Tie Rice of Iudio.

In India rice is planted and reapcd
each month of the year. The staple
crop, however, is sown from April to
June, transplanted from June to August
and gathered from November to january.
Since rice is almost the only food of mil
hons of the Inhabitants, and as there is
an export duty on it, comparatively little
goes, to foreign countries, and yet the
amount exported in 1889 was %, 1885,
229 hundred weight, and in 1892, 26.-
774.251 hundred weight. Reports ARE
not full as 70 the acreage devoted to rice
culture, but the returns already show
81 ,4S7, 1893 acres devoted to rice alone.

sound and motion from tho conclusion,
and that the smoke, which is supposed
by some to have some bearing, may also
be present. There viii be large kites,
from six to twelve feet high, which will
be sent aloft bearing a bunch of explo-
sives nc their tails and connected by q
fine copper wire with battery. In or
der to go the required height with these
they will be "driven tandem, attaching
the end of rs much line as the first one
will carry to the second kite and sending
both on up, attaching the second to the
third, and SO on. This plan will also be
pursued where necessary in getting bal
looms with wires attached to the neces-
sary height.
The mortars planted and the kites in
mir, the balloons will be sent up, at a
distance of say 1000 feet apart, aud the
racket will begin. 1t is the intention to
keep up this din to the god of rain for
two or three days, or perhaps longer,
noting the atmospheric changes, both on
earth and in the air at various heights,
constantly rs the ''battle" goes on.
These observations will be taken and
officially and scientifically noted, both as
to atmospheric and electrical conditions.
There is enough of the sound-producing
material to hold about three of these
''battles."
The party will take 100 balloons, from
ten to twenty feet in diameter, aud ca
pable of holding from 500 to 5000 cubic
feet of gas; hundreds of kites, from six
to twelve feet high, miles of copper
wire, quantities of nitro glyccrine aud
dynamite and powder, batteries for gem
Grating electricity, and machinery for
generating hydrogen and oxygen.
The experiment is not in any way
"crankism." Congress directed that it
be done, and it is said that hundred
members of that body believe in the
theory underlying it. Assistant Sccre-
tary Willetts, who was directed to carry
it out, himself scholarly man, found
the best suited men he could for the I'M
mediate work, and he is taking hold of
it intelligently, willing to acceps what
ever result may follow, but determined
to omit no effort for success .-Phitaael-

The Gastric .Juice.

A physician is authority for the follow
ing statements in regard to the action OF
the gastric juice on microbes: "The
empty stomach of healthy man con-
tains innumerablc organisms. The gas
trio juice, and principally one, hydro
chloric acid, possesses microbicide prop
critics. The microbes take no active
part in digestion. Persons who, on ac-
count OF some affections, secrete little
hydrochlorie acid, are easily intoxicated
by means of the micro orgauisms in the
the stomach. Therefore, the stomach
should not remain in an empty condition
for any length of time, and during an
epidemic food should be taken at fire..
auent intervals, and, if possible, steril.

AocoRDNe to the st. Louis Globe.
Democrat fiend in human guise has
invented an electrical alarm that will
run for two hours after getting started
unless its victim gets out of bed and
turnc it off. The ld-fashioned alarm
clock would run for five minutes or SO
and then man could turn over and 90
to sleep again. It allowed its owner
to set it OF night and then to change
his mind in the morning. But the
new device is memorable. The man
who sets it must get up ut the hour
specified, unless he has previously
died in his sleep. A well-known prin-
ciple of ancient justice should be APP
piled to its inventor. He should be
compelled to have one of his own
clocks setting at his bedside every
night, set for 4 o'clock in the morning.

A DELUGE In SPAIN.
TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION OF LIFE
AND PROPERTY.
Large Districts Devastated-Cities Swept
Away and the Inhabitants Drowned.
Two Thousand Persons Perish in the
Province of Toledo.

