RAINMAKING AGAIN.

The University Of New York gives out the in
formation that pr. D.. w. Herring, emeritus, pro-
fessor Of physics in that institution, believes that
when the early American Indians fired the prairies
in time of d%routhtin the hope Of producing rain they
were carrying out one of the principles of artificial
rainmaking that science now looks upon with favor
Perhaps, the fact that the scientist who is credit
ed with this opinion is an emeritus professor has
some significance, as an emeritus professor is apt
to have a good deal of time on his hands, and it is
not necessary for him to keep closely in touch with
modern thought. T., I
The early Indians followed practices both use
full and useless in the prosecution of such industries
as they followed. The coast indians planted fish
with their corn. The fish were regarded as guard
ians of the corn. The theory was wrong, but the
results were excellent, The decaying>ti fish fortified
the ground and helped the crop along. The In
dams followed another practice the utility of which
is not so apparent. AS a part of the religious cere-
monies of the planting season it was customary
among some tribes for AN Indian maiden on a dark
night to make the circuit of the corn1elds, trailing
one of her garments behind her. Doubtless when
a good crop followed it was credited in part to this
ceremony, while, if the crop failed, it would be held
that the ceremony had been imperfectly performed.
Scientific men have devoted not a little study to
the possibility of producing rain arti6cially, and we
believe that the results thus far have all been mega
tive. Sometimes rain has followed the experiments,
and sometimes it has not, but i'll no case is there sat
isfactory evidence that rain has been due to the ex-
perlments, nor is there any reason to believe that the
experiments have had anything to do with results.
Using the prairie fire plan as an illustration, we
have certain facts to bear in mind. In a country
where rain falls at all it must fall sometime at the
end OF a dry season. If a drouth is long enough to
cause alarm. and to induce people to attempt arti-
fetal rain making, it must have continued some time.
In all probability it has nearly run its course, and if
one sets the prairie on fire, or sits down and twid-
dies his thumbs, or does anything else, presently it
will rain. If one is in the right frame of mind he will
conclude that his efforts, whatever they have been,
are successful.
The speculations of the New York professor
emeritus are not likely to do any particular harm.
That may induce a few people to patronize profess
sional lawmakers, but people who will do that are
bound to spend their money foolishly, anyway, and
"rainmaking," at any rate is harmless.

FRUIT AND EVOLUTION.

# In a discussion of evolution an eastern writer
offers the theory that the development of the quail
ties which diferentiate man from the lower orders
of creation is due very largely to the influence of a
fruit diet. He believes that it was in the search of
fruits that mans ancestors learned to walk erect
that it was in the gathering of fruits that the marvel
44ous thumb was developed; and that it was while
sNdigesting fruits and the eggs which he found while
climbing that man developed the qualities which
made him a reasoning being. He believes further
that adherencexto a fruit diet will send man to yet
further heights, physical and mental.
s@&s 1t may be so. The gentleman reasons plausi-
Yet the captious might point out that certain
species Of animals find it advantageous to hang BY
their tails while gathering fruits. and that these
saniimals have thumbs on their feet as we'll as on their
hands, both Of which characteristics man has drop
led, if he ever had them. While the value of fruit
foods IS unquestioned, modern man will scarcely be
influenced BY them as this writer supposes his am
scestors to have been, as the exercise of picking an
sspple of a tree differs rather decidedly from that of
sfaskiinng one from a box.

Obviously a state in which such a thing could
be discovered is no proper state for a man like Mr..
Bryan. Let us hope that in the state which, he has
)chosen as his new home, if any inquisitive scientist
stumbles on a relic which might tend to shock Mr..
Bryan's sense of the propreties--it would beimpos-
[sible to disturb his faith-the discoverer will give
the thing a decent burial. and observe a discreet
silence. Surely Mr.. Bryan's services are great
enough to entitle him to this consideration.
