ELECTRICITY The Lotest A^ditic Scie Sum?a WASHINGTON, I> C. March 10. Thc phenomena of the earth's rotation, of rain storms, cyclones, water spouts, thunder ami lightning arc being arti ficially reproduced in the course of some remarkable experiments at the Klmer (Jatos Laboratory, at Chevy Chase, near this city. Prof. < J ates, the famous physicist, who directs this fascinating work shop, has long been conducting elaborate researches look ing to the solution of these enigmas of nature. As a result of this labor he has deduced some surprising the ories which, in thc opinion of many learned men, will effect a complete rev olution in present methods of weather forecasting. Your correspondent, a day or two, was granted the first newspaper inter view concerning these important dis coveries, and was requested to state that mauy were made with thc assist ance of the late II. A. Ilazcn, pro fessor of meteorology at the Uni ted States Weather Bureau, whose death occurred only a few weeks ago, just as the work was drawing to a close. TIIK KARLY K Xl? KUI M KS TS of thc two investigators wore made for thc purpose of ascertaining nature's method of rain-making. Thc most widely-accepted theory hitherto offer ed in explanation of this process as sumes that when moist air is carried from one region above thc earth to an other, which is colder, it undergoes condensation and vice versa. Prof. ( i ates and Prof. Ilazcn both doubted that heat and moisture were the sole factors concerned in ?torin production. Prof. Gates had long believed that electricity played thc most important role in weather-making and ho set about to convince his co-laborator that he was correct. In the initial experiment a large, fluffy mass of fleece cotton was sus pended from the ceiling of the labora tory by a dry silk thread and was electrically charged by one pole of a powerful static machine. The other pole was connected with a similar mass of cotton. As thc two tufts were being charged they grew percep tibly larger, Brought, nearer, they be came smaller. When sufficiently near or sufficiently charged for a spark to pass betwecu them, as a lightning flash passes between two clouds, they twitched at thc moment of discharge. The two tufts were afterward .filled with smoke puffed into them through a tube. Some of this smoke was ejected by each at the moment a spark passed. When a certain dis tance apart, the smoke would leave ono of the masses and proceed in a straight line to the other. Thus thc electricity actually carried the vapor from ono to the other. Then steam was injeoted into one tuft and some of its moisture was similarly conveyed to the interior of the other, as proved by an instrument for measuring hu midity. It was noticed that although one piece of cotton would increase in volume when first jbarged with elec tricity, it would begin to shrink as soon as it induced an opposite charge in some adjacent mass of mat ter. A volume of moisture-saturated air was next enclcf cd in a rubber toy bal loon, suspended by a string. Thc bal loon swelled when highly charged, but shrunk when in thc presence of a body charged with opposite electricity. When a succession of sparks passed into thc balloon it appeared to take a sudden expiration, then an inspiration immediately afterward. These and otherexperiments proved to the satisfaction of the two investi gators that electrical conditions are ca pable of increasing and diminishing thc density of thc air. IN A LAT KR EXPERIMENT a moist current of air was charged with negative electricity ns it entered the laboratory through an open window. A similar current, from another source, was charged with positive electricity. At a distance between the two inlets and where ?be two currents mingled a mist was reen to form. It was ibis successful attempt at rain making indoors which is believed to have solved '.he problem as to how Dame Nav'iro herself aggregates the moisture of the air into mists, rain or snow. THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION. To attempt to translate Prof. Gates' technical statement, the fact] that bodies charged with tho same kind of eleotrioity-either positive or ?negativo -repel each other, bas discouraged \ nietcorologistslfronvbelioving'that the moisture particles in any ono body of Bimiiarly electrified air could* bc made /to come together and collect in the form of>rain drops of appreciable jsi/.e. If the surrounding;air was appositive or all negative, these minute'particles ^TT^^^^orcpiD^edo^d^^^apwL^flni RUNS WORLD. )ii to the Marvels ol' ?nee. 7/ Xt irs. would two pith balls charged with thc same kind of electricity. It is a well known law of physics that a pith ball or any other object charged with neg