CAN WE MAKE RAIN :?

The North American Review for
October contains two very inter-
esting articles from opposite points
OF view, by Prof. Dyrenforth on
one hand and Simon Newcomb on
the other, in reply to the question
Can we make it rain?"
General Robt. G. Dyrenforth
gives detailed accounts of the OK
periments conducted by himself
with Professor George E. Curtis of
the Smithsonian Institution. Mr..
Ellis of Oberlin College and sew
eral other scientific men, specialists
and assistants.
The site chosen was a Texan
ranch of 100000 acres CARVING
$4,000 head of cattle. The expert,
ments were considerably hampered
by strong winds which repeatedly
broke their kites or parted the
electric wires by which they we're
6own. The plan was to form
three lines each two miles LONG
and half mile apart
The first line consisted of ground
batteries of heavy charges of dyna.

WE publish in to-day's issue the
statistics of rainfall for the month
OF September. Hilo and Hamakua
districts have been blessed with
abundance of rain. But on the
lower levels of this island the
month was marked by a drought
above the average even of this dry
year. The long lane has found a
turning in October, and it may be
hoped that the excessive scarcity
OF water is over.
The report shows a very marked
difference in the different localities
OF Honolulu, the city proper being
credited with LOG in, while Ku-
laokahua shows only Al in. This
corresponds to the general expert
ence of residents.
The mountains have been re-
freshed by daily showers; Nuuanu
showing at 735 feet elevation 1852
IN, and at $50 feet 1852. This
striking difference of 3 in. to an in
creased elevation of 100 feet is very
characteristic of the valley. 1t is
these big mountain rains which
feed the artesian water supply, and
they may be welcomed ON that ac-
count.

"The Letter and the Spirit"

"The Letter and the Spirit"
Mr.. EDITOR: Another "outsider"
comes out with !, letter under the
above heading. Is it not little
significant that every one who has
written against me on the baptism
question has been so much ashamed
of the position taken as to cause
them to withhold their names2
Persons who thus fight under cover
must feel, if they have any shame
left in them, very uncomfortable.
Surely a Bible question is an
honorable subject to discuss, and no
honorable man should be ashamed
to confess his standing or position
on that subject. 1t is because
immersion" is San old question:"
and one commanded by our Lord
and Savior to be preached to every
creature in all the world, that | am
SO much interested in it. Men who
receive large salaries to preach
the Gospel withhold it be-
cause " 1T is not fashion
able" About ten days ago,
a theological professor, who
is we'll paid, had q class of forty
native preachers and Sunday
school teachers, giving them
three days drill on the Bible. One
of the preachers asked him to ex-
plain Mark 1915, 16. He read the
passage and asked, "What about
it?" We'll, said the native preacher,
"Dr. Hammond says that there is
nothing in the commission about
baptizing infants. If there is any
Bible for it we want it so as to
give it to our people," "Oh!" re-
piled the worthy Doctor of Divln-
ity, "never mind that subject, just
let that alone" "But," answered
the native preacher, DR.. Ham
mond says chat there is no Bible
for sprinkling OF pouring, that
Christ was immersed and that he
commanded immersion" The Pro-
lessor replied: "In the days of
Judaism when the priests killed
the sacrifices they sprinkled
the blood around. and we sprinkle
water" Yes, professor" answer
ed the native" but I see no light
in that-that is all dark to me; DR..
Hammond gives many places IN the
Bible for immersion, and we would
like to give some for sprinkling."
The ID. D." choked him off by
saying "You had better let that
subject alone; let it drop" That
professor should have q Bible and
a pair of scissors so as to cut out
everything therein pertaining to
immersion. He would then be
better able to instruct the natives
without getting cornered.
In n debate / had with IL min
lister who practiced sprinkled, he
tried to show that the passage
about Philip and the eunuch both
going down into the water; both
Philip and the eunuch (Acts 8, 38,
39) was an Interpolation, and
should be cut out of the Bible.
Surely he must have been stu
dent OF the afore-described Homo
lulu professor of Theology.

