COLLECTING THE DATA.
Mr.. Wall Making Postoffice and Railway
Map of the State

]. Sutton Wall, Chief of the Land Bureau
in the Interior Department at Harrisburg,
is in the city, the guest of R. II. d. Hartrick.
With the last railroad report the Secretary
of Internal Affairs issued map showing all
the lines in the State. 1t was paid for by
voluntary contributions and was much ap-
preciated by the people. Mr.. Wall says it
was badly needed, ana in this respect Penn
sylvania had been behind other States. Mr.
wall is preparing a new map, which will
be more elaborate for the next re-
port. lie is here to collect the
data from the railroad officials. 1t is in
tended to be postoffice and railway guide
of the State. All the lines with the stations
and postoftices will be given. The value of
such map is apparent. 1t frequently hap
pens that the names of stations are changed
and Mr.. Wall is making a note of them all.
He says the wealth Of the State is increas-
ing rapidly every year. In the reports the
land is assessed according to its real value,
and this swells the figures. In former years
1t was the custom of people to undervalue
their real estate. He thinks the agricultural
interests are not being neglected by the
farmers In the eastern section the grangers
are paying considerable attention to horti-
culture and the raising of garden truck.
There is money in the culture of fruit trees,
and Mr.. Wall is surprised that the farmers
did not realize it long ago.

NEW NATIONAL GUARD STORES.
Adjutant General McCIelland Ready to Sup
DIV Soldiers With Eouipments,

Word was received from Harrisburg yes
terday that the Adjutant General had ready
for issue to the Second Brigade an unlimited
number of rubber blankets, a limited num-
Der of McKeever cartridge boxes, haver-
sacks and bayonet scabbards. This will be
welcome news for many of the company
commanders of the Second Brigade
For the past two years 1t has been prac-
ticalIy impossible to get any of these neces-
sary stores, and for two years before that
the chances were that a requtsition sent to
Harrisburg would bring down instead of
new articles a lot of stores that had been
turned in by disbanded companies that
lands course in providing new stores is
highly approved by the guard. The goods
are paid for by the companies receiving
them.

UNCLE JERRY's EXPERIMENT.

A report, which may be called pre-
liminary, has been received from the
rain-compelling expedition sent out to
Texas by the Secretary Of Agricultural.
Although this report lacks official in
dorsement, coming in the form a special
dispatch TO the Dallas NelCS, it is full
perhaps even too full-Of encourage
mont for the success of Mr.. RUsK'S en-
terprise. According to this story. the
apparatus was set up on Monday and n
few bombs exploded on the ground,
"simply 10 test the efficiency Of the
special blasting powder" The result
was surprising. Ten hours after the
explosion there came on storm Of rain
which EXTENDED over a space OF 1000
soua-e miles" and continued six hours.
If such success in producing rain fol-
lows the casual setting of of few
bombs on the ground, with no intention
of disturbing the natural conditions Of
tho weather, it Is TO be feared that
nothing short Of deluge will follow
when Secretary RUSK begins the bonn
bardment Of the upper atmosphere with
his oxy-hydrogen balloons. The 'de-
cisive experiment" will be postponed
for a few days, the report states, while
the members of the expedition ''will
continue cautiously TO make tests as TO
the density Of the atmosphere"
We advise Texas to stand from under
when Uncle JERRY gets ready to touch
'er off.
