A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Learned Boston Gentlemen Discuss the
Governments Rain-Making Experiments.

Learned Boston Gentlemen DISCUSS the
Governments Rain Making Experiments.
Boston, Sept. l.-Prof. Pickering, of Har-
ward University, does not put much faith in
the governments rain-making experiment.
He says: 81 have talked with some of the
leading meteorologists of the country, and
know that they are not in sympathy with
the movement, and that no benefits
will result from the experiments. I admit
that there Is a popular belief that great bat
ties and other atifcial atmospheric disturb
ances have produced rain, but think that
scientific research has failed to establish the
fact. am, however, open to conviction, and
shall be glad if definite results are OBJ
tanned"
Sergeant J. NJ. Smith, the United States
signal officer here, says: 81 belive that ur,
der given conditions rain can be produced,
but do not think that this can De put to
practical use as general thing for this
reason: When rain is most needed the
atmospheric pressure is high, that is,
the air is dry. Now, if there is no
moisture in the air you can thunder
away all you want and no rain will fall.
On the other hand, think undoubtedly that
nnder certain atmospheric conditios rain
can be made to fall. For instance,in Florida,
where the air is impregnated with water,
Slight fall in pressure will bring rain, while
out West the pressure may fall tremendously
and the atmosphere remain perfectly dry.

classed as stars of the first magnitude. The
former is probably about as bright as an
average star Of the first magnitude, but the
latter, from the Circumstance that 1t Is never
seen in high altitude in Northern regions,
appears to us scarcely brighter than star
of the second magnitude. Affair may be
recognized by its position midway between
two smaller stars. 1t is on the meridian at
6:06 p. M. on the 18th inst. 1t Is in the con-
ste1lation of the Eagle.
Fomalhaut may be very easily recognized
from the circumstance that 1t crosses the
meridian almost simultaneously with
Jupiter. The time Of its meridian passage
on the 18th inst is 1l:l2 P. NJ, and at that mo-
ment Jupiter will be seen within degree of
the meridian at an altitude 22o higher than
izon when on the meridian. Fonalhaut be-
longs to the constellation Of the Southern

that this location cannot be secured for the

no location in the city more central and de-
sirable for library for the masses-just
