Now and Importune Cipher.
To the editor of the Now York World :
Permit mo to waive onu quill of my wings
to add to the general ilutter in the Shako-
spearlan dovecote over the startling sen
sation caused by Mr. Ignatius Donnel
ley's Jiacon ' "cipher. " And , while
waving , I wave the too obvious opportu
nity of incidentally remarking that the
new cipher will essentially differ from
the conventional "cipher' * if it does
not 4 , and no more. I sup
pose that the late Richard Grant
Whlth was our only American Shako-
sncrian scholar I am pretty sure ho
though so but if now no scholars there
is a considerable number of Shakespeare
students , of whom 1 shall modestly claim
to ho one at all events for my present
purpose , to-wit :
"We" Shakespeare students are a cow
ardly crowd to attempt to repel the Don-
neil onslaught. Instead of defending we
should attack : Admitting the similarity
and sometimes identity of passages to bo
found both in Hacon and Shakespeare
especially lot us acknowledge in the
lately discovered "Pronins , " us paraded
by Mrs. Pott what remains for us is to
positively prove , as wo easily can , that
William Shakespeare wrote every
one of the books attributed to
Francis Hacon , from the "Novum Or
ganum" to the painfully protracted
posthumous "Promus" paraded by Pott.
I say we "easily" can do this by merely
making a "cipher , " or even more easily
by picking out the needed letters on any
jigo ! of the alleged Hacon books anil stir-
ing them together like this :
L-o-o-k h-e-i-o 1 W. S-h-a-k-s-p-e-a-r-o

It's as easy as falling off a log. and the
corner In Bacon woul'l ' speedily collapse.
I nave no doubt tlfat Sliakspcare
actually assimilated a good deal of Hacon
accompanied bv the adjunct epg .
Meanwhile I felicitate Mr. Ignatius
Donnelly on the advance advertising HO
gloriously ( nnd gratiously ) secured for
Ilia forthcoming book.

Slothodn or Opticians and Oculist * * .
Chicago Mail : The man who is about
to put on his iirst glasses deserves a good
deal of sympathy. First , of course , because -
cause to realize that the earth with its
plentitude is becoming indistinct is about
as sad a thought , next to seeing a mind
tottering , as ever entered one's head.
Hut this is not all. As if it wcro not
enough for one to lose his eyesight , the
victim must make up his mind to bo
ilecced. You and I know that a long time
ngo when a man's eyesight began to fail
he went to u store and titled on glasses
just ns he did a hat. When he found
a pair that suited he bought them ,
and they did him service for many a
year. Not so nowadays. You go to nn
optician , nnd ho has a sort of machinery
which you are hitched up to and put
through an examination. After a weary
struggle ybu are told that your eyes need
treatment. No glasses will do you any
good until your eyes have been cured.
Having gained your confidence , the
optician places in your hand the card of
an eminent'oculist. . You go there , nnd
then begins the torture. Blisters on the
the temple and dark rooms for days and
days , and a bill that wipes out a month's
salary. Maybe you nro told at the ex
piration of the Umo that you require
a certain sort of lens , and it can
only bo found at a certain optician's. If
yon look closely provided you have any
eyes left you will oiscoyer that this
same optician is tbo one who referred
you to the occulist. There are , of course ,
cases that require this sort of treatment.
But if a man's eyes are so bad that they
require the skill of an occulist , the vic
tim will probably find it out as soon as
an optician. I do not refer to any op
tician or oculist in particular. Hut in
every city like Chicago you will find com
binations between opticians and oculists ,
which they Hnd to bo mutually advan
tageous in a pecuniary way. .And they
work the same for all in sight.

HOW TO PREVENT DRODGBTS ,
Effects of Treeless Areas on Atmospheric
Conditions.
IMPORTANT PRACTICAL HINTS.
Dr. Kerry's Interesting 1'apor A
Great Daromotrio Troogh Atmoi-
pberical Movements Home-
dlca for Droughts ,
At last Thursday's session of the for-
csty congress at Springfield , 111. , Dr.
