Clouds that Foretell Storms and Other that Premise Fair Weather Battles tha are Foeglit by Misty SqaadreiiK In the sky. New Yerk Sun, "It's easy enough te be a weather prophet. All you've get te de is te keep your eye en the sky, and it will be a very sly storm indeed that steals a march en you." The speaker was a gentleman living en Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, who has done a geed deal of sky gazing, but who says he has no desire for public reputation as a weather-wise man. "Loek out of this south window. De you notice these long, nairew misty-looking clouds in parallel rows that seem te be advancing upward from behind Statcn Island with the precision and btcadiness of a line of battle? They are the advance guard of an approaching hterin. The ba rometer has net given the slightest sign, and it probably will net until that skirmish line has reached the zenith, which may take hours, and yet I am as certain that a storm is coming as though I saw the rain falling." " De you mean that you can foretell a storm by lua clouds bueucr than by a ba rometer ?" "Anybody can. These winter storms, especially, announce their approach some times two or three days in advance. "When ever you ee these parallel stripes of cloud rising in the southwest and moving in ranks slowly across the sky, you may be sure that wet or snowy weather is at hand. Why should net the clouds foretell the weather? There- cannot be a storm or any considerable change of weather with out clouds and there is almost as much diirercuce pei ceptible iu clouds as in faces, if people would but notice them closely." " De clouds always foretell storms?" " Ufe, some clouds give assurance of fair weather. A very little practice will en nble anybody te read this language of the clouds. It is mere like studying a lan guage than you would suppose. Yeu knew iu Latin a change in t lie tcs initiation of a word changes its meaning. Just se a chaugc iu the form of clouds changes their meaning. It is no mere chance work, but a certain change always means the same thing. If ' cirri turn into ' cirre-strati, every meteorologist knows what that means jut- as well as the boy at the head of the Latin class knows the difference be tween ' Hie ' and ' llujas.' " " Then the clouds are net all of one kind ?" " By no meaus. About eighty years age Luke Heward, an Engii-h Quaker, whose business required him te take long walks in the ejen air, completed a classifi cation of clouds that has ever since been in general use. One of the most wonder ful phenomena ever witnessed iu the sky led Heward te study the clouds. This was the great dry fog of 17S3, that over spread the whole of Europe and part of Asia and America, reaching te the sum mits of the Alps and lasting from one te three months, according te the locality. The greatest terror prevailed, and the end of the world was thought te be at hand. "Heward noticed that there were three principal kinds of clouds, which he called cirrus, cumulus and stratus. Anybody can sec the difference between these clouds at a glance. The cirrus is the highest of all clouds. Yeu must have often seen it in the form of white filaments, sometimes called 'mare's tails' and 'cat's tails.' Stretched across the blue sky like delicate Lice work, it is very beautiful. Travel ers say that en the summit of lefty moun tain peaks, from which they could leek down upon the heavier clouds, they have seen these wispy cirri floating overhead apparently as far away as when seen from the earth. In calm summer evenings long alter sundown, these clouds may be seem reflecting the most delicate tints of color from the lat lays of sunlight that illum inate the higher regions of the atmos phere. "The cini are composed of little crys tals of ice. These clouds and their deri vatives cause thchales that arc sometimes seen about the sun and moon. It was probably cirre-strati that caused the great display of moon dogs and circles the ether day at. Denver. Cirrus clouds indicate both storms and clear weather, according te their appearance. If they appear in their most delicate forms after stormy weather, they are a sign that a jkji.eiI of settled weather is at hand. When they show themselves in parallel streaks after fair weather has lasted for some time, they are the first indication of approach ing change. Cirri, when greatly tangled and knotted, show stormy weather close at band. If their borders grew faint and indistinct, thcie is rain coining. " Cumulus clouds are characteristic of summer. The fanners call them thunder heads when they poke their smooth, white rounded summits, glittering in the snn like silver, above the horizon. In that form they are the forerunners of local thunder storms. These mountainous looking clouds sometimes actually exceed the gieatest peaks of the Andes or Hima layas in size. When cumuius clouds dis appear in a warm, pleasant day, net very large, distinct though soft in outline, and resembling cotton balls, they indicate con tinued fun- y -v-c.ir!"" . 