Where Idea Originated.

The idea that cannonadlng produced
showers of rain originated with the war
in this country between the north and
the south, although suggestion of such
an effect Of explosives upon the clouds
had once been voiced by Benjamin
Franklin. It was observed that in pro-
longed battles in the region of the Mis-
or followed by rain. At once the con-
clusion was jumped to that the heavy
cannonading had brought about the pre-
cinitation, and in brief time the idea
became rather generally accepted.
So strong hold did the idea gain
that in a few years one congressman
succeeded in having put through con-
gress an appropriation to defray ex-
penses of exDerimentation In this line
Of effort on the dry plains Of Texas.
AS usual in the advent of theory of
and adherents, and innumerable claim
ants to practical demonstration of the
efficacy Of shooting up" the clouds.
Farmers Were Easy.
Agricultursts in the dry regions,
anxious to increase their output Of pro-
ducts, were Eeasy marks for the ad
venturous and cock-sure rainmaker.
Many "velveto dollar was picked up
by the enterprising bombarder of the
armament. But all these private enter
prises proved to be failures-except, of
course, as they rendered plethoric the
purses Of the promoters. No more sue
cessful was the government Texas ex
penments, and the matter was perma-
nently dropped by national officialdom,
In the vineyard districts of France
the rainmaking enterprise found excep-
tionally exultant support. The grape
culturists wanted rain at certain sea-
sons to fill out their fruit Of the vine,
and they were willing to pay the price
for the rain artitlcially brought down
in the descriptive advocacy Of makers Of
ponderous bombs at a neat profit. But
here, too, the thing fizzled, and there
is no more talk In France Of iarring the
precious drops out Of migrating clouds.
Post Latest Victim.
G. w Post was the latest victim of
the rainmaking artlllerist, and he spent
a small fortune on a man who essayed
up by the use Of gunpowder. Mr. Post
is a persistent man, but even he finally
saw the futility of attempting to hasten
the processes of nature in this respect,
and assumcdly cogitated that his money
could be better spent In other direc-
tions. So he, too, quit.
In explanation Of the Mississippi bat
tlefield rain, the records of the weather
bureau show that in that region rain
falls on an average of Ia days each
year, or between two and three times
a week, So it is exultantly shown by
the weather wizards that the rain was
simply natural rain, and was not the
product of fierce battles cannonading.
And so they tell the assertive citizen
that much as the Bingham mines may
lombard the heavens, and vibrate the
air for miles around, any extra little
ture's own voluntary contribution, with
which the bombardment has nothing
whatever to do.

Theory of Explorers.

That unexplored land about the size Of
Greenland does exist within the Arctic
circle north of Alaska and eastern ST.

beria where the Russians are said to
have discovered land, has been the theory
OF scientists for years DR.. Roland A
Ha iris, of the coast and geodic survey.
years ago put forth the so-called Harris
theory that large area OF undiscovered
land was located within the circle. His
contention was based upon tidal obser-
walton by polar explorers. including Rear
Admiral Peary General Greely arrived
at the same conclusion about land to the
westward OF Grinnel Land. but by a
different method His opinion was based
on the prevalence In the Arctic ocean OF
large numbers of lat-tooped icebergs.
General Greedy reasoned that such bergs
could only be formed on level land OF
considerable extent, and that as they
did not come from Spitzbergen. Greenla nd
or Grinnell Land. they must have come
from an unknown land,

ships have also an accommodation ladder
which can be lowered down the ships

to whether In view of the disaster TO the

in and pass laws compelling every ship to

their base The boats are attached to
them by means Of blocks and tackle.
When lowering a life boat 1t is neces-
sary to push one end of the boat out
first by pushing one OF the davits out
ward and then completing the operation
with the other davlt. This gives the boat
an awkward swing from the outside. The
boat Is then lowered by letting the ropes
slide through the blocks. This causes
1t to drop with short. jerky movements
which cause the boat to strike the water
heavily. Once In the water 1t is an al
most superhuman task TO release the
hook holding the boat to the tackle even
IN calm water.
1t was undoubtedly these conditions,
coupled with the heavy sea, caused by

Sugar and the Tariff

The August Crop Reporter of the
Department of Agriculture contains
some interesting sugar figures. Last
year Louisiana got $4,000 tons of su-
gar from $4,000 acres of cane-a lit
tie over a ton to the acre. From
117,00O acres of cane Hawaii got STA
900 tons of sugar-nearly five tons
to the acre.
This Hawaiian sugar is produced
almost exclusively by Asiatic Labor.
OF the male inhabitants of the Islands
above 81 years of age, Chinese and
Japanese form more than 759o, while
the Census Of 1910 shows that out of
. little less than $4,000 agricultural
laborers over $4,000 are Chinese and
Japanese. The industrial system is
baronial, the sugar being produced
mostly on great plantations, each en-
ploying two or three thousands hands.
II the object of the Tariff were to pro-
tect labor in the continental United
States from pauper competition the
duty on sugar apparently should be
about 300%o.
OF course, there is no duty on Ha-
waiian sugar, for the Islands are un.
der our flag; and here We see again
that marvellous perfection of the pro-
tectionist system, by which the prod
ucts of foreign cheap labor are care
fully excluded from American soil,
though the cheap labor itself enters
in hordes.
It costs much less to produce cane
sugar in Hawaii than in Louisiana
and less in Cuba than in Hawaii. If
the Tariffs true function is to foster
every possible industry at home by
equalizing the difference in cost OF
production at home and abroad we
ought to grow our own tea in hot
houses under a thousand per cent
duty.-Saturday Evening Post.
