Extract

In May 1891 I communicated a paper to this Society “On a Method of Observing and Counting the Number of Water Particles in a Fog,” and in July of the same year a paper “On the Solid and Liquid Particles in Clouds.” One conclusion to which the observations contained in these papers pointed was, that there existed a relation between the thickness or density in clouds and fogs and the number of water particles present. Though the figures did not show that this relation was very close, yet in all the fogs and clouds tested there was a rough relation between the thickness of the air and the number of water particles observed.