Daniel Berry , of Carmi , III..read a paper
on "Tlio Influence of the Western Tree
less Areas on Atmospheric Conditions
East of Them. "
Extracts from this valuable paper are
appended : A few years ago the system
atic work of the United States signal
service bureau established the fact that
to the southwcstward from the great
lakes was a wide area of low barometric
pressure which was persistent for several
months in each year notably during the
spring nnd in summer. This area has
been called the great barometric trough
of low pressure. It is in the form of an
ellipse , and is about GOO miles long by
400 miles wide. This area is subject to a
rcatmany frightful atmospheric dls-
urbanccs , known as tornadoes , and to
iccnslonal periods of long-continued
rought. It docs not create these torna
does , but furnishes a grand field for
heir action after they are started on
.heir career from other points. It is the
) bjcct of this paper to inquire ns to
whether these conditions can be modified
nd to indicate what npuears to mo to bo
he solution of the problem.
But first we must note that this ocean
if atmosphere is impelled in all its move
ments by Identically ( he same force that
moves the ocean of water ; namely , grav
ity. All our atmospheric movements
are simply adjustments of cquilbrium.
To appreciate how these movements oc-
nir we have only to study the analugoiis
novomcnts of water currents. Water
uns down hill. The air docs exactly the
amo thing. As streams of water How
down from the mountains into the val-
cys in well-defined channels , just no do
lie atmospheric currents move down
rom areas of high pressure into the
iroasof low pressure , and are guided by
ho configuration of the lands over which
.hoy How. This is the simple problem ,
but it is Generally rendered complex by
ho intervention of other factors. The
dtatcs of Indianna. Illinois , Iowa , Mis
souri and eastern Kansas , whou consid
ered in relation to s a-levol , occupy a
'ory low position. Any disturbance o r
ho atmosphere above them , from what
ever cause , either from shifting up by
sun-heat or a movement to supply the
needs of other regions southeastward of
us over the Atlantic , would naturally lead
to n How of air from the hicrher lands
westward of us. The rapidity and vol-
.ime of this reinforcing stream will de
pend on two causes : First , the declivity
of the hill down which It comes and the
space to bo filled up. We can measure
tills descent , which has two elements ,
one of altitude and another of pressure.
Wo can also mcasute the space to bo
filled the barometer shows this without
fail. In this locality whenever we have
an area ot low pressure which is nearly
constant in the months of May , .hino and
July wo must expect the equilibrium to
be restored by an in rusli of : ur from the
plains to the southwest and west , which
lie about 5,000 feet above us. At other
Reasons of the ye-ir , or duriiig the full
and winter months.wtum the area of low
barometer Is southeastward of us , over
the Atlantic , the roinforcinc currents
will be from the northwestern high
plateaus. When wo look for thecauso of
this great barometric trough of low pres
sure wo find it dun to two causes. 'Hie
nearness of the great lake and the na
tural consequence of the sun's heat upon
them , and second , to the added fact of
of immense cultivation. There is no
spot on the globe that presents as many
consecutive square miles of ploughed
land UH this barometric trough. During
the tordado period a bird's-eye view of
the urea would show thousands and thou
sands of square miles of ploughed land
prepared for corn , or only sparsely cov
ered with oats or wheat ; there is no veg
etation to fix the sun's heat in permanent
forms , and as a consequence this beat
runs rioi and rampant in the atmosphere.
By reason of its reflection and radiation
from the water soaked ground find lake
surfiico , it lifts vast columns of vapor-
ladened , hoitcd : air , that trend away to
the northeast , to part with their vapor
and dissinato their hunt , thus following
the general law of all superhcatcn
streams of air and water the world eve < \
to flow away from the equator , only to
return to it by well established ways as
cojdor streams. To preserve the equili
brium or to restore the lost balance
caused by this uplift , a demand is made
on the atmosphere of adjacent regions.
The western winds , dry and cold from
the stopuos of Asia , in their passage to
North America over the Ktiro Simo , or
equatorial current.of the Pacific , tase up
an immense amount of heat and moist
ure , reaching our shores saturated with
vapor. They find an inlet to the land
when the-Cascadn range breaks down.
Flowing eastward they let down their
moisture on the dome of the continent ,
nnd furnish the water supply for our
whole system of our majestic lakes and
rivers. But a different fate befalls those
winds that enter the country south of
Oregon. Here they are thrown against
the western flanks of the Sierra Nevada ,
where they are they are robbed of their
moisture , and thus descend , cold and
dry on the plateaus of Utah and Arizona.
In this condition they move eastward ,
with just such sufiicient moisture to
answer the needs of the vegetation on
the slopes , and to whiten the crest of the
Kocky mountains. After the total deple
tion they reach the plains of Colorado
and Now Mexico. In this condition of
clryness , but with their heat being con
stantly augmented by radiation from the
parched plains , they keep on their move
ment eastward.
.Nowif you will notice , this barometric
trough of low pressure , covering the
states of western Indiana.llliuois. south
ern Wisconsin , eastern Iowa , Missouri
nnd eastern Kansas is not much more
than at good drainage height above the
sea level , and is very low "when com
pared with the plains westward , that
tower 4,000 and 0,000 feet above it. When
this fact is fully appreciated , in conjunc
tion with a knowledge of physical law
that.like water.the air never moves until
n way is opened for it and n demand
made on it bv gravity , wo can easily fee
how the air from the western plains will
pour down into this barometric trough
to equalize the pressure. The data
gathered so far is not sufiicient to war
rant the conclusion that the prolific
course of our tornadoes , during May and
Tune , is the inrush of these western cold ,
dry currents to the partial vacuum of the
barometric trough , yet wo have ci\ough
data on which to ground such an assump
tion. But when wo come to consider the
effect of these winds in their passage
over the arid plains , they have changed
their character trom cold to dry , to hot
and dry , wo stand on surer ground. We
know that when these winds join with the
vapor laden air currents from the south ,
four ctl'ects are produced.
1. A change of direction of the com
bined currents from south and west to
northeast.
3. A dillusion of the vapor borne on the
southern current among the hungry air *
from the west.
3. . A general lifting of the combined

currents by thn great increase of heat
from the western current.
4. This increase ot heat gives the com
bined current n firmer grip on its mois
ture , nnd floating highcr.aswe have seen ,
enables it to carry this moisture further
to the northeast , causing excessive
droughts along the route.
Is there any way to change this con
dition ? . . .
There Is a remedy , simple and practi
cable ; but from the nature of the case ,
and to succeed
immense in its application ,
ceed must depend wholly on the intelli
gent comprehensive co-operation ot tlio
states interested. Thcso western winds
must bo tempered with moisture. Hut
how ? Wo have scon that their natural
base of supply for moisture is the Pacific
ocean ; that in their passage eastward
they leave a great amount of this
moisture , in the shape of snow
fall , along the crests of the Uocky
mountains. This snow-fall must bo
utilized for irrigating purposes along the
eastern slopes of these mountains. 'I his
is the plan of attack on the western side
of the arid region. The instrumentality
on the eastern must bo the plough , ad
vancing westward from the humid areas.
I think there is now-no question but
that the steady advance of agriculture
toward the aonthwest.'lh ' Kansas , during
the past ten years , hasiprojcctcd the rain
belt in the same direction.
Under the old conditions of prairie sod
the rainfall found an immediate passage
into t'io ' drain channels , leaving little or
nothing to bo returned to the atmosphere.
Under the new conditions of pulveriza
tion the soil is converted into an im
mense surface reservoir for the retention
of the rainfall. I believe that this prob
lem of tempering thcsu western winds
with moisture will , in time , be solved by
the exigencies of our civilization by sys
tematic field ami forest culture , but it
can bo hastened by intelligent inter-state
action. Let mo show you what private
enterprise is doing in Colorado , and I
wish you to note its r.itionalo : A com-
iny has tapped the Platte river in the
atte River canyon and by boring
through a mountain brings the stream
out on ix blgn plateau of
arable lands. The supply cap.al
for these lands is about eighty miles long
and is calculated to furnish water for
2UO.OOO acres of ground. Under the old
condition the surface of the 1'latto ex
posed for evaporation for this distance
was not much over three square miles.
This plan gives it an evaporating surface
equal to nearly 200 square miles. Hut we
must measure its evaporating capacity
by the area of the land that is irrigated.
A more just approximation would be
reached by calculating the combined su-
perficcs of the leafage that land sustains.
The plant roots appropriate the water
and the leaves give it to the air around
tbcm. So that wo see in this the fact
that an irrigating ditch not only waters
the ground , but practically pours that
same water indirectly into the atmos
phere if that ground be cultivated. It
will bo readily been how every enter
prise of tills kind brings about n modify
ing inlluouco tendhm to laden the atmos
phere with vapor. The facilities for ex
tending this work are as yet barely com
prehended.
Of one thing wo may rest assured , the
future of those states and territories along
the eastern slopes of the Kocky moun
tain ! ) will see to it that not a drop of
available water or snow fall will be al
lowed to go to waste. There are thou
sands of places along these eastern
slopes , in the narrow-mouthed gorges
and canyons , where retaining
dam can be built that will hold back the
water from the melting snows in perma
nent lakes that shall form vast reservoirs
available for purposes ot irrigation. The
cost of such dams should bo slight com
pared with the wonderful results that
would be accomplished. These results
are not alone the climatic conditions to
be affected eastward , but are more far-
reaching.
When you reflect tnat all the devastating
ing inundations of the Missouri nnd
Mississippi rivers are mainly caused by
the molting snows among the eastern
slopes of the Kocky mountains , perhaps
you will believe with mo that if all the
money that has been expended on the
levee system of the lower Mississippi had
been spent in building retaining dams to
hold back this water from the snow fall ,
we would have a Mississippi controllable
without levees and regular showers on
the arid plains ; and you. may also gather
what I mean when I speak of intelligent ,
comprehensive , interstate action in the
premises. But rest ussarod that it Is only
by such means as is hero indicated that
forest growth on the [ plains can bo se
cured , and you can only hope to map out
the general plan.
It is nuccssiry that such a sympathetic
. > irit may bu created , and fostered as
will loai men in dlltorant parts of
the country to see and feel that their in
terests are most intimately commingled
and dove-tailed together' . For instance ,
when the farmer of Wisconsin or north
ern Illinois reads of a two or throe years
drought in Texas ho must be taught to
see that ho has u direct interest in that
fact , and that it closely concerns him. If
this farmer is too old to learn then
teach his child the fundamental princi
ples of atmospheric law. First tell it
what the father already knows by exper
ience that nearly all the rainfall neces
sary to give him an abundant liurvc.it
comes on the vapor-laden air currents
from the southward ; show him that
these air currents parry moisture in
direction proportion to the heat they
bear ; explain to him how these currents
traveling noothward freighted with bles
sing for him are liable to bo influenced
by t\\o very potent causes that effect the
weal or woo ; that when they pass over
the arid regions of Texas their beat Is
augmented by radiation from the parched
i-arth , nnd by this means they take n
firmer grip on their moisture , float higher
and carry their bunions further to the
north ; or , being reinforced by the west
ward winds hot and dry from the plains ,
their moisture Is diffused in ( hat hungry
atmosphere and the. combined current ?
carry It to indefinite distance ? to the
lorthcastward. Again show him that ho
cannot have something out of nothing ;
hat the highway robbery plan of taking
rom the forest , the field and the air all
heir benefits , giving nothing in exchange
s pernicious in every respect ; that here ,
as everywhere else , "Honesty is the best
lolicv. "
