A correspondence Nature contributes
to that journal theory of the formation
of hail. which is so short and clear that
it will interest many readers who have
at times opportunity to test lis correct
ness.
Limiting our notice to such compound
hailstones as are the most destructive,
and are produced during a tornado or a
violent thunder storm, the following is,
in few words, the theory of their forma-
ton:
When the winds gyrate rapidly round
an axis, more or less inclined to the
earth, the space at and about the axis is
rarefied. When air charged with vapor
is drawn into this rarefied space, it may
be condensed into cloud or rain, but at
greater elevation into snow.
Now supposing the rain formed in the
lower region to be drawn up by the as
cending current into the snow region
and so held for short space, the drops
will be frozen, and then, if propelled be-
yond the gyrations, it will fall to the
ground as shower of ordinary hail.
But if in the descent they are again
drawn in by the intiowing current, they
will be again carried up into the cold
region, and so acquire another coating
of snow, or, if wetted in the previous
descent, the water will freeze into coat
Of transparent ice. In this way the
globule may make number of ascents
and descents, and acquire fresh coating
each time

Trouble for the New Commissioner.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Pension Com
missioner Raum has been served with a
writ of mandamus, returnable Dec. IS
before the supreme court of the District
of Columbia, commanding him to show
cause why he has not increased the
pension of Charles R. Miller from $50 to
S72 per month in accordance with de-
cision of Secretary Teller. The manda-
mus was issued at the instance of Attor-
ney Bigelow, counsel for Miller. This is
one OF three similar cases now pending
in the interior department. Commits
sioner Raum is preparing his answer
and it is understood he will take the
ground that his refusal to grant the in
crease is matter of discretion, and that
a mandamus cannot lie to compel him
to change his discretion; that manda-
mus can only lie to compel a public
officer to perform duty laid down
plainly in the law, and, therefore, he
thinks the court should dismiss the writ.

young farmer living near Durham, N.
c., disappeared Nov. 10 and j. P. Davis,

the barn. Davis fled and a Durham
policeman was sent here to look for him.
Yesterday while he and the chief of
police of this city were in conference at

asked the proprietor if he should awaken
"Mr. Davis" lodger who had come in
late on the previous night. The name
aroused the suspicion of the officers and
they went to the room of the lodger and
found Davis. He made full confession,
that he had murdered Horton with a
bootjack and had buried the body in the
barn, where it was found. His object,
he said, was to put Horton out of the
way and get possession of the farm,
which belonged to Horizons mother.
Davis was taken to North Carolina for

Known Who are Imprisoned


Known Who are Imprisoned.
BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 25.-It has been
discovered that the fire, which is raging
in the Anaconda and st. Lawrence
mines, caught in the 400-foot level of the
st. Lawrence, and as the two mines are
connected on every level down to the
S00-foot of the Anaconda, the fire has
communicated itself to both. The men
who are supposed to be imprisoned in
the S00-foot level of the Anaconda have
been driven up. and all the shafts, drifts
and slopes of the two mines have been
bulkheaded to try and smother the fire
The men who fell from the cage in the
st. Lawrence are still lying at the bot
tom of the shaft, notwithstanding the
efforts that have been made to reach
their bodies. A great many men are
missing, but it will not be known posi-
lively who are imprisoned in the burn
ing mines until Tuesday, when the shaft
bosses will call the roll of men. To add
to the seriousness of the situation, 5000
pounds of dynamite are on the 500 foot
level and if this should explode the cave
in which would result would be terrible.
