The Great w est.

The Illustrated West, new magi-
zine published at Omaha, Neb., has
been added to the list of periodicals
whose declared object is to push west
ern interests. You can hardly doubt
the ability and object Of this new
magazine when you listen to Its glow
ing initiatory:
"There is growing grandly in this
country mighty empire, more splen-
did In its proportions than any the
world has known. The Roman en-
pire, in its proudest day, did not APP
proach it. The empires of the old
world, in their majesty of being, in
social splendor, colossal financial
strength, in learning and in luxury en-
joyed by their citizens, never equaled
the magnificence of the empire existing
and developing In the West to-day.
Man can conceive of no mightier en-
pire than that defined by the Missis-
sippi river on the East and the Pacific
ocean on the West. In wealth it nearly
equals one-half of the United States.
In natural resources 1t surpasses its
boundary-two-thirds of the natural
resources Of the Union. In population
it Is capable Of SUSTAINING n number
equal to the census enumeration of
1890, and ere many years will control
the political conditions of the nation
Already the East realizes that 1t can
no longer dictate terms to the people
beyond the Mississippi. In matters of
finance, in governmental policy, the

says: "Gentlemen Of the appraising

been red-tape and tom-foolery enough
for the last Ave years in regard to this

pie expect now fyou Is steady, speedy
work in making the appraisement, SO
that the lands may be sold this fall.

A curious little clause was tackled TO
the appropriation bill in the United
States senate and went through legis-
lative mill innocently enough and is
now law. 1t provides that under the
direction of the forestry division Of the
department of agriculture $1,000 shall
be expended on experiments In. the ar
tificial production of rainfall. There
are those who are disposed to make
merry over this provision of the appro-
priation bill, but really there is nothing
90 very absurd in 1t. No doubt there
is plenty Of moisture in the atmosphere
at all times, If only 1t could be gathered
in the right place and be made to fall
upon the earth. Man has accom-
plished rs difficult things as that in the
realm of applied science; then why not
that? It is not contemplated, how
ever, to produce rainfall by the slow
growth of forests In the arid regions.
The success of that method Is still dis
puted. Under the new law it is pro-
posed to find out whether rainfall can
not be produced by electricity, dyna
mite explosions or other mechanical
agencies. Taking the cue from thu
fact that heavy cannonading on bat
tie field or at Fourth of July celebra
ton is followed by copious rains, tn
experimenters will work accordingly
The process Of burning powder to pro
duce rain has hitherto been to expen
sive to warrant its general use, but pos
slbly cheaper explosives will be found
1t has been proposed among othe
things to attach twenty-five pounds
dynamite to toy balloon, and the
send q flock of such balloons into tn
air with lighted fuses attached. A
any rate, one way or another, the ari
lands of this country are bound to (
brought under splendid cultivatio
sooner or later. They comprise som
of the most fertile soil on earth.

In British association paper Lord
Raleigh stated that the first camera was
a pin-hole camera, and that it was
shown in 1850 that simple aperture is
as effective as the best possible lens in
forming an image, provided only that
length was about nine feet and the aper-
tnre one-sixteenth of an inch, and pho
tographs taken on gelatine plates Of a
weather-cock, seen against the sky,

ion. IL cannot be claimed, however,
that photography without lens is
likely TO be of more than scientific in

Many have doubtlessly heard OF the

them as large as walnut and OF an

other, they Immediately begin travelling
