V lH t1 H H t***1 H H H W *# 1 H H I******* How Scientist Would Draw Water From Fog An English university professor Is endeavoring to solve the problem of Hongkongs rainfall by converting the heavy fogs which envelop the island Into rainwater. The possibility of precipitating Into rain the moisture contained In fogs has been the subject of many theories, but no “ positive" experimental re- sulta have yet been attained. Fogs are caused by minute dust par ticles which collect moisture In vari ous ways. The particles, however, are too light to fall as rain. It has been demonstrated that these particles ahe charged with positive electricity, while the air In which they float Is charged negatively. If a alight difference In electric pres sure could be communicated to one part of the fog cloud, cohesion of the droplets would, theoretically, follow, and the enlarged particles would he heavy enough to fall In the form of rain. In order to accomplish this, high po tentials would have to lie "broadcast" Into the fog, and It would seem that any rain-making experiments conduct ed on this principle would Involve elec trical apparatus of great cost. H o w A i r M a il Is G u id e d The electrical engineers provided five stations with aerial beacons aptly nicknamed "midnight suns of the air mall." Each beacon Is a high intensity arc searchlight, mounted on a .K)-foot tower, nnd It revolves three times a minute. Set at an angle of one de gree, the .NIO.OnO.fllKI-fandle power beam from each o f these land light- houses sweeps the sky Just above the horizon Pilots have sighted beacons 180 miles away on clear nights. At 100 miles the diameter of Its beam Is about 2 miles If weather conditions permit It being seen at all. On 34 emergency landing fields along the night airway, large guiding lights have been Installed There are small er light guides every 3 miles.
