Organic Lie in Hailstoncs.


During the violent thunderstorms which
ragged very violently over the whole comi-
try in the early part of last month, Mr.. l..
c. Thompson, of Liverpool, was struck
with the unusual dimensions Of the hail
stones which fell in that city. Being no
work at the time with two microscopes, he
/ thought that an excellent opportunity Of
making observations on the character of
! hailstones was before him He accordingly
collected number that fell through his
study window and put them at once into
clean watch-glasses placed under the micro
scopes. They were of remarkable form
and structure, some being round and thick,
with fat surface, and composed of "A NUM-
Der of concrete layers, both transparent
and Opaque Others large, Jagged and
angular, while some resembled broken
pieces of ice Several observations have
been recorded during the past few ycays
upon the substances, organic and NOR
ganic, found in hailstoues amOb@, roti-
ters, bacIlh, and particles of vegetable
matter being amongst the organic suhstan-

in the conical-shaped watch-glasses, a de-
post fell TO the center which a rough mi-

composed of dark colored amorphous,
inorganic substance, and minute stone

numbers of very minute, oblong, bead-llke
bodies. about one fifty fifth OF an inch in
length. each having a dark patch at the

they evidently belonged Here, then, was

elevation in our atmosphere. probably form

formed themselves. Their presence IN such
a situation is very interesting and instruct

which floating particles whether minute
animals. poisonous bacteria or bacill, or
vegetable organisms-may find their way
among us, and settle wherever they happen
to secure a congenial indus.

DEAR SIR: Yours Of June z, request
ing me to appear before the Legislative
Committee Of City Council and tell what
| know Of the passage of bill vacating
certain lands in the city Of Wilmington,
received. | decline to appear before the
said committee and my reasons for Sc
doing are as follows.
First, the charter of the city of Will
mington gives said committee no power
to examine me or any one else ia such q
case, and the attempt to do so is in vio-
lation of law.
Second, the matter said committee is
seeking to inquire about in no wise
touches the functions or the rights oi
the Council and does not in any way con
cern said body, but relates entirely to the
affairs of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment and IS said departments business
solely.
Third, if should have chosen to ap
pear, | could not tell you anything of my
knowledge, as the matters referred K
We're in the hands of counsel employed by
me. Yours truly

WHAT soullER SAYS.
He Never Said He Would Charge se5
for RehearsaIs,

H. p. souiier, manager Of the Opera
House, said this morning to an
EVENING JOURNAL reporter that
he had nothing to say regarding the
letter Of n. Dushane Cloward, published
in these columns yesterday. He said II
was too ignorant to deserve notice. Later
on, in conversation, lie denied all the
charges made in the letter but having
told Mr.. Coward to come back on the
stage and he would ''do him.
Mr. Souler said he never told anyone
that he would charge $25 per night for
the rehearsals, and that if Mr.. Cloward
heard that, he should have come to
him and asked about it and
not clustered about the town say
lug what he would do. Mr.. Sou
lier said he told Mr.. Cloward
several times, when asked about the
rehearsals, to 60 on and have them,
and if nothing was made they would
cost nothing, and if they had good
house they would only cost the price of
gas, $40 a night.
Mr.. Soulier said he would not recognize
Mr.. Coward letters or agents, because
he could always be found at his office and
did not care to negotiate with third
party.
In regard to the threat to do" Nr
Cloward, Mr.. Soulier said this was over
another matter. He had finished talking
with Mr.. Cloward about the rehearsals
ana it was in the heated discussion
That followed his demand for an
explanation of the remarks Mr.. Cloward
had made about the recent benefits fol
the Johnstown sufferers being more of q
benefit to Proctor & Soulier
Mr.. Soulier did not care for what the
papers said, and had no desire to have
anything IN them in his defence, as he haC
