The atmosphere has rs yet proved,
comparatively speaking, an unknown

A short timo ago balloons charged
with oxygen and hydrogen were sent
up high In tho air, and by means Of
dynamite explosions ON them 1t was
hoped that abundant rains would ba

prove successful, because, to have tho
desired effect, certain atmospheric
conditions should exist, thus making
the scheme u matter OF chance.

THE LOGAN "nEyoLUrIoS.p

A LITTER 10 the Tines by Mr..
Calvin Reasoner will be found In our
