UNIQUE DIFFUSION
Of HORTICULTURISTS

washington. June 9.-The extensive
reports Of United states Consul Covert,
at Lyons. France. relative TO tie sue
cess Of cannon firing in France as a
means Of protecting orchards and Vine
yal-ds from haiIstOrus and also for the
purpose Of mitigating or multiplying the
effects Of fvosts upon vegetation. have
prompted numerous inquiries by hOrtt-
cultErists ia this country as 70 when,
If at all, our government would adopt
similar methods OF protection
Professor Willis L fTOOre, the chief
Of the weather bureau, acting under
the direction OF Secretary Wilson,
therefore has issued to the press the
following statement:
after an examination Of all that
has been published during the past two
years. my convection is that we have
here to do with a popular delusiOn as
remarkable as is the belief in the eff
feet of the moon on the weather. The
uneduCated DeasantTy of Europe seem
to be looking for something miracl-
louz. They would rather believe in
cannOuadiuE as a means of protection
and spend on 1T abundance Of money,
time and labor, than adopt the very
simple expedient of mutual insurance
against the losses that must inevitably
occur.
'1lhe great processes going on in the
atmosphere are conducted on too large
a scale to warrant any man or nacion
in attempting to control them. The
energy expended by nature in the pro-
rainsborm exceeds the combined energy
Of al the steam engines and explosives

that befell him in Munich, Illustrative OF
the difference in prevailing customs.
Armed with a number Of letters of intro
ductiOn to European railroad officials, he
made fl q point to inquire into the work
inEs OF the various systems, and was
treated with uniform courtesy. At Mu-
mich he thought he had acquired all the
information ne was after, and as he
passed out Of the office of the man with
whom he had been talking he put on his
hat. He had scarcely been uShered out
when it occurred to him that there was
one matter about which he had forgotten
TO inquire. Il Immediately retraCed my
steps said the BhiIadelphian. and
again entered the. Office, neglecting to re-
move my hat. I saw the same official
with whom I had been talking, and apollo
giving for taking UP so much of his time.
II put the question to him. Without a
word he reached up, took off my hat and
placed il in my hand. Then he answered
my query and bowed me out. 1t made me
feel rather cheap
