Shooting at Storms.

Another popular belief has been
rudely shaken as the result of a scien-
tific investigation There has not
been much heard of late about pro-
ducing rain by the discharge of ex-
plosives, but the belief in the efficacy
of cannon in breaking up hailstorms
has been more persistent In the
vinegrowing regions of France and
Italy the injury done by hailstorms is
a very serious matter, and the firing
of cannon has come into quite gen.
eral use as a means of prevention
But now comes from United States
Consul Sharp, of Lyons, a series of
articles giving the conclusions arrived
at by the French department of COM
missions of meteorology showing its
disbelief in the efficacy of the prac-
tice- 1t does not find that the firing
of cannon is at all beneficial for the
purpose of dispersing hailstorms.
