The Rain-Making Scheme.

Col. D. T. Casper of the signal
service thinks that there may be
something in the idea that rain can
be produced by means of dynamite
explosions, and speaks favorably OF
the proposed experiments in that
line to be made by the Government.
Many people will, as a matter of
course, pronounce the scheme pre-
posterous,. but, after all, it may
prove as practical as was franklin g
suggestion that lightning might be
broughtunderh human control. Pos
sibly, q few years hence, rain-mak-
ing bureau will be attached to the
signal service, and expert cloud
creators will be in demand by the
Government. When Colorado, Ari-
IONA, and other western States, which
are now as barren of vegetation as
the great Sahara desert, will bloom
like a vast garden, then there will be
no droughts, and no failure of crops
through lack of moisture. and then
forests and prairie fires will be speed
lily extinguished.

Strangers at Washington Re.
CeptiOnS.


New York Tribune
The Washington receptions where
strangers come and go unknown to
the host and hostess, some with in
vitations and some without, have
often been described. The latest
story is about a reception given in
the palatial house of a rich Senator.
He is not fond of society, but is per-
fectly willingto have his wife enter
tain the whole world if she wis hes.
During this particular reception his
house was packed from basement to
garrett with a chattering, lively
crowd. The Senator in one of the
rear drawing-rooms had fallen into
favorits fit of abstraction, and
with his hands clasped behind him
was walking up and do wn thinking
possibly of SO me affair of business,
when he was approached by q man
who did not recognize him as the
host and tapped him on the shout
der as he said: Say, pard, you seem
to be something of stranger here
yourself. There is not O soul in the
house that I know. lam trying to
find some one to work for drink"

Romance of a Silver Dollar
New York Evening Sum-


A few days ago q Buffalo man in
buying some articles, received in his
change silver dollar. Something
in the way the piece struck the
counter attracted his attention, and
he rang it a second time. He looked
closely at it. The face of the god
dess upon it looked up at him with
the most honest eyes in the world
Then he called the shopkeeper's at.
tention to. the way it struck the
wsod. It sounded like lead, but it
surely looked like silver. He finally
pocketed the piece, but went on
bordering about the, strange con-
tradition in it's sound and in tslook:
A few hours afterward he happened
to be in a bank, and drawing the
dollar out of his pocket, he asked
one of the clerks to look at it. He,
too, acknowledged the queerness of
the coin, but could not explain it.
Another clerk came up, and still
another, and had spin att. Sud
denly in the midst of the investiga-
ton, the face of the dollar sprang
up like the lid of a locket, and inside
appeared the face of a pretty WON
an. Here was bit of romance
sure enough! One of the clerks in
stantly recognized the face as that
of the young wife of a prominent
man, to whom note was dispatched
acking him to come down and get
back his picture dollar by exchang-
ing solid one for it. It is perhaps,
needless to say that he went at once,
and that his anxiety to keep the
matter from his wife's ears was not
regarded.
