He MADE IT RAIN
Emporia Professor Got Sprinkle
by Artificial Means.
But Proves 1t Would Be Costly
to Get Real Rain.

Emporia, Kan. Aug. 13.-Threat-
ened droughts turnout Kansas last
month brought propositions % @any
communities from individuals and
corporations representing themselves
as rain makers" They offered to
enter into contracts to produce rain
at any desired place, some of the
propositions including more or less of
a guarantee that il they didn't sue
coed, they would receive no pay.
Consequently a number of inquiries
have been received at the Kansas
State Normal school here from thru
out the state. as to whether credence
could be placed in such propositions.
Professors in the Normal school de-
partment of chemistry assert that
rain making is a scientific POSSIBLE
ity. They point to the experiment
conducted from the roof of the Nor
NAL school here. some twenty-five
years ago by Prof. T. H. Dinsmore.
head of the department of chemistry
at that time
Professor Dinsmore arranged a
balloon-like affair that he sent into
the faculty who witnessed the Dins-
more experiment. ITO this was at
tached little rubber tube which was
connected with an ammonia gas gene
rator on the building. The gas escaping
into the air tended to condense the
came heavy enough to precipitate in
the form of rain. Some rain actually
was produced. The experiment OF
course was on a small scale. 1t was
handicapped by shifting of the wind
which tended to dispense the rain
cloud thus formed. OF course, to de-
velop enough rain clouds to water any
considerable area would necessitate
an undertaking on a huge scale.
Some rain makers advocate explo-
sion of bombs to form condensation
of the atmosphere, and ultimately.
rain.
While a month ago rain makers"
might have found Kansas, or at least
the central third of the state, an ex-
tremely fertile field for development
of their prowess, all prospects have
been dissipated by old J. Pluvius in
the last few weeks. For several weeks
Emporia was exp e ing
drought; city officials proclaimed that
the city water supply was threatened
and Emporias far-famed four-inch
bath edict was issued; the corn crop
was declared to be burning up. But
rain came and negotiations with rain
makers were called off by the city
fathers.
