RAIN MAKING CIRCUIT SUGGESTED.
All the people in Wichita do not be-
lieve that the rain making experiments
are fakes. Indeed it would be surprise
TO skeptics TO know how many people be-
lieve In the artificial production CT pre-
cipitation- The Eagle gave its high build
ing for the accommodation Of the rain
maker. not because IL believed in the
theory. but because every man who has a
theory OF advantage 10 the world is en-
titled to consideration. In other words
the Eagle was from Missouri. as the
saying goes. The rain has come in good
had any part in it. is stiu an open ques-
ton. Certain Il is that more rain fell in
Wichita than ar any other point over a
territory 800 miles square The rain
making experiments were conducted for
ten days and scores Of people visited the
Eagle roof every day 70 watch il. Nearly
every farmer who came TO town wanted
TO see the operations. The rain maker
himself claims the rains Of Thursday and
Friday mornings and has q mighty fac
ulty Of making some others believe it In
the experiments he noticed many rev
conditions, ard he carefully noted ali OF
them One week ago yesterday, for in

shower soon. but in the eagerness Of his
assistant an overdose OF chemicals was

center. At another time he called the
attention OF the Eagle force 70 an i'm
meuse bank Of clouds he was forming on
the sky about degrees north Of west.
IN order u bring them over. he began
using more chemicals. The clouds started
gradually like ships sailing out Of a har-
Dor. and they were watched with great
interest. Every one OF them disappeared
over wichita II was suggested that the
cause OF this may be the intense heat
rising from the hot pavement and many
tin roofs OF Wichita, but the rain maker
said il was caused By an improper proper
ton Of chemicals On that day ne thought
