MAKING RAIN TO ORDER.
EruiW-ky MINISTER'S Method al S0u
Trolling Nature.
We have had but very little col
weather th, winter but hereafter we ar
to have even less, \ Baptist miuistc
in Kcnturky has discovered the origil
Of storms and Of cold weather and ha
invented a method Of controlling the ON,
and practically abolishing the other |
we suffer from any further area, OF de
pressed barometer or undergo any future
movement oi storm-ccntcrs, it will bc olll
own fault
According to this ingenious mclcorol
OgiSt, there are two hostile currents oi ail
pcrpcluaIly striving for the mastery in
our northern hemisphere These are th,
tropical current, blowing from the south
west, and the polar current blowing from
the north. The former which is warm
flows near the surface Of the earth, anc
the latter which is cold, flows, ordinarily
above it. This is somewhat At variance
with the accepted theory that heated ail
asccnds, and cold air rushc5 down to
supply its place, but no great discoveries
can be made without OvCrthrOwing pre-.
conceived notions. Sir Isaac Newton,
previous to undergoing that memorable
confusion from falling apple, must un-
doublcdly have believed that apples
usually fell upward, else how are we to
account for his establishment at suddenly
discovering their tendency to fall down
ward It would have been folly for him
to have denied the truth of graytatjon
simply because it coullctcd with his pre-
yious theory, and in like manner We
ought not to reject the scientific Zap
lists assertion as to the relative position
Of cold and warm currents, merely be-
cause it conflict, with an Older theory.
The two currents flow peacefully in
their respective paths in summer, but IN
winter the warm current frequently
| strikes against the polar current ana the
two dam each other up. The result -
that at the point OF contact two vast piles
Of warm aud cold winds are hcapcd up,
and neither Of them i, able to move.
