by appears to have succeeded At length in demon
sra,ing the prscticab,ity Of producing rain in time
ofdrought hy ....Gc!.!! :::-:"- - Circular on the
subject has been published, comprising certificates
from numerous credible wines that the expert
ynent successfully tried last summer in two ca
ses in this state nj Cowdersport and in Nc
Kesn county, and another in Indiana. At Cow
dcrsport, on tha 18th Of July. taow of six acres
was bu Mt. The day was calm and warm; there
were some flying clouds with slight appearance of
rain to the north, but none in the neghborhood.
The fire spread rapidly and burned with great vio-
ience. In a short time a white cloud was seen to
form over the black smoke which over the fire
with great velocity, yearly perpend cular, and in
less than hour rain descended, to the west of
IL llltc, Uhb 10 tue east The
shower was violent. Judge Ives also testfes that
a iallow of considerable size was burnt in NJ Kean
county very clear day: that almost immedi-
Atey after il fired cloud formed and produced
heavy shower directly east OF the fire, and any

Or, w. Hembel Salier. of Pulaski county, Indi-
ana, gives an interesting account OF a rain which
was produced by the burning ofa prairie seven or
eight miles northeast OF his residence, on the 9th
day of August-when there was no appearance of
rain, and when the thermometer stool at 50. The
formation Of the clouds a. a moment when no 9th
ers were seen within fifty miles of the place, ap
peared TO be in all respects according the condi
lions OF the theory.
In one nt HE earliest publications on the subject
Mr.. h. stated that rain could be produced only in
time of drought in calm weather with high dew
point; aud that when produced it would travel to-
wards the cast from the place OF beginning. 1t will
he seen that this prediction appears to have been
fully verified.
