I doubt this. Kansas became a political entity in 1854 (territory), and until the Lousianna purchase of 1803 the land was claimed by France.

Couldn't the state of Kansas had adopted the in place laws of  the  territory etc.  and one of French lawmakers wrote that law as joke (sense of humor).  Politicians have been known to adopt and pass laws without reading them.  Jan

It would be in the state statutes, and I couldn't find it there. I found a citation on the web, but it didn't give any real reference, and seems to me to basically be a collection of urban legend laws. (Not to mention that the Lousianna territory wasn't really a political entity, it was mostly a vast expanse of hinterland owned by France, with a few settlements, most notably those in what is the modern day state.) I suspect that if there were such a law, it was probably a local ordinance, passed in 1893, and pertained to artificial creation of fog.
