A bout five rears since, in exsmining the works on the subject, he was surprised to find that, in all the theories that had been made on the subject no mention had.bern made nor an v allowance given in their calculations, fur the evolution of ihe calor ic of elasticity, which takes pltce during the formation of clouds.
