chemIeal Rain

1t has long been known that the
dirty rain of every smoky region is a
disastrous thing for vegetation. 1t
now appears probable-or at least
possible-that but slightly poisonous
rains, such as occur over an ordinarily
smoky city, may seriously injure fruits
and flowers. j. w. Harshberger, OF
the University of Pennsylvania, sug-
gests that the spots on leaves and
fruit caused by the acidity of rain
drops may serve as the points of
entry Of parasitic fungi. He says, IN
fungus, which is stimulated to growth
by an acid condition of the cell sap,
would find ideal conditions Tor the
commencement of growth by entering
areas influenced by acid raindrops.-