MADRID, Sept. 14.-Serious floods and
storms are reported in various parts OF
Spain. Railway communication is in
terrupted at several points. The Amar-
guillo overAowed its banks, destroying
the town of Consuegra, and flooding
several villages. The work Of relieving
the destitute in the flooded districts is
very difficult. The floods derailed o
train near Castillege, and one person
was killed and three injured. A house
collapsed at Toledo, and six persons were
crushed to death. Many people were
drowned.
Official information received here
fronathe scene of the foods now devas-
tating the province of Toledo states that
1000 people perished and that an inn
mense amount of damage has been done.
Official kilograms report that 1900
persons perished in the destruction of
Consuegra by the overflow of the
Amarguillo. Hundreds of others were
injured by falling buildings, and enor-
nous numbers of cattle persisted. At
other places many persons weredrowned
and much property damaged.
The cabinet met today and decided to
take measures for the relief of the desti-
tute. News comes in slowly from the
flooded districts, each succeeding dis
patch adding to the public sadness.
Fresh floods are reported in Almeria
and Rada Jose. Four hundred houses
were destroyed in Ameria and many
families are hOmelase
Five hundred houses are in ruins at
Consuegra, and the occupants are buried
under the debris. Two hundred bodies
have already been recovered. Many
persons are dying of hunger.
The moment the queen received the
news she sent the superintendent Of the
palace to Madrid, and thence to Con-
suegra, to distribute money, clothes and
provisions among the sufferers, and she
herself gave $4,000 to start the relief
fund.

Of foreign Office confirmation of the
reports, and until the details of the
action OF the British warships are
known, the full significance of the move
ment cannot b, revealed. 1t can be
SEATED on high authority, how
ever. that Sir William White
asked the sultan to assist the British oc-
cupation of some point within striking
distance OF the straits, and offering
good harborage. Tendos and Besika
bay, where the fleet rendezvoueed from
rs to '78 have been surveyed recently,
and were reported 60 the admiralty ad-
versely.
The offer made, the sultan revived the
request which the British government
made in III, prior to the acquisition of
Cyprus, to purchase an island near the
Dardanelles. This project was long SUBJ
ject of negotiations and was abandoned
on the signing of the Anglo-Turkishc con-
Tention in June, 1878. The seizing OF
Sigri, therefore, cannot have occurred
without the connivance of the sultan.
An official announcement was issued
in Constantinople, yesterday, that a
complete entente had been arranged be-
tween Sir William White and the sui
tan, but the terms of the restored har-
mony were not mentioned.
The intimation that the seizure of the
island would be followed by fortifca-
tions is modified by Berlin report to-
night that Lord Salisbury does not con-
template the occupation of the island,
but has designed the movement rather
as a demonstration to checkmate the
Franco Russian game. The movement
accentuates the diplomatic crisis.
Admiral Haskins, In command OF the
British Mediterranean squadron, is
about to be replaced by Admiral Tryon,
who hoisted his flag in '57 on the Nile,
and who sailed from Portsmouth for
Gibraltar ION Friday to take over the

DON'T LIKE THE RAISE.
San Francisco Supervisors Ignore tn
Board of Equalization's Action.

San Francisco Supervisors Ignore the
Board of Equalization's Action.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 14.-The board
of supervisors tonight instructed the
assessor not to pay any attention to the
recent order of the state board of equal
ization to increase the municipal as
sessment thirty per cent.
Supervisor Ellert submitted long
report from the finance committee, in
which the action of the state equalizers
was declared farcical and unjust. The
committee did not believe that the
increase could be legally applied to the
assessment for city and county purposes
at San Francisco. The recommendation
of the report was that the auditor should
be directed not to add to the valuation
of the property for city and county
purposes, as such action would be with
out legal authority, therefore illegal and
void, and jeopardizing the validity of
the assessment.
The adoption of the report was moved
by Supervisor Ellert, who limited that
100000 people had their eyes upon the
board, and were eagerly awaiting some
action which would relieve them of
further burdensome taxation.
When the vote was taken on the adop-
ton of the report, it was lost by 6 to 5.
The vote was reconsidered the report
and adopted by vote of to 3.

Even the leaders cannot say with GER

but it is thought that if the friends OF
Governor Hill feel that the point has
been reached where there is fairly
clear chance of success for a hurrah
movement in Governor Hills renomina-
tion, the attempt wilt be made. Flow
er's friends are very confident.
At meeting OF the Democratic state
committee tonight the resignation of
John b: Boorhis, which was received
Immediately preceding the New York
election in 1888, was taken from the
table and accepted. He was then elect
ed to represent the eighth congressional
district on the state committee.
When the roll was called for delegates,
it gave Tammany hall full represen-
tation of seventy-two delegates. The
county Democracy committeeman were
amazed, and to the interrogation, the
clerk replied that the only list of dele
gates from the New York counties which
he read, was the Tammany list. Foster
moved that the county Democracy be al
lowed half the delegates on prelim-
mary roll call. Then there
was hot debate, and Tammany
urged that there was serious danger
in any recognition of the county Dem
ocracy by the state convention. They
urged that giving delegates to the
county Democracy meant giving the in
spectors to Tom Platt at the next presi-
Dental election, at three out of every
four election districts in New York city.
The motion to give the counties" one
half OF the representation was lost, and
the county Democracy members with
drew.
