Our Summer Rains.
To the Editor of the Champion:

40 Zoe EdlSor OF toe
Capt. Inman first stated that our sum-
mer rainfall was caused by detection OF
the northwestern trades into the valley OF
the Mississippi by the Andes Mountains
In his last paper he makes the mountains
OF Central America do the DETECTING work.
The Captain is as unfortunate in his geog-
raphy in this instance as he Was before.
Instead Of a high mountain range in
Central America, the mountains there are
low. made up for the most part of scat
tered volcanic peaks, rising nom a low
plateau whose average elevation does not
exceed four thousand feet. and whose
greatest elevation does not exceed SIX
thousand feet. Only . few Of the peaks
exceed ten thousand feet. But another
could not think 81 accusing any u the
eminent scientists he names Of anything
50 absurd, except upon seeing their state
ments over their own names avowinR it,
arises from the fact that the angle made
by this low range IL mountains with the
course II the trade wind in that latitude is
not such as to cause the wind 10 take the
course claimed by Mr.. Inman.
Again, the assumption Is wholly unnec-
cessary. The common view Of geograPh-
ers Is that the return tradies-in part aris-
ing from the Gulf and in part crossing
from the Pacific-aow in a northeasterty
direction mainly, though often turned from
that course to = northern an even north
western course by the influence Of the sun
upon the vast stretch III land which lies
open from the Gulf to the Antarctic Ocean.
The mountain theory is in no wise con-
cerued In the course Of the winds. az what
causes them to blow. 1t simply alleges
what is a notorious fact, namely: that
some years there is y vast accumulation Of
water laid up In the mountains as sDow;
that the melting and flowing out Of this
water upon the plains cools and Doistens
the air thereof. thereby favoring showers;
thai In other years this accumulation Is
waiting and that as q result the cooling
effct of the evaporation into the air Of the
plains VI a large volume Of water for the sea-
son is wanting: that the effect Of that is IL
cause increased heating. and with increased
healing comes increased dryness 81 the air
| whereby drOuth results.
With all due respect Tor Capt. dnman
| personally, his carelessness in stating that
| this theory is old or that it has been ex-
plOded when the facts are Otherwise, is
deserving u a more severe rebuke than he
has received. II he bad deigned to give
the yolume and page where any reputable
authority hal stated the mountain theory
