The old and celebrated theory first advocated by Dr. Huttonj that ram Is' produced by mineling of strata of' air oi dififejjept tempera tures and CQpt4n.inK different amounts)! moisture, is no longer entertained by meteorologists, Cold and Warm currents cannot .mix. and could only, produce., between tbem thin layers p. cloads, the; va por (Condensed being insufficient to fall as rain. Epsy, some forty years ago, suggested the true theory. Rain is formed by ascending cur rents of moist air. If from any cause a mass of air takes an upward movement, as it ascends it, comes under less pressure, expands and is consequently dynamically cooled. It has been found that the rate of cooling is about one degree for each hundred yards of ascen. In the condensation of the moisture ait r. ascending there results: First, the formation of a cloud with its center bulging far above the fdgegj as in the common thunder clouds; next, some of the cloud partfcles mingle into" small drops which arecanied upwards by the rising column of air until they combine with others produced higher up, and forja drops too large to be supported and then ;This 13 thoroughly effected by the fall as rain. This theory fully ex- persevering use of Ayers Sarsapa plaini why heavier rains fall on the riHa- Persist -until cured. The slopes of the mountains in Western North Carolina than ' in tha central I Diane, for the Drevailin? winds rlnr- ing nearly the entire year blow to- wards the mountains and are by J tbem deflected upwards, cooled, and deposit much of their moisture rine eaneni slope.

There is some confused talk in the South abut getting better prices for cotton; by a concerted ..movement to hold back, crop or reduce prpK duction hereafter. The planters will probably find it to their advarge individiiallk to give less exclusive attention to cotton and grow some other crops.
