A WEATHER NOTE TO MEN (AND WHITHER TO STRAUSS)
The remark accredited to Mark Twain—that people talk about the weather—but can't do much about it—is not accurate In this day and age—
The Flying Man with dry ice and other agents can make snow or rain—almost at will— maybe deflect a tornado—And a physicist in California has a plan for illuminating the night sky with an artificial glow as bright as : the light of the full moon—by shooting radar waves in the sky!
And man can do something ‘about the rainy weather in a very practical manner—the textile chemists—and coat makers have achieved wonders :— =
