How to Make Rain.

The idea of blowing up the clouds
with dynamite, and thus bringing down
rain is soon to be tested in the arid re.
gions OF New South Wales. The sim.
pie device of balloon to carry the
dynamite aloit, and au electric wire to
fire the discharge, when the desired
elevation is reached, are expected to
secure satisfactory results. There seems
to be nothing unscient!ti tic in the idea,
but it remains to be seen whether prac.
tical results will follow its application.
1t was considered wonderful thing
when Franklin brought down lightning
from the clouds on the string of his kite;
need it be more surprising if this New
South Wales genius should bring
down rain by means of his meteorologi.
cal Internal machine. In course of a
few years it may be common thing
for the California farmer to send a
charge dynamite up to the sky, when
ever he thinks a little rain would
help his Crops acramento Bee.

The Hop Crop.

The outlook for fine crop of hops il
Sacramento county this year is good
The acreage is somewhat in excess Of
that Of last year, few small yards
having been set out this season. The
vines are growing finely, have good
color and there are but few missing hills.
There are no bugs or worms to amount
to anything, and the yield Of hops this
y sar will be in excess of that of any pre-
ceding season. Those engaged in the
business say that they expect to realize
handsome profits this year. The latest
reports from Europe say that the crop
there is going to be light, and in some
sections total loss This being the
case. the hops raised in America will
bring high price. Already the hop
buyesr are here trying to contract with
the hop-raisers for their growing crops
