Suggests Possibility of
Controlling the Weather
Plan of Distinguished Physicist
in Address to Institute of
Electrical Engineers.
London.— Sir Oliver I/Odge, distin
guished physicist, suggested to the
Institute of Electrical Engineers today
the possibility of obtaining some mea
sure of control over the weather. If
clearing weather, he said, was due to
electricity, It might be Imagined that
man could acquire tome control nyc
the electrification of the atmosphere
If It wua desired to produce rain
why not send up a kite to reach the
cloud*? He believes that If enough
electricity were dlach Tged Into the
clouds the drops would behave there
n* they did In the laboratory; they
would coalesce and. once that had
happened, the process might be re
poated and cause a shower.
When ruin was wanted the lecturer
said, negative electricity should he
sent up and If fine weather was want
ed positive electricity.

bors committee of congress on last
Friday and urged an appropriation for
the levee to be pelii(led In the rivers
and harbors bill which that committee
will report to the House of Represen
tatives.
"Mr. Hardwick hsd arranged an ap
pointment far u* at 11 o’clock last Fri
day," said Mr. Goodwin, "and prompt
ly at that hour we appeared. Thera
was ih full meeting of the committee
and we were listened to with strict
attention, given all of he time we

the members and a considerable num

Mr. Hardwick made the first speech
und for about 30 minutes he explained
the situation to the committeemen. Ho
said that last year he put the com
mittee on notice when the $6,00Q.000
appropriation for Mississippi levees
was recommended, that this year, ha
would Insist on his district also being
looked after In the matter of levee
appropriation and he Informed the
committee that unless on appropria
tion was recommended he would fight
the matter out on the floor of the
house. In ankwer the statement of
Chairman Sparkman that the Mis
sissippi river appropriation was for
the purpose of aiding navigation, Mr.
Hardwick reminded hi mth&t a rose
called by any other name Is Just as
sweet. Intimating, of course, that the
'aid to navigation’ was Just an ex
cuse.
Hardwick and Wingfitid Spok# Ably.
Mr Hardwick made an excellent
speech and a splendid Impression. Mr
Wingfield, who followed him, also sc
quitted himself In a most admirable
manner Mr. Wingfield explained to
(he committee that Augusta had to
take care of rainfall that fell In por
tions of four states and that it was
not right for this pity to bear the
burden for water that falls In North
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and
South Carolina.
"Mr. Wingfield was asked many
quest'uns and he was ready at all
times with a quick retort thst was
courteous and convincing. For In

the construction of a levee on the

Wingfield showed the greatest famili

"I believe that we will get as much

will get $500,000, end he will work

we had abandoned Ihe packet boat*
