CANNONApING FOR RAIN.


The Kansas Legislature IL petition
I'd by l23 citizens of Rocks county
To appropriate money to experiment
by cannonading for rain. The sub
scribers say that as veterans Of the
wars they have observed that rains
follow great battles and ascribe the
rain to the shocks given the air by
the thunder Of the explosions. But
Piutarch In his life OF Marius re-
marks that great storms follow after
great battles. He says "it has al
ways been observed that extraordi-
nary rains fall after great battles,
whether because some deity chooses
to wash and purify the earth, or
whether the blood and corruption,
by the moist, heavy vapors they emit,
thicken tho air, which Ia liable 10 be
altered by the smallest cause" The
ancients were close observers of the
air: they discovered that oil on
waters smoothed their widest race
and we are but just learning IL.
Pliny says that vinegar II thrown
into the air will lull the wind, This
seems no more improbable than that
about oil ON waters. The air is all
connected and all It's atoms arr
mobile. Who can tell how iarrsach-
ing may be the effect OF big spray
OF vinegar dispersed through the
air? but the ancients had no
guns, no laundering cannon,
Hence there must be some other
cause for the ram. We would like
10 have proper experiment made,
however. AS rain il caused by the
interminglng of colder and warmer
currents OF air, and rs the air Is very

boat. and kept us in that condition
for some time, they allowed US to
get on board. They then compelled
us TO row towards the land. They
striped us of all our clothingimme-
diately after we were taken in; and
the reader may form some idea OF
our distress in this condition, under
a burning sun, from the fact that
before night our shoulders were
blistered by being thus exposed to
the heat. On approaching land we
discovered no habitation; but after
going round point of the island,
we saw near the beach arrow ofsmall
and badly constructed huts
We were compelled to jump from
the canoes into the water and wade
to the shore. BY this time the beach
was lined with women and children,
who caused the air TO resound with
the most horrid yells and screams.
Their gestures and violent contor-
tions of countenance resembled the
frantic rawlings of Bedlamites. The
reception we met with on land was
no more agreeable than that upon the
water. Judging from the treatment
we had received from the females OF
the island which we had left, it was
hoped that the gentle sex would ex-
tend to us some proof of their CON-
miseration; but in this we were sad
ly disappointed. If possible, they
were more cruel than their inhuman
lords and masters. We were soon
separated from each other, and
dragged about from place to place
our brutal captors, in the meantime,
contending with each other to see
who should have us as his property.

An Ample Apology.

Through some unacoountable
carelessness in the composing room
of II rural journal, the obituary of
on of the towns livest citizens
crept into the morning paper one
morning. 1t was not many hours
after the issue of the edition that
the 'lamentcd" himself crept
into the sanctum, and vigorously
demanded correction in the
next mornings paper. 1t appeared
rs follows:
sour yesterdays edition con-
tanned the announcement Of the
death of our esteemed fellow towns
man, Col. Jones. 1t is with pro-
found regret that we state that our
announcement was premature.
The colonel still lives, and we beg
to assure him not only of our distin-
guished consideration, but that il
shall be our constant effort to see
that he shall not be annoyed in this
manner again until the last dread
hour has in very truth arrived. To
this end we haye ordered the stand
ing obituary of Col. Jones to be dis
tri buted."
