There is no surer sign of rain tbau two differ- 

 ent currents of doHcls, especially if the under- 

 most i^ies last before the wind ; and if tw^o sudi 

 currents frppear in the hot weather of the sum- 

 mer, they -'^hew thai a thunder storm is gather- 

 ing : iHit the preparation which precedes a storm 

 tjK thunder, is so n;enerdliv understood, that it is 

 iieedlegs to insist upon it minutely. 



SIGNS FROM THE DEW, 



If the dew hes plentifully upon the grass after 

 a fair day, another fall- day may be expected to 

 succeed it ; but if after such a day there is no dew 

 upon the gronnd, and no wind stirring, it is a 

 siirn tiiat the vapours 2:0 upwards, and that there 

 will be an accumulation above, which musi ter- 

 minate in rain. 



SIGNS FROM THE FJCE OF THE SKY. 



If those vapours wliich the heat of the day 

 raises from the earth, are precipitated by the 

 cold air of ihe niirht, then the sky is clear in the 

 morning; but if this does not happen, and they 

 remain still in the air, the light ot the morning 

 will he coloured as it was in the evening, and rain 

 will be the consequence. 



There is comm^nlv either a strong dew, or 

 a mist over the ground, between a red evening 

 and a gre\^ morning; but if a red morning suc- 

 ceeds^ there is no dew. 



It is a bad symptom wlien a lowering redness 

 is spread too far upwards from the horizon, 

 either in the morning or in the evening; it is 

 succeeded either by rain or wind, and frequently 

 both.
