ATTEMPT To MAKE IT RAIN.-The
Washington correspondent of the Alexan-
dria Gazette Says
"Western Kansas in about three weeks
ia to be bombarded by delegation of sci
entific men sent out by the government,
who will endeavor by artificial means to
make rain. They will take with them six
ty balloons, each ten feet in diameter and
filed with oxygen and hydrogen gas; one
hundred kites five feet high, whose tails
are to be loaded with dynamite, and score
or two of great wooden mortars, from
which dynamite can be exploded. A dry
desert is to be selected, and line, as of
battle, two miles long, will be formed.
The balloons, to which wires are to be at
tacbed, will be sent up, and by electric
spark the gases will be combined with a
terrific explosion. The mortars will bel
low for about three days. The experiment
will probably cost So, OO0."
We have but little faith in the success Of
this mode of producing rain. The mois-
ture in the air must be condensed to pro-
duce rain, and those explosions may cause
mechanical compression and cause small
amount of deposition locally. If there
be moisture in the air, as there always
is, more or less, and the temperature BIT
reduced to suhcien degree, there will be
rain. If any mode can be devised to thus
reduce the temperature, then rain may BIZ
produced artifcially. That is the mode
that Nature employs. The air sustains
moisture in proportion to its temperature
The higher the temperature the more mois
ture it sustains, and the lower the temper
AZURE, the Jess it sustains. The moisture
in the air is condensed by reduction Of
temperature.

Dudley near Long Glade, Terry had unhitch-
ed his horses from pillow in q field he was
ploughing to return them to the stable for the
night. He was heard calling to the horses en-
deavoring, as is supposed, to stop them. The
horses ran with him to the entrance of the
deld.where they were found standing with poor
Terry's body horribly managled. lying behind
them. One OF the traces was wound around
his leg. and the line several times around his
| body. Death came to his relief in few mo-
ments after the horses halted. The deceased
was an industrious and respected yonng man,
and leaves wife and five children of tender
age.

Ben Franklin once made the statement,
SCHOOLS teach us the rudiments OF language.
but books teach us how to think; therefore, no
man is truly educ ated unless he Is q reader Of
books" Ben was right, but he lived in an age
when books were SO scarce. comparatively
speaking. that but little Of the pernicious In
literature was tolerated. But In these days II
Is different. Your boys thirst for a knawledg e
of the world. and If you don't give them some
wholesome reading to slake that thirst, they
will get hold of cheap. sensational stories that
will poison their minds and do them terrible
injury.
There is such vast amount of this trashy
stuff being poured into the market at the pres
emit time. that 1t is a relief to pick up a new
book thatlis at once thrilling, romantic, whole
some, pure and true.
Such O work Is Footprints OF the Worlds
History" the latest and greatest work of the
two celebrated historians, John Clark Ridpath
and VIM. s. Bryan. These distinguished gen
tlemen. having won their laurels by tndepend-
ent writings, have CO operated on this work,
and produced ''gem of the purest ray
SERENE" 1t is not q dry uninterestine state
ment of the plain facts, but rather each OF the
most important events of history has been
taken up and described by master of Iangu-
age, who holds the reader entranced as he
wends his way along the path OF history, fol-
lowing carefully in the footprints of progress.
We are delighted with this superb volume.
Perfect in thought.superb in style. and magnif.
icent in execution. The bindings are sumptu-
Gus, as are also the many illustrations and
colored plates. The Publishers have rightly
concluded that such gem should have rich
setting.
1t is a valuable addition to literature. 1t is a
book for the old as well as the young; the
married as well as the single; the gay "a we'll
as the grave. Everybody will read it with
equal eagerness and profit. 1t is sold only
through agents. and the Publishers advertiser
ment appears in another column.
