The editor betrays more faith in Mr..
Ruggles rain-maker than the artist
shows, for he has furnished the "indi-
vidual" with a silk tile and refused
him the charity Of an umbrella.
Regarding Senator Farwell's efforts
the Scientific American says:
ITO us the most practical result
likely to follow from these expert
ments is the extraction of money from
the public treasury. We have seen
how easy it was to obtain the first
$4,000 to aid the chimera.
i asked them to put in the rain
appropriation just as an accOmmOda-
ton to me- says the Senator, 'and
they did it. Nobody in the House
cared to see what No. II, little APP
preparation anyhow, was, and it
passed.
THE idea that rain can be precip-
itated by cannOn-flring is almost as
old as gunpOwder; but while there
are many curious condolences there
is no satisfactory evidence that rain
was so produced. 1t is on par with
the Chinese mode of conquering the
enemy by making loud noise.
1T is true downpOur often follows
Il clap Of thunder; but this does not
prove the rain was produced by the
conclusion. On the contrary, we
know that rain probably results from
the cooling of moisture-laden air. and
simultaneously electricity may APP
pear. Hence in thunderstorms the
aerial conclusions are most probably
the results, not the cause, of rain
formation.
Mature works on vast scale in
producing rain; and it is idle to sup
pose that the burning Of a little eX-
ploSiye matter can materially affect
the boundless atmosphere OF the
skies.
I'm certain sense it may be
claimed that rain always follows an
explosion, since all atmospheric
changes are successive. If to-day is
fair, fire gun and it will rain either
tomorrow or some following day. If
to-day is rainy, fire gun and it will
be fair either tomorrow or after
ward. There appears to be just as
much sense in appropriating public
money for explosives to produce dry
ness in Alaska as TO make rain by
similar means in Texas"

A Thriving Place.

An up-country gentleman was rid

ter, and as they passed through Il
railroad yard at station Of large di-
mansions the old gent was noticed to
be closely remarking certain signs and
omens in white letters on the sides Of
freight cars. Suddenly turning to
the young lady he launched this utter
ance into her astonished ear: Great

the word implies.
He plays the most difficult compost
tions on the piano and organ with as
much ease as trained musician could.
The first time he attracted attention
to his great natural talent was when
he was about three years OF age, and
shortly after his parents had pur-
chased an organ. His mother, upon
entering the room one day, was sur
prised at seeing the youthful musician
standing at the organ, working the
pedal with one foot and executing, as
well as his baby fingers would per-
NIT, one OF the familiar re-
ligious hymns which she herself
had been playing. The little fell

progress. Shortly after the discovery

Ing struck her as being SO remarkable
that she offered to instruct it in all
the branches, but the parents would
not consent, preferring to wait until
Walter was more matured. At the
teachers advice, however, they eX-
changed the organ for a piano, and
the new instrument seems to suit the
youngster much better than the 9th
er. Another remarkable thing about
the boy is his memory for tunes. He
goes to church with his parents, hears
hymn entirely new TO him, and with
few hours practice reprOduces it
upon his piano. He enjoys his talent
very much and is never happier than
when perched upon piano stool and
playing some Of the bright, catchy
airs that he hears on the streets.
His surroundings also cOnduce to his
spending much OF his time at the
piano. His home is situated within
the Enclosure Of the deaf and dumb
institute, and Walters playmates arc
only the little victims Of an unkind
nature. Walter says they cant talk
wifi their moufS," and that he prefers
playing his piano TO playing with his
afflicted neighbors. He is wonder
fully bright intellectually, and is a
very handsome child, having almost a
classical face, surmOunted by dark
brown locks. His sparkling blue eyes
light up his striking face, and his
robust frame and general healthy
appearance indicate the making Of
strong man. His only pet is beau
tifully marked shepherd dog that he
calls Quiz" He and Quiz" are al
most inseparable, and when his mas
ter is playing the dog seems TO enjoy
the music as much if not more than
does Walter.

too, IL in favor of the forts. An
ascending squadron would find the
heads of the vessels tending toward

teries. Merchant steamers going up

mouths Of the guns OF Kilid Bahr.
A fleet would be met as 1t advanced

ward Chanak, it would be raked fore

Eighteen Hundred To an Inch.

1t will not, perhaps, be remembered
that in the great exhibition of 1851 a
specimen Of iron paper was exhibited.
Immediately lively competition en-
sued among iron-masters as to the
thinness TO which iron could be rolled.
One ironmaker rolled sheets the aver
age thickness of which was the 1880
part OF an inch. In other words, /, 800
sheets OF this iron, piled one upon

VIII the African Elephant Work :?

