1t Is certain that some Of the p,,,,
tons maintained by Prof. Newsomb ~,
not stand, in the extreme form in -
he has expressed them. he saws e.,

to throw tie bali back again, eoncpss;o.
in the air must produce waves Of yro.,
extent end force, leaving the atmosnbs,.
In state Of commotion r,--
unlike the immobility of n.
wall. Again Prof. Newcomb assert.
that if there is any scientific result which
we can accept with confidence, it is that
ten seconds after the sound of the a,t
bomb died away, silence resumed ba,
sway. From that moment, everything in
the alr-humidity, temperature, pressprs
and motion-was exactly the same as if No
bomb had been fired" That is apotba,
conclusion which seems to contain an ex.
cess of dogmatism. Did the professor eva,
throw a stone violently into still water? If
so, he must admit that it was much mora
than ten seconds before everything was ex.
actly as it was before, and the stm9spbere
is much more elastic than water
Professor Neweomb adds:
Ii may be asked whether, if clouds ara
already formed, something NAV NOT la
done to accelerate their condensation into
raindrops large enough to fall 10 the
ground. This also may be the subject Of
experiment. Let us stand in the steam
escaping from a kettle and clap our hands.
We shall see whether the steam condenses
into drops. | am sure the experiment
will be failure; and no other conclusion
is possible than that the production Of
rain by sounds or explosions is out of the
question.
1t must, however, be added that the
laws under which the impalpable part.
cles of water in clouds agglomerate into
drops of rain are not yet understood, and
that opinions differ on this subject. Er.
rerimeDts to decide the question are
needed, and it is TO be hoped that the
weather bureau will undertake them. FV
anything we know to the contrary. The
agglomerahon may be facilitated by
smoke in the air. If it be really true that
rains have been produced by great battles,
we may say with confidence that they were
produced by the smoke from the burning
powder rising into the clouds and forming
nuclei for the agglomeration into drops,
and not by the mere explosion If this be
the case, it was the smoke and not the
sound that brought the rain.
In conclusion Prof Newcomb declares
that, if we ever do learn to make rain, it
will be by accepting and applying laws
governing heat, force and yap0r as laid
down by science rather than in ignoring
them.

AN ALABASTER QUARRY.
One of tho Most Remarkable Discoveries
of Mineral Deposit for Years.

DENVER, Feb. 24.--News has just
reached this city of one of the most re-
markable discoveries in America of the
present year. The find is an alabaster
quarry, the ledge being of great thick
ness and extending for miles in the foot
hills near Canon City, and party of
gentlemen who have visited the place
say that blocks of any size that it is pos
sible for the ingenuity of man to handle
can readily be quarried.
The specimens shown vary from the
perfect white to every possible tint of
the rainbow. Some Of it will stand q
pre- sure of 10000 pounds to the square
inch, and it all takes on beautiful pol
ish. A portion of it makes most mer-
chantable plaster of paris, while the
brown varieties can be used in hy-
draulic cement. Rumor has it that a
Dutch, New York and St. Louis syndi-
cate have an option on the property at
what sounds like fabulous price.
