were obtained, from practical point Of
view, although General Dvrenfunh and
Professor John l.. Ellis claim thut the
scientific correctness of their theory was
prvcn heyond doubt. The lombard
ment was exceedingly heavy and was
equal 10 that attending d great battle,
There were 5000 pounds Of ruselite OK
plodcd bv the ground batteries which
were in action until midnight The most
effective work was done by thu hydro
gen oxygen balloons. ten Of them being
exploded at attitudes vt FROM 2OuN to
oNh feet There were nlsu 10 shells
exploded IN mid air The sky remained
perfectly clear until il3O o'clock when
II was observed that clouds were forming
Immediately overhead. These clouds
grew In density aud the barometer, which
had been risihg up TO that hour began
20 fall RAPIDLY The wind had been blow
ing from the south all the evening. but its
course was nov changed aud the new
formation of clouds were driven south.
This phenomena continued until l2;JO
o'clock when a strong wind nguin sprung
un from the south aud soon Dispersed
Al . o'clock the heavens;ryorc uguin
overcast with clouds and a strong effort
WIS made to shake down toe ruiu by

results were obtained furt ser than u
