Lydia eosld not hatp woaderlaf why oa earth Addeabrooka aboald be eo anzioue to marry bar. 8 bo waa #1 and log at tha window, bor eye# mechanically following Ilia familiar, in»lgaifiaant fignm ot lb# Profemor, a# ha pioddad down tha graeel walk to tbo gato; and when bo bad pa—d from eiaw aba aat down in th# naaraat chair and continued her reflectiooo. It wu eary strange. She bad ao leva to giro him. and bad told him ao, qhito frankly; bo mot know, ae every ooe knew, el that mi#arabla affair with Lawraaee Flaming; was he not Fleming’s intimate friend, the last person who had aaen him befora ha want to Africa? Moreover, her glam bad takaa to reflecting • woman who wu aad and pala and old before bar time; anraiy not tba woman with whom a man would bo expected to wish to begin bis life. When we bavo become to oaraelvea a daily harden it it eo bard to realiie that our |>raa* oaoa can hi desired of other#. And yet abe bad baan awara of Addenbrooka’a devotion from tbe day* of tba good but abatiaatb littla boy, with a Ualc for ebomiea! otperiments, to lb ooe of themodaat young mao, who larked unobtrusively in doorways lor the purpose of saying goodnight to bar, and wu alwaya on band to fill up vacancied 8ha bad been aware ot it. but bad given >t little heed; now, in her loneliness, her sorrow, the thought of that devotion moved bar airaagaly. She bad seen herself drifting on to middle ear, haggard, iovelee#, unloved; tbe sorriest ol spectacles, tbe emoiiooal women whose •motion* have wrecked bcr. Addenbrooke god Addcnbrookc'c love interposed themselves like a shield between her and berfaie. Hba bad givan bim no anawer, bat tba knew bv now whet her anawer would be. The door opened and Mrs. Grey, her mother, came into tbo room. Sbe sat down in ailsnoe—a chill, comfortlam presence—and ragardad bar daughtar from tba distance. Thau two woman lived togstbar without profit or pleasure to ailhar. Mrs. Grey wu capable of making ueriflcea, bnt she lacked tba prioaloea gift of homo-making; while l.ydla, on her pert, obafed beneath tbe restrictions of a relationship in which neither affinity nor affection bore a part. ’*8o it wu to be Johany Addenbrooke after all.” reflected Mrs. Grey; “a Gowerstreet profesanr of ao particular distinction. Wail, Lydia wu getting on; and, if a girl mean* to marry, aha had batter manage to do •o befora aha la fiva-and-twanty. And there bed bean nothing, it seemed, in that affair with young Flaming.” Mrs. Gray wu disappointed. It ia true that Fiamiag’a father kept a glove shop la Regent street, whareu tba Addaabrookas bad bun gentlafolka tor generations; but nobody mindod that sort of tbing in tbaea days. Lawrapee Fleming went every wtiere, did everything; bis new book from Africa bod made bim more of a lion than aver; banco ho wu morn to bo desired u a husband than poor Johnny, who went nowhere to apeak of and did nothing but bis work. Lyd|p row slowly and wont over to the writing-table. As sba took up her pen