RAIN.PRODUCING EXPERIMENTS.


WAsHIS0roa. Dec. so Prof. II. A.
HsIen Of ,he weather bureSu has I oressed
doubt - TO the success Of The dynamite
rain making theory- There 10 10 doubt
that great conclusions frequently produce
rain, he Gays. ard this theory he has traced
to Piutarch, who lived long before the in
ventien Of gunpowder. In the war Of the
rebellion it was shown that ouiy about seven
per cent Of the battles were fjilowed by
rain. ard IL was not at Ail incredibis that
there should have been natural raia in these
cases.
''t may be ssiely admitted" he says,
"that io the recent Texas experiments =
good deal vas accomplished, though il vas
eonclusively proved that no raio Of com
mefcisi value could be obtained by means
Of explosions in that region st tuch times.
After several Of the explosions email drops
of vstef fell. and these occurring im-
mediately after the conclusion, were un-
doubtedly assisted 10 their formation BY the
sudden jar; indeed, as much ~ the, has
been proved in laboratory experiments. Ii
We admit this, however, ve must also insist
that no 4 sct could be produced by an e1plo-
sion half IN hour aftefssrd. As q matter of
fact, since the upper current, or that in
which the effect was looked for, had \ veloc-
ity Of fifteen or twenty miles an hour, we
should naturally expect to fad the rain
at . place rs or 100 miles from the poiui Of
explosion. The trials in Ttxss have
started . number Of other 20 called rain
makers. 1t 10 reported that airesdy a
contract has been entered into 10 Kansas.
BY the terms Of which rain 10 TO be Pre-
duced at the rate Of ten cents an acre.
IL 10 probable that the rainmaker in this
case watches the reports Of rain at other
places carefully and gets his credit from
natural rain. IL the farmers are not care
full they may be dipped into paying for rain
which would have come snyhow. II is
very plain that what we need just now are
more observations in the cloud regions at
The time rain 10 falling, Tor We kno- almost
nothing of the c&pse Of rain. However,
1t is very doubtful IL any practical method
of obtaining rain in paying quantity will
ever be devised.