ative electricity, will, on thc contrary, bc attracted by another charged with positive electricity. Hence, before they can believe that electricity caus es thc moisture particles to aggregate and form droplets heavy enough to fall, these old-school meteorologists must be convinced that thc including region of atmosphere is charged with both positive and negative electricity at the same time. Hut, according to Prof. <?ates, if one locality, or cloud, acquires a charge of electricity, sonic adjacent locality orcloud must acquire a charge of opposite electricity. Mid ! way between these two oppositely charged clouds, or regions of moist I air, there must bc one or more sccond ? ary regions where their respective par ticles commingle. Those of one being j positive and those of the other being ! negative, they attract, cohere and form rain drops. One region may bc a cloud, or vapor-charged air mass, and the other may be another cloud, or thc earth. When disturbances of thc electric equilibrium of thc atmos phere occur diffciCL ns in density, pressure, temperature and moisture ? result. AN EXPERIMENTAL CYCLONE. Returning to thc cotton tufts, it was discovered that when one was charged with positive, the other with negative electricity, and thc former on ly was saturated with Bmoke, injected into its centre, the smoke escaped to ward the opposite tuft and assumed a conical, cloud-like shape, its particles traveling across thc intervening space in the form of a water spout. This was repeated many times, and led Prof. <I ates to believe that under vastly more powerful charges of the earth's surface currents of air might be car ried from sharp poaks and points up ward into thc air, or that when such a discharge takes place downward it may carry tho upper current down to the lower, thus producing the funnel shaped appearance of the cyclone clouds. By connecting ouc terminal of his static machine with the bottom of a saucer of water, pierced by a wire, and by causing thc other terminal to ap proach thc top of the water, Prof. Gates produced a miniature water spout. As soon as the water touched the upper terminal it was thrown lat erally outward io a shower of drops. In a later RAIN MAKING EXPERIMENT thc professor placed his static ma chino midway between two windows of his laboratory, while a moisture-laden breeze was blowing through tho room. He suspended a mass of cotton from tho ceiling by a pieco of dry silk. On thc floor below ho placed masses of different substances having ground connections. Ho charged/ tho cotton -serving as a cloud-with positive electricity and mist was seen to form about midway between it and the low conductor-serving as the earth which wu? soon covered with moisture particles. This proved to him that the moisture particles nob only aggre gated into droplets, as a result of the process explained above, but that there was an electric translation of the moisture from thc cotton cloud to the floor. When asked how a complete thun der storm might bo produced by such artifice, Prof. Gates replied that this was done by maintaining a layer of moist air in thc top of a room and by charging this to a potential different from that of tho floor below. If charged to a sufficient height und with sufficient quicknese there would result a sudden flash and discharge, ac companied by a fall of rain upon tho floor. Additioual experiments to which Prof. Gates gives particular weight, were made in closer colaboration with Prof. Ilazon. Their object was to provo moro satisfactorily that when two aerial localities are charged with opposite oleotricities there is a more rapid diffusion of moisture from one to the other than when they aro not elec trically oharged. They employed an oblong glass box with wooden ends, J into each of which was fixed a multi plicity o' copper wires with points protruding inward. The apparatus was placed upon an insulated stool in front of a static machine haviug a power of 450,000 volts and capable of producing sparks eighteen inches long. Tho box was partitioned into halves by a sheet of porous paper. One-half was filled with dry, and tho other with wot, air. The wire points at tho dry end were charged ?with pos itive, thoso at the moist with nega tive, electricity. While it ordinarily required from six to twelvo hours for the 'moisture to escapo through itself equally through thc cu tir? box, the charging of the two ends caused a transference of the mosturc from thc moist to the dry end to take placo in from eight to ten minutes. Thc moisture wa? electrically carried from thc negative to thc positive pole. When thc whole box was equally Glied with moisture it was discovered tbat more collected in thc air sur rounding the negative