Abstract
A VERY perfect illustration of the method of formation of cumuli was noted by the writer recently. A perpendicular column of smoke was seen capped at a vast height by a rounded mass of cumulus cloud having a flattened under surface. The ascending warm current being traceable by the smoke, and the cloud-cap very distinct and persistent, the appearance was very striking, the sky in the vicinity being intensely blue and otherwise cloudless.