tha whimsical thought struck her that, when the other ehiidraa had onrriad tbair panes to thoaweotanop, Johnny bad always preferred to invoet his capital in myatenona oomnonnda at tba chemist’s. A faint smile hovered about bar llpa at she wrote. When the letter was fin-i-hed aha laid bar hand • moment on the desk and shot her eye*, Tha old dream, from which ah# wu turning forever, had gnshed with cruel vividnaaa into bar conuiousuaae: rebut rtich Oott. es war tn schon gewaaMh Be hut dicb Gott, ae hat nieht sollea tetm Khe row, atiff and ooid, aad want over to bar mother. Lydia wu a graceful ereatnre, tall, alight, faintly oolorad; some people thought her besutifui, other* could ew ao bwuty ia her whatever. “Mamma,” aha wid In bar strange, pathetic voioe, “Professor Addenbrooke hu asked me to marry bim, aad I bare written to say ‘yea.’” II. Addaabrooka wu spending tha avaniag as usual with Lydia at St. John’s Wood. They ware alone together, Mrs. Grey having disoreetly retired to her <>wo room, nod the talk between them flowed with tbe eaw of intimacy and nffwtioe. It wes now three weeks since their engagement, end already something of Addenbroqke’e calm happiaem wu beginning to bo wfloctad in Lydia’ fees. She appreciated what only woman can appreciate, the eonwiousaees of making another's happiness by tbe mere feet of bor prasonco. That ia, I thiak.a plus are toe subtle for tbo maseaiine pniata. Now, u abe laid bar band lightly oa hia, aha enjoyed, as it were, a reflection of the delight which she know herself to bo ooaferriaf by tbe ecu “Johnny." she said, “will yon let me tell yoa to-night what I have always meant to toll yon? about myself and that other person.” She fiaiabod bar phraw thus vagnaly, not doubting but that Addenbrooke bad SMhtaliv roonded it off with grwter accuracy; somenow bar lips rsfueed to attar tba name of Lawrence Fleming. “My doer,” he answered gantly, “tell aw aothing which diatraaaaa yoa. I don’t want to know. I know yon bava been very nahappy; hot one day, I aware von, yea are going to be happier than aver.” She smiled half wdiy. “Johnny, lot mo toll yoa. I think 1 oaeht. Perhaps, whoa yoa have heard, yoa will weal to go away from aw—from • woman who hu bwa ao cruelly humiliated.” Ha langbad, drawing alowr to bar ia tha ffralight. “Slow that’s it, Lydia, par hope yaa’d battar tell ma!” H* ww that aha woe id aevar root till aha had •'tsbordeaed bar mind of the old, unhappy things, about whieh personally ha bad •mall desire to learn. They were w infinitely teaching, these peer women end their love-stories; their nnzisos interpretation of looks and words and •miles; tbair pathetic, carafal gather lag-up of eramha ee wreieealy awttercd. So Lydia, with half-averted few, began ' her story ia tha at ran go, naeartoia voice which, from hia boyhood upward, bed had power to thrill John Addeabrooka to tha inmost depths of hia being. “It ia nearly a year ago,” she began, “at tha Meadea’s place ia Warwiakahira.

