Fog or Mist The phenomenon of fog or mist
occurs at all seasons, and it appears always under
the peculiar circumstances explained by Sir Hum
phrey Davy. His theory is, that radiation OF
vapor from land and water sends it up until it
meets with cold stratum Of air, which condens-
es it into the form of mist--whch gradually grav-
itates towards the surface When the radiation is
weak, the mist seems to lie upon the ground, but
when more power ful, the stratum Of mist may be
seen elevated few feet abovethe ground. 49, p.


Mist, too, may he seen to continue longer over
the wateE than the land, owing TO the slower ra-
dintion of vapor from water; and it is generally
seen in the hoilowest portions Of ground, on ac-
count of the cold air, as it descends from the sur.
rounding rising ground and mixes with The mir in
the hollow, diminishing its capacity for moisture.


Mist also varies I'M its character according to


its electric state if negatively affected it deposites
its vapor more quickly, forming heavy sort OF
dew, and wettiog everything like rain but il
posiveIy il coaiuues toiexist as fog3 and retains
the vapor in the stale ia which it has not the pro-
perty of wetling like the other. lsalga.. yGE


The fogs in holows constitute the true stratus
cloud We see vapor1at distance in the atmos-
phere, and call it cloud but whfn it sinks to the
earth, or will not rise, and we are imnersed in it.


we call it mist or fog When immersed in n cloud
on mountain, we say we are in a mist !; but The
came mist will be seen by spectator at distance


in lhe valleys as beautiful eirrostatus rosting on
