Do TIE Explosions of Caano" Produce

There seems to be general opinion pre-
yailing that the discharges OF artillery pro-
duce rain, and the fact that rain occurs
during or immediate after battles Is ciaimsu;
IL is not "A fact that all battles are a'tehueu

cannonading that every occurred IN The MS

There must be considerable moisture in the
air, and that moisture must be condensed
before rain is reduced. and that condensa
| ton is produced by reduction of tempera-
ture. That's natures way.-Sdunton Spec
| tdfOr.
1t is a generally accepted theory that can
nonading produces rain, and rain did sue
coed many battles of the late war. The
writer of the foregoing is under the impress
sion that rain did not Immediately follow
the great battle of Gettysburg. In this he
is mistaken There was tremendous down
pour the day that Gen. Lees army left Get
tysburg A part of the Confederate train
was turned aside from the direct road to Ha-
gerstown during the storm and captured
and the writer of this paragraph recalls the
fact that on the return from Gettysburg thai
day he was near being drowned in crossing
mountain torrent-the result of the heavy
rain.

the morning when the grocer opened
the front door red streak OF IA dog
shot between his legs and heightened
out down the road until lost in a little
cloud OF dust. Rather astonished and
with some misgivings. the grocer pro-
ceeded into the store. The first step
over the threshold his foot went into
something sticky. and each step gave
evidence OF something other than the
customary white sand spread over the
floor. When the shutters were taken
down the light disclosed about an inch
of molasscs flowed evenly all
over the floor. Further exam
nation showed that though that
dog might have been poor and friend
less. for once In his life he had had
night OF it. He had licked at the
faucet in the molasses barrel until that
had opened and the molasses all ran
out Besides that he had taken u chew
of everything chewable within reach;
Goldfish. pork. hams smoked beef and
sausage were strewn about in the mo-
lasses. and everything that could be
upset had been tumbled over as he
jumped from one thing to another to
keep out OF tho molasses food. The
counter and show case were all stuck
up where he had tracked molasses
over them. As the grocer surveyed
the situation he said something that
he mover learned at camp meeting. and
from that time stray dogs found a very
stony place in his heart
A few days after the events above
took place "a caravan OF gypsies went
