Another cause is ;the effort to pro- pounce a Word ee it .is spelled. Both of these causes are involved in the ex- planation of why such names as Price and. Preece, Rice and Reese, which really, are the sante names, have 'fermate pronunciations to -day. If the old pronunciation were followed, all of these family names would be pro- nounced with the "ee" eound, as en """ - ",see," '1"and y» are so pronounced in the Welsh speech, and they never had the "eye" sound in Anglo-Saxon or Norman-French, nor even so late as Bhakespear'e time, All of these family names have been developed from the Welsh given name of "Rh s," which meant "warrior," by , affixing', ffixi g ','ap" ("son of"). 'In some of them the "ap" has been dropped en- tirely. ; In others only the "a" has been dropped and the "p" has beenin- corporated In the name.

But before a raindrop can forin it must have a nucleus:, or centre. This is provided by the tiny specks.of.dust that float in the atmosphere. So tiny are these specks that each is no more than one forty -thousandth of an inch in diameter, and a cubic foot of satur- ated air may contain a thousand mil- lion of them. Moisture rising in warm air reaches colder layers, and becomes visible as clouds. A cloud may be likened to a damp sponge that must be squeezed 6e'fore water comes out of it. The squeezing is done by cold, either• a cold hilltop or a current of. cold air. So raindrops are' formed and at once be- gin to fall. :t3u.t _in• failing they may reach :fresh up -draughts of air, and so be pushed or drawn upwards again, If pushed up to a great height the drops may be frozen into lumps of ice and finally fall in the shape of hail. Water Is a liquid of only moderate density, so the size of each drop is limited. No drop can be more than one- fifth of an inch in density. If it grows bigger it splits. In splitting it releases negative electricity, and Itself gains. a positive charge. But electricity, like water, finds its own level. This process is always go- ing on, every leaf and grassy blade act- ing as silent •conducts rs. It is only when the tension becomes too great— when reat when a cloud is overwhelmingly charged—that lightning flashes and we have what we call a thunderstorm.
