IRRIGATION BY ARTILLERY.
(Corr. ola Cotew porary,)

Herewith is a brief statement of my rea-
sons for believing that "irrigation by ar
tilIery" is practicable. My theory rests
upon the fact, observed and commented
upon by thousands, that battles-and es-
pecialIy great battleS-are usually fol-
lowed by heavy rains. To this may be
added the fact that the battles fought chiefly
with muskets are not so commonly sue
ceeded by such rains as those in which
much artillery is used from which the
conclusion is drawn that it is the heavy
conclusions of cannon firing, and not the
mere burning of gunpowder, which brings
the rain. During our late war many of
the most intelligent men in the army
were forced to this conclusion. Among
others who have written to me upon the
subject is a major-general of the army,
who says "That heavy c%annonading will
produce rain does not, in my opinion, adj
nit of doubt" Another, likewise a ma
jor-general, says: 81 am satisfied that
rain can be produced by a heavy cannona-
ding" Another officer of high rank, in
speaking of the battle of Buena Vista,
fought in the dry season in Mexico, men
tons circumstances which he considers as
satisfactory proof that the showers
which occurred at that time were "caused
by the shocks to the atmosphere produced
by the c~annon-fre." A r~ear-admiral of
the navy says: sit is my firm belief that
invariably an early fall Of rain follows a
heavy firing of artillery; continued for a
few hours in a limited district of space"
Though scientific men, eminent in other
fields of research, have not given this sub
ject any special attention, yet there are
some who believe, from the evidence that
has come to their notice, that battles bring
rain. Prof. Alexander ,Winchell, in a let
ter which I received from him ON the sub
lect, does not hesitate to express such a
, 1875-07-10

ny, "If there was an intention to attack
Germany, she might feel kopelf called
upon 10 setf-defence to sThle the first
blow; and it was added that, Slough Ger
many did not desire war, to ouure peace
it seemed necessary that the French Army
should be greatly reduced. That language
was repeated here by the representative
Of the German Government in this coun-
try, and by our representatives at foreign
ports and it naturally created extreme
uneasiness and anxiety in France The
Times report leaves out the last and most
important sentence, which, nevertheless,
was flashed by Reuter- to Germany. Was
it uttered ? If it was, what becomes of
the Berlin assurances that there never ex-
isted any reason fer the scare9
The Belgian Minister of Justice has in
troduced into the Chamber of Deputies
the Government Bill for preventing often
ces like that of DucheSne -" Any person
offering to commit or become an accomplish
in any crime punishable by death or Pc
nal servitude, and any person accepting
such a proposal, shall be liable to be sem
fenced to a term Of Imprisonment not less
than three months and not exceeding five
years, unless there are extenuating cir
cumstances in the case. If, however, the
offer be made verbally only, it will not
be punishable by law unless contingent
upon some payment, or gift, or pro-
mise of reward" There seems no OBJ
lection to that law, but it should be con-
fined to offers in writing. Otherwise
every Ultramontane in Belgium may
be liable to attempts to extort money, by
threats of accusing him of having proposed
to murder Prince Bismarc'. or Minister
FaIck. The law will probably be passed
without a party division.

o S.
From tie ~Spectator.)

The Germans appear to attach great
Importance to the ~triendliness of the King
of Sweden, who has been visiting Berlin,
who, according to Reuter-not u perfect
authority-heartiIy approves the Falck
Laws, and who has taken great pains to
fatter the military tastes of the Emperor.
A German alliance is valuable to Sweden
as a protection against Russia, which must
always covet Hammerfest, and with it a Sc
cure seat on the Atlantic, while the neu-
trality or aid Of Sweden might in certain
contingencies be invaluable to Germany.
She could offer an invaluable base of oper-
ations to France. King Oscar is, there
fore, f6ted to his hearts content, and the
dream of a Scandinavian Union dies
away.
