SCOTCH MIST. ,
Tourists in Scotland are .sometimes
surprised to. bear. the nante " mist"
applied to what seems to them rath-
er a ehower of rain. The peculiarity of
a Scotch mis:t is that the drops et
moistuee Are very laege and stetter-
'jag. This *cording to the inveatiga-
tion of John Altkin, ie a result of the
purity of the air in the Highlands.
An ordinary mist orfog, in a dusty
coientey or a smoky city is dense be-
cause the moisture has innumerable
floating partielea to settle upon; but
Where the air is free from duet the
fog nuclei are' widely separated and
reeemble minute drops of rain. , •
