The rapid increase of the atmosphere's ca
pacity for vapor with temperature is invaria-
bly, prolific of showers in hot weather, if
there is moisture sufficient to supply the in
creased evaporation. But in dry climate a
very high temperature often raises its capac-
ity SO far beyond the supply that no ordina-
ry combination of currents effects condensa-
ton of rain.
The union of two volumes of air at $50 and
800 Fahrenheit respectively, produces two
volumes with mean temperature of nearly
59oF., or in excess if condensation ensues.
The present capacity of the two volumes is

Leaving deficit of l0.7 which the atmos-
phere no longer being able to hold, assumes
the form of cloud and rain. The result sup
poses the atmosphere charged to its limit with
vapor. Were the vapor contained at s6oF.
only 20 instead of 3l.6, no deposition could
ensue without further reduction of temper
ature, possibly caused at times by combina-
tion of several volumes of cold with one
volume of hot air.
Irrigation will, as its area extends, add very
much to the supply of aqueous vapor, max
ing the combinations of aerial currents more
fruitful in rain, which is now too frequently
limited to the cold peaks of the Rockies,
where alope the requisite reduction in tenn
perature takes place to produce condensation.

VIII Irrigation Produce Rain .
, the Editor of THE CHIEF:

To the Editor OF THE CHIEF:
Irrigation will cause more rain" is a pro-
verbal remark receiving the credence given
to customary sayings regardless of any essen
tial truth underlying them. That irrigation
will produce rain results necessarily from
the laws of evaporation and condensation of
water. The capacity of the atmosphere for
aqueous vapor at different temperatures is
proportionable to the following numbers:

The Cu.hmnn ditch Enterprisc.

Mr..Alf Cushman was in the city last week,
and from him we learn some items of interest
in regard to his ditch on the mesa south of
town. His ditch is completed from Mills or
Chapparel creek to the northwestern point
of the mesa opposite Delta, and water run
ming in it. His force of men are now work
ing on ditch to connect Spring creek with
Mill creek, winch will be completed about
the first of August. He will then place his
men and teams to work on the Uncompahgre,
south Of the work already completed. His
initial starting point will be in the neighbor-
hood Of the Cantonment, and the entire length
of the ditch when completed will be about
thirty-fve miles.
On Mr.. Cushman's ranch alfalfa is six
inches high; corn waist high, wheat and oats
are heading out. His potatoes have been in
blossom for week or ten days. All vege-
tables and cereals are doing very well, al
though he was late in getting them in.
1t is safe to say that next year will see one
thousand persons settled under the ditch.

DISTRICT COURT DECISION RKAFFIRMRD.
A decision was rendered by the supreme
court of the United States to-day in the
disbarment case of J. B. Wall, brought here
upon petition for mandamus from the
United States district lcourt for the south
ern district of Florida. Wall, the petition
er, was disbarred and forbidden to practice
in the United States courts of the district
above mentioned for having taken part in
lynching prisoner named Johns, who was
in Jail at Tampa, Fla, awaiting trial on
charge of rape. The petitioner asks for a
writ of mapdamus to compel the United
States district Judge to restore to him the
rights and privileges of an attorney in said
district on the ground of his disbarment
without trial and conviction for a crime
that was unconstitutional and void. This
court, in an opinion by Justice Brady,
holds that while there is no
settled and infexible rule for the Tegula-
ton of procedure in cases of this kind,
the federal court, in their decision, dis
bar an attorney who has been guilty of
conduct of such nature as to bring dis
grace and scandal upon the court, whether
he has been tried under the criminal
laws of the state or not. The petition for
a mandamus is denied. Justice Field
read a dissenting opinion.
OBTAINED JUDGEMENT.
In the court of claims to-day, judge
ment was rendered in favor of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad COM
pany for $17,5S5. This was claim
against the United States for balance

RETRANsPoRTATIoN OF CHINESE SUGARS DE-
MED.
R. NJ. Daggett, United States minister
resident at Honolulu, has made full re-
port to the state department with regard
to the alleged reshipment from there to
the United States of Chinese sugars, with
a view to securing the advantages of the
reciprocity treaty between the Sand
wich islands and this country. He says that
during the year 1882 only four vessels ar
rived at Honolulu from Chinese ports, and
none of them brought or discharged
Chinese sugars. But even granting that
sugars cOQld be imported and reshipped
in this way, the necessary expenses Incl
dental to this work, viz, lighterage to
shore, loading and transporting sugars in
land from one to five miles, mixing and
working with Hawaiian sugars, repacking,
reloading and transporting to shore, light
erage to vessel, would be in excess of the
evaded duties under all circumstances
Mr.. Daggett is firmly of the belief that
the Chinese sugars have not been in the
past nor are they now brought to the
Hawaiian islands and reshipped to the
United States as product of the Hawaiian
plantations.

