while he knew
all about Farmer Browns Boy, for
from safe hiding places he had
watched him day after day, Farmer
Browns Boy knew very little about
Old Man Coyote, and what he did
knew was what he had read. He

NINE-BANDED ARMADILLO
(DdsypuS nopemcinctus.)

Armadillos are strictly Americans
and they are loyal Texans, attending
to their own affairs, adding to their
range and accepting the gifts the
gods send to them without undue ex-
citement. They have one desire-to
keep out of the limelight, and for
this reason there are many more of
,hese creatures domiciled in Texas
than one would imagine. The only
contact most Americans have with
the armored armadillo is his beauti-
full empty coat-of f-mail which is in
gloriously used as basket for fruit.
These animals are partial to low
dense cover where the grass is coarse,
where there are patches of cactus
