is very humid.
Between the extremes, the air
is laden with moderate amounts
of moisture. Usually there is
enough to yield adequate rain for
Mesophytic plant life and the an
imals living on them.
The water evaporates from the
sea into the air. The warmer the
cir, the more water it will carry.
Consequently, in the low latitude
areas near the equator, there is
much moisture in the air, when
it becomes saturated, it reaches
the dew point
If the temperature is still re-
duced, the air becomes super-sat-
urated and the water vapor

IDLE state to the liquid state. 1t
forms droplets which are clouds,
or if near the ground it is called
fog. Clouds and fog can be seen
because of their different optical
density to the vapor.
Causes Of Rain
AS the clouds are made UP of
very small droplets, they move
about readily on any air current.
When the air is heated near the
surface of the sea or the warm
land, it expands, becomes lighter
per unit volume, and is pushed
upward by the warmer air which
pushes in to take its place. AS the
warm, moisture laden air ises it
can expand more. It's temperature
reduces. and it becomes superSat-
urated. The moisture forms drop
lets. AS the droplets chill more
as they rise, they form large drops
which may unite to form larger
drops. When the drops become SO
large the air currents will not
support them, they fall as rain.
Rain may fall where the warm
air gets cooler, over cold seas,
cold land or as the altitude in
creases. If warm, moisture laden
aid from the Gulf of Mexico meets
a cold air mass from the Arctic
region, the cold air chills h e

about by this interchange. The
full cycle is from sea-to air-to
land-to streams back to sea.
The air always carries water.
The amount it carries depends on
surrounding circumstances. The
variation is from infinitessimal to
as much as five per cent Very
warm air over the sea has great

expanse of desert may have a rel
alive humidity of less than one
per cent. Very cold air of polar
regions and high attitudes have
little moisture. Tropical and SUBJ

A Study Of the Renaissance
Of Europe After Napoleon
A WORLD RESTORED. BY

Henry A. Kissinger.
(Houghton Mifflin Co.; So
In a reading of this study
of "the rebirth Of Europe"
following the containment
and diminution of Napoleon,
the truismS that postulate a
genuine peace in our time can
be discerned by association
of the revolutionary elements
then and now.
Legitimacy" of statehood
was the touchstone for the
Vaccinations of Metternich
and, by going along with the
Austrian, Lord Castlereagh
was able to reinstall Britain
to the status of a continental
power after 20 years of alb
solute isolation. The author
effectively belittles the bril-
lance of Talleyrand as hav-
ing had anything important
to do with the problems of
peace as they emerged from
the hot furnace of revolution
in the years of 1912 to 1922.
This reviewer found the
recurring summations of DR..
Kissinger for the most part
interchangeable. Modern
statesmen would do we'll to
examine his principles while
trying to reconcile the diff
ferences that threaten to

The very rare 1894 bust
type silver dollar has is six
pointed stars on the diverse.
The word LIBERTY is at the
top and the stars are to the
right and left Of the head,
which faces to the right. A
rather modest looking bird,
the eagle, appears on the re-
verse. His talons seem to
rest on a rock; his wings are
spread. A palm wreath sur
rounds this, and the words
UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA appear around
the coins rim. In the first
year Of their coinage, 1,758
of these dollars were minted.
The 1795 coin is quite often
listed as having the head of

dollars coined in l795. There
was an improvement in the
design Of the later issues of
this year. The new "Fillet"
head that appeared added to
the beauty of the coin. There
were two varieties of the fillet
bust type. The flowing hair
type had Is varieties.
The total coinage of the
1896 dollar, with its seven
varieties, was 1890.
In 1897, the smallest COIN
age of any year from 1795 to

For variety this year try
toning some Of your pictures.
Last years snow scenes could
well be improved with the use
of a blue toner. Or If you
have a snapshot made by the

slightly dark print and use a
reddish toner. Either of these
colors will brighten your
cards. Or If you have the
time you can always take to q

or oils.
There are many picture
subjects suitable for use with
greeting cards. Individual
portraits are good subjects
for family members and close

shots - particularly those
made last year during the