Then, I ao more questioned it than 1 questioned tba rising of the •on. The day eome when I wu to go, and he had wid nothing definite to me. I, living la my foel'e paradise, ww neither sarprieod nor afraid. At last, aa boar befora I loft, ho took mo ia hia arms, yw. Johany, yea—ho took mo ia hia arms and kissed my lipe, and told me that ha weald follow mo the next day.” “That’a enough,” wid Addenbrooke, In n low voice; “bo ww n brute. Lot as bear ao more ebon! bias.” “There is notblog more to bear,” aha answered with bitterness, “that is the and of my story. A wwk later I heard that ba had gone abroad.” Addeabrooka pat bla arm aboot Lydia, aad, drawing bor bead to bis abonlder, stroked her hair beak ward aad forward with hia kind band. HemreciUI had pained bim. Ho know the perfidy of bin sex, bat this particular offender bad gooa beyond all recognized limits; limits which, la his own person, Johnny, had always refused to recognise. The tbongbt ot tba misery inflicted on his proud, wuitivo, passionate Lydia made bim tick with angar sod speechless with syfrtpaiby. He rose at last, and, battening up hie cost, tried to epeek in tones of ressaaring cheerfulness. “By the by, Lydia, Flaming bu eome back. Yon remember Lawrence Fleming? They ire making qtffto a lion of him on aocount gf hie new book. He’s jnet tbe sort of man th enjoy being lionized.” Lydia looked at him, speech leu, and ha went on: “I expect that ha will be taming np at my rooms in tha coup*# of aday or two. Ho left a portmantesa with my landlady befora ba ■ailed. Good night, my own dear girl,” And ba bald ort both hands. Lydia looked at bim sharply, and with riaiag vexation. She had lound ont long ago that sabtlo hints were quite thrown away npon Johnny; but surely, sorely be must know the troth. Either he wu the most consummate actor or the densest person living. It wss impossible to entertain aerionsly tbe idea of Addenbrooke u a consummate actor.