Financial Fluctuations.

SAN Francisco, April 16.-The condition
of the currency continues to attract much
attention in Japan. The sudden and vio-
lent fluctuations are attributed to the
effect of speculation in official circles.
The failure of the national bank system
seems to be beyond dispute. and many
have voluntarily closed business, and
others are compelled to liquidate, but
others are said to be contemplated by gov
ernment. One it is said will be for the
purpose of making loans to industrial
classes at low rates.

$1,250,OO0. The failure was caused by too
extensive speculations in pig iron. Since
1879 James Marshall has been purchasing
largely of pig iron, under the belief that
it must advance. The dullness of trade af-
ter the long strike, and then the uncer-
tainty in regard to what congress would

The Great Scheme for Connecting the
Oceans Not Abandoned, But in a Good

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, April 16.-The Globe
Democrat tomorrow will say: The pro-
posed ship railway across the isthmus of
Tehuantepec has not been abandoned as
many suppose. Capt. ]. B. Eads, the pro-
jector, returned home, and from him it
was learned that the work is being vigor-
ously prosecuted, and that the
massive railroad will be fin
ished long before De Lesseps' Panama
canal is opened. Six weeks ago strong
syndicate was formed for the purpose of
beginning the work and making additional
surveys to see if the route selected could
be improved upon. Four parties of en-
gineers are already in the field under
general charge of Nj. Vanbracklin, and a
large force of laborers, and mechanics are
engaged in the construction.
The neighborhood of Minatitlan or
Coatzacoalcoe river has been selected as
the northern terminus of the railway. Sur
veys of the northern terminal sections has
been filed with the government of Mexico
and approved by is officers. Mexico have
appointed one of its most distinguished
engineers to be associated with the work
in accordance with the terms of the con-
cession. He is now at Salina
Cruz, on the Pacific coast, and
has been ordered to repair to
Minatitlan. B. L. Corthill, who was Capt.
Eads' chief engineer in the construction of
the Mississippi river jetties, is chief en-
gineer, Sir Edward Reed and John Fowler,
of London, and Capt. Eads, will be con-
sulting engineers. Col. James Andrews,
who has built the ietties, and Hon. A. G..
Cochran, Capt. Eads' attorney, have been
in London during the past thirty
days to complete arrangements for the
advancement of the project. The road
will be constructed to carry ships and car
goes of a..gross weight of 5000 tons, which
will accommodate 80 per cent. of the ton
mage of the world. Capitalists are al
ready interested in the enterprise in Lon
don, New York, st. Lou > ana Nsy Orleans
In speaking of the prospects of conple:-
ing the road, Captain Eads said he had not
the slightest doubt of the work being
finished and line open for traffic before
the end Of 1887.

THE CORSET temptation to tight
lacing is not so great as formerly, now that
the corsets are fitted by measure, and then
fastened in front by steel hooks. But al
most every corset-wearer would find her
waist expanding in size should she leave
off the corset and wear really loose cloth
ing. The corset steel is one of the worst
features. The pressure upon the stomach,
and thus upon the nerves back of the
stomach, results in weakness and general
invalidism. Many corset-wearers imagine
that the corset is a real support
to the strength, because they feel
call gone" without it. This only
shows how much mischief the corset has
already done. Their feelings are all unna.
tural. The muscles of the waist and abdo-
men have lost their native power through
confinement. If the toggery worn in the
shape of basques and skirts, with bands
and weiyhts, Expresses and torments her
when her corset is removed, the toggery
should certainly be reformed and the
muscles given chance to recover their
lost power. Physicians have always con-
demned the corset as prejudicial to health,
and the best artists have condemned 1t as
destroying woman's natural form and detrl-
mental to real grace or beauty. But there
is little hope of woman's emancipation IN
large numbers from these bonds, so long
as closely fitted waists, and especially
