GUNFiRE AND PRECIPITATION

A British newspaper points out that
the weather in northern France during
and following the heaviest artillery
rlns, CT the summer was fine, thus
showing that the alleged relation bet
wean gun firing and precipitation does
net rest on foundation OF fact. Even
the stupcndoas roar of the explosion
caused by The greatest mining feat in
history, the destruction of the Mes
sines, added to the thunder of thous-
apds OF Guns firing necessarily, failed
10 produce any rain, according to the
newspaper referred to. For weeks the
cannonade was maintained at its max
inum violence, the roar of the guns
reaching London and beyond without
causing rainfall A great many .peo-
PIE in England believed that. the
heavy and persistent rains during the
SIMMER were caused by the gunfire
IN France and Belgium. Their belief
seems TO have been fallacious. Many
people in Canada expressed the opin-
ion last summer that the guns in Eur
ope had bad influence on the weather
here. The belief that the concussion
c. heavy explosions brought rain is
old. In times of drought rainmakers
have frequently attempted to produce
rain in this way. An American news
paper early in the war printed an arti
Gle ascriEing to the Germans the pow
er Of upsetting the British offensive
by producing transforms at will. Thu
fact is that rain is produced in natures
laboratory by gentle and soundless
process OF distillation adm not by the
carths shaking noises.-Vancouvel

PLAN TO STABILIZE WAGES

The department of labor and the
United States shipping board are at

by wages will be regulated to compen-
safe for the increased cost of living.
This plan IS accepted by some Brit
ish manufacturers, especially in the
textile industries. In Lancaster and
other cities in England an agreement
has been effected by employers and
the workers whereby wages are made
to fluctuate in accordance with figures
on the cost CT living prepared by the
British board of trade. About 10000
workers are included in these agree
nents, which cover all classes of tex
tile workers except mechanics and
