point. To cool it down another IL de-
grees would require al much more heat
to bo abatrActed. The amount OF wator
fct free would be 20 600 tons, which,
sptead over q equare mile, would give
about Ii pounds per euuare foot, or
D ~ OF an inch Of ralniell. The amount
OF latent heat sct free by the condensa-
tion Of that amount OF water would raise
100 600 tons OF water from the freezing
to the boiling point, and 1t would be
necessary to abstract this heat in orier
that the rain-making might 20 on.
The foregoing is on the presumption that
the cubic mile of air DO kept constant;
II the air operated upon Is constantly
changing, the task becomes one oil inhn-
itely greater difficulty.
Two cauees OF artificial rain have been
suggested, explosion and fire. The be-
liei that battlea occasion rain is older
than the inver tiou of gunpOwdor. for
Piuiarch, in q sentence often quoted,
Gays: at is matter OF current onserva-
tion that extraordinary rains pretty gem
orally fall afier great battlos." And he
explains this by Bupposing that some
divine power in this way Cleanses the
earth or that the vapor from this blood
stcame forth and makes moisture fall.
Ii from great heat large body Of air
il made TO ascend in "a column large
cloud will be generated, and that cloud
will contain in itself selt-sustaining
power, which may nave from the place
over which it has formed and cause the
air over which it passed to riee up into
t. and thus form cloud and rain,
until the rain may become more general.
This Ia in theory, but the records oil
great fires do not show that rain has
been caused by them. Relative to ex'
p.osiong or concussions, II appears prob
able that on the southeast quadrant oil a
storm, the region OF greatest moisture,
if no rain should fall. though it threat
ened. that great conclusions to cause
disturbance OF the water particles held
in suspension would produce rainfall.
This Texas experiments we're made with
out attempting to produce rain when the
conditions were favorabs for rain, but
under any and all conditions the attempt
was made, with tha resulS a practical
failure, though in lew instances few
drops OF rain fell.
1t may bo stated in conclusion that
admitting that explosives and fires have
in come few cases determined rainfall,
they can only do so when moisture Is
present in sufficient quantity in the air,
and from the other conditions, such as
temperature and wind, are favorable.
In other words, whom the conditions are
favorable for rain, explosives aud fires
may precipitate rain, but when the mir
is too dry no artificial means can cause
rain to fall. Legitimate scientific inves'
tigation for the production of rain
should be encouraged, but the expert
mentB should frat be carried on in the
physical laboratory before attempting
them upon natures great laboratory.
Those people who do not desire to be
duped will do we'll not TO contract or
subscribe to any rain making agents for
the production of rain. Money invested
in developing irrigating canals will
prove to be OF far greater value and
yield 10000 fold more returns.

j dARRETT'S TALE OF WOE
HIS SLY ATTEMPTS TO BE RE-
LEASED FROM SAN QUENTIN.
= Jary Found Fl IN Guilty OF Inosst. but
He san Claims That Malta
Garrett Ia Not His
Daughter.

The dispatches have q queer tale
about T. NJ. Garrett, who was sent up
from Los Angeles lew years ago to San
Quentin for 10 years, having been con-
victed OF incest with his daughter Maila.
The case was celebrated one in Los
Angelee, and there seemed to be no pos
eible loophols for Garrett.
One OF the most astonishing features
OF the case was the manner in which the
old man created documentary evidence
for himself. There was always some
Dar lett down, however, which made his
efforts abortiye.
After he was sent to San Quentin he
entered upon q systematic attempt to
create sentiment for himself, and the
kilograms from San FraEcisco show that
he had been able to bambooEle every
one with whom ne has conferred.
A very dramatic incident of the trial
was the sudden disappearance OF the
e;rl's mother, and the confusion that it
caused old Garrett was pitiable.
He mad been denying that the girl
Malta was his daughter, and hie aesocia-
tions were such that it had occasioned
some doubts in the minds OF those IN at
tendance.
When the gir1's mother appeared,
however, and gave her testimony it Gre.
eted a yevulsion of feeling that would
have resulted in q lynching bee II the
spectators could have got at the lechsrous
old man.
Following right along in the line OF
mis- past distortion of fatal facts, Garrett
he's told the same old story to the su-
thorities, and has succeeded in making
them listen to his plausible tale of woe.
There was never any question in the
minds of the jurors about his guilt, and
they did not take long to make up their
minds when the case was given into
their hands.
After the conviction and sentence of
Garrett he wrote letter to his daughter
inploring her to interest herself in &C.
curing his pardon.
She was taken back to New Orleans by
her mother after her father was con-
victed, and wrote back against any such
action. In his letter her father asked
her for his sake to say that she had
sworn falsely. But the girl could not
bring herself to thus liberate Garrett,
although she was very much inclined to
do go.
II Garrett secures o pardon he will be
able to pass the remaining years Of his
life outeid0 of prison walls

ABOUT ARTIFICIAL STORMS,
Forecast Officer Pague on This
Interesting Subject.
A Somewhat Pessimistic View of Re-
cent Attempts.
Experiments That wsrs Made Under
tho GovSrnmunt's Supsrvlaioa-
Mr Payuo'A Deduc-
tionH.

B s. Pague, the weather bureau fore
cast officer at San Francisco, has pre-
pared the following paper on artificial
methods of rain pro ducing.
In arid or semi-srid regions the sub
ject Of rainfall in connection with crop
production is most important one.
The question of what lie the least amoun mt
of rain that is necessary to produce crops
has been frequently argued. hu. this one
fact can he relied upon: Good crops on
other than adobe coil can be raised with
10 inches OF rainfall, il the rainfall is
properly distributed and the tempera-
ture conditions favorable. With unfa-
vorab!e temperature conditions at the
time the stem OF the product Is full OF
sap, 40 inches OF annual rainfall will not
assure good crops. In California the
autumn rains begin in October, and by
December lat the soil In all parts OF the
state is in condition to plow and aeed.
rhe rains of December. January and
February are usually sufficient, even in
the phenomenal dry years, to cause the
seed to pprout and the grain to grow.
Statistics bear cut the assertion that IL
ie upon tho rainfall OF March, April and
May that the crops 0fCaliiornia depend.
The largest crop ever produced in the
state was in 1880, when in April the
rainfall was the heaviest on record. The
years OF great drouth in Californis, and
consequent short crops, we're in 1851,
1864 and 1877. The present season to
the south OF Stockton, and especially
south OF the Tehachspi mountains, is
similar to the year 1877. As the stste
is developed the necessity for irrigation
is more apparent, and more irrigation is
practiced year by year, go that the same
percentage OF deficiency in the total
product will not prevail that did prevail
in former years OF deficient rainfall. The
following statement shows how the rain
fall this season compares with the av-
erage:
