Thirty Men Missing and Cannot Be Reached. EXPLOSION SUPPOSED TO BE THE CAUSE Every Effort Bein fMade to Reach the Men —Two Rescue Parties Have Been Mis sing for Several Hours. Washington, June 12.—The exten sive reports of United States Consul Covert, at Lyons, France, relative to the success of cannon firing in Franco as a means of protecting orchards and vineyards from hail storms, and also for the purpose of mitigating or nul lifying the effects of frost upon vege tation, have prompted numerous in quiries by horticulturists in this country as to when, if at all, our gov ernment would adopt similar methods of protection. Professor Willis L. Moore, the chief of the weather bureau, acting under the direction of Secretary Wilson, therefore, has issued to the press the following statement: “After an examination of all that has been published during the past two years, my conviction is that we have here to do with a popular delu sion as remarkable as is the belief in the effect of the moon on the weather. The uneducated peasantry of Europe seem to lie looking for something miraculous. They would rather bo lieve in cannonading as a rneaos of protection and spend on it abundance of money, time and labor than, adopt the very simple expedient of mutual insurance against losses that must in evitably occur. “The great processes going on in the atmosphere are conducted on toe large a scale to warrant any man or nation in attempting tocontrol them. The energy expended by nature in the production of a hail storm, a tornado or a rain storm exceeds the combined energy of all the steam engines and explosives in the world. It is useless for mankind to combat nature on this scale. “After the experience that this country has had during the past 10 years with rainmakers, I am loth to believe that the bombardment of hail storms will ever lie practiced or at tempted in the United States, much less encouraged by the intelligent portion of the community. Every effort should be made to counteract the spread of the French delusion which has been imported into this country by Consul Covert.’’ Port Royal, Pa., June 11.—The Pittsburg Coal <fc Coke Company’s Kruger is at The Hague to confer shaft No. 2, at this place, is again on with Boer agents. fire, after running steadily for seven King Edward distributed medals to years, and at least 30 men are in the the South African heroes. mine, many of whom, it is feared, will never be heard from again.