pole. Thus it was ascertained that au electric charge in thc air will unequally distribute thc moisture already present and perhaps uniform. Describing some remarkable experi ments in which he electrically repro duced THE KAUTII*S ROTATION i Prof. Gates went on to say that he took a shellacked paper globe and held itnear thc knob of his static machine uotil it became attracted. Fastening it to thc ceiling and floor by threads, and allowing thc sunlight to fall on one half, he found that thc dark half was constantly drawn to thc knob and made to revolve. Ile similarly mount ed upon an axle a soft iron disk and placed at one side, near its outcredge, a magnet exerting a steady pull. A lamp was placed under thc disk so as to heat its lower portion. The disk revolved. Its revolution was due to tho fact that thc lower or heated por tion was less attracted than tho upper or cool portion, inasmuch as heat di minishes magnetism. Thc cooler por tion was, therefore, drawn around by force of attraction until it became heated in its turn and thc part form erly heated had become cooled. Thc rotation was thus manipulated. Explaining thc . ignificancc of these two experiments, Prof. Gates remark ed: "Researches of Prof. Bigelow, of the weather bureau, showing varia tions in thc earth's magnetic field, and hi? other studies relating lo solar magnetism, clearly prove the existence of an interplanetary magnetic held. Accepting that proof, I have discov ered thc cause of thc earth's rotation and of its atmospheric electricity. Thc earth is a magnet, one-half of which is cooler than the other. The sun, also being a magnet, pulls thc cooler side of thc earth more than the warmer side and thus rotates the earth. The morning side of thc earth when it rises toward the sun is cooler and more drawn to the sun than the evening side just disappearing. The latter, having been subjected all day to the sun, is warm and not so much attracted. Hence thc rotation in the very direction in which we know the earth to revolve. A body immersed in a static field, with sunlight falling on one-half of it, revolves. Thc earth ia ",.~i. . :fl _ o?..*:? <:..i.i . i. uuuu t? Mui?jr uiiu go i LI ti oin'j.u ui.tv. . Lord Kelvin proved that a static body is revolved by a magnetic field. The earth is such a body and is in such a field, if Prof. Bigelow be right, which 1 believe he is. Wheu an insulated body is revolved in a magnetic field it generates electricity in itself, as proved by dynamos. Thc earth is such a body and is revolving in a mag netic field. I claim this to be one source of the earth's atmospheric electricity* I revolved a magnetic body in a static field and it generated a current in the magnetic body. The earth is a magnet and it revolves in a static field, and must have a current generated in itself. A comparison of the size of tho small magno tic body which I employed and the strength of its field with the size of thc earth and thc strength of the field in which the latter revolves sui???ierjl?y ?C?O?uIn for the oenormous electricity of storms." When asked if he anticipated that his discoveries would effect a complete revolution in weather forecasting, Prof. Gate9 said: "When tho weather bureau can make extended electrosta tic observations, simultaneously, over widely distributed areas and can de termine times of high and low electro static potentials, it can readily predict times of low and high barometer. I feel quite sure that astronomic calcu lations will also, sooner or later, enable us to prcdiet the times and places of electrostatic and magnetic changes. Thc wisc meteorologist will then no longer ignore these factors. I do not allude to astrological divinations, hut to measurable physical conditions." JOHN ELFRETII WATKINS, .lu.

The Spaniards are swarthy as a race, but thc purcet-blooded Oastilians frequently show traces of their Visi goths blood by blue eyes and red hair. Thc Infanta Eulalie, who visited this country in 1893, was red-headed. Red-headed Italians arc fairly nu merous in Italy. They are most numerous in thc northern provinces, where there is the greatest infusion of German blood. And there is no girl in thc world prettier than a red-headed Italian or Spaniard, except it be a redheaded American. In Ireland a red-headed girl is made miserable by being called a "Dane." This epithet is a legacy of a thousand years or more-from thc time when the Danes did override the coasts of Britain. Io a similar manner the Norsemen, who invaded Sicily centuries ago and intermarried with thc inhabitants, left descendants with gleaming brain thatches. The Turks are a light-haired, blue eyed race and their children arc every where scattered about Asia and north ern Africa.
