EFFECT OF RAILROADS ON THE
WEATHER.
LION be Roston TEayelIer. Novembe


From the Boston Traveller, November Is.l
The opinion seems to be gaining
strength that the Pacific Railroad is
working a great change In the climate
of the plains. Instead of continued
droughts, all along the railroad rain
now fails In refreshing abundance.
This result has been remarked upon
IN other sections of the West. 10 Cen
trail Ohio, for example, i6 is said, the
climate has been completely revolu-
tionized since iron rails have formed
a network all over that region. In
stead of the destructive droughts
formerly suffered there, for some four
or five years there has been rain In
abundance-even more than enough
to satisfy oil the wants Of farmers.
This change is thought to BE the re-
suit Of an equilibrium produced in the
electrical currents, which has brought
about a more uniform dispensation Of
the rain. It is a fact within the OBJ
serVatiOn of ell who remember ante
railroad times, that we have now few
or no such thunder storms as we former
ly had in New England. The iron
rails which touch and cross each other
in every direction, serve as conductors
and equalizeFs Of the electric currents
and so prevent the terrible explosions
which used to terrify us in former
years. The telegraphic wires which
accompany the iron rails everywhere
also act an important part In diffUsiDg
electricity equally through the atmos.
phere, thus preventing the occurrence
of severe thunder storms.
