This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 Excerpt: ...usually travel rapidly over the country in straight bands of small breadth, but considerable length. The track of the New Hampshire storm was several miles in length, but only two miles in breadth. The track of the Orkney storm was twenty miles long and a mile and a half wide, and the storm traveled at the rate of forty miles per hour. On the 13th of July, 1788, a hail-storm traveled from the S.W. part of France to the shores of Holland at the rate of 46 miles per hour. There were two distinct bands of hail, the breadth of that in the west being eleven miles, and that in the east six miles, with a space of fourteen miles between them. The fall of hail upon these two bands was not exactly contemporaneous, but one preceded the other about fifteen minutes. Rain fell on the outside of these bands of hail, as well as on the space between them. Each band of hail extended a distance of about 500 miles. Figure 57 represents a portion of the track of this storm in the neighborhood of Paris. The dotted bands represent the track of the hail, while the three shaded bands represent the area of the rain. 249. Height at which Hail is formed.--Observations made in mountainous countries have enabled us to determine nearly the elevation at which hail is formed. Small hail is of common occurrence on the summit of Mount Blanc, 15,744 feet above the level of the sea, but large hail has never been seen there., In India, at the height of 8000 feet, hailstones have fallen of sufficient size to do considerable damage. In 1835, hailstones weighing eight ounces fell at the base of a mountain in the southern part of France, while only small hail fell at the height of 4000 to 5000 feet. From these and similar observations, it is inferred that, in the middle latitudes, hail ofte...
