ALL ABOUT rain
BY a Man Who Evidently Has
Studied the Subject.
Some Few Facts May Have Been Over
looked, But in General II VIII Be
Found Pretty Comprehensive.

| RAIN" said the man who presldes
over the fortunes of the all-night
lunch room, sis a phenomenon familiar
to all of us from our early years.
! Scientists tell us that rain is the mois-
| ture which makes the clouds before 1t
| is condensed into rain drops by COM
| Ing into contact with colder air cur
rents, and that is very interesting.
There are certain other interesting
| facts connected with rain. l have
spent much time in collecting them.
Rain can be confidently expected to
| fall on the Fourth of July, on the 18th
of March, on the dates of weddings,
open-air prize fights, and inaugurations
Of the Presidents when it sometimes
appears frozen and Is then called
snow. 1t can be looked for with as
surance on other occasions too nu-
merous to mention and 1t comes fire.
quently in defiance of all known rules.
There are certain cities in this
country which support n game called
BASEBALL he continued I'm these
cities rain is famous principally be-
cause it produces what are known as
double-headers, an arrangement much
in favor among certain admirers OF the
sport.
I'm the days before children were
deprived of the pleasure of risking
their lives with firew orks in celebra-
ton of the signing of the Declaration
of Independence each Fourth OF July,
rain was hailed with delight on that
anniversary by certain nervous men
and women. 1t exerted dampening
influence on the dangers Of the day,
tended to reduce the noise of the oc-
casion and made 1t almost impossible
to set roofs on fire with skyrockets
and powder crackers.
But today almost the only persons
who welcome rain are the husbands
and fathers of the land, who seek
excuses for accompanying their wives
and children to places Of so-called
amusement and who, by some strange
superstition, regard holiday as
period In which to rest. Rain is es-
peclally unwelc0me on days like the
Fourth of July to the people whose
profits depend on the assembling Of
thousands of patriotic celebrators in
the open air.
aside from holidays, rain is deemed
valuable stock In trade by farmers,
gardeners, the manufacturers OF rub
bers, raincoats and umbrellas. House
wives usually object to il, because in
ali the centuries of civilization the
male members of families have never
learned the real use of the mat at the
front door with Welcome written
on it.
"Rain is sometimes, but not often,
useful as an inspiration to poets, adj
vertisement illustrators and people
with bad tempers. The last class often
wakes really eloquent when the gentle
drops fall from the clouds.
"He told me that he had just been
presented with something from over
the border that rendered him immune
to the Ills attendant upon rain, called
me a Grass materialist and went out,
thinking Of violets, l guess, because
he forgot to pay for his coffee. -
