the Central Pacific. l began to think about
the matter. / knew what the district IS,
and if that rain by any means had been
precipitated there. one might logically
hope TO bring about a thunder storm IN
hades, so [ undertook the task-that Is. L
went 10 Texas and tried producing RAIN
there.
II carried with me sixty balloons, each
about ten feet in diameter when expanded I;
hundred kites five feet tall. carload Of
wooden mortars TO fire bombs from, ana
many thousands of pounds of dynamite,
gunpowder, nitro-gelatine and other pow
erfui agents for agltating the atmosphere.
Each balloon holds 525 cubic feet Of
gas-a third oxygen and two-thirds hydro
gen-and upon being inflated ascends I'M
der control of 8 double wire. which serves
instead of rope TO hold 1t by. When 1t
reaches the desired height the button Of
an electric instrument on the ground is
touched, a spark ignites the fuse IN the
balloon, and the oxygen and hydrogen
suddenly combine with terrific explosion.
Each kite is held by double wire.
Their tails carry dynamite and other ex-
ploslyes, which are set OF in the same way
by electric spark.
The idea of this, you understand, is
that Just as water reduced below certain
temperature may hold ice in solution. and
still ice viii not form so long as the vessel
containing the water remains perfectly
quiescent. capitalization taking place only
as the water is disturbed, so the air may
hold moisture in solution, which will be
precipitated by violent conclusion. The
explosive power of hydrogen and oxygen
is great a soap bubble tlled with q mix
ture OF gas, two parts of the former and
one of the latter, explodes like the report
of a pistol. With the explosion the gases
mix and form drop of water, so that by
using this rather than any other eNplo-
sive, we have produced in the atmosphere
a nucleus which, according to the nebule
theory that like gathers like, operates also
to gather rain.
AFTER the experience in Texas | think
the venture unquestionably promises sue
cess. The cost has not been enormous.
All, or all but some inconsiderabe parts OF
my apparatus, is manufactured, and L
have spent less than one-half the govern
ment's appropriation, 5000 Every
natural condition was against me. We,
went TO a quarter of Texas where the wind
blows at such a rate that operating our
balloons was like reasoning with iunatlc
or arguing with bucking broncho. We
had to build tanks in which 10 form the
gas, and after doing this one of them burst
and had 10 be rebuilt.
1T has been said that atmospheric con-
dltlons worked with US. This is directly
opposite to the truth. All but four of our
first experiments were made with rising
barometer. The cowboys. who know ten
times more about the subject than those
special advisory agents of providence or
weather matters, our bureau officials, to
man declared for fair weather. The night
of our last experiment the weather was so
pronOuncedly fixed to be fair that one cow
boy took me aside a friend and urged me
not to try that night. He said had done so
well up 10 the present time; 1t was pity to

OBJECT TEACHING.

Object teaching was put to good use at Chautauqua the past season, where model housekeeping was shown in practical oper- ation for the benefit of the seriously mind ed students that attend this assembly. Not only were the practical details of gen eral housewifery amply illustrated, but the important problem of the best prepa- ration of food was given the prominence which it deserves. A practical demon stration that 'most delicious and delicate desserts'' can be made at cost of only one and half cents plate is also reported, together with the following remarks by the chief exponent of improved cookery, which are worth quoting because of their eminently truthful and sensible na- ture "We pass over the soup at dinner, because it is slop. We cannot eat the meat and vegetables because they are imperfectIy cooked, and we devour pastry only because of the flavor; hence 8 nation of dyspeptics. Cook knowledge as broad land of ours." Cooking schools have always come in for large share of good natured ridicule, which has been often wholly undeserved, for many of them have attempted to show the great mass of the people, whose incomes are limited, that good living is more matter of good cook ing than of large expense, and in this most needed work they deserve not only fair treatment, but commendation.
