1 6 Vapor, Rain, Springs, etc. 



10. As the land on the earth's surface is higher 

 than the ocean, you all know that the water of 

 the ocean could not run up and over the land. 



1 1. Now, how do the waters which you find 

 on the land, even on very high lands, such as 

 springs, rivers, and lakes, get there ? They 

 are formed by rain or melting snow. Where 

 do rain and snow come from ? From vapor 

 or clouds. Where do vapor and clouds 

 come from ? The ocean. 



1 2. All of you who have seen a kettle or pot 

 of water boiling have noticed that something 

 white, like smoke, rose from the top of the 

 water. It was not smoke, but vapor. Vapor is 

 the water so thinned out by heat as to become 

 light enough to rise in the air. Have you not 

 also seen the inside of windows in cold weather 

 all wet with drops? The vapor coming near 

 the cold window is only changed back again to 

 water. 



13. If any of you should hold a cold sub- 

 stance, such as a pitcher filled with snow, or ice, 

 or cold water, over boiling water, you would see 

 the vapor rise, and as soon as it touched that 

 cold substance it would be changed into drops. 

 That is the way rain is formed. 



SPELL AND DEFINE Spring, kettle, smoke, 

 rain, vapor, ice, snow, pitcher,, window, boiling.
