It is only within quite recent years that the basic physical facts of rainfall formation have become well understood. Meteorologists are now agreed that thermo-dynamica cooling. brought about by the ver tical movements of air masses, can alone produce the necessary con densation of water vapor. Nature operates to this end through the medium of a vast and extremely Manro-Complex heat engine, in which the

Her processes are conducted on so Gigantic a scale that man's mightiest efforts seem by comparison puny in the extreme. To bring down the trifling amount of one-hundredth of an inch of rain over an area of one hundred square miles, a body of "air containing 650,000 tons of water vapour has to be raised from the carth's surface.

There are three classes of home. The first is in the interior of the colony, surrounded by walls, and the inhabitants can only reach their homes by passing through a lodge under the eyes of the porter. The families, who accept the offer of accommodation at an uneconomic rate of weekly payment, are placed first in these central habitations. They are strongly built houses, in which the number of bedrooms varies according to the number of children. The tenants pay about

If the families do not like this discipline, they can walk out, and return to their old haunts, but if they are found to be homeless, they are sent to an institution like a workhouse.

JUDGE AND DIVORCE- BARGAIN.

"CANNOT IMAGINE WORSE CASE."

Before Mr. Jastice Bateson in the Divorce Court recently Mr. William Edward Coldman, manager of a tourist agency of Anerley Grove, Upper Norwood, petitioned for the dissolution of his marriage with Mabel Elizabeth Coldman on the ground of her alleged 'adultery, with Mr. Thomas W. Bolt, her courir, cited as co-respondent, at two ad dreasca in Brixtos.

Ne upheaval yet produced by human "agency can be ranked in the same category as Nature's ennyul- sions. When we consider that even the greatest volcanic eruptions, such is those of Asame, in 1783, and of Krakatoa, just a century later, had apparently no more recognisable effect on rainfall than had the Great War, though thes were audible several thousand miles away, and for-months filled the whole world's atmosphere with dust Mre.
