The old and celebrated theory first
advocated by Dr. Hutton, that rain is
produced by mingling of strata of air
of different temperatures and contain
ing different amount of moisture, Is no
longer entertained by meteorologists.
Cold and warm currents cannot mix,
and could only produce between them
thin layers of clouds, the vapor con
densed being Insufficient to fall as rain.
Epsy, some forty years ago, suggested
the true theory. Bain Is formed by
ascenuiog currents of moist air. If
from any cause a mass of air takes an
up war a movement, as It ascends it
comes under less pressure, expands
and Is consequently dynamically cool
