Raiu.Makinu Schemes.

Professor Carl Myers, of Utica, N. Y,
has been in Washington consulting with
Government officials regarding the put
ting into operation of scheme for pro-
noting rainfalls in arid regions or dur
ing periods of prolonged drought by pro-
ducing conclusion in the upper atmos-
phere. Congress at its last session made
special appropriation for experiments
in this direction, and Professor Myers
has been called into consultation as an
expert.
1t has been observed for many years
that storms or raiufalls usually follow
conclusions of the atmosphere, as dur
ing battles, bombardments, explosions
and the like. Acting upon this knowl-
edge Professor Myers proposes expert
menting with balloons, which are them
selves to be explosive bombs, being in
fated with one part of oxygen gas and
two Of hydrogen, which mixture when
fred produces one of the most violent
cxnloslons known to science He will
begin operations with one hundred bal
looms of various sizes as soon as they can
be prepared.
The result of these experiments viii.
be watched with a great deal of Interest,"
1t is known, of course, in a general way,
that a rainfall is the immediate result OF
the condensation of body of aqueous
vapor, very much as water is expelled
from a wet sponge by squeezing 1t. The
ordinary phenomenon attending this con-
densatlon is lowering Of temperature,
and the problem which Professor Myers
will seek to solve is whether the same
effect may be produced by conclusion.
The fact that thunder storms are usually
accompanied by rain would seem to in
dictate that there is at least some ground
of reasonableness in the conclusion
theory.
II it be demonstrated that rain may be
produced by conclusion, the discovery
NAV revolutionize the character of many
parts of the globe The rainles' desert
of Sahara need no longer be rainlesS, and

freshed with frequent showers. The ex-

Words That Are In Use.

There are a large number of words
which, until recently, have escaped the
attention Of photographers. In the text
OF the Encyclopedia Britannica there are
10, 900 words which have never been for
merly entered and defined in any die
tionary. In the Century Dictionary there
are 10000 words found in no other.
This fact shows the unrealiEed wealth Of
the English language. 1t takes a child
several years TO acquire 1000 words. The
average illiterate person never uses more
than from 1000 to 1000 words. Intelli-
gent persons, even those engaged in the
learned professions, do not make use of
more than from 5000 to 5000 words all
told, although there are properly belong
ing to the English language over 225,-
goo. The Shakespearean standard was
less than $500 words, not counting those
that are compounded and hyphcnated.
However, the famous writer or authority
Of to-day, whether he uses words TO ex-
press nice shades of meaning or as techni.
cal tools of thought in his own depart.
ment, must have at his command a vo-
cabulary of from 30, 900 to 40, 900 words,
the latter being the maximum acquired
by any man now living. Memphis Com.

The claim promises to be paying one,
and already she has uncovered body of

richer ore as depth is gained.
Mrs. Shane is a soldiers widow, aud is
a lady of fine education. Her cabin in
Jawbone Gulch bears evidence Of refine
ment, and while 1t is in one of the most
out-of-the-way places in the camp, she
has any number of visitors, among whom
will be found the best people of Silver
Crown and the surrounding country.
To Judge from appearance she is about
thirty-fve years old. She has brown
hair, blue eyes, and fair and intellectual
face. For the past year she has been
teaching the Silver Grown public school,
by which means she has made her living
while waiting for her mine to reach pay.
