CAUSE OF CLOUDBURSTS.
Weather Man Says Forest Fires in
One Section May Produce Hard
Rain in Another.

Following the recent Hoods which
cost so many lives and resulted in such
an enormous loss to property in Kan
sas and South Carolina, a scientific
statement as to the probable cause of
such conditions and which make such
floods possible is not untimely. Sec
ton Director J. ". Bauer, of the Co.
lumbia weather bureau, merly Of
the New York and of the Mount Wash
ington stations, in an interview said
the great forest fires which have ragged
throughout New York and New Eng
land for the past few weeks are the
primary causes Of the recent cloud,
burst. -A
Meteorologists agree that before
condensation of the yapor of the at
mosphere is possible to produce even
the smallest drop of rain there must
be a nucleus Of dust or some foreign
matter on which the condensation
takes place; the drop then enlarges by
additional or accretional condensation
until it's weight is enough to cause it
to fall to the ground.
For the past three CT four weeks
there have been extensive forest fires
throughout New York and New Eng
land, and as the prevailing winds dur
ing this time have been from the north
east much of this smoke and dust or
ashes has been drifting in this direc-
ton in a so finely divided condition
that it was not perceptible to the I'M
aided eve. It will also be recalled that
during one week, ending May 26, the
winds were westerly to southerly, and
that that week was particularly cloud
less but as soon as the easterly to
northerly winds again set in the sky
was overcast nearly the whole time.
These forest fires, nearly 1000 miles
AWAY furnished the nuclei for the dis
aster at Pacolet, made the cloudburst
nossible. in connection with the high
relative humidity of the air, the baro-
metric pressure favorable for thunder
storms, and the typographical fea-
+ures of the country where it occurred.
IT is probable that somewhere with
in the drainage basin of the two forks
Of the Pacolet river and its smaller
tributaries, the rainfall was exceed
inoly heavy, but if it was only five
inches in so short a time as the three
or four hours that the reports say the
rain lasted, it is enough to explain the
sudden rise OF the river from a com.
paratively narrow stream to a raging
expanse of water .-Columbia Is. ca

THE BREEDING OF CORN.
New Agricultural Science That Fol-
lows the Same General Laws
as Stock Breeding.

Corn breeding is modification OF
live stock breeding and follows the
same general laws and principles. 1t
is the application of principles of plant
and animal breeding to the corn plant.
The per cent. of sugar in the sugar
beet has been increased from three per
cent. to 16 per cent. The ordinary beet
was improved by seed selection, SO that
an enormous industry has been built
UP and a new source of sugar given to
the world. This has been done with
plant which seeds once in two years.
Corn produces a crop every year, sin
gle seed producing return of over
thousand fold. From this great num-
Der of offspring, varying in size, shape,
color and composition, selection can
be made which will develop any feature
of the seed or plant. By continued Sc
lection, these valuable attributes can
be fixed in the characteristics of the
plant, and the usefulness and impor
lance of tha crop increased. To illus
trate the paint: We have been able, by
selecting ears having long shanks, to
increase the length of the shank nearly
two feet in five years selection. By Sc
lecting ears with tall stalks, we have
been able to increase the height of the
stalk almost three feet in five years.
By selecting ears from plants having
wide leaves, we have been able to in
crease the average width of the leaf,
and by selecting ears from stalks hav-
ing narrow leaves, we have been able
to decrease the width of the leaf.-The
Cosmopolitan.
