LYNN. sir. said the old man to a
New York Evening Sun reporter, is
a habit. sir, rs YOU well know, sir.
Time was, sir, when lynn was dis
gustin' to me, but that sir. was many
Il day ago.
Behind the Old school house which
I went to as boy was an old mill run
by horse power. There was one old
mule that used to work night and day
When l first went to the school the
ground was level and smooth. But
the old mule soon began to push her
hoofs into the soft earth 10 she went
round and round, hour after hour day
after day, week after week.
1T wasn't so very long before there
was q pretty deep rut, whar the old
mule kept on goin' round and round.
Then they put some fresh earth in the
rut and filed it up, but before the old
mule had been gOin' round much
longer thar was the same old rut
again, only deeper. Then the old
mule began to get old like all the rest
OF us. And one day they took her out
to do some easy work. but she couldn't
90 except in 4 circle. So she upset
the wagon and frightened the ladies
and kept on goin' round and round.
so then they put her back at the
mill. and she went round and round
until she fell down in the old rut and
died. And that is how it is sir, and
l suppose III keep on in the same cir
Gle until l die, sir. and then when old
st. Peter asks me to put my name
down IN the book l guess III put it
down wrong, and ask for a crown two

department OF agriculture reached
Midland Wednesday last. Yesterday
a reporter interviewed ono Of the
party who made the following state
ment: Saturday and Monday last
past one OF the rain making apparatus
only was set up and preliminary
trial made, simply 90 test the efficiency
of the special blasting powder which
is being manufactured on the grounds
from material brought with US. Sew
eral bombs were exploded b. means
of electrical dynamos. Although this
powder IS very powerful. we were by
no means confident taSt the eXplo-
sions would have any practical
effect upon the meteorologi-
cal conditions. However. about
ten hours after the explosions clouds
gathered and heavy rain fell, extend
ing many miles. We do not think the
explosions actually produced the
storm, as they were not on large
enough scale. but they undoubtedly
were instrumental in precipitating the
moisture which the clouds brought TO
that locality and greatly increased tho
intensity of the storm and the quantity
of the rainfall. which was greatest in
the immediate vicinity of the place Of
operation. We will continue to make
tests as to the density of the atmos-
Phere in this particular locality. so
that our bombs may be adapted to
meet every possible condition, and
when we have sufficiently satisfied
ourselves upon these and similar points
the decisive experiment will be made,
which will not be yet for several days. :"
