Preoipitating Rainfall.

The subject Of prccipitating rainfall
has long engaged the attention of
scientists. The Scientific ltmcyicun
of recent date contains tho following:
Among the recent patents is one
taken out by Daniel Rugglcs, Of Fred
crlcksbnrg, Va, for what he dcsgnates
as new and useful mode Of produc-
ing III in or precipitating rainfails from
rain clouds for tho purpose Of sustain
ing vegetation and for protection
against drought and for sanitary pur-
poses.
The invention consists in sending
balloons into the cloud realms, said
balloons carrying torpcdoes and car
tridScs charged with explosives, and
there TO explode or dctonatc them by
electric force.
"My design" he says, 'is to employ
every kind Of explosive force Mt an
elevation in tho cloud region of the
atmosphere, III order to condcnsc rain
clouds by conclusive force or the pow
or OF explosion within such region,
thereby prccipitating rain to sustain
vegetation, prevent drought, and also
purity ana rcnoyatc the atmosphere
during periods of pestilcnco and cpi-
denies.
"I contemplate the employment Of
n!tro-glyccrihc, dynamite, CELEBRATES Of
nitrogen, gun cotton, gunpowdcr, full
inmates, nnd other explosives, and to
uso the magncto-clcctric telegraph on
the surface of the ground and the
phono-telcgraph in the cloud realm to
direct action in cases where q REGULAR
balloon not charged with explosives ia
occupied by an nronaut to rcconnoitre
the cloud realm, to trail torpedocs and
cartridges, or to throw them in para
chlltcs, and to explode or detonato
them either from tho balloon occuDicd
ny the @ronaut or from the ground.
"lnstcad Of single balloon proyid.
cd with cXplosivcs--say ten small tor
pcdoes or cartridges, each charged
with half pound of dynamite, snd
arranged for simultaneous magnetic.
electric eXplosion-I propose in some
cases the employment of small bal
looms IN groups in the cloud region
each provided with explosives and ar
ranged for simultaneous explosion o,
delonatlon by either electric or me
rhnhica' force; and | contemplate no
only I? prccipitatc rainfall, hut also tt
check its fall III overnbnntlancc in ,
given locality by causing the raj,
clouds to discharge rain before tn,
given locality has been reached b,
such clouds. -
"MY invention is based on discove
rios IN meteorological science, and tina
electrical force force sways and con
trols tho atmospheric realm and gov
crns the movements Of the rain clou(}s
bursting into thundcrstorms, dispcns
ing, rain and hail, and into cyclone
and tornadocs illuminated BY magnetic
electric forces as primo attributes Q
matter.
81 propose to employ tho magnetic
electric engine to send explosives int
the cloud realm, and compressed ri
and stoam into the atmosphere when
ever found .cxpcdicnt, each tmouu
its appropriate medium Of mctol1i
wire, textile fibre, cordagc, and clasii
tubes"
The use of nitro-glyccrinc and ba
looms, as above described, was suppcs
cd some years ago by DR.. ~. II. Robcr
son, otW II lsbor0.

Of inviting about twenty-five of them

These twenty-five, he said, consult

with gravity and carncstncss, concern

SUICIDE IN COLUMDIA.--Ihe citizens
Of our quiet city we've shocked this
morning at the news that Mr.. Gilman
Beck, IL young gentleman well known
III the community, had shot himself in
the head with II pistol, aud that there
were no hopes of his recovery. 1t
seems that Mr.. Beck had not been well
for several days past, but this morning
he arose, dressed himself, went to
breakfast, and sent word TO his en-
ploycr, Mr.. M. l.. Kinard, that he
would be ready for duty in the store
tomorrow. After breakfast lie was
sitting in the room with his sistcr-in-
law, Mrs. 6. j. Beck, at the residence
of his brother, in Mr.. lrwin's building
Oh Main street, and gave no signs
whatever Of any intention to do him
self personal injury. lie arose, how
ever, walked TO the hall way, pulled Il
pistol from his pocket, remarking that
he believed he would shoot it OIL, when
Mrs. G. j. Beck approached him with
a view Of preventing him from doing
so. AS she ncarcd him ho placed tho
muzzlc just above his right car, pulled
tho trigger, received the ball in his
head, and fell on tho floor. The fhet
was at onco communicated to friends,
tho doctor summoned, and everything
was done that was possible, under the
circumstances, but at the hour of three
o'clock, p. m., he died. The ball did
moi go through The head, but lodged
somewhere, it is supposed in or neal
the brain. Mr.. Beck was young man
highly esteemed among his friends and
acquaintanccs, and this sad and un
fortunate occurrence has cast q gloon
over the community. There arc con
lectures as to tho cause Of tho distress
ing event, but We forbcar to commcn
upon them Yeoman, ION inst.
