Abstract
UNDER this heading (NATURE, vol. xxv. p. 337) M. de Fonvielle made an interesting communication on a cloud suspended over Paris, through which he and M. Brissonet passed in a balloon on January 25 last. Its thickness did not exceed 300 metres. “The nebulous matter,” he says, “appeared perfectly homogeneous, and I could see no trace of any crystalline matter, but an unexpected observation proved that it was formed of minute solidified atoms of water in a real microscopic state of division.”
