Precipitating Rainfalls by Scientific
----.-- I'LL Means.

General Daniel Ruggles, of Virginia,
ut the request of the Senate Committee
on Agriculture, appeared before them
the other day and briefly explained his
method of precipitating rainfalls by
scientific means. His method flor which
he has recently been granted patent)
is to send up to the cloud realm car.
tridges of dynamite or similar explosive
materials in skeleton balloons, and to
explode them either by time-fuses or by
magneto-electricity, through light me-
tai wires connecting the balloons with
the earth. General Ruggles, as the
result of many years of study and in.
vestigation on this subject, claims that
the different mists passing over arid
regions, or localities suffering from un-
usual drought, may readily be consoli.
dated into rainfalls by conclusions and
vibrations thus artifcially produced;
and he has therefore suggested TO the
Committee that Congress might provide
a small appropriation for expenditure
by the Commissioner of Agriculture TO
test the practicability of aiding the
agricultural interests in this manner.
The Committee listened to General Rug.
gles's statements with much interest and
requested him TO prepare an amplified
memorial on the subject, with view to
their taking it more fully into consider.