ing dynamite cartridges to be fired
high in the air. The third line of
explosive balloons which would
produce terrific airquakcs " at in
tervals of one or two hours
throughout the continuance of the
experiment.
We cannot recapitulate all the
details of the experiments, but the
first was with the ground batteries
only and was followed by 2 inches
of rain the next day.
On the next occasion, the ground
batteries were kept in constant &C
ton for near twelve hours, and
large quantity of oxyhydrogen gas
was used in the balloon explosions,
followed in the evening by a
drenching rain which flooded the
road for six or eight miles on the
way to Midland station.
On the third occasion, seven
large balloons were sent up and
exploded at heights from 1000 feet
to two or three miles, the land bat
teries continuing till IL at night.
Heavy thunder was heard at 3
A. NJ, and an hour later torrents of
rain fell for four hours over many
hundreds of square miles!
General Dyrenforth thinks that
these experiments have established
these two points: First, that con-
cussions from explosions exert
marked and practical effect upon
the atmospheric conditions in pro-
ducing or occasioning rainfall
Second, that rain can be caused to
fall almost Immediately "by Earring
together the particles of moisture
which hang in suspension in the
air." This seems reasonable, always
presupposing that the atmosphere
within the area affected by the
conclusion be sufficiently charged
with water-particles to be made to
give them up by Earring or squecz-
ing like a wet sponge.
Now comes Professor Newcomb,
who says: Il am not going to main
tain that we can never make it
rain, but we must employ adequate
MEANS" and proceeds to unfold the
known laws of condensation and
precipitation which govern the
natural rainfall. But when he says
that "sOund cannot make rain" we
do not find that Dyrenforth sup
poses it can. We know of course
that SOUND, as an appeal to the
ear, cannot make rain. Professor
Newcomb says that "ten seconds
after the sound OF the last bomb
died away silence resumed hor
sway. From that moment every
thing in the air i was exactly as
if no bomb had been fired" That
would be true of any distance
greater than ten times the velocity
per second of sound, if the concus-
sion ii. e. sound) was great enough
to travel that distance-say 1860
feet by 10, equal to about 2 miles.
Again, the sound certainly would
be, or might be, at an end, and ST.
lence resume her sway at a spot
half mile distant from the explo-
sion before it had begun to be, or
the silence had been disturbed five
miles away.
However, we will not presume
to argue the question in the face of
approved scientific men, but must
be content to leave it, where it
really is, in the stage of early ex-
Deriment.

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER

UNIFIED STATES WATER FILTER
1t is hardly necessary TO direct the
attention of the public to the fact that
pure water is one OF the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
OF our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into a
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the or
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. 1t
is displacing the old slow-working filters
in the United States.

think of it E! The article has
| arrived, and we are convinced
beyond a doubt that it is the
| quickest and best thing of the
kind ever introduced in this
or any other country.
While the Little Wonder"
| Freezer is similar to other
quick-acting machines it differs
in one respect: it is a success,
while others have not given
the satisfaction expected.
Among it's greatest points OF
excellence is the convenience
with which different articles
| may be frozen without any
additional preparations being
made. For instance! In the
middle of your dinner you
want a sherbet or a Roman
punch. Your cylinder having
already been filled with ice and
salt you simply pour the liquid
through a funnel, "Turn the
crank Charley and it's done
in exactly seven seconds
whether you time it with a
Waterbury or a chronometer.
Later on, perhaps, you'll want
an ice cream. The cylinder
does not have to be repacked,
all you have to do is to pour
the prepared cream in at the
opening and turn the crank
for seven seconds and you
have a morsel as good as any
ever made by Delmonico's
Chef.
Now, then, suppose at your
dinner you happen to have
some gentlemen who would
just as leave drink frappe
champagne as any thing; don't
repack the cylinder-just I'M
cork the bottle and pour the
wine through the funnel and
you will have it better than if
it had been prepared in the
old way by burying the bottle
in a bucket of salt and water
for an hour. 1t seems easy,
don't it? And it's just as
easy as it seems, AS to the
cost of freezlng-a mere trifle.
Seven pounds of ice and five
cents worth of salt. The en-
tire cost depends upon what
you freeze. If you freeze soda
water Or iron water and sar-
saparllla it means from forty
to seventy-five cents a dozen,
besides the ice and salt. Cheap
enough for anybody. Water
melon juice, syrups from any
timed fruits you may buy,
aerated waters and cream as
well as spirits may be frozen
with the greatest ease and in
seven seconds, or just twenty
three seconds less than any
machine ever introduced.
10 prove this assertion we
intend giving a free exhibition
OF its working, next FRIDAY. |
We will freeze all sorts of
things while you wait and let
you gorge yourselves. You
can try samples of frozen
watermelon juice, fruit syrups,
soda water, sarsaparilla and
IRON water, sherbets and ice
cream. If your taste run
to frappe champagne come

to offer you is a little article