III.

Addenbrooke had rooms In Gower strw*; a eitting-room ana a bed-room, divided by folding doors. The whole apartment had begun life as wnat house agents call a spacious (loublo drawing-room, and bore yet the marks ot its former state ot existence. The mantelpiece, which now supported a host of butties, variously sbaped and fitted, wu of white marble, heavily carvel— summoned np to the imaginative mind visions ot gilt aiocka and eandiasiicka under glees shades. The wells, bang with white watered paper, were divided into panels by strips ol gold beading; and loom the ceiling a shrouded chandelier depended from a twejttu-cake-i|ke decoration in wbite-and-gold plaster. Addenbrooke hefi drawn bis writing-table, with the tamp on it, cloae to tha fire, and bad settled down to a long night’s work. It was the evening following Lydia's csofession. and ha was too busy to get up to dt. John's Mwod. He sighed at the tnuughi of this, then plunged into tha pile of papers, which not only covered the table, bnt overflowed into several neighboring chairs. He bad not bvrn long at work when tha door wu flung open und a man entered the room. “Still in these gilded belle, Johnnv?” said a voiee, which was not quite ao drawling nor ao fall ot quiet humor as tba speaker seen-ed to intend. "Fleming, by all tbai’a wonderful!" cried Addenbrooke, rising with extendad band. Tbe newcomer wee a large, heavilv-built young man, with dark hair and a complexion originally florid, bnrnt crimson by tba African sun. Ha was distinctly handsome though the lower part ot the la<-a wss e trifle heavy, and there wu a lack ot'fiuiah about tha asra and nostril*. “Sit down,” aald Addenbrooke, clearing a chair and resuming bis own scat. “Examinations, ugh!" Fleming flicked with bis large finger at the psjiers oa the desk. “If it’s not your own exams., it’s other people’s, poor old Johnqy!” F aming bad the greatest contempt for examinations, in which, indeed, he bad conspicuously failed to distinguish himself; the len brilliant Addenbrooke having a commonplace knack ot getting into tbe first class, which is often tha way with your dull, plodding fallow*. Thee* two men bad been friends, after a fasbton, tinea their fim term at tha univereily. In iboea days Flaming had bean a raw, unhappy, self-conscious young man, subject to miserable, hideous flu of shyness, and aecratly ashamed of the paternal glove sbop. Now, perhaps, be was too fond of talking •boat the glove shop; of drawing jocoao comparisons between himself and i wallknown glover’s son of Btratibrd-oa-Avon, sod tha ualy remaining mark of his ■hynase was a oerlain empbaaia of self-confidance. Addenbrooka’s affection tor bim waa rather a survival from aarliar day* than anything else; though Johnny, it must be owned, wu nnoritieal, and, like many pvr-ons, imposed a far laas severe standard of eonduet oa bta friends than on himself. “Wheredo yon hang ont?” uked Addenbrookr, gathering together the despised examination papers, “I bava baan down to Twickenham with my paoplc. Can’t stand much of that, yon know. 1 am looking ont tor Chambers somewhere Bond street way, and Hra. Baxter ia going to pnt me np bare for a night or two.” “Oh. good. Yon know Hra. Baxter bu Abet portmanteau of yours?” ‘Ye*; she’s fatohiae it now, I believe, from tba lumber room. There are acme paper* in it I want to look at to-night.” Fleming leaned book in bta chair, hie eyelids drooping moodily, m they had a trick of doing; then be said discontentediy: “Haven't yon got anything to toll a fellow? Yon l/ondon people are all tha same. One goes away aad lives what aaami a Ufa* tiros its to eram fall of experience—end when one gets book, not a sonl remembers if it wea iut week or lut year they mat yon at tha Jankiaaoas’a dinner-party. “From what I hear, yoo’va ao cease to complain, Fleming." “Ob, of eoarse, one’s pestered with invitations from a lot of silly women one never heard ot!" grumbled tbe new lion; “bnt isn’t there anything ia tha shapa ot nawa?” “Weil,” uid Addenbrooke, slowly; “tbera ia one piece of news, bnt i don’t know that it’s interesting. I am thinking of getting married.” Addenbrooke had navar bean a shy man; ba wu only very modest, nod he bed not aeenstomed hia friends to taka aa interact in hie affairs. Fleming opened bla ayes full and a farad this friend ia tbe fee*. There wu always somathing atartiing ia his appaaranea under these eireaustences; perhaps because hie •yea ware eo rarely shown—perhaps because ot acme quality in tbaayea thernialvaa. They ware carionaiy bright aad vary brews—not a black maaque, but a beautiful, unuenal browa. Looking at them, it wu cuiar to realize the power, snch as it wu. wbiob Lawrence Fleming poearesed ever hia fallow-eraatnras. “Addeabrooka,” he eaid, leaning forward, and speaking with snddan iniattsity, “u von value yonr pane* of miati, bava nothing to do with women!” He flung himself baek, laughing a little, and lettiag fall hie eyelids, la a few minutes be burst into a fierce tirade egaiaat tba whole female aex, taking Addenbreoke’a annonneaascot merely ea a text. Even Johnny wu diMppolatad at thla lack ef internal ea tbe part ot hie frtaad; bat remembered having heard that lawrvoce had been bard hit before be want to A fries— that aetbisg lam, indeed, thna a broken hurt bad aent kirn forth to thoaa 'distant shores. Than, befora Addenbroeka knew wbst wu happeaiag, Fleming plunged into the very heart of hia ewe particaUrtfriavaaesu “It was last year,” ba said, “at a eoantry honsa. It begaa from tha moment ehn earns into the room. I don’t pretend to My she wu (he first; hat it wu different, somehow. I am not even rare that she wu good looking; hat there wu somothiag aboot hoc—if yoa eared at all—wall, yoa eared! She atayod a weak, and at tba rad of tba time I told bar, more or lees directly, that I loved her. I wu to see her the next day la London. Tbo next day, u M happened, I wu prnvaaud by my mother’s eerioae illness. I wrote aad told bar thla, begging her to fix a day for my vWl. She mad* no reply; aad tear days i. '

