A rainstorm driesthe air; more go'es • ult. than 'comes down; as t,he nun ' sets the air grows warmer; the hotter the 6ual grows, the colder the .earth1 be - "comes; the Sun rises before it is up and seta after It is down; these are ' strong statements and sound 'lice a fairy tale, but they are all true, Dr.1 W. J. Humphreys', quoted in th'e an- mial report of the Smitlisonia,n Insti- tution Which, has just been made pub- lic, explains all of t,hern, They are per- fectly well known to scientists, if not to laymen. As everyone knoves, Dn irlumphreYes declares; water evaoratee and. is taken up in the air as vaPots This action is eonainuens ell over the earth 'and the atneeSphere evOuld soon become very soggy it it -weren't dried out. Rain is thn collection, or condensation, and precipitation of these moisture parti- cles, .consequently the more it rains the less water, there is left" in the at- mo.spliere; or the drier the air becomes. . The. second -of Dr. Humphreys" para- doxes steenis, flatly to contradict the old saying "whatever goes up mast come- down." However, as- the .writer e:x- presses it, vertical circulation in the „atmosphere is only 'gravitational ac- tion, consisting in the sinking of rela- tively Cold and therefore' dense air, and rising of warm and light air. Con- • tradicted air descends, expanded air ascends. Therefore, mass for mase, the -volume of ascending air Is always larger than tii•at descending. In terms of mass, also, Dr. Humphreys says, de •'mending air is les,S thau ascending for air while rising contains immense quantities of [water in suspension, which does not return to earth with that air, but as rain, hail or snow. The air that rises tram the land surface is greater in mass by at least 20,000,000 tons per second.. the meaSuire of world precipitation, than that •which des- cends, he says. Not Hottest at Noon. The third paradox is merely aa way of stating. that the warmest paart of • the day is Eto,t at noon, wheet the sinita Is at meridian or 0-vent-ea:cis shOUld- seemingly be pouring down greater heat, but several hours later in the af-, ternoon. That is because the surface of the 'earth and the lower layers of air continue to absorb mo est heat from the upper layers, for some time f• *after the- latter have been receiving the moximu.ra amount of heat ,radiation . • - from the sun. While it is not yet universally con - -ceded that the next puzzler, "the hot- ter the sun, the colder the earth," real- ly is true. Dr. Humphreys etates, the evidence itt favor af it is, already very strong. There are, 'several explanae tions offered. The first is that in- creased radiation from the sun causes earth's air -currents to flow more rapid- ly, bringing down a greater quantity of cooler air from high latitudes to loever. He rejects this; explanation, however. , The temperature of ' the sun itself varies and sun spots are eruptions .eaused by heat activity, It is shoWn, he eantinues, that earth's temperature varies with spot activity; • that: the more spots, there arean Ple„0,1111 the cooler the earth temperature becomes, and vice versa. Also, that the sun's corona, in large measure only so much dust, must interfere with passage of radiation through it. Hence: Hotter sun, mare spots; more spots, dellaer • Corona; denser corona, less radiation received on the earth and warmer cli- mate ensues. Light Rays Are Bent. The paradox of the sun rising be- fore it is -actually up and, setting after It has actually gone down is explained by the sending af light waves when passing through the air, A stick when placed in clear water seems to bend; a light ray when sent through, the air does .actimIly -bend. The rays • from the rising sun are bent when they strike the air envelope. This angle varies according to .well-known laws, but on the average the light from the sun is bent thirty-four ,and one- half seeonds of degree, sO that tho up- per limb of the, sun when, first seen is actually half a degree below the hori- zons • As the angular diameter of either sun moon or star is less than this fraction it follows that when the sky is sufficiently clear the whole of either may be seen before even tig topmast portion is geometrically above the horizon, , While the reverse is not absolutely correct astronomically, it is added, when sun, star or 'moon set, because of the slight modification of refraction '-'7•17` due to earth rotation, nevertheless the difference Is exceedingly slight, Con- • sequently, as the light rays are bent up- ward by earth's atmosphere the, sun ' • has actually gone down before it is seen by a terrestrial observer.

Eating too much or eating too little 1,70r,tg, and leads to al175o1Its of trouble. in the matter of health there is probably nothing of such vital portance as food. Indeed it has been authoritatively. stated that the dura- tion' of life depends to a large extent to the kinds of food we eat. Hove much food coes the average individual.need for the complete nour- ,Ishment of his body? That is a vital question, for as hos already been said; too much food or too little ,focid is harmful. Of the two, overeating, is the most common, and leads to, indi- gestion in its various forms, liver and kidney diseases, gout, arthritis, some forms of eczema and a general chs - inclination to mental and, physical ex- ertion, especialdy in very fat people. The essisls of undereating include lack of energy and strength, lack of stored -up power for ernergenciesoloss of vreight anemia intperfect growth deficiency diseases, the -less -direct ef- fects of sleeplessness, sensitiveness to cold, and mental depression and irri tability.
