The Late Mrs. s. M. Whiting.


 At meeting of the executive committee of the New Haven Baptist Foreign mission conference, Saturday afternoon, May 3, the following resolutions were presented and unanimously adopted: =.
 It having been the will of God to take to himself our beloved president, we the members of the New Haven Baptist For eign mission conference, feel deep sense of, bereavement from this stroke which leavess1s lonely and without leader In this dark hour we are even more than ever sensible of what power among us, was this most noble woman, who for a long period has given all her time and strength to the promotion of tho great cause to which her life was long since devoted. For eleven years missionary in an especi- ally hard and dark field, she returned to her native land only under the stern pressure of ruined health should she remain in Assam. But it was only . change of locality, not of life purpose. Through this entire state Mrs. Whiting has been for very many years an ever living inspiration to the Baptist sisterhood on the theme of foreign missions. What she has really accomplished in the great cause of Christian woman's work for heathen wom- en can never in this world be fully esti- mated. When SO efficient and consecrated a standard bearer falls we may well mourn, and can only pray that he whose grace so grandly equipped her for service may in due time supply the wide void in our ranks

In accordance with this idea he au-

see for receiving and displaying the
daily forecasts.
In a town or community where
these forecasts are desired it is only

EDITOR STANDARD: The farmers
of Stones River are very much con-
cerned at present on the subject of
roads from this point to McMinn-
vile. We dislike all that part of the
present road from the Glasscock
farm to McMinnville. The hills are
such that it is impossible to haul
much of load of wheat; and again
the farmers complain of the road
from here to the barrens. You see it
Is very apparent that something
shall be done by the business men of
McMinnville, as well as this county.
Those who seem to know the country,
are of the opinion that a road should
run up Hill's Creek from this town.
and when it reaches the barrens at
Woods church, it would be better to
run direct to Spidel's store, and there
crossing the present road, run to Joe
Prater's, and thence to Creed Tay>
lor's, in Warren County; thence to
the Jim Spurlock place, and on to
near the old Ben Thomas farm, and
thence to McMinnville. A road can
be opened on that route without a
hill, except getting out of the Stones
River hills. If your business men
will make an effort in the right di-
rection it will be to the advantage OF
all who may be concerned.
Let us hear from them soon.
Yours, ETC.,

"There is weeping on earth for the lost,
There is bowling in grief to the ground,
But rejoicing and praise mid the sancti.

For spirit in paradise found
Though brightness has passed from the

Yet star is new born in the sky,
And soul has gone home to the land of
its birth
Where are pleasures and fullness of Joy
And new harp is strung, and new song
is given
To the breezes that float Ger the gardens
of Heaven"

READY-MADE RAIN.
How Heavy Showers Were Produced
in Drouthy Texas.

MIDLAND, Tex, Aug. 25.--At
least three closely related theories are
recognized and acted upon by rain
makers in their experiments. Stated
briefly and bereft of technical terms
they are as follow:
First, it is believed that the forma-
ton of many transforms is begun by
the mingling of warm moisture-la-
den currents of the upper air strata
with the cooler currents which flow
near them and frequently in opposite
directions. Such currents can be
found in any locality, and it is be-
lieved that the enormous air waves
which are produced by explosions in
the upper air start them to so ming
ling. AS the warm current is cooled
its moisture is squeezed out of it as
from a sponge, and condenses into
the form of clouds and finally rain
drops. The process is progressive
one, and from small beginning will
multiply upon itself.
In the second place, it is thought
that the conclusion from the eXplo'
sions tends to shake together or ag
glomerate the particles of moisture in
the air.
Thirdly, the great amount of fric
ton between particles of air and also
those of the earth. This generates
large quantities of electricity anC
causes a polarization between thu
earth and clouds, and this probably
produces a magnetic field, which
tends to gather together the particle
of moisture.
The aim is to cause explosion
which shall most efficiently ant
economically produce the condition
and results.
To mingle the upper air current
balloons filled with oXyhydrogen ga
are exploded at a great height. TIL
balloon is first spread on the groun,
and filled one-third full of oxygel
gas, which is made by passing retort
containing chlorate Of potash and
little black oxide of mangares
through gasoline furnace, and a
lowing the gas to escape in a was
barrel to the balloon. The partially
filled balloon is then attached by
pipe to the hydrogen apparatus
which consists If large tanks contain
ing hon filings and water, into whic
sulphuric acid is slowly decanteC
The acid separates the water into il
gases-hydrogen and oXygen-th
. oxygen combines with the iron, leaN
ing the hydrogen gas free to pas
through a wash barrel to the balloon
When the balloon is thus filled a di
i charging cap is inserted, and to
wire is attached, through which a
7 electric current is passed when ii
l proper altitude has been reached.
For Earring together the moistul
in the air explosions of dynami
: cartridges attached to kites are Ell
> ployed, and other explosives al
IL fired on the ground at short int
: walls.
