Precipitating Rainfalls by Scientific
Means

Gen. Daniel E. Ruggles, of Virginia,
at the request of the Senate Committee
on Agriculture, appeared before them
at Washington on the 18th and briefly
explained his method of ecipitating
rainfalls by scientific meas. His meth
cd flor which he has recently been
granted patent) is to send up to the
cloud-realm cartridges or dynamite or
similar explosive materials in skeleton
balloons, and to explode them either
by time-fuses or by magneto-electricity,
through light metal wires connecting the
balloon with, the earth. Gen. Ruggles,
as the result of many years of study
and investigation of this subject, claims
that the different mists passing over
arid regions, or localities suffering from
unusual droughts, may readily be con-
solidated into rainfalls by concessions
and vibrations thus artifcialy produced
and he has, therefore suggested to the
committee that congress might pr05ide
a small appropriation for expenditure
by the Commissioner of Agriculture to
test the practicabllity of aiding agricul-
tural interests of the country in this
manner. The committee listened to
Gen. Ruggles' statement with much in
terest, and requested him to prepare an
amplified memorial on the subject,
with view to their taking it more
fully into consideration at an early day.

Cheapness Of To-Day's Journals.

The fact is there is nothing sold
which is so cheap as the newspaper of
to-day. 1t is barely possible that the
very low price at which it is bought
tends to lessen the public estimate of
its value. Year by year the expense of
newspaper publishing has increased.
Take a paper of to day and compare it
with one of ten years ago and the
change is wonderful. Wit one of
twenty-five years ago there is practical
" no comparison possible, as there is
no common ground to put them on.
The labor on the present daily paper
involved in type-setting, printing, re-
porting, editing, correspondence and
the thousands Of incidentals is greater
than anybody outside an Office can
imagine. The telegraph bills of to-day
would have made manager faint a
few years ago. There has been a steady
and amazing improvement in newspa-
pers during the past decade, with no
increase whatever of price, and it is
among the possibilities that when the
general Use Of material begins to be
seriously felt by the publishers, as it
soon must, rise in price will have to
follow. 1t would not be making people
pay more for their paper than they
used to. 1t would be making them pay
for more-which they get in their pa

Two BELGIAN exploring expeditions
are now on the march in Africa. There
are also French and Italian exploring
parties in that country. Various En-
glishmen, Germans and Americans are
also independently invading that mys-
ferrous land. The first steps have been
taken toward establishing wayside sta
tons for travellers at Onsagara, noun
famous country to the north Of Roube-
no hills. leading out of the desert OF
Bitter Water. They are the ideas Of
French committee Of an international
African Association, who desire tina. the
travellers may have some place to re.
cruit their caravans, engage porters, ard
seek information about the locality, and
it is hoped that in little time they will
be self-sustaining, and will so far clear
the roads Of robbers and marauders as
to give new impetus to African explo-
ration. The German committee OF the
same association is also building a sta
ton between Zanzibar and Lake Tang
anyka. Many OF the transport Official
ties which Spede, Grant and Stanley en-
countered will thus be obviated.

New York Republican Convention

The New York republican convention
m ct at Utica, Feb. %. Gen. Arthur call
ed the body together and the secretary OF
the state committee began calling the
roll. This gave rise to heated discus
sion between the different contested
delegations. Order being restored,
Chas. E. Saith, of Albany, was elected
temporary chairman.
Gen. n M. Curtis offered the follow
ing resolution:
ResoEued, That the delegates of the
several congressional districts be re-
quested to report TO this convention the
names of TWO delegates, selected by
them, to represent such district in the
national republican convention, to be
held in Chicago, June 2, 1880, in accord
ance with the call for such convention
and according to the usage heretofore
practiced in republican conventions in
this state.
General Arthur offered the following
as substitute
ResolUed, That the delegates fir
each congressional district be requested
to report, for the action Of the conven-
ton, the names CT two delegates and
TWO alternates to the national conven-
ton, and that commltte OF one from
each judicial district be appointed by
the chair to report, for the action OF
thesconventien, the names Of four dele
gates at large and four alternates to the
national convention.
After long discussion Gen. Arthur s
substitute was adopted. A recess was
then taken.
When the convention reassembled,
Cnas. Z. Smith was made permanent
chairman, who expressed his thanks
tor the honor conferred. The commit
tee on credentials reported that the
sitting delegates, from the first assem-
bly, district, Oneida county, headed by
Hon. Roscoe Conkiing, are the regular
delegates, and entitled TO seats.
The report of the committee on reso-
utlons was cslito or and presented by
E. w. StoughtoD, who took the stage
and read as followa:
The republicans of the state OF New
York, assembled to appoint delegates
to represent then III the national con-
vention, do reaffirm the principles and
patriotic purposes OF the republican
party heretofore declared and faithful
ly acted upon and equally impressed
with the responsibility now devolved
upon them. declare that the safety of
the union is gain imperilled by viru-
lent and unlawful efforts OF the demo-
cratic party to oyerawe ana suovert the
state governments as represented by
the conduct of its leaders in Maine
and in several southern states, thereby
intending to secure control of the gen.
eral government by deeds OF violence
and fraud. and in defiance of carefully
constituted judicial authorities. In the
presence OF these grave and threatening
dangers, it is the duty OF the republican
party of the union, in its united
strength, TO meet and prevent them and
to this end, mindful OF their
