ditions. In 1892 through the efforts Of
Senator Charles B. Farwell, Of Illinois,
Congress voted $40, 900 to test the effect
of heavy guns on rain-production. This
appropriation was made in opposition to
the advice Of the scientists in the depart
ment Of agriculture. The tests were made
in San Antonio, Texas, IN November
1892. under the direction Of General
Dyrenforth.
actual battle as nearly as possible. Shells
were fred at frequent intervals and
balloons sent up to the proper height and
exploded Historians state that In order
to omit no realistic detail, General Dyren-
forth and his assistants even wore cavalry
boots.
Under these conditions eight balloons,
$50 shells and 1000 pounds OF rosellite
were fred of. but no rain was precipi-
tated Several days later. ten balloons,
IT'S shells and s. 1000 pounds Of rosellite
were exploded, but the sky remained Sc
rene and unruffled. Thus the test con-
tinued until the appropriation was spent
without producing a single drop of rain.
The Real Reason for Rain.
In order to see that cannonading can
not possibly cause rain to fall, let US
examine natures methods for wetting the
earth.
AS our planet moves around on its
axis, the air surrounding it becomes more
heated at some points than at others. As
the air is warmed, 1t expands and rises
to the higher attitudes where II becomes
cooled and flows back again to the earth's
surface, and an area of low pressure Is
formed. Correspondingly, the air flowing
toward the earth causes an area Of high
pressure.
These areas of high and low pressure

LAST of BISON Exterminated
bv MARCH of WAR in EUROPE

European cousin, is a forestdwelling ami
. NAL Hence We may assume that the
prairie habitat represents a modification
OF the ancestral habits and environment
The main danger which attends the fu-
ture Of herds which are kept under con-
ditions other than those which are strictly
natural, is the tendency for the proper
ton of males among the offspring to in
crease to an alarming degree, at the ex-
pense of the females. To such an extent
did this prevail few years ago in some
Of the herds Of semi-domesticated bison
in the United States that, as in the case of
the herd in Bronx park, New York. every
calf was put down as a bull as a matter
Of course! The wild Caucasian bison, it
may be mentioned, have absolutely no
protection. save forest laws.
AS touching the habits of the Lithuan-
ian bison, there is little to be said, further
than that during the summer they roam
about in small herds numbering from If
teen to twenty; while during the winter
this number may be doubled by the ANAL
gamation Of two herds, probably for pro-
lection against the attacks of wolves.
when, for the same reason, they seem to
leave the recesses Of the forests in order
to go in search of higher and more ele-
waited covert.

Planes to Find
SEAL HERDS

A ERoPLANEs are to be used next year
"a in the Gulf of st. Lawrence to find
the seal herds. The failure Of this
years hunt convinced the vessel owners
that the old method Of seeking the seals
by ships can no longer be employed. ow-
ing to the diminishment of the herds.
When once the herds are found by the
aero scouts, the ships can go directly to
the hunting field, saving much time and
fuel.
The direct cause Of the lack Of success
in the past season was the unusually
heavy amount Of ice packed along the
coast by continuous inshore winds. The
sealing steamers, although within a few
miles of large herds of seals, were una
BILE to reach them The total catch was
less than $4,000 pelts, and the loss to
vessel owners from the seasons opera
tons is estimated at about s250.o00.
The Washington herald., 1915-10-24

~HIEF among the minor and incidental
losses Of the war in Europe is the
practical extinction Of the last Of the
bison. The European bison, which formed
the last link between prehistoric days and
the present, roamed in great numbers
through the enormous forests OF Lth-
uania and the Caucasus before marching
armies and screeching shells came that
way. Hungry soldiers slaughtered the
herds and stray shells killed them In great
number. Many, panic stricken, onndly
rushed to their death.
The bison of Lithuania were under the
cars protection, but war knows no AMI
NAL conservation, and the soldiers OF botn
the car and the kaiser refused to let nu-
manitarian motives stand before military
needs. 1t is hoped that few OF the mag.
nifcent animals escaped in the depths OF
the great forest of Bialowieska ana tnat
they will live to perpetuate the race lnat
once wandered all over the continent
Their bones have been found in the chalk
cliffs and caves Of England, even:
The European bison was also known as
the Wisent and the Zubre. II was larger
than its American cousin. The hnest were
found in Lithuania,. those in the Caucasus
being smaller. According to some author
tiles, these latter are of a distinct species,
but the concensus Of opinion goes to snow
that they must be regarded as represent
ing no more than a sub-species. The main
stronghold OF the Caucasian bison was IN
the district lying between the kuoan ana
the Psib.
The European bison is finer animal, In
many respects, than its descendant: the
American bison, commonly miscalied tne
Buffalo" It has longer horns and mucn
better headquarters. A full.grown ouli
may stand well over six feet high at the
withers, whereas the American species
attains to no more than five feet nine
inches. Both the old world and the new
world species are distinguishable at
glance by the enormous height at inc
withers, and the luxuriant growth OF nair
on the head, neck, and forelimbs. In TINS
matter Of hAiriness they are rivaled only
by the nearly related Yak, but IN this anl'
NAL the hair hangs like great screen
from the tanks 80 as to conceal the less'
while the tail forms an enormous orush
instead of being merely tufted.
In the matter of haunts, the european
and American bison display some Striking
differences, which, so far, have never oeen
explained. The European animal is tor.
est-dweller, feeding upon the leaves OF
trees, which are stripped of as high as
can be reached, and upon the bark; wnlie
young trees are either broken down or up

