SHOCK OF EXPLOSIVES
WILL NOT BRING RAIN
Prof. Willis Moore Says Popular
Belief Is Without Real
Foundation.

That the shock of exploding dyna-
mite or the conclusions Of battle will
produce rain, according to the popu-
lar notion, is specifically denied by
Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the
Weather Bureau, in a special state
ment. The statement is issued specifi-
cally as a denial of the claims of c.
w. Post who made some experiments
with explosives near Post City, Tex,
last summer and published the re-
suits. recommending the use of ex-
plosives as a cheap substitute for
irrigation,
at hardly seems necessary for the
Weather Burean at this late date"
says Prof. Moore, ito enter into elab-
crate arguments in order to convince
the public OF the utter futility of this
and every other method, so far pro-
posed, for Rrtificially producing rain"
Referring to Posts experiments, the
Weather Bureau chief says that on
each occasion, when rain followed
the use Of dynamite the same rain
was general or else covered several
hundred square miles OF territory and
that II had been predicted by the
Weather Bureau. He states that the
Weather Bureau Is interested in all
efforts to hnd a method OF artihcially
producing rain, but that II has no
faith in pop-gun shooters.

M|KADO'S STRENGTH
RAPIDLY FAILING,
DEATH VERY NEAR
Empress and Crown Prince
Devoted in Attendance
on Dying Ruler.

TOKYO, July 22.-Following a brief
rally early today, the Mikado is sink
ing slowly again. His physicians do
not believe he can last many hours.
A moderately good nights rest SEEM
ed somewhat to have strengthened the
imperial patient when he awoke about
a. m. He had slept naturally and
almost uninterruptedly for fully six
hours, and on reopening his eyes. spoke
a few words quite clearly and intelli-
gently. He also was able to swallow
q little liquid nourishment.
His temperature has fallen, he
breathes more freely. and his pulse
has strengthened.
All these favorable symptoms en-
couraged even the physicians, sure as
they had been previously that the case
was hopeless, and they issued a bull
letin stating that, though the Mikado
remained extremely weak, general con-
ditions were improved.
Again Losing Ground.
AS the day advanced, however, the
sufferer again began to lose ground.
Consciousness deserted him except at
long intervals, and then returned only
partially, and for but a few minutes
at a time. Practically no hope is en-
tertained.
The dying rulers wife obtained a few
hours rest after her husband had fallen
asleep, but was awakened, according to
her own previous instructions, the mo-
ment he opened his eyes, and resumed
her vigil at his bedside.
The Crown Prince Yoshihito strongly
urged his physicians today to agree to
his own attendance in his fathers sick
room. The doctors weakened in the
face Of his insistence, and are expected
to accede to his wishes II, as expected.
the Mikado's symptoms continue to
grow worse.
Prepare for New Rule.
The members of the cabinet are
all at the palace. The premier has had
an interview with the crown prince and
everything Is ready for a transfer OF
the imperial authority to the latter the
moment his predecessor has breathed
his last Should Yoshihito be unable
to leave his own palace Immediately
after his fathers death, a ministerial
conference will be held there.
incidental to Yoshihito's accession
but concerning Korea there is some
uneasiness. The troops are on the
alert.
Expressions of sympathy have beer
received at the imperial palace from
all the foreign diplomatic representa-.
tiyes in Tokyo, and all of them have
paid their respects also to the crown
prince.