later I called at tha honse, to be told she wu oat ef tows. The sezt day I accepted tbe offer of “Tbe Ws ter loo Piece Gazette.” aad want ont to Africa. I’m sore I don’t know why I cared. 8be wun’t worth it; sbe bad given me every encouragement—bed even allowed me to kirn her. I suppose there wu a richer fellow oa baud, or ono whose father didn’t happen to keep a sbop!” Fiemiag rose, shrugging hia ahonldara. Adden brook* remained aiieat. Tha voioa of Mrs. Baxter, aanooneing that tbe portmanteau wu ia Lawrence's room, earn* u a re-

lief to both.

“By-tbaby,” Mid Jobnay, in a low voiea,

u tba other fell for bio kovs, “all this took plaoa at tba MeVdea'a, in Warwickshire, from

March tbo 28th onwards?"

’Ob,” aaswarad Lawrence, with aoma vexation, pausing oa bia way to tbo door; I suppose yoa kaow all aboot it like tba rest of tbo world!” Aad ho want from tba room.

IV.

Addenbroko remained behind, pacing tba ridiculous, incongruous apartment, while an unwonted atorm of amotion raged within him. c Tbe parts of tha pazzla lay fitted together in bis band; it only remained lor him to step forward and proclaim tba aolntion ot a most common-place enigma. An inefficient postman, a careless housemaid—on soma such undignified trifle had tbe whole complication bong, like many another complication before it. No donbt, sooner er later, tbe miscing slew would come to light, when he himself bad made its discovery of no importance whatever. Had be been of a melodramatic torn of mind Addenbrooke might bava laughed aloud at tbe irony of tba aitoation. His own dream wus shattered forever; bnt of that, tor tba moment, be scarcely thought, What he saw most clearly waa this; that, by his own act, ha mast make Lydia over into the hands of a man unworthy of bar— unlikely to make her happy; to think of whom in connection with her seemed contamination. Bnt the man whom Lydia loved withal! Thara was tha sting, tha shock, that for tha momaat took away his breath, and made bim pauae. Pale, motionless, in his walk. Tnen saddsnly, beiors tha modest and uncritical Mind of Addanbrooka flashed in vivid colors tba image of two men—of himself and hie friend. He saw Lawreoc* Fleming, with his showy, unreliable eleterueas, his moral coars*ness;ihe man stood before him revealed in all hia s-pond-rali ness. And be »aw him-elf, John Addenbrooke, as he had always been, in tbe dignity of hia irreproaehfui life—ol his honest, patient labor. He looked on this piotnre aad on that, and know each for what it waa worth. Then ensued in the peaeefui breast ot Addenbrooke a terrible war of thoughts and •motions. , Life, which had b'therto been a simple matter enough, a mere ease of doing yonr dnty and minding your own basinets, bad assumed a complexion of cruel difficulty. And yet be knew that the moie obvious aspect ol tbe matter was not a complicated

ooe.

Lydia no more belonged to him than a dog who had followed him borne and had been claimed by its master. He was bound, in common honor, to reveal the facts of which ne bad accidentally becom* possessed. Should he goto Lydia and say: “This man, whom you prefer so infioitsly to mysett, is tar less worthy ot you than I. I fa uas not led a had life, as men go. but he has not led a good oue. . . . ’? Men of tbe world do not do such thing-, but then Addeubrook* wa« not a man of the world. And it he had no other right over Lydia, had ha o»t that of his own lifelong love and her three weeks’ tolerance to it? The door opened to admit I^wrence Fleming. He nad changed bis coni, and bore a bundle of papers and a pipe in his hand. “Any tobacco?" ha said, taking tha empty sent at ibe writing teble. Addenbrooke nodded toward a jar on tba mantel-piece, continuing his troubled promenade across the room. it was dawning, painfully, bnt surely, on his mind mat his hands were indeed tied; that it only remained for Lydia to choose between them “Bnf it is I who wonid have made her bappy!” thought poor, obstinate Johnny. “Any match**?” said Fleming, with bis fingers in the tobacco jer. Joining made bo answer, and tha other fumbled in the pocket of bis coat. “My God!” This time Addenbrooke was ronsed, and came over to the table. “What’s op?" he said. Fleming pointed in silence to a stamped and addreuad envelope lying at bia feet. Johnny picked it up, with a dull sense of relief that matters had been more or lesa taken ont of his bands. He knew before be looked at it that it was addressed to Miss Grt-y, and that it was Fleming’s customary carelessness in the matter ot posting hia letters which bad wrought tba mischief. Lawrence was much exoitad. “It had slipped behind tne lining of tbe pocket! I have jnst taken tha coal from my portmanteau. O, that poor girl, that poor girt! what must sbe have thought of ma all this time?" Addenbrooke faced him suddenly. “Do yon intend," he eaid, in a low voioa, “endeavoring to repair tbe miechief?” It ia possible that ha bad a low opinion of Fleming's constancy. “I will go to her to-morrow!” cried Lawrence. A aaddan pang of personal angnish, aa intolerable aense of bereavement, shot through Addenbrookv. He thought: "After oil, perhaps ( am nothing but a jealous devil who bagrndgaa my girl her happiness.” Aloud be eaid: “Tbera may be difficnltiee at first. In fact, Mias Gray is engaged to ba married.” Fleming aroee, with an exclamation. Th* two men stood teeing one another: Lawrence, flashed, excited; Johnny, pel*, with tense eyes and nostrils. “Lydia engagrd! Lydial The women ara all altka. Cornff she have no patience, no trust, bat sbe must needs throw berseif away in a fit of piqne on soma fellow who is not worthy ol her.” “She ia engaged to me!” cried Addenbrooke, with sudden passion. “And, by Heaven, 1 think it ia 1 who am too good for bar!” Tba passion of snob men aa Addesbroke it B terrible tbing. Fleming quailed befora it. Ha gathered op hie papers in silanes and went from the

Mrs. Gray awapt np to Addanbrooka as ba •toad with hia hand on tha kaobof tba draw-

ing-room door.

