unburst, and were found several miles
south. One was seen travelling toward
Washington City. Only few kites with
small amount of dynamite and rock
powder were sent up. The experiments
were made on the ground, both at regular
and extremely irregular intervals and this
was mostly done by cowboys. The first
rain that fell after their arrival was on
the 18th, before they made any expert
ment, yet the Dyrenforth dispatches re-
ported it as a heavy rain at the ranch as
result of the experiments. They did
not begin to prepare their material for
making gas until the 14th, and at that
date the balloons were not even I'M
packed. The fact is the wind had been
in the southeast for some time, which is a
sure indication of rain, and there was a
good deal of rain through this section at
that time"

IT appears by no means likely that the
seal fisheries dispute will be speedily set
tied, notwithstanding the fact that it has
been agreed to submit it to arbitration.
Such settlement means a recognition OF
all the claims this government has ever set
up. As long as it is an open question
Canadian poachers can trespass to the
extent of making an illegal catch of about
10000 seals per season. The Canadians,
therefore, will throw all possible obstacles
in the way of an early settlement OF the
troubles, for 10000 seal skinn,ss11leeaII1
acquired, are much dearer] x Tho Canadian

FACTS AND The RAlN.MAKERS.

Gen. Dry, etc., the rain maker for
the government, has actually gone to
New York's Croton river watershed to
examine into "the conditions" there for
producing artificial rain fall.
In this aye of remarkable discovery and
ingenious inventions, it is not strange that
very large percentage of people are pre-
pared to accept as true almost anything
in the way of innovation, but this rain
making scheme must be taken cum grano
salls-in fact, with great deal OF salt, and
that straight! A great deal of fuss and
feathers were stirred up over Gen. Dyren-
forth's alleged successes on the dry plains
OF Texas, but from later and better author
ity it is evident that the .$9,O 900 appropriate
ed by congress for that little job was so
much good money thrown to the winds.
DR.. W. K. Curtis, of Lano, Texas, was
on hand as dsnterested scientist to
witness these rain making tests and in
the course OF lengthy article just pub
lished he characterizes the thing as
botchwork, a burlesque on science and
common sense. The writer then pro-
ceeds:
"The facts are, that neither the aero
naut nor anybody else made balloon
ascension while on the plains. The ex-
pertinent Of making heavy explosions in
the upper air was never perfected, as only
five balloons we're inflated and sent up
during their dry state. Of these only
two exploded. The others foated away

A TALK WITH Mr.. BLAINE.

To the Editor OF the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, Nov. 19.-The American
people have been very much concerned
for some time past about the health OF
our distinguished secretary of state, and
l shared their anxiety. | sought and OBJ
tanned an interview by appointment with
him during my recent visit to Washing
ton. I am glad to say that the grasp of
his hand was as warm, the flash of his
eyes as bright, the sound of his voice as
resonant and his manner as magnetic as
when first met him ten years ago. |
asked him particularly about his health,
he assured me he was well and from the
celebrity of his movements | saw no reason
to doubt his word. Immediately after
the usual courtesies be began to make
particular inquiries about New Mexico
and whether the climate was as fine as
he had been given to understand. He
was much pleased. when Governor Prince,
who was present, and | assured him that
it was impossible to exaggerate tie beauty
and salubrity of our favored territory's
climate. | asked him why he could not
pay us visit and judge for himself, and
his reply was, cit is impossible, as l can
not DO here and there at the same time,
and my duty demands my presence
here" From conversing on New Mex
leo the transition was easy to speak
about Spanish-America and the great
continental railroad. | learned more
about that mighty undertaking in few
minutes conversation with him than |
had previously done in all l had read
about it. He assured us that The prelimi-
nary surveys were being vigorously and
successfully prosecuted, and that the
completion of the entire work was GER
tain in the near future if it was not in
terrupted by some hostile administration
