MAKERS OF RAIN
ARE FAKIRS SAYS
WEATHER MAN
Chief of Government Bureau
Decries Attempts as Mis-
leading the Public.
EXPERIMENTS ARE USELESS
Theory on Which They Work Are Op-
posed to Nature-Good for
Advertising Only.

Relative to the proposed rain-mak-
ing experiments at Battle Creek,
Mich, tomorrow to which Mayor H. NJ.
Schriver was invited, when it is in
tended to bombard the skies with
quantities of dynamite, Professor Will
lis l.. Moore, chief of the weather
bureau, issues the following state
ment:
Numerous reports have come to the
weather bureau indicating an epidem-
&c of 'rain-making' has broken out in
various parts of the country, original
ing in some experiments of this char
acter made by c. w. Post, near Post
City, Tex, last summer. The method
adopted was the familiar one of set
ting OFF powerful explosives until, as
is alleged, the Earring of the atmo-
sphere leads to the condensation and
precipitation of moisture.
Mr.. Post claims that copious show
ers followed three of the four expert,
ments made by him last summer. He,
however, ignores the fact that in each
case when rain occurred it was gen,
eral over much OF the state of Texas
or at least over several hundred
square miles of territory surrounding
the place of experiments; and, what
is more significant, had been predict.
ed by the weather bureau on the basis