The American animal, however, is, or

ttrely upon grass. In its Canadian haunts'

Rain IS NOT PRODUCED by CANNONADINGs One Of NATURES Most

pressure-areas in which the air is rising
and carrying with 1t water yapor. When
this water vapor reaches the higher alti-
tudes, 1t is cooled, and the moisture is
deposited on infinitely small dust par

laden with condensed moisture and fall

vastness of Natures Operations.
Although these natural processes are
performed daily, they are as yet beyond
all human control. Nature works on such
a stupendous scale that the greatest
efforts of mankind seem Insignificant in
comparison. In order to regulate the
air currents, It would be necessary to
supply heat and cold to the air in vast
Quantities 1t is estimated that to pro-
duce a quarter OF an inch OF rainfall over
an area Of one square mile, 1t would be
necessary to remose an amount of heat
from the air sufficient to raise the tenn
perature Of $50, 900 tons of water from
freezing to the boiling point. 1t would
be possible to produce rainfall by build
Ing q mountain TduBC oChcLoA AASA
and several hundred miles long which
would defect the warm air currents to
higher attitudes. However, when one
considers that the cost OF such an arti1-
ctal mountain range would exceed the
total amount of wealth on the EARTH 1t
is not likely to be built in the near
future.
The Final Objection.
The result of the Texas experiments
and the explanation of the natural causes
of rainfall would be sufficient proof to
the great majority of thinking people
that cannonading can have no effect on
rain production. However, suppose for
a moment that Europe's giant cannon
couId cause certain atmospheric dis
turbances. No rainfall would result in
this country, for there are no air currents
whatever moving from east TO west be-
tween Europe and the United States.

responsible for weather disturbances
The unusual amount of wet weather
throughout the United States during the
past summer has led to much discussion
as to whether or not the unreasonable
rainfall was due to conclusion Of Europe's
enormous modern cannon.
Why Rain Often Follows Battles.
To make rain by conclusion of high
explosives is one of the most widely
accepted fallacies of the present day.
Numerous instances where rainfall has
followed battles are given by c. E.
Powers, civil engineer, in THE War and
the Weather" published in 1871. The
fact that storms have followed closely on
bombardments may be accounted for in
a very simple way. The territory on
which these battles took place has rain
about every third day. Now, as rule
important engagements are not started
in the rain. They are not usually begun
until a day after the rain. Why then,
should it be unusual that rain should
follow within a days time?
A hundred years ago an English
physicist, John Aitkin, discovered that
when the side of a vessel containing
saturated air was struck sharply. mois-
ture was deposited in the form OF rain.
He therefore concluded that IL the air
above the earth was subjected to violent
conclusions, rain would result. In this
he seemed to substantiate the world-old
theory that rain could be shaken from
the clouds However, 1t was later demon
strated by another experimenter that
conclusion alone is not sufficient to pro-
duce precipitation.
Uncle Sam as q Rainmaker.

to the world indisputably that cannon
aiding can have no effect on weather con-

PanCreatitis Is
No New MaIady

HANCREATITIs regarding which
there has been considerable dis
cussion lately in medical publica-
tons and even in the lay press, is not a
new disease. Scientists have not dis
covered a new i'll to which the flesh is
heir. On the contrary. pancreatitis has
been long and unfavorably known to the
medical profession.
However, new treatments have recently
been brought to the attention Of physi-
clans and this explains the publicity be-
Ing received by the rather rare disease.
Pancreatitis. as the name implies, is in
flammation Of the pancreas. that useful
little organ attached to the intestine.
Professor Fitz, of Harvard university.
who first called the worlds attention to
the seriousness of appendicitis, did the
same thing for pancreatitis about the
same time. But recent medical dis
coveries have enabled physicians to COM
bat more successfully what hitherto was
rare and battling affliction Of man.

In these tests the effects Of arsenate OF
caIcium both alone and combined with
ume-sulphur solution, were tested IN COM
harrison with arsenate of lead alone and
in combination with limesulphur. Inc
arsenate Of calcium. as was the arsenate
of lead, was used at the rate OF two pounds
to each fifty gallons of water. In all the
expertments the arsenate Of calcium gave
very satisfactory results in killing the
larvae without burning the foliage.
In a number of cases its killing action
was somewhat slower than. but compared
favorably with, the arsenate OF lead.
Since il can be produced more cheaply
than the lead arsenate, 1t would appear
TO have distinct value, although II has not
been sufficiently tested to permit recon-
mending 1t unreservedly for general use.
Where arsenate Of calcium was combined
with Hme-sulphur 1t was, as rule, even
more effective as a poisoning agent than
when used alone and did not lessen the
value of the latter as fungfcide.
When these compounds are combined,
the amount of foliage consumed by the
larvae is less than where the arsenate Of
calcium is used alone. In tests in 1914
commercial arsenate Of calcium (paste).
arsenic oxid 1882 per cent. with lime
sulphur solution, gave very excellent con-
troll OF the cooling moth in comparison
with arsenate of lead and with unsprayed

used. 1878 per cent Of the apples were
sound: arsenate Of lead showed 1914 per
cent Of sound apples, while in the I'M
sprayed test plats only 5s.71 per cent of
the apples were free from damage.

In the thirty-seven hospitals, conva-
lescent homes and asylum homes for
crippled children in the United States

the estimated number of crippled chill
dren In the country. OF course, a very
small percentage Of the crippled young
sters happen to belong to families
wealthy enough to permit of proper pri-
vate treatment, but even discounting this
small number, it will be seen that the
