Rain Making FalIacies.

The United States weather bureau
has many times given its opinion that
the production of rain at time when
It would not otherwise have fallen can
not be brought about by any means in
the power Of man. The enormous
weight Of air in a storm cloud of even
moderate extent prevents our believing
that discharge of powder or dynamite
can affect the cloud. Even If q great
shock could be given to the air, there is
no reason to believe that a shock can
condense water vapor to water drops.

ing a downfall Of rain from the cloud
thus formed. Water vapor is not con-
densed into water by shock. 1t is
condensed by cooling. The popular no.
ton that rain is caused by great bat
ties or other explosions is regarded by
scientific men as entirely erroneous
