Cleveland is 5 minutes of latitude 

 farther south than Des Moines, la., yet 

 receives only 268 hours of sun to the 

 latter *8 623 hours, Boston and Detroit, 

 which are in almost exactly the same 

 latitude, receive 602 and 426 hours re- 

 spectively. 



The Explanation. 



The number of actual hours of sun- 

 shine received in a particular locality 

 depends for the most part upon the 



atmospheric conditions of that place. 

 The difference in latitude plays a small 

 part, but not an important one, in the 

 variation. A locality in the northern 

 part of the country with a clear, dry 

 atmosphere will receive more sunshine 

 than one in the extreme south which is 

 go situated that it is frequently covered 

 with cloud. 



There are, broadly speaking, four re- 

 gions in this country where the hours 

 of sunshine are considerably below the 



average; these are northern New Eng- 

 land, the upper Ohio valley, the Great 

 Lakes basin and the north Pacific coast. 

 These are all cloudy regions. The gen- 

 eral reason for the cloudiness, according 

 to meteorologists, is the same, the meet- 

 ing and mingling of a warm, moist body 

 of air with a colder one. The cold air 

 reduces the temperature of the moist 

 air below the critical point, as it is 

 called, producing cloud or fog. 

 Each of these four regions is a meet-
