ShiJ~ For War and Peace.

Those unfamiliar with the differences
in the construction of ships made for
war and peace may wonder that the
speed OF 13.1 knots an hour maintained
by the Kearsarge is n cause for jubila-
ton when passenger steamers make
more than twenty knots. The pas
senger ship, being built for speed, is
given length ten times her beam
measurement, while in the floating
battery the proportion is but five TO
one. The liner uses $1,000 TO 81 600
horsepower. while the Kearsarge uses
but $500. The Kearsargc made in her
official trials 1854 knots, but she was
then creased for the occasion; every
lump Of coal used had been sorted out
by the builders. and a crew. every man
an expert, employed regularly in trials,
sustained that speed for but four hours
and in smooth water.

RAFN-EAKING EXPERIMENTS.

II is not at ali strange that people whose inter
ests reaffected the present drouth in Canada,
New England and the Middle Atlantic States
should jump at any chance TO secure relief.
Some Of their projects are, however, unprom-
fsing Scientific men long ago became con-
vfnced that the occasional association be
tween bombardment and rain after a heavy
battle was purely accidental They think that
the precipitation would have come anyhow,
owing TO other causes and point 10 the fact
that many engagements in which artillery was
employed were not attended with the same
consequences. After testing the theories Of
General Dyrenforth ten years ago, the United
States Weather Bureau reached the conclusion
that explosions in the upper air had no effect
whatever Overlooking those experiments and
conclusions perhaps one OF The Tribune's con-
temporaries in this city promoted a similar
venture in 1900. but with absolutely no success.
a lot OF vine growers in Southern Europe are
resorting t. practically the same means 10
break up hailstorms. Possibly they. TOO, Will
in time conclude that their procedure is fool
fish. At any rate. it is hardly logical to resort
10 bornbardment both to induce and TO stave
OF precipitation.
A partial but convincing explanation Of the
present drouth is furnished by the daily
weather maps. ANY one who possesses the
most elementary knowledge Of meteorology is
aware that rain and SHOW occur in this coun-
Try only in connection with the great baro-
metric depressions, which move in a generally
eastward direction across the continent The
area in which most precipitation is observed
is not at the centre, but in advance of IT, say
from two hundred to five hundred miles The
grea1 majority Of these depressions, when they
come as far east as the Mississippi Valley, fol
low the Great lakes and St Lawrence Valley
10 the Atlantic Since the middle OF April,
however all storms which have entered the
country have departed from that rule Either
they would move out 10 the southward-per-
haps entering the Gulf of Mexfco-or they
would die out In the litter case precipitation
would cease with the rising OF the barometer
at the centre of the 'low." To all appear
ances this abnormal behavior was due to the
singular obstinacy OF areas Of high barometer
which fingered over the lakes and blocked the
path of the storsls-
Now. eccentricities OF that sort are COM
nensated by eccentricittes of another kind IN
another part Of the country OF the hemisphere.
While their cause is not fully understood. most
netecrolosfsts worthy of the name believe that
hotb highs and lows are a product Of the
great currents which flow between equatorial
and polar regions, and hence the general cir
cu,ation of the atmosphere. Sooner or later

itself We are persuaded that when the ffesi-

situation they will be convinced OF the Necessity
of giving Mr. Bristows report the same prompt
publication which mas been given TO the replies
of Mr. Smith and Mr. Heath
The interest of the administration requires
not merely the thorough and lmpartial lh'eSti-
cation Of the postoffice scandals, but the avoid
ance OF even unreasonable suspicion Oh laVoil'-
ism or suppression. The Tulloch charges have
made q deep impression on the public mind,
and. however good the reasons may have been
for withholding up to the present time Mr.. Bris-
tows letter. 1t will be impossible to avoid wide
spread criticism of the thoroughness of the In
vestigation If papers which are believed to sus-
taia those charges are longer kept from public
view when various answers tending to discredlt
them have speedily been made known.
A strange rumor comes from the West to the
effect that Mr.. Perry S. Heath is finding this a
convenient time for long trip to China II this
is true he really cannot realize how important
a factor he is in the present investigation and
how imperative is bis duty to remain and aid
in il His knowledge Of the affairs of the de-
partment is extensive, and he is likely to be
needed for the elucidaion Of many transactions
which are being brought within the widening
scope of the inquiry. The government ought
surely to insist on all the help he can give, and
ought to have him constantly at hand. No
doubt the officials doing their best TO get at
the bottom of the scandals, but any error Of
Judgment which led to the suppression of Mr..
Bristow's report permitted the absence Of Mr..
Heath would make it difficult to convince
