summer ; so that if one climbs to the top of such peaks he finds it 



always very cold there. 

 While he is shivering from 

 the cold he can look down 

 upon the green fields w^here 

 the birds are singing, the 

 flowers bloSvSoming and the 

 men, working in the fields, 

 are complaining of the heat. 

 One who watches such a 

 mountain as this, or in fact 

 any mountain peak,wnll not- 

 ice that it is frequently 

 wrapped in clouds (Fig. 5). 

 Damp winds blowing against 

 the cold mountains are 

 chilled and the vapor con- 

 densed. If one climbs 

 through such a cloud, as 

 thousands of people have 

 done when climbing moun- 

 tains, he often seems to pass 



through nothing but a fog, for really many clouds are only fogs 



in the air above the surface (Fig. 6).

 cloud. 



6. — Clouds clingifig to the mountain sides. If one were climbing these 

 mountains he would find himself, in passing through the clouds, either 

 in a fog or a mist.
