The moisture to water all the coun-
try east of Rockies crest must corns
from Caribbean Sea and Gulf of
Mexico. As that moisture proceeds
northward, on its long voyabc. to meet
the storms that coin** from north-
western Canada, it Is precipitated,
causing rain, as il approaches higher

the moisture, causes a shortage of
r.i in on north sides of ridges and
mountain ranges that extend east and

The facts mentioned in last above

the knowledge of where, when and
what part of tlie gront oceans the
moisture will come from to water the
continents, are the most Important
wen I her facts ever discovered. I am
doing my utmost to fit this know-
ledge to the use of all seel ons of

to lx* regretted that governments are
