New Use For Dynamite.

DR.. j. W. Greene, of Chillicothe, Mo-,
writes to the Kansas City Journal that
for trifling sum of few hundred dol
lars and a little systematic work by
practical men Kansas City or any other
place can have all the rain wanted.
Take, say, 100 good, large, strong toy
balloons. 100 pounds of dynamite in
one-pound packages, and 100 ounces of
powder. Attach one pound of dynamite
and one ounce of the powder to each
balloon, with fuse enough to set the
powder off at about half-mile hight OF
higher The explosion of the powder
will explode the dynamite. The explo-
sion of the dynamite at that altitude
will cause displacement of the air for
about !, 900 feet and an active agitation
for very much greater distance. These
explosions should be made from several
neighboring stations, say two or three
miles apart, and for a general rain, of
course, at distances accordingly; and
they should take place at as regular,
successive intervals as.possible. In an
hour or two terrific storm will be rag
ing in the upper elements. Aerial fric-
ton will generate electricity, which will
play its necessary part. while concus-
sion and the commingling of maddened
currents and counter currents of warm
and cold atmosphere will produce con-
densation of watery vapOr-rainfall.
This random work will bring it. But
if the balloons could be anchored and
the explosions made by electricity at
more regular intervals the result would
be more certain and more effective
This is the idea in the rough. Expert
ment and improvement will develop de-
tails. But the scheme will be put into
active operation, and the man who sug-
gests it will probably never get the
credit for it.

Two Sides OF City Life.

1t was on one of the hottest of the re-
cent severely hot afternoons that New
York Times reporter. waiting near the
corner OF 23d street and 9th avenue. as
sisted briefly and unintentionally at a
meeting between two friends. Both
were ladies of matronly bearing, comely,
well dressed, presumably intelligent
and this is what they said two feet away
from him:
What dreadful weather."
mot 80 hot as yesterday, do you
think?"
ut seems so to me-"
Il judge more by Nan my dogs feel
ings. really, than my own"
'Oh, yes. poor little creature. She
must suffer this weather"
.'She felt yesterdays heat more than
any day yet Why, l had her in the
coolest room in the house and then fam
ned her most of the day."
Here the reporter s car fortunately
bore him away. A half-hour later his
way took him through one of the streets
of the hospital district in upper Lexing-
ton avenue. 1t was dispensary day at
one of these excellent institutions, and
the block was crowded on the shady
side of the street with waiting mothers
bearing in their arms the sick babies
whose little lives were weakly gasping
out under the accumulated burdens of
sitting heat, scant nourishment, and
the polluted air of crowded tenements.
The sight was pitiful-the weary, nope
less expression of the women, and the
pale, sodden faces of the babies, who
/ lay most of them with closed eyes and
hanging, nerveless hands. In forciDle
contrast rose the spectacle of an enery-
ated pug lolling on its cushions in a
cool, airy room. while its devoted mis-
tress tirelessly waved the refreshing
palmleaf before its wrinkled and express
sive eountenance.

An AfectiOnate Man.

A man who has an office on Broad
street, and whose name is seen often in
the newspapers, put $500 on deposit
with one of his stock-broker friends q
month or two ago, and yesterday. in
answer to message from the brokers'
office, he called to get an accounting.
Three thousand dollars was to his credit
as profits. The Wall street office was
filled with people watching the tape
when he called, but he forgot all about
that when he saw the statement which
showed his good luck, and with never
so much as hint of purpose he threw
his arms around the broker and then
and there most ardently kissed him. He
kissed him not once nor twice only, but
a full dozen times. and possibly would
have kept up his solitaire game of oscu-
lation till the day was done; but men
downtown are rude, and roars of laugh
ter brought him to stop. The broker
poor man. he didn't look half as hap
py as he might have looked had some
body else done the kissing. - Neao
