Moisture in the A hi. —One of the most curious and interesting of the recent discove.ies of science is, that it is to the presence of a very small proportion of a watery vapor in our atmosphere—less than one half of one per cent,—that much of the beneficent effect of heat is ♦lite. The rays of heat sent forth from the earth alter it Las been wanned by the sun, would soon be lost in space, but for the woiindeiful absorbent properties of these molecules of acqueous vapor, which act with many thousand times the power of the atoms of t’ne oxygvh and nitrogen of which the air is composed. By this means the heat, instead of being tiansmitted into infinitude as fast as produced, is stopped or dammed up, or held back on its rapid eouise, to furnish the necessary conditions of life and growth. Let this moisture be taken from the air but for a single summer night, and the sun would rise next morning upon a “world held fast in the iron grip of frost.’’
