GUNFIRE AND RAIN THEORY.


well. dad. you used TO argue that

heavy rains. I've noticed over here
that the biggest rains fall before the
cannonading begins" writes a sold
Ter boy in France t. his father in
Illinois.
What this soldier has observed sus~
tains the argument Of the well-known
scientist, Alexander McAdie, who
say sthat the heavy firing Of big guns
does not cause rain. lie further
saws:
"The dates OF the heaviest firing
have not been accompanied nor fol-
lowed by unusual rains either in the
zone Of fire or within moderate dis
tance. The rains seem 10 have come
and gone without regard to the fir
ing. Naturally one viii associate any
stormy weather occurring near the
date Of a battle, but may easily
overlook that in some cases rain
begins before the battle. Or again.
rain falling within two or three days
Of battle is attributed 20 the bat
tie, when in fact the rain area can
be traced far to the west several days
In advance.
"a notable instance Of this con-
fusion Of event and cause Is the bat
tie Of Gettysburg, often quoted as
directly causing rain. The first 3
days were clear, while rain fell ON
the fourth day or after the battle
was over. A slight study of wealth
re sequences in that locality will
show that such sequence is entire
~ normal In the past three years
there has been unusual opportunity
by explosions in munition plants and
depots to study the Confessional the
ory Of rain making, and evidence
adverse to the theory steadily ae-
cumulates.
"A close watch has been kept on
some other problems. such as the
audibility Of gun-firo and the aber-
ration Of the sound with different at
mospheric conditions. A cloudy sky,
for example, appears 10 be more fav-
orable for the travel Of sound than
a clear sky. Along the coast Of
England the sound Of the guns in
France can be heard distinctly when
light northeriy winds are blowing.
although one would suspect the op-
posite. IL seems that at such times
there are south winds higher up in
the air and the sound waves are
reflected downward. Such a revers-
al Of air currents Is found as rule
In advance Of rain.
Under such conditions when dis
tant gun-hre is heard and is followed
IN short time by rain, the hearer
naturally connects the rain with the
gun-hre. IL is a juxtaposition Of the
AIR streams and not the eoncussion
that results In rain" Evansville
