In Peru, or ratber thut part of it called the Vulles. it never rains at all, but in the winter a denge fog arises which intercepts the rays of the sun. The reason for this fact of its never raining, given by the au thority we bas-e consulted, is that -the trind be-# alwayis been from the south to the north," that i. fromi a colder to a warmer region. Thm theory is in accord ance with the other, as to the manuer in which rai is produced. The character or the wind necessarily affects the pro-abilities of net and dry wenthcr. In Eugland they are nearly ertain to hive raisi, if it blows from the south and southwest. and dry weathe: if the reverse.