“Oh. Professor Addanbrooka, I aa so

sorry,” ska cried.

“Bo am fhe answered curtly. It waa two days after th* events of the last chapter. Lydia had aada bcr choice, end bow, at bar ewa request,wm to taka farewell

of Addaabrooka.

Ae ebe came forward with flnahad ahaeka and shining ayes, to meet him, it etrnek him that eba resembled th* pietar* of a Bacchante he had aeea somewhere, A Bacchante in a tailor-made gewa, with tha neatest of cuffs and collars—poor Johnny! "I wish,” she said, whan tbair treating was over, “to thank yon with all my heart.” “And I.” he aeid, “wt*b to toll you this. Do not think tnat I merely took advantage of yon. I belfrvad that I oonld make yon happy—I believe it atiil.” she vmiled eadlr, and Addanbrooka broke

In a sort at laugh.

“O. Jobnay. Joanay!” aha eriad.

He bod so intention of being pitied, even

by Lydia.

“Doa’t diatraM yourself about mo. Lydia,” be said; “I have had my ehanca. Perhaos I ought to tell yoa that I do not think yon have cboeeo the batter man.” “They talked a little, aimlaaaly; then Addenbrooke held oat both his bands m farewell. It wu Lydia, who. drawing kim toward her, kissed his face for tk* lest time. 8b* knew, u ba stood tbera facing ber, that bo wu passing eat ef bar life forever. Per the moment he seemed transfigured, no ; looter iasigaifiMot; a tender bat inscrutable preeeae*—pitying, ironical.

