MIDLAND. Tex, Aug. 1870 Dyrontorths
party Of rain makers are jubilant today. The
first important EXPERIMENTS have met with
great success. A rain fell for moro than six
hours yesterday. and they declare that il was
undoubtedly caused by the explosion OF oxy-
hydrogen balloons rackarock powder. and
dynamite. At Q o'clock yesterday afternoon
large balloon was sent up at the
ranch. where the mon OF science have

twenty-il miles from this town. The balloon

severe clap OF thunder. There were only .
few white clouds floating in the blue sky atths

or mariner would have said that 1t would not

ten minutes after the balloon was exploded.
The rain was very heavy, and the centre OF the
storm was over the ranch. According to re-
ports from the ranchmen and employees along
the line Of the Texas and Pacific Railroad the
storm extended over an area OF not less than
1000 square miles. 1t is hard to get definite
reports and 1t may have reached further.
The noise OF the explosion was heard plainly
at Midland. and even at ranches forty miles
from the scene Of the experiments. The peo-
pie thought II was thunder. At about o'clock
this evening several more explosions were
heard here. Tho experimenters were undouht.

inside OF halt an hour, and 1t began to rain at
z 40 o'clock. 1t looks now as II it would rain
all night.
This region. as rule. is very dry. and It 10
exceedingly unusual to have much rain at this
season Of the year. The ralnmakers are sure
that they have stolen the secret Of Jupiter
PlGvius. and say they can flood this country at
an hours notice. Their greatest experiment,
when they will explode u tremendous lot OF
balloons. kites. and dynamite. will probably
not take place until Friday. The ranchmen
and town weather prophets don't believe tho
storm was made by the rain producers but
Con. Dyrenforth says he will convince the most
skeptical In a day or two.
