EDWARD POWERS. HOnenOn long be-
fore gunpowder came into use, and they
believed the rain was due to the unusual
flow of blood and putrefaction of corpses
Several years ago Captain John Y. Camp
bell, of Indiana, suggested that cannon be
planted in the earth and bombs or shells
be-tired directly upward to explode in the
air. but the experiment was not tried. In
1871 Mr.. Edward Powers, of Delavan, Wis,
published II book called "Wnr and the
Weather." in which he set forth an eluh-
crate theory, The result of many years
study. He laid much stress on the fact
that nearly all the great battles of the
Mexican war We're fought in the dry sea-
son, and yet heavy rains followed. Mr.,
Powers became enthusiastic on the sub
jcct, was present during the experiments
by General Dyrenforth and many of his
suggestions were adopted. -
One OF two things is certain--either the
Dyrenforth party did make rain" ut Mid
land, Tex, or there was most cXtraor-
dinary coincidence, or rather series of CO.
incidences. They operated in the drycst
part OF the dry season and the weather at
once became rainy. They found the grass
dry overu large area aud left it green and
growing vigorously. When they fired
their last lot Of explosives on Aug. % the
air was so dry that the tests scarcely
showed humidity ut nll. but at S o'clock
next morning came n splendid thunder
storm, and after it four hours rain over II
large area It FL Puso, however, the ex-
periment failed
