There is not a more striking evidence of bene- ficent design in the whole mechanism of creation, than the rapid evolution of heat from atmos- pheric vapour, in the concentrated form of light- ning, during hot and sultry weather. Were it given out in the diffused form, it would cause an inconvenient augmentation of temperature. Besides, were it evolved gradually, as during winter, the number of rainy days would be so far increased, as greatly to interfere with the operations of agriculture. On t...he other hand, being given out in the form of sensible heat during the formation of clouds, rain, and snow, in the higher latitudes, it moderates the exces- sive cold which would otherwise prevail during winter. It was observed by a distinguished writer of the present day, "that the delight with which speculative minds contemplate universal truths, does not so much spring from perceiving that some general principle holds good, and reap- pears in a great number of instances very nearly, or perfectly resembling one another, as from discovering the occult presence or efficacy of some such principle in a multiplicity of cases which have few points, or perhaps no other point 312 EXPERIMENTS OF READ AND POUILLET.
