Serviss "Why do raindrops fall individu ally. not touching each other while in descent f When we observe a, , light rain we easily see each drop as distinct as though coming through a monster sieve held by a master hand. And as much we can say for j a heavy rain. What causes that in jdividualism of the raindrops'.'—l. j \V." i To answer that questions we must . ' begin by considering the way in i which raindrops are formed. When . tlie air is supersaturated with mois- i ture the latter condenses around! : extremely small cores, such as float- I ing particles of miscoscopic dust, or I [electric nuclei, and thus creates minute globules of water, so light I that they continue to float in the air. and so numerous that they form clouds. Although, • seen as a whole from below, they seem to form a i uniform mass, yet the spaces bc tween the cloud particles are really large compared with the diameters j of the particles. However, partly —perhaps through I electric attraction, and partly through being brought into contact by motions of the air. the particles j ! enlarge until they become so heavy. that the gravitational attraction of i the earth overcomes the buoyant | force of the air. and then they des i cend as raindrops. | When they have attained the size 1 of raindrops, which are but a small fraction of an inch in diameter — one-tenth inch perhaps for the larg- i j est the retention of their indi ; viduality is probably due in part to i electric repulsion, all having acquir ied a similar charge .but, mainly to I the fact that if they grow too large |by combination they are broken up . by the force of gravity overcoming I their cohesion. One of five curious effects of the I cohesion attraction of the .tnole ! cules of a liquid is the production |[ jof "surface tension," which acts j |as if an elastic film, like an in- I visible, and immeasurably thin ; rubber membrane, were spread over ! i the surface of the liquid. ! Stirt'ace tension is due to tjie un j balanced attraction of the liquid i upon those of its molecules which i : lie so near the surface that a part j of their sphere of attraction is above I it. In consequence of sifrface ten j sion a snfall quantity of water sus- ; pended in the air takes the form of ja spherical drop. But if the drop is [ too large and heavy the force of ! gravity overcomes the surface ten ! sion. the intensity of which varies I for different liquids, and the drop is I! broken up, or its formation is pre vented. The cohesion and surface tension bf mercury, the only metal that re mains in a liquid state at ordinary temperatures, are much greater than those of water, tind you can see the effect of the difference by sprinkling water and mercury separately upon a glass plate. Tlie water wiil form' flattened, convex drops, while the mercury take the shape of little spheres, running freely about. Part ' of this difference is due to the great jer adhesion of .the water than of [the mercury to the glass. I Whether there is any fundamen tal difference between the fgrce of J gravitation and that which pro , duces cohesive attraction between [the particles of a substance is an | unsettled question, but both forces | when acting without outside inter ' ference caused a liquid mass to take a spherical form, because that is the geometrical figure which ' gives the minimum surface in pro portion to volume. ; So we find that the heavenly bodies, including the earth, are more •or less perfectly spherical, having been once in a- liquid or vaporous i state. In gaseous nebulae we appar -1 ently see spherical sutW forming, whieli might be fancifully called "nebula drops," being created by the condensation of cloudlike matter. | Molecular attraction, the force to j which the formation of liquid drops I and the existence of surface tension j are due, also holds the molecules 1 of solids together, and in this case it : produces the property that we call j tenacity. A heaVy solid will hold j together as long as some force like i gravity does not overmatch its te i nacity. In calculating the relative Sffect iveness of gravitation and cohesion j Jin holding the earth together. P. G.I 1 Tait found that gravitation is 25,000 j .times as effectual us the cohesive [force of sandstone and 100 times as I effectual as that of steel. But if the ! earth were reduced to a sandstone | sphere about twenty-five miles in J radius, or to a steel sphere about [ 100 miles in radius, gravitation and j cohesion would be about equally j effective in holding it together. The' j peculiarity of cohesion as compared \ | with gravitation, as Professor Bark- I !er remarks, is that cohesion is ex-I i erted only through immeasurably j small distances. * V [ Bakery For Sale i WITH OVEN*.