0,: (.;;c ether hand, when they grew larger, darker and mere formidable looking they foretell storms. Just before a rain they some times seem te threw elf little fleecy clouds around their edges. Gectlie, the great German poet, who was fend of studying the clouds, said that as long as cumuli have sharply defined borders and a white color a continuance of geed weather may be expected. Cumulus clouds often form seen after sunrise and temper the heat of a midsummer day. If they gradually dis appear toward evening the weather will remain serene, but if as the sun gees down they grew darker and mere numerous, then leek out for rain. The cumuli are the capitals, or condensed summits of in visible columns of vapor rising from the earth. They de net attain nearly se great a height as the cirri. Cumuli are general ly from half a mile te two miles liieu. Cirri vary iu height from two or three miles te six or eight. "The stratus is most common at night and iu winter. These long ranks of clouds that I pointed eat te you in the southwest and which show a coming northeast storm, are a variety of stratus. They always appear in the form of stripes or bread, low curtains, covering mere or less of the sky. The night stratus is formed of mists from swamps, rivers, and moist ground. It generally rises and changes into small cumuli en summer merniugs. The ether kind of stratus, appearing at considerable heights in the fall, winter, and early spring, is, as I have said, an in variable forerunner of stormy weather. "These three kinds of clouds de net al ways appear iu their simple forms. They are frequently mingled together, and four varieties of these derivative clouds have been distinguished. The cirre-cumulus consists of little reundish white clouds, floating at a high elevation, and often re sembling a fleck of sheep resting upon the blue background of the sky. In win ter these clouds frequently appear before a thaw. Between summer showers they accompany increased heat Theyare com mon in dry weather. "The cirre-stratus commonly appeal's in shoals resembling fish in shape. Its popular name is the ' mackerel sky.' It is Almest a sure indication of approaching stormy weather. When it settles down into a thin veil, covering" the -sky, and making the sun and moon .leek dim, it is. certain te be followed by snow or rain. Yeu will see it in that form following these streaks that are new rising in the southwest and covering the sky before the storm comes. "Did you ever see a battle in the clouds ? The cirre-cumuli and cirre-strati are natural enemies. The first named is a fair-weather and the last a foul-weather cloud. When they meet, as they some times de after a summer storm has partial ly cleared, there is war in the sky. The cloudy squadrons encounter in mid-heaven te settle the question whether sunshine or storm shall prevail. If the cirre-cumuli succeed, the weather will clear ; if the cirre-strati are victorious, there will be mere foul weather. It is a war of de struction, and the battle usually ends by the total disappearance of one or the ether of the two kinds of cloud, all assuming the form of the successful party. "Cumule-stratus is the grandest of all clouds, and se it is the appropriate fore runner of great storms. If you ever hap pened te go up the Hudsen when a thun der storm was gathering in the Catskills you must have seen this cloud dreppiug en the mountain tops and hiding the great peaks like a vast curtain. Whenever you see these clouds looming up, you may be sure that a violent change in the atmos phere is close at hand. The cumulo cumule stratus consists of a layer or foundation of dark-colored stratus cloud nearest the earth, surmounted by bulky piles of very dense cumulus, net white and smooth like the fair weather cumulus, but rough, dark and threatening, "One of the grandest sights iu the world is the majestic march of the cumule stratus clouds across a hilly country dis trict in advance of a violent stoem. Ani mals, as well as meu, are intimidated by the fearful appearance of the heavens, and show their fear by trembling and hurrying te places of shelter. These clouds com monly make their appearance first in the northwest, rising black and threatening above the horizon. Soen the rumbling of heavy thunder is heard, and as the clouds approach the zenith, blotting out the sun, fitful gusts of wind arise, followed by pe riods of oppressive calm. Sometimes a whirling motion is seen iu the clouds. Then leek out ! If a black funnel seems te drop from the cloud te the earth, it is a tornado, and nobody can tell what damage it may de. The cumule-strati forfeit a term several hours in advance. The longer they linger near the horizon the mere violent the storm is apt te be. "The last class,' or rather subclass, of clouds is the nimbus or black rain cloud, which spreads ever the heavens just as the storm begins. It is made up of a mixture of all the ether kinds, and appears in every storm, but is seen in its most characteris tic form in a thunder storm. Sometimes it approaches within a few hundred feet of the earth, and at ether times it is 2,000 or e.OOO feet high. While it always appears black or gray from beneath, it is, in fact, surmounted by a snewv white sap of cirrus or cumulus. I have sometimes, in the hills of central New Yerk, seen from an elevated station the passage of a storm through a distant valley. The glittering upper surface of the clouds then presents a beautiful appearance, while underneath they arc dark and forbidding, and the pouring rain hides the landscape. " On account of the mixing together of the various classes of clouds; it is some times difficult te accurately distinguish them apart. A little, practice, however, will enable auy observant person te detect the prevailing characteristics. Indications vary slightly for different localities, and some knowledge of local peculiarities is theicferc necessary. Anyone who watches the clouds can form many weather rules for himself that he will find at least as trustworthy as the predictions of Old Probabilities."