THJK dew and keobt. A ConaproBoaatvo as tton ot their Occurrence and Cause. [Popular Bel»■■■ New*.] If, after a clear, cool night, we obeerve tbe aarfsae of the ground we often find It covered with moist are, u it it kad rained daring tka night. Tbit familiar pbraemanon, known u tbe fail of tbe dew, te dependent op»a some very interesting aad important seientide principles. Air p<iooeeaee tbe property ef holding a certain amount of water vapor, tba quantity depending upon tbe temperature. H ate temperature of 60°. for instance, a cnbie foot ef air bald u aeauy grains ot water ia tha form of vapor u it wu peeaibla for it to do, it would be said to be Minrated, jnst u a Quantity of water wonid ba •atarsted with salt when no more of that substance eonld be dissolved in it. Now, if the temperature ot tbe air wu Ineraased to 70°, its power of absorbing water vapor would ba Increased; end if it wu In conieet with water or a moist substance, evaporation would commence, and continue until tbe air wu saturated onoe more. If, on* tbe contrary, tbe temperatara ot the saturated air wu lowered, it wou d uecome more than saturated, and tha axe«a of water vapor would be precipitated out in tba form ot tiiiaiy-divided particles. One ot tbe most familiar examples of this phenomenon ia shown by oar breath on a cold morning, wban tba water vapor in tba warm, moist air from our lungs on passing into the colder outside air, condenses in the cloud-like form so frequently otwe>ved. When Ibis takes place in nature no a large scale, by a cold and a worm body ot air coming together, fogs, clouds or rain are produced. It ia a curious fact that tbe water thus precipitated from a state ot vapor is not in tbe form ol little drops, but of hollow vesicles, as they ara termed, Ilka minute soap bubbles. This peculiar form ia common to condensed water vapor, whether In tba form ol steam escaping from a teakettle or boiler, or tbe fogs and cioode which float in tha air. | it is only when the vesicles unite together that ordinary drops ara form- ' ed. This vesicuiar structure probably 1 help* in maintaining the clouds el tbair bigb elevatiou. Whatever the quantity of ! vapor in tbe air, tbera ia a certain temper- . stare at wbieh the vapor begins to precipi- . te te, known u the dew-point. If a goblet ; filled with ice water is brought into a warm room, tbe air immediately surrounding it is ■ cooled below the dew-|M>int, and a copious dsposit ot water ia termed upon its a-da«. i This water duet not ooze out tbreagn tbe ' glass, as some people suppose, but is sqns<-ze<l , out ot tbe air, as it «ere, by the cooling et- ; Icct of the ice. We thus see that it is only j necessary to cool tba air snfficienUy to ob- I tain a copious deposit of inoi-lure, and it the temperature ot (be ground should fail low enough, dew would certainly be precipitaied uuou it; but it is noticed ibstdew fulls upon warm nights, when tbe temperature ot tha sir ia far above the dew-point. What, then, causes tbe coo ing of the esrlb upon wbion ; the dew is m> ebuudautiv deposited? This is best explsioed by tbe principle of j rad ution. If we hold our hand at some dis- I tunce from a block ot ice, we .ball (eel the j coid ver> perceptibly. The hand radiates its j heal toward the ica, which absorbs ii so rap- j idlv that tbe temperature of tbe baud is lowered, and a sensation ot cold is lelt. Now, j just above the comparatively thin atramm ot air which surrounds our earth are tbe region* uf epaue, where the temperaiura la tar lower than any with wbiob we are acquainted; and it is to ihe«e c»id regions that tne heat of the eanh, tbe grass and other bod.ee ia radiated id the clear summer nigbta after tba heal of the •no n withdrawn. A* they become oeo ad by radial eg away their beat, they reduce the tein|>aratuie ot the air surrounding them below tbe dew-point, and the dew is thus precipitated, not by “tailing," as the common phrase implies, hut from tbe air immediately in contact with the object on which it is deposited. Tnis theory ot the farniMiion of dew also explains mm y of the aecompanf iug pi)gQnin«iis. A gentle wind favors the dvpoajiina ot dew, es it bring* fresh supplies ol moisture laden air iuto oontact with the cold earth or foliage. A bri*k wind, on the contrary, prevents its formation, as tbe air doe* not remain long •Dough in contact with the cool bodies to deposit Us moisture. No dew* full on cloudy nights, because tbe olouay.autaa a sore-n and prevent tbe radiation from the earth s surface to the colder region* beyond. It ia noticed that tba d-w ia not deposited in equal quantity upon different eubstannes. A bright piece of metal exposed on tbe groatid will remain quit* dry, while tha surrounding gras* will be leaded with inoistnre. Tnis n due to th* fact that different substance* possess diS'*rent rapacities, fer radiation, in general, it may he said 'that dark-colored, rough bodies are good radiators, while smooth, bright substances are poor ones. Air also is a comparatively poor radiator, or else it would cool itself down below tha dew point and form fogs mueb more frequently than at present. Hoar frost is, of course, simply frozen dew. Ia the spring and autumn the temperature of tbe earth may not only fall ocluw the dew point ot the air, but even below the freezing point of water. Tbe floceoleot form in which boar frost is often deposited shows that the ice has bean formed directly from the condensing vapor, witbont passing through tba iatermediet* stage of water. In soma parts of India ice is manufactured by this means: Shallow eartben ware dishes of water are exposed to the dear sky at night, and tba water is often frozen even when th* temperature of th* air is as high as 60° Fabr. Early crops are often frozen in the seme way, aad termers sometimes build bonfires in their fields at night, so that tba smoka (ball form an artificial cloud and prevent the radiation and consequent coding. Finally, tbe beneficial effect of tbe heavy dews of midsummer to the crops, when parched with drought, is of great value, and thev replace to uo small axtaut an insufficient rainfall.