In modern times, we have only to
look to India to be convinced Of the
great usefulness of the elephant. To
the agriculturist, who uses him be-
fore his wagon or his pillow, he is in
dispensable, and for the transporta-
ton OF heavy articles, he has no
equal. We see him carrying i'm
menSe tree-trunks out OF the Indian
forest, and by his indefatigable in
dustry, In picking up and carrying of
large stones, aiding the construction
Of roads and railways. For labor OF
this kind coolie receives from four
rupees are paid fer the daily work OF
an elephant. From this fact, we con-
clude that one elephant performs the
work of from twelve to twenty-five
coolies.
From the record of the British ex-
petition against King Theodore OF
Abyssinia in 1868, we learn that
forty-four elephants were shipped
from Bombay to use in the campaign.
Each animal was in charge Of two
men. OF this number five succumbed
during the campaign. The remain
ing thirty-nine rendered valuable SER
vices, being intrusted with the trans
portation, through mountainous
country, Of cannon, ammunition and
supplies. 1t was frequently very diff
flcult to procure proper food for them,
and as it was often necessary to
traverse great distances to reach the
watering places, the death Of the five
animals is ascribed to these hard.
ships. Although elephants move
slowly through a mountainous coun-
try and soon become foot-sorc, they
performed their task with admirable
faithfulness. Without them it would
have been necessary to await the
building of wagon roads. - Gold

Killed by Albatrosscs.

During the passage Of Il Nova Scotia
bark which is now in Liverpool q
most extraordinary affair is reported
to have occurred, showing alike the
ferocious and dangerous proclivities
of the albatross. The bark had Just
got out OF the latitude where rough
weather is always encountered, states
the Pail Mall Gazette, and was sail
ing with a fair wind, when the cry Of
Man Overheard" was sounded
throughout the ship. The unfortunate
fellow was Dane, one OF the crew,
and he was seen at short distance
breasting the waves. The bark was
brought round, answering her helm
instantly. and the vessel was soon on
her way TO the struggling man. Sud-
denly two large albatrosses were seen
to descend with an eagle-like swoop
and attack the poor fellow in a ter
riblc manner. Both birds dashed at
him, and to those on board the YES
sci IL seemed as If they were endeav-
oring to gOuge out his eyes with their
hooked bills, while with their wings
they kept beating the unfortunate
man about the head. The sight was
a terrible one, but did not last long,
rs thJ bark sailed over the course
where the Dane had fallen overheard
about seven minutes before, but he
was nowhere TO be seen. There was
no doubt in the minds of those on
board that the poor fellow was killed
by the albatrosses, as he was a pow
erful swimmer and seemed to fight
desperately for few moments with
the ferocious birds.

IeanneSs.

Some persons are born with a nor
NAL tendency to become fat, others
with tendency to leanneSS. 1t is
the same among the lower animals.
The hog is a sort Of machine for
transforming the odds and ends Of
food into fat; but the farmer knows
beforehand that little pig with long
legs and snout will work off the fat
as fast as it can be made. So a long
legged person seldom inclines to
obesity.
Temperament has much to do with
the bodily condition in this respect.
In Emphatic people the life processes
are slow, and the fat is largely depos-
tied, rather than burned. This tenn
permanent furnishes some Of the best
types Of surface-beauty. The person
OF nervous temperament, on the
other hand, by excessive activity of
body and mind, and by predisposition
TO haste, worry, fret and Impotence,
naturally remains lean; but while the
features Of such Il person will proba-
bly, lack sOftness and roundness Of
outline, they may exhibit in a marked
degree the higher beauties Of mind
and soul.
People who incline to obesity may
hold the tendency in check by appro-
pirate food and stirring exercise in
the open air, thus both lesSening the
amount OF fat-forming food taken in
to the system, and causing more
rapid consumption Of such fat as is
produced; and those who incline to
undue leanness, by pursuing the op-
posite course, may largely increase
the amount Of fat deposited.
If the leanness is the result Of di-
gestive weakness, or of faulty assim-
ilation, little, Of course, can be done
until a condition Of general health
has been secured. But assuming
that the abnormal leanness is con-
nected with high health, what adj
vice must be given?
First, let the carbonaceous, or fat
forming, food greatly preponderate
over the nitrOgenous-such as beef,
lamb and Goldfish. Calling the fat
forming elements of beef twenty,
lamb thirty-fve, and Goldfish five,
those Of pork will be fifty; beans,
fifty-seven; peas, sixty; oats, sixty
six; wheat, siXty-nine; corn and rye,
each seventy-two, rice, eighty, and
butter, one hundred.
OF course it would not do to take a
single carbonaceous article and live
on it, for the entire body is to be kept
in high health by the proper nourish-
ment Of all the tissues. However,
the system can be well supported in
full vigor by vegetable diet, with
the addition Of milk, eggs and butter.
In the second place, cultivate calm
ness and QuietnesS in feeling and
manner. Avoid impatience and fret.
Do not overwork with mind or body.
We may add that tea-drinking tends
to leanness. If possible, milk should
be substituted.-You Companion.
