BETTING IN NEW YORK.

Making "BlufYs."
The following matter has been issued from
democratic national headquarters in New York:
The froth and bubble of the republicans in
betting. which was exploited Saturday and lasted
until last night. was lost sight of completely
today. The very shallow design was to have
offered very large bets in central places, when
there would be 10 proposition to meet them, as
bets for amounts up to Is 900 have boon freely
offered by democrats on the general result
every day for two weeks without takers, besides
countless offers of 2 to on New York. The
democrats caught OH today. This morning
Controller Theodore Myers of New York was in
public way offered by prominent Iepubli-
can-Mr. Comyns-$25, 900 on Harrison. Myers
promptly responded. producing five certified
checks for 5000 each. when Mr.. Comyns said
he was only Joking.
This evening at the Hoffman House man
from Philadelphia entered the crowd in the
lobby and loudly offered from $4,000 to
ESQ, 900 on the general result in favor Of Har-
rison Offers were at once made to him to di-
vide his bet into separate ones of $4,000 even.
but those he refused. Thirty minutes later
Edward Murphy, chairman of the New York
democratic state committee appeared hunting
for the Philadelphian. offering to take him
without odds for $50 900 on Cleveland. The
Philadelphia had disappeared, and Mr.. Muir
ply registered the offer for takers, to stand
till election day.

Our Resources In Clay.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your letter from Laurel published in q
recent issue of The STAR there is a mention Of
valuable clay beds lying along the line of the
Washington Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. The region living between that road
and the Baltimore and Potomac, and easily &C
cessibie by short lateral branches from one or
the other of those roads, seems to be especially
rich in tine extent and variety Of its beds of
clay. some of which may prove available for
finer uses than any to which our CLAWS have yet
been put manufacturer in search Of this
kind Of raw material might profitably make a
prospecting excursion Of some miles along the
Telegraph road leading from Bladensburg to
Annapolis. In addition to the red clay, which
is quite abundant, there is one of a somewhat
remarkable wilderness, of which there are in
dications of considerable beds within few
miles from Bladensburg. Whether they are Of
sufficient purity and thickness for profitable
working is point which an expect could. no
doubt, readily determine. E.T.P.

The recent announcement in Tue STAR that

ton of consistency at least.

To the It';;cr e The Evening Star:
The noise of the recent rainmaking expert
ments must have attracted the notice of every
resident and sojourner in Washington. With
out prosuning to instruct the many who are
already familiar with the subject l would like
TO saw few words to those, probably much
more numerous. who. while sharing in tho ex-
pense Of these experiments. have given little or
no attention 20 the scientific principles in
VOWED.
Ii we could cool the atmosphere over our
heads when Il Ia saturated with moisture a
cloud or mist would be generated, which. col
Letting il drops, would finally fall rain.
But il. on the contrary. we should heat the
moist air the state of saturation would no longer
exist and "a condition unfavorable to rain would
be established. Now, explosions not only de-
yelup intense local heat, but the energy OF the
atmosp Ee-ic vibrations which constitute sound
is i:self rapidly converted into heat. that a
certain rise of temperature is caused as far as
the sound extends. Moreover conclusions tend
To break up drops already formed and restore
them 10 their previous state Of minute particles
suspended in the air. The manufacturers OF
AL engine using the spray of petroleum as fuel
have discovered by experiment that mere
current of air Is far less effectusi in converting
petroleum into spray than a forcible impact
of the iir upon the liquid, and by utilizing tina
principle they have been able to effect great
Improvement in their machine. more
familiar example is found in the fact that vio-
lent agitation is the agent usually employed in
making medicinal and other emulsions.
Ii follows. therefore. that both in the incipi-
, ent stage Of cloud formation and later when the
misty particles are eoalescing into drops explo-
sloas somewhat retard the genesis of rain. and
diminish to some extent the quantity which il
finally precipitatcd. If we must have such
weather medicines they should be used to pre-
vent floods and not to obviate drought. But
so vast are the operations Of nature as com.
pared with the resources of man that it may
well be doubted whether few pounds, or even
few thousand tons, OF nitro-explosive can pro-
duce results Of this kind that are appreciable.
Very truly yours, 8. l. NJ.
