be wanted, so that they can arrange
their advertising accordingly. Wbile
it is too early in the season as yet

nicely. It was only a few days be-

HOW HAILSTONES ARE MADE,
a
The beginning of the hailstone is
a tiny piece of dirt or fluff' whirled
skyward by an ascending current.
When it gets up a good way, e
' tho
moisture of tho atmosphere clings
to It, and when it at leagth reaches
h I I t tl • th t ' t I
a e g 1 a ime„ e erepera inn s
below the freezing point, it becomes
a sinall Pellet of ice. It is tossed
lni mid 'down, like the glass ball on
a fountain jet, and its size increases
continually till it gets too heavy for
that kind, of sport and tionbies
Uownwards. It gathers more ice as
it descends, but when it, gets into
wanner strata of air it naturally
melts, illness it gets caught in the
disturbance of a storm. IC that
happens, it is blown about. and 'final-
1y receives an impetus which sends
it to earth before It can molt,
