But few people realize the immense
cost OF producing a single issue Of any of
the great monthly magazines. An ex-
change states that the illustrations for
the Century and Harper's magazines cost
5000 per month. A CAREFUL estimate of
the cost in illustrating the Christmas
numbers OF Harper's and Scribner's puts
the sun at $1,000 each, as both contain
about seventy pictures, the average being
500 for each engraving. Many of the
full page engrayings cost $500 each, and
some of the half page illustrations, which
readers often pass by unnoticed, cost 5000
to $3.50 each, These prices are easily
accounted for when it is remembered
that the noted artists employed receive
from 800 to $3.50 a drawing. Ten years
ago the highest price paid for the same
work was $50 a drawing for a full page
illustration. The fixed charges" on the
large magazines for literary and artistic
matter alone are from 5000 to $4,000 a
month, enough to eat up the profits ON
100000 copies.

w. A. Gray, the artesian we'll contractor,
is of the opinion that the main source of
supply for the artesian basin underlying
the Jim river is in the Black Hills. He
reaches this conclusion from observations
of the strata passed through, and the
depth Of different wells he has bored in
all portions Of Dakota, including those
in the Missouri valley from Bismarck to
the south line Of the state. In the San
tee agency Mr.. Gray has put down a we'll
completed at $50 feet, when a flow Of
$500 gallons per minute was found. The
depth OF the wells increases from there
up the Missouri valley till at Maudan a
depth of 1900 feet is necessary to secure
an artesian flow. The same is true of
the Jim valley. The artesian basin ex
tends westward to the Black Hills.

AS IN A LoOKING-GLASs
From the Nation.

From the Nation
The state of Kansas is making hard
fight against the authority of the federal
government. Under the Original pack
age decision Of the United States SUI
preme court, sundry dealers began the
sale of liquor in the capital of Kansas, as
they undoubtedly have the right to do
until congress passes a bill giving the
states authority TO interfere with such
traffic. The Kansas officials, however,
attempted to usurp the power of overrul-
ing the federal court, and arrested the
dealers; the attorney general contending
that the packages were not Original"
because they were small enough TO suit
retail purposes. This claim was absurd
on its face, and Judge Foster, of the
United States circuit court has made
short work of it. pointing out that the
dissenting judge of the United States
supreme court have made for the scope
of the decision and of the law as it now
stands very clear, having expressly de-
clared that whisky and beer might be
imported from one state into another
and sold by the key, case, bottle, in any
quantity, large or small, provided it re-
manned in the shape put up for shipment.
Kansas has been very emphatic in main
tanning that the state must yield to the
authority of the federal government, but
it Is disagreeable surprise to find that
she must mind the supreme court of the
nation when she does not like its orders.

ARTIFICIAL RAINFALL
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Inotice in your issue of the nth inst.
that you think the experiment of Secre-
tary Rusk in exploding dynamite in the
high air to produce rain worthy of trial.
/ think it should be tried because fair
trial is the only supreme test of theory.
And this belief of rain following great
battles arising in this country during the
civil war has gained strength since. A
real test under proper conditions would
settle the matter.
Among practical meteorologists the
theory of conclusion producing rain Is
not indorsed. believe that if the at
mOsphera were charged with vapor at
the time 1t is possible it might be shaken
out bv heavy conclusion. Whereas
We're the detonatiOns TO be omitted the
rain would often pass off to other forms
or places. In such cases we Of Kansas
could be often benefited if the theory IS
true.
1t IS well known to practical meteOrOl-
ogists that a sufficient change of temper
ture in a cloud of dense vapor Is the
leading cause of precipitation. Yet
feel pretty sure that the loud claps
of thunder frequently shake down
increased quantities of showers where
the clouds are Just ready for precipita-
ton or there is a slight drizzle.
So ancient a writer as Plutarch speaks
of rain following great battles. And il
must be remembered that the ancients
used weapons of a nolseless nature com
pared to those of the moderns. Writing,
in the life of MariUs. about that generals
great battle with the TeutOns, he says:
1t i observed that great rains fail after
great battles. Whether it be that some
Deity chooses to purify the earth; or
whether the blood and corruption. by
the moist and heavy vapors they emit.
thicken the air so liable TO be altered by
the smallest cause" Il Is but a short
step from blood and corruption to the
explosion of gun powder in a mere theory.
and this theory of rains after battles Is
not new under the sun.
