The remarkable deficiency of rainfall in this region during 1893 has caused much apprehension here, lest nature, in the effort to restore the average, should give us an ex cessive rainfall in the near future, causing destructive floods. While in the long run nature maintains nearly the same average rainfall for a series of years, there is no certainty that she will accomplish that result in a few months, or even within a year or five years. As it is a matter of special interest to this community, Mr. W. M. Towers, who represents the weather bureau at Rome wrote to Mr. Park Morrill, director of the weather service for Georgia, re questing his opinion upon the sub ject. Mr. Mo. rill’s reply which has been handed to us, is so full of in formation and interest that we print it in full, commending it to the careful attention of our readers. This letter shows that nature un locks her secrets only to the most diligent and most loyal of her sub jects, taking them into her confidence after long and patient tutelage at her feet. The investigations of Prof. Bruck ner reveal the periodicity of exces sively dw eras over the whole earth, recurring about every thirty-five years. This indicates some extra ordinary cosmic influence operating upon our planet, or perhaps upon the whole solar system at remote inter vals. A study of history at such intervals might be interesting. The past year has been a remarkable one in almost every aspect. The unusual has been the rule. Normal condi tions in the weather, in crops, in the mental status of man, have been altogether overthrown. Both man and nature have been perturbed and violent, and it is not straining an influence to suppose that the per turbation of nature has had its in fluence in the restlessness of man. While we have had drouth and storm in frequent succession, with devastation of our coasts, we have had frequent uprising and ferment among the people of all lands, and the financial world has been through an upheaval such as no man living has ever seen paralleled. Looking back from 1893 to 1858, we strike close upon another panic, and in the midst of an era of extra ordinary political excitement. This may be a mere coincidence, but at least it is an interesting one. Some thing has been said about the in fluence of the Sun spots, which are visible about every eleven years, and of the meteoric showers, which have been observed about every 33 years, all going to show that our elements are affected by causes that come in cycles larger than Long eras of quiet and prosperity are followed by periods of storm and stress for man and nature. Upon all of these we know little, but grad ually nature seems to be revealing herself. The inability of the government to give a fictitious value, even, to an ordinary product is well illustrated in the effort to hold up the price of silver. In the face of purchases equaling the entire products of the silver mines of the country, less the amount used in the arts and manu facture, silver declined from an average of 47 5-16 d. in January, 1891, to an average of 43 3-4 d. in December, 1891; to an average of 38 3-8 in December, 1892, and to an average of 32d. in December, 1893. And as evidence that the immense purchases of the Government had little to do with maintaining the price at all, the figures show that in November last, after these purchases had ceased, the average price of sil- ver was 32 1-4 penc? per oance, as I against 33 5-8 in October when the purchases were in force. So it ap pears that the buying of silver at the rate of 54,000,000 ounces an nually did not add three cents an ounce to its value. —Exchange.
