conclusion which disturbed the air and created
new currents in the atmosphere, thus causing
rain. Said Powers in his book "War and
Weather"
"When cannonading brings rain different
force from heat is brought into action, and this
force is conclusion. It acts in different way
from heat and its action is more certain and
effective. | have advanced and emphasized the
idea that the greater portion of the rains that
fall within the United States are drawn from
vapor that comes from the Pacific Ocean.
reliable authority has estimated that enough
water evaporates from the ocean in single
wear to depress its whole surface eight or ten
feet if none went back; while by some the
amount is estimated to be even greater than
this Some of this vaporized water falls back
as rain directly into the ocean--the rest is car
ried in great air currents over the continents,
where it is precipitated as rain or snow, and
runs back by the rivers again to the ocean.
Some of it may be long in thus returning.
Portions of it may be many times evaporated
from the earth, and many times fall as dew, or,
after evaporation, rise to a high elevation, and
be drawn with portions of the lower air into
the vortex caused by mingling air currents,
and be condensed and fall again rain; but
in time it must all go back to the sea, while
constantly from the sea comes more vapor to
keep up the supply The vapor bear
ing current that supplies moisture to the
United States is vast in extent and covers the
whole country It receives its force and mo-
ton from the southeast trade wind of the
Pacific Ocean and is in effect, a continuation
Of that wind, being composed of the same air
as that which, as a trade wind, was waited
two thousand miles over the southern seas.
The vapor which it bears along comes prin-
cipally from that portion Of the ocean which
lies within the tropics. 1t is probable that the
air containing this vapor is very warm and
very fully saturated with it. 1t is
probable that there is everywhere and always
"A stratum sufficiently saturated TO produce
rain; except, perhaps at such time as it may
be parted or broken by waves of colder air.
This warm current from the tropics is called
the equatorial current.
"Above the equatorial current there is cold
current called the polar current flowing in
nearly the opposite direction. 1t was
first trade wind then an equatorial current,
and lastly polar current. 1t has travelled
many thousand miles since it left the equator
and has taken part in many storms; first as
lower current and then as an upper current.
It has travelled around one of the poles of the
earth, and is now returning to again form
part of one of the trade winds and go through
the same round as before. During every

average person there is romance in
riding habit. Equestrianism has be-
come almost as exclusive a pastime of
the very wealthy as polo. In New York
the crop and riding habit are the badges

and during the naval actions attending the
caDture of Fort Macon, the battle in Hampton
Roads in which the United States ships Con-
press and Cumberland were destroyed by the
Merrimac. the naval engagement near Vicks-
burg. and other naval battles. And there are
scores of letters from army men from all parts
of the country who testify that transforms
almost invariably followed great battles.
So. leaving the Weather Man for few mo
ments, suppose we follow this theory OF
weather and war along the lines which old
army men so implicitly believe in.
The strongest advocate that war was the
cause of bad weather was Edward Powers,
who began agitating the question in 1870, for
the purpose of securing the passage of bill
bv Congress to experiment in creating artihclai
rain to relieve the Western farmers during
long periods of drouths He published
book in Chicago in 1871 advancing the theory
of war and weather, but the edition was en-
tirely destroyed. He again published his book
in 1890 and interested United States Senator
Charles B. Farwel Of Chicago, to such an
extent in the project that a bill appropriating
$4,000 for experimental purposes was passed.
Powers had considerable meteorological
knowledge and made long and patient study
of war and weather. What probably led him
and others who to-day believe that heavy can
nonading is the cause Of rains and storms to
believe in this theory is the scientific fact that
the manner in which good and bad seasons
occur in different places in respect to each
other clearly shows that they have scarcely any
immediate dependence on any of the heavenly
bodies, but directly depend on terrestrial
causes.
Powers and his followers ask then: If the
cause of storms is not due TO the heavenly
bodies. what forces on the earth bring them
about?
And, in reply, the scientists answer: Those
rays of the sun which fall on the land are en-
tirely absorbed by the thin surface layer. the
temperature of which rises, and thus wave
of heat is propagated downward through the
soil, but lessons rapidly and cannot be measur-
able below a depth of four feet. Part of this
heat is conveyed into the atmosphere upward
and converted into currents. In regard to the
ocean. however, the case is entirely different,
for there little of the suns heat is arrested,
but penetrates to depth of something like 800
feet. While deep waters are only slightly
heated. the shallow waters have a considerable
range Of temperature.
Now, Powers did not believe that it was the
heat produced from continuous firing of cannon
during battle that made it rain, as he did
