Within Il short time the agricultural
department hopes 10 make an interesting
experiment, probably on the plains near
the state line Of Colorado and Kansas
In the agricultural appropriation bill is
an item appropri2ting g.. 600 for the pur-
pose Of an experiment in producing rain
fall by explosion Of dynamite. This
paragraph was put in the bill by the in
fluence OF Senator Farwell. who for
many years has believed that rainfall
may be induced by the use Of explosives.
Secretary Rusk thought well of the idea,
and the senator induced the committee
on agriculture 10 make provision for the
experiment.
Senator FarwelrS notion is that about
twenty-five pounds of dynamite should
be exploded at a time half mile or so
IN the air. the material being sent up by
means Of inexpensive paper balloons and
exploded by time fuses. Senator Far
well and Secretary Rusk believe a sue
cession Of such explosions will cause
rain 10 fall over a considerable area. At
least the experiment in their opinion is
worth making, for if it should succeed a
cheap and effective solution Of the and
land problem would have been discov-
cred. The members Of the senate com
nittee on agriculture do not express
much faith in the SUCCESS OF the under
taking Herald.

June 80 brought mp sturgeon wn1cn

mouth Of the Columbia, almost TO the

that there was attached 70 him chain

fore, and on the under side of his mouth
4 hole had been cut. Through this the
chain had been passed. and through a

10 a pole or stake. with a rope attached
70 the end Of the chain.

10 get at the details Of one as mysterious
as any.
John Keys and his wife, aged but 10 and IL
respectively, lived temporarily on a wharf
boat ct Lawrencehurg. = few miles below
Cincinnati, and a man whose supposed
name was Fee remained with them some
time. One night he disappeared. A wom-
an or an adjoining boat declared that she
saw the parties go 70 the kentucky shors
late st night, and heard shots and screams.
\ body was found in the river. and 50 the
chain Of testimony was supposed 10 ba

Il was soon proved. however. that the
body was not that of Fee, but OF Cincin-
natl lad named RuSk, and that Fee and
Keys had both decamped. Another ''the-
ory" had 10 be formed, OF course, but THAI
was in a measure spoiled by the voluntary
testimony OF Mrs Keys, who was visiting
her mother in Cincinnati, without thought
that she and hers were objects of suspicion

before, that IL was Rusk who crossed thu
river with them, that the men fired their
guns there and that Rusk left them 20 20

New York is never without two or three.
In short, If the reader believes the old adj
age, let him try IL in this way: Count all
the murders reported in a month, say, and
then take OF the number Of murderers

poison and other secret methods there are
as many murders unsupported and you viii

ported proverb never obtained general
credence; for even of the known murders a
very large portion are never traced 70 the
perpetrators, and in the very nature Of
things there must be very many unlawful
killings in which the fact of murder is not
even suspected The plain truth is that
murder escapes detection about as often as
any other serious crime; or, If there Is any
difference, it arises from the fact that muir
der excites more widespread horror than
any other crime, and therefore many more
people are willing TO assist in detecting the
guilty.
Consider this fact: At this very time no
less than twenty mysterious murder cases
are employing the energies of police and
detectives in the United States, and it is as
certain as any future event can be that
justice will fail in at least half the cases.
Some of them are mysterious indeed. A
few weeks since Samuel NJ. Jacobson, an
lsrae'ite, aged % years, living at :, 800 Cali
fornia street, San Francisco reused his
mother and sisters about half an hour
after midnight with the statement that he
had been shot. He declared that two men
had robbed him in front of the house, and
that one of them shot him. He died in 3
day or so, and then the formation of the
cries" began.
One set of detectives decided with great
positiveuess that he was shot inside the
house, for there were too many people on
the street for robbery and murder 20 take
place there and the robbers escape. An
other faction maintains that the murdered
mans dying statement was correct, and
a third is positive that he was shot by
a woman. On the other hand his mother
and sisters, who were asleep in the house,
did not hear the shot, and janitor at the
distance of n block did hear it. To this
one faction makes reply that the family
have not told all they know" The pa

On the evening Of Labor Day Frank
