The Rain Industry.

Denver News: Among the attendants at
the mining congress was A. b. Montgomery,
general manager Of the Interstate Artificial
Rain company OF Goodland, Has. Mr.. Mont
Romery enthusiastically proclairns that he is
the people with a large capital p, but be
wraps himself up In mystery when requested
10 tell something about the kind Of a water
Ing pot the concern uses. He wouldn't even
describe the outward appearances OF the Rp-
paratus or the operation, even that part
which must be brought into view when the
company attempts to do anything IN public.
1.-THE rain comes with the wind" he said
darkly, thereby suggesting that the concern
had machine TO make wind. Anyway, Mr..
Montgomery claims that successful expert
ments have demonstrated that his company
can bring rain in thirty-siX hours and that
ex-senator Farwell of Chicago is going 10
make arrangements to have regular showers
ground out on his big property In northern
Texas.

HOME EVENTS.
The New Heating Apparatus.

The public school building has had new
heating fixtures put In. Mr. j. j. Ray of
Hamburg, Ia, was contracted with 10 over
haul, repair and remedy the defects of the
steam heating arrangements of the building.
He came and examined the works, made the
estimate and went TO Kansas City for the
necessary piping,letc. His estimate was SO
correct that he had no lack and none to
return. Three-inch pipe was substituted
for the cid two aud one-half, and various
notifications were made. The repairs
prove entirely satisfactory. The fires
were started about p. IN. Monday
and we examined the works on
Tuesday about the same hour. The entire
building was completely warmed and every
radiator was hot. The janitor said that the
two heatings of Monday and Tuesday only
consumed about the same amount of coal as
one heating under th5 old regimen, thus
making clean saving OF 100 per cent. The
gauge only showed five pounds of steam
and yet there was plenty of warmth for a
very cool day. We think the repair has
been eminentiy successful. Mr.. Ray re-
ceives 800 for the Job which will be saved in
fuel alone during the coming winter.

The Daiv Case.

The case of r. L. Mcdonald & Co. vs.. W.
B. Swisher, a replevin suit embracing
number OF cases has been grinding along for
nearly week. 1t was agreed between cOun-
sci to try, as test case, one of these eases
and that all ether cases Of replevin, but not
of attachment, should follow this case.
These cases are all connected with the Daily
failure, and the case stands w. w. B.
Swisher, the Sherman County bank principal
defendant. It would not be good taste to
draw a conclusion before the case Is ended.
The bank account with w. Ii. Daily Was
genuine and correct as far AS we could
Judge. The counsel for the plaintiff proceeds
on the theory that there was ii conspiracy to
defraud, and endeavors to implicate the
Sherman County bank. Ellis of Reloit, Has,
is the counsel for plaintiff, aud Wilson and
Scott of Oberlin, kas., together with Pratt
of Norton, Kas., aud +. +. Murphy OF Good
land, on the defense. The case WAS tried 10

When "a Zig Rope snaps.

Few people know the danger of standing
near taut lines or hawSerS. have seen haw-
serS snap with pistol like report under a tre-
mendous strain and knock men twenty or
thirty feet, frequently breaking arms and
legs The best hawSerS are made of sea
grass, and will bear an enormous strain.
They will stretch until their diameter is
diminished by more than half In the recent
gorge disaster noticed a remarkable illus
tration of this point, The sectional docks
were held TO the shore by an enormous line,
four inches in diameter and fully 100 yards
long. | afterward learned that it was 70
years old and cost 5000 Well, the fe be-
gan to bear down on the docks. The old
hawSer behaved like a Trojan and began to
stretch and crcak. The men got out of its
way, but the Old line held together, growing
smaller and smaller as the thousands Of
pounds were added 10 the strain. In little
while the line was not larger than girls
wrist, and it remained in that perilous state
for several hours, when the gorge finally
broke and allowed the ice TO float down
stream. Afterwarl the hawSer rct.rned TO
its normal size, not weakened a bit. Such
cables must always be made to order, and
they cost lots of money. The line of which
speak is the largest on the Mississippi

The volume we now have before us for
1886 embraces thirty-one distinct almanacS.
Eleven of these are in English, calculated
for various countries where English is spoken;
five in Spanish, for different countries where
Spanish is spoken; three Portuguese, also for
different countries: two French, four Ger
man, two Dutch and one each in Swedish,
NOrwegian-D Danish, Bohemian and Welsh.
Each of these allnanacs contains from twenty
four to thirty-six pages generally thirty-six),
so that the bound volume of the series for
1888 makes a book of nearly 1000 pages.
Much of the material is, of course, the same
in all of the editions, but the recorded events
in the calemders are local to the countries
where the almanac Is to be circulated, and
the miscellaneous information furnished for
example i'll the Indian almanac, differs from
that prepared for the Australian almanac
Philadelphia Ledger.
