NEW WAY OF MAKING RAIN.
Showers Said to Be Produced by Dust
Particles and Not by Noise.

Showers Said to Be Produced by Dust
Particles and Not by Noise.
Professor Blake, of the Electrical En-
ginering Department of the Kansas State
University, is the author of theory for
the artificial production of rain that is
creating great deal of interest, and steps
are being taken to give it a thorough test.
Professor Blake's attention was first
called to the subject by the Government
experiments, and he says that General
0yrenfOrth had performed three expert
mentS at an average cost of $4,000, and
that the main idea of Dyrenforth seemed
TO be to produce big noise.
Professor Blake says that if sound
produced rain the fall should be stimuli.
taneous, and that the fall of rain during
4 shower with a fash of lightning, could
not be the result of the flash or noise.
He further says that while General Dyren-
forth's experiment had apparently sue.
ceeded the rain was caused not by the con-
cussion, but by the minute particles of
dust thrown into the air by the mortars
used in the explosion.
Professor Blake has performed several
experiments showing that clouds of vapor
could be produced by cooling gas if there
were dust particles in the air, but not
when the air was free from these. The
result of experiments tends to show that
certain elements are more favorable for
condensing rain drops than others, such
rs carbon, sulphur, and fine silica They
must be thrown with some force into the
upper layer of the air and in not too
large numbers

ACTOR FLORENCE DEAD.
The Famous Comedian Passes Away al
PhiladeIphta.

Philadelphia.
The illness of William ]. Florence, at
Philadelphia, terminated fatally on
Thursday night last. His death was due
to heart failure, after the crisis of his
fever had passed.
Florence was one of the most popular
rs well as successful of American actors.
lie was known everywhere as Billy"
Florence, and his geniality and generosity
were proverbial. He would at any time
give the last dollar in his pocket to one
who seemed to need it, and he gave away
untold thousands of dollars in charity.
His real name was William j. Conlin.
and he was born in Albany in 1881. He
played part on the stage as baby, and
was literally brought up before the foot
lights. In 1858 he married Miss Malirna
FRAY, and for years they starred together,
he playing the character of Irish boy to
her Yankee girl. Later, he had no rival
In such characters as bob Briefly, {"
Captain Cutie, "Sir Lucius O'Trig-
ger, etc. AS Hon. Bardwell Slote, 1"
ln the Mighty Dollar, he achieved an
immense success, and he made half a
million dollars from it.
For the past few years Florence had
appeared with Joe Jefferson in high COM
edy, with great success.
Florence was Mason, and founded the
Order Of the Mystic Shrine in this coun-
try, having received the symbols from
the khedive of Egypt on a visit to that
country.

HOW SEVEN FASHIONS ORI
GINATED.

Charles VII, of France had o
pair of ill-made legs. He wore a
long coat to conceal them, and 30
everybody else wore long coats.
Alexander the Great had a twist
IN his neck. 1t was therefore
fashionable for every one on that
monarch's court to carry his neck
the same way.
The peruke is said to be due to
the misfortune of Philip, Duke of
Burgundy. His hair fell out, and
his phylclanS advised him to cover
his head with artificial hair.
Francis l., of France was struck
on the chin with a piece of tile. Of
course. the wounded part could not
be shaved. Thus boards came
again into fashion, after having
been out for nearly a century.
During the reign of George Ill.
the Duke of York had duel with
Col. LennOx, and the worthy COL
onel succeeded in shooting away
one Of the Dukes curls. 1t at once
became the correct thing to wear a
curl on one side of the temple on
ly.
The custom of the cardinals of
Rome of wearing red hats to cere-
mOuies and professions was intro
duced by Pope Innocent w as a
symbol to indicate the readiness of
the cardinals to spill their blood
for Jesus Christ.
When Fox, the first of Qaakers,
was sitting in church and the
preacher said anything be did not
like, he moved soIemnly, put on
his hat and kept it on until the
disagreeable remarks concluded.
Thus arose the Quaker custom of
wearing hats in church.-Ladies'

BRITISH LIBERAL POLITICS.
An English Tenants Rights Bill I'm
the Platform,

the Platform.
y London dispatch says: The Liberal
leaders have decided to incorporated in the
platform approved at the Newcastle con-
ference an English Tenants Right bill.
This decision is one of the most import
antsteps that the responsible chiefs of the
party have ever taken. The question of
ameliorating the position of British farm
ers by giving them greater security
for their capital and freedom from har-
assing covenants imposed by landlords
have long been recognized as ripening to.
ward Liberal legislation.
The magnitude of the Liberal victory in
South Motion and the conviction that the
capture of the rural vote by the Liberals
will lead them to overwhelming success
in the general elections, have lifted the
measure in favor of tenant farmers into
the front rank of Liberal proposals.
This resolution on the part of the Lib
erals has been fastened by the movement
Of the Conservatives in the same direction.

May Is:
"All over the states and even into the

been quoted. We have had letters
from varied and wide directions asking
for desired proof of our assertions on
the Mckinley bill. We have gladly
given them, and now to save further
correspondence we must insist on a
visit to our place of business for further
explanations. As an instance of the
condition, without delaying to interpret
the cause, we are selling regular 64x64
print at cents. A year ago they were
Z cents; regular count gingham now 10

His Always and Everywhere.

The name of Christian will only give
us influence as we manifest in our lives
that we realize the grandeur Of our
calling and act worthily Of it. We
may be content with a religion which
has little power over our daily conduct.
We need to remember constantly that
we belong to Christ. Would" says
one, shat we could feel more that we
are His always and everywhere; not
His on Sunday and in the sanctuary
and our own on Monday in the market,
but His in work and in play, alone or
in society, by the Preside and in the
street; His to reflect His character and
show forth His praise! Thus inter-
preted and illustrated this name would
become indeed a power in the earth. q
name to charm with Men would be-
lieve perforce in the reality Of saint
hood and in the power Of the Gospel if
they saw it thus practically manifested
in the lives OF the saints. "-Christian

A dollar in the devils hand is big
enough to hide the sun.
You never find man well treated
where Gods laws are broken.
The deliverance that God gives is
always God-like and unexpected.
To have God with us in promise is
to have Him with us in reality.
Our prayers only go as far as our
hands and feet are willing to follow.
Men sometimes try to build with
untempered mortar, but God never
does.
The man who undertakes to de-
ceive God will not be true to his fellow
men.
God never sends q man anywhere
where it is not for his own highest good
to go.
Aman who will deliberately run away
from God is not to be trusted anywhere.
No coward can get to Heaven. The
tree of life is for him that overcom-
eth"
The only thing that will use an enc
my up completely is love. Love never
fails.
No man has grain Of religion who
is trying to see how little he can get
along with.
The only people who are discomfort
ed are those who are not doing their
whole duty.
1t is a thousand times better to have
our paradise at the end of life than il Is
at the beginning.
Every promise in the Bible is sol.
der with drawn sword, ready to fight
for the man Of God.
People like to travel in cheerful com
pany. Ifyou are on your way to Heav
en-, show it by your manner.
1t is probably easier for God to stop
the sun than it is to stop the man who
has been all his life travelling in one
way.
There is no better opportunity iY life
to show the quality of your religion
than when You have an enemy in youI
