THE QUESTION OF POVERTY.
Who is Responsible for Its Prevalence in
Modern Society.

Poverty is a condition-manS ma
tural condition; and it consists in dcs-
titutiun of the familiar articles of
wealth daily used and consumed in
orr households. These articles are Tho
products of human labor: and if all
persons labor,d moderately. aided by
modern tools. invention and steam
power they would be exceedingly
abundant. 1t has. however, always
been the chief object of human en-
dravor to get somebody else to do our
share of the work while we get their
share of the wealth. This is the lar
.,St and most valuable source of prov
crty. for it prevents the creation of
vast amount of wealth, and drplivcS

successfully avoids productive labor,

The foregoing 10 on the presumption that

itely greater difficulty.
Two cauess OF artificial rain have been
suggested, explosion and fire. The be-
liei that battlea occasion rain Is older
than the invet tion Of gunpowdor. for
Piuiarch, in q sentence often quoted.
says: "It is matter OF current onservA-
tion that extraordinary rains pretty gem
orally fall atter great battlos." And he
explains this by Bupposing that some
divine power in this way cleanees the

until the rain may become more general.
This Ia in theory, but the records of

been caused by them. Relative to ex.

disturbance OF the water particles held

This Texas experiments were made with
out attempting to produce rain when the
conditions were iavoSabls for rain. but
under any and all conditions the attempt
was made, with the resuIs a practical
failure, though In lew Instances few
drops OF rain fell.
1t may be 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, when the conditions are
favorable for rain, explosives and fires
may precipitate rain, but when the air
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.
ments should first be carried on in the
physical laboratory before attempting
them upon natures great laboratory.

B S. Pague, the weather bureau fore
cast officer at San Fraaclsco, has pre-
pared the following paper on artificial
methods of rain pro ducing.
In arid or semi-arid regions the sub
ject OF rainfall in connection with crop
production is moat important one.
The question OF what lie the least amou mt
Of rain that is necessary to produce crops
has been frequently argued. hu. this one
fact can be 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 nnfa-
vorable 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 ell parts OF the
state is in condition to plow and Heed.
rhe rains OF December, January and
February are usually sufficient, even in
the phenomenal dry years, to cause the
seed to eprout and the grain to grow.
Statistics bear Out the assertion that it
lie upon the rainfall of March, April and
May that the crops OF California 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 Galiiornis, aud
consequent short crops, were in 1851, +,
1864 and 1877. The present season to
the south of Stockton, aud especially
south OF the Tehschspi 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, so 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:

iARRETT'S TALE OF WOE
HIS SLY ATTEMPTS TO BE RE.
LEASED FROM SAN QUENTIN.
: Jary Found m Guilty of Incest. but
lie son Claims That Malta
Garrett IL Not His
DRughter.

The dispatches have q queer tale
about T. NJ. Garrett, who was sent up
from Los Angeles a lew years ago to San
Quentin for 10 years, having been con-
victed OF incest with his daughter Malta.
The case was celebrated one in Los
Angeles, and there seemed to be no pos
sible loophols ior Garrett.
One of the most astonishing features
OF the case was tho manner in which the
old man created documentary evidence
for himself. There was always some
bar 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 th Q
kilograms from San FrsEcisco show that
ne had been able to bamboosle every
one with whom ne has conferred.
A very dramatic incident of the trial
was the sudden Disappearance OF the
girls mother, and the confusion that it
caused old Garrett was pitiable.
He mad been denying that the girl
Malta was his daughter, and his associa-
tions were such that it had occasioned
some doubts in the minds of those IN at
tendance.
When the girl's mother appeared,
however, and gave her testimony it Gre.
ated .evulaion of feeling that would
have resulted in lynching bee II the
spectators could have got at the iecherous
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
iinploring her to interes: 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 agsinst any such
action. In his letter her father asked
her for his sake to say that she had
sworn falsely. But ths girl could not
bring herself to thus liberate Garrett,
although she was very much inclined to
do 60.
If Garrett secures pardon he will be
able to pass the remaining years Of his
life outbid0 of prison walls
