RAIN FOR THE ARID REGIONS.

The only attempts to produce rain artif-
cially which deserve serious attenti on just
now are those conducted, or about
to be conducted by General Dyren-
forth under Government auspices. Before
many weeks, possible within a few
days the public may learn something ofthe
result Of his experiments, which, it is
believed from unofficial information, are
being tried in Western Texas, near Mid
lands. Nature rewards persistent inves-
tigation, sometimes, with such happy
surprises, that it wOuld b. rash, at present,
to venture any decided opinion as to The
outcome of this interesting test. 1t is in
order, however, to mention some of the
considerations which enter into the ques-
ton.
The heaviest natural rainfall occurs in
those parts of the globe where air heavily
laden with vapor-and it will carry the
more the warmer it isis in some manner
greatly cooled. Two stations famous in
this regard are Mahableshwar and Chera-
punje, in India. The summer monsoon
there is a hot, very moist, tropical wind,
drawn in from the Indian Ocean, and
forced upward by contact with mountains

will be further illustrated if one compares
the mean relative humidity of certain

THE DE LESSEPS SCANDAL,
from the Victoria ColoniSt
paris Corr. Of New York Worldly

= Nf'6 ~ ~ ~ 'CAA@sJ
While Count Ferdinand &c Lesseps contin-
ue8 to ride with his children in the Bots de
Boulonge, and while Countess de Lesseps gives
brilliant musical soirees. the Panama stock
holders are trying to find some method by
which work may be resumed and the canal
finished. Last Sunday the Central Committee
of these unfortunate subscribers passed a reso-
luton that the French Government autho-
rize NJ. Christophle, general manager Of the
Credit Foncier to promote a new canal com
pny. Every effort made by the victims Of
Panama is interesting, but these "resolutions,'
these 'plans," are purely platonic manifesto
tons. Government in the present state Of
affairs cannot give the least aid; Government
cannot influence the public to furnish 0G,000,-
0Q0f, the amount Bonaparte Wyse considers
absolutely necessary to finish the work.
Last year Mr.. Wyse went to Colombia in or
der to negotiate for a prolongation of the con-
cession and at the same time obtain new facili-
ties from the Colombian Government. Yester-
day he told me that five years and 600, 000, 000f
are necessary for piercing the Isthmus of Pana-
ma. This very skilful engineer says; "Not-
withstanding past misfortunes | believe this
money can be found, and 1 also believe that be-
fore the end of this century the canal will have
an income sufficient to give reasonable returns
to the new society, at the same time that the
old shareholders receive a certain proportion"
Mr.. Wyse is hopeful and foresees the forma-
ion of a powerful Franoo-Amerioan group
that VIII complete the gigantic work attempted
by Count de Lesseps.
In the meantime public feeling is sootLed by
the announcement that Count de Lesseps and
bis Board Of Directors are at lastto be prosecuted.

region of Honor be and his colleagues will be
tried before the Court of appeals. The prosecu

is supposed to have been hidden underneath
the castle vaults. In one of these a number of
cases, chests and bundles were discovered.
The contract for the demolition of the castle
stipulated that in the event Of the discovery OF
any precious metals half the treasure should
belong to the state. The engineer promptly
notified the Brazilian government. His mem
oranda enumerated the following articles taken
from the vaults: One hundred and twelve
wooden boxes, with iron clasps, weighing $50
kilos each four cast iron chests. weighing Gl5
kilos each sixteen leather sacks sewed, weigh
ing 80 kilos each SOC packages of ~parchments,
with a total weight of 1857 kilos. Three
boxes containing papers of Is packages
were slightly damaged. An examination Of
the contents of these chests and packages re-
suited in a most astonishing find. One hun
bred and twelve wooden cases contained gold
andmoney to the valueofS70 900, 000in theshape
Of old Portuguese cruzades ~(ancient mitles,
worth about 50 cents each) and the accounting
of the treasure is verified by the documents
found in the cases. Among the papers found
was a receipt of Friar Decarte Anton, superior
of the order of Jesuits, acknowledging the receipt
of 10000, 900 cruzades in gold to be turned over
to Don John V, as a tribute of honor upon his
voyage to Brazil. These 90, 900. 900, together

ed in four iron chests and 945 kilos of gold bars,
vessels and richly worked ornaments were to go
to Portugal aboard the royal squadrons of ca
ravels and galleons which, under The command
Of Don Sebastion, was to touch at Brazil
enroute to Lisbon. It is said when, i'll the last
century, Marquis Pombat, the great Portuguese
statesman, demanded the remittance Of the
above named sum, Father Anton buried the
treasure in the vaults of his monastery and
denied that it had ever been in his possession,
declaring that it had been taken away during
the previous reign. In consequence of this
denial, which did not deceive the Marquis, the
Jesuits were expelled from Brazil and Portu-
gal. The twenty-six packages found contained
a variety of precious stones, whose value can
not be stated, as they have not yet been ap.
praised, 1t is something enormous, however.
The excavations about the castle have not been
finished, and the discovery Of new treasures
