Theafcending of it in the Weather-gtafles to be by prefliire,
the weight of the Atmolphere in thofe CfÄs being much

and copfequently the aqueous Particles more nuraeroufly
ranged in the Atmosphere: And this I take to be the reafon
why the Drops of Ram are then ufually larger; and. perhaps,
for the fame reafon, the Bignefs of Hailßones may
