Rain After a Battle.

The question whether rain is caused
by the conclusion which occurs In a
battle is again under discussion. The
only answer based on facts which can
be given is that sometimes it is and
sometimes it is not, the phenomenon
depending on the condition Of the at
mosphere when the battle is raging.
The atmosphere is sometimes in a con-
dition when a very slight thing will
cause precipitation, while at others
the condition is such that the most
tremendous efforts fail to get a re-
sponse from the clouds. At Liaoyang
there was food after the fighting,
which compelled the soldier, OF both
armies to wade in mud for several
days, and during the battle Of Sahke
River there were violent thunder
storms, with great down-pours.
This does not establish a general
principle. There have been great
battles which were not followed by
rain, though so far as information Is
available, battles have been very often
followed by rain. This shows a ten
dency of ccncussion to precipitate rain,
but the atmosphere must be in SYM
pathy, or there will be no rain. This
10 confirmed by the experience Of the
vine-growers in Austria Hungary,
Italy and Francs. While they have
attracted rain and driven away hail
by their devices oftener than they
have failed, and have thereby saved
many millions Of dollars, their work
has shown that when atmospheric
conditions were favorable they were
able to assist nature, and when they
were not favorable they were helpless.
Meteorology is not yet science in
any scientific sense. There is scarce
ly a principle in it established beyond
recall, and yet it's votarles are more
dogmatic than those in any other sci
snce. This is perfectly natural. 1t
is 80 in the beginnings Of all sciences,
and at the outset of most enterprises.
The less that is known the more there
is taken for granted.
The relation of battles to ~rain is a
curious and interesting phenomenon,
but it is greatly hsmpered by the lack
of accurate statistics. Several gov
ernments have made experiments for
the purpose Of producing rain, but
none of them has been satisfactory.
With the fact to go on that battles dc
not always produce rain, the main
object OF such experiments ought to be
to test the condition of the atmos.
phere at the time they are made, sc
as to show when or under what con-
ditions it will be possible to bring
rain. The experiments Of the peas
ants in Austria-Hungary and tn
viue-growers in Italy and France
have been directed to the practica
object of saving their crops, and theil
success has been satisfactory to them
as they continue their system from
year to year.

Cut the Campaign.

There will be general agreement
among the people of the State, we
are sure, with the suggestion which
has been made by number of news
papers that the State Democratic
Executive Committee shall curtail
the circus business of the campaign
which will be held during the ap-
preaching summer. There are no
questions before the people which re-
quire county to county canvass, and
it seems to us that one mass meeting
in each of the Congressional districts
of the, State, with such other political
meetings as may be arranged for by
the local authorities in the several
counties, will be all that is necessary
to inform the public fully upon the
issues of the campaign, and to enable
the voters to Judge between the can
didates who shall offer for public
favor. The State has been cursed
with politics of this sort for many
year 3, and we ought to have at least
one campaign year in which the peo-
pie could judge for themselves as to
the merits of the candidates and the
issues involved.--News and Courier.
