BOMBARDlNG THE CLOUDS.

Small Bombs for the Use of Farmers
Needing Rain.
A company engaged in the manufac-
ture of explosives has for sale now
small bombs about the size of frank
furter sausages, with which the far
mer can bring down small showers of
rain whenever he sees clouds over his
land
The constituents Of the bomb are di-
vidcd into two parts, liquid and solid,
which are both separately nom
explosive. These can be kept separate
until the time comes to use them, when
they are mixed.
The solid part is about an inch in di-
nmeter and eight inches in length, and
is wrapped in cotton. These bombs are
placed in grooved tin boxes. each hold
ing ten. A small tin measure, contain
ing the liquid part, accompanies each
box 1t is graduated to show the guam
tity needed to saturate the bomb to the
exploding point
Five or fifty bombs may be used, nc.
cording to the amount of rain needed or
dctonation required. How the farmer
is to know how much dctonation is
needed is a dubious matter The bombs
are tied in q bundle, n time-fuse is at
tachcd and the whole lot discharged
from Il mortar and at the passing cloud
In hilly countries clouds often pass
over the valleys and discharge their
contents on the barren mountain sides.
in such regions, it is said the bombs
will be particularly useful

area, Feat. of strrngth.

London has been entertained lately by feats of strength that are certainly re markable and probably unsurpassed in modern times. First there was a man named Sandow, who was an enormously powerful man; he was succeeded by Sampson, and he in turn by an Irish American named Sullivan. Cautiously, the three names begin with the letter $, which is also the initial of strength, ' and of the Greek word for strength (sthenos), Sullivan, the latest conner, is thirty years of age, stands feet SA inches in height, and weighs 16S pounds. His appearance presents little that is un. usual in the way of muscular develop ment, and his biceps are neither very large nor wonderfully rigid. It is in his neck and jaw that his strength chiefly lies, and the majority of his feats are such as bring this peculiarity into special prominence.
 At an exhibition given in London he fastened chain to 56-pound weight, and the other end being griped be- tween his teeth, swung himself around and around until the twirling chain as- sumed a nearly horizontal line The feat was repeated with the weight doubled, and as the performer, with both hands to his hips and using every sinew in his frame, swirled around and around the audience wondered with anxiety what would happen if one of the links should fly asunder. The most remarkable feat, however, that Sullivan performed was the lifting of an elephant by his teeth. It was baby" 'tis true but it weighed about l.S00 pounds and was lifted clear three inches from the ground, it's whole weight pendent from the jaw of the man above.
 Sullivan was not successful in an at. tempt to break chain with his arm, having injured this limb on the previous night. He succeeded, however, in prov ing that his prowess was not entirely confined to feats with his teeth by lift. ing barrel of water, weighing 56O pounds, with the middle finger of his right hand. -Harper's Young People.

THE GREAT FRUIT BELT.

The valley of the Salt liver has been celebrated for years as the fruit belt Of the southwest, and the fact will be readily conceded by all who have had experience in the matter, that the fruits of this district are superior in flavor to those produced anywhere else in the country.
 But the disadvantage under which the district has labored, up to very few years ago, has been in the fact that only interior varieties of fruits were cultivated here. The people of Ari- zona, cut of as they were from com munication with the rest of the couu- try, and almost completely isolated from the world, had not the advantage of the progress that had been made in fruit culture as we'll as in everything else, during the last decade, and consequently when the railroad pene trated this region and the American immigrant came in, he found the stand ard of horticulture in the territory about the same as had been with our foreiathers century ago. The bet ter varieties of fruits were then soon introduced, and the new orchards are only just beginning to bear, but the small quantity of improved fruit that has already been sent abroad has been sufficient to show the favor with which it is received, and to remove all doubt of the fact that few years hence, when the fruits of this valley become known to the public they will not rank second in the markets 6f the world to those of any other district of the American con tinent.
 There are thousands of acres conven- tent to Phoenix still to be purchased at comparatively low prices, which are fully as we'll adapted to this purpose as any that have yet been utilized, and which only require planting and culti- vating to make them as valuable as any in the country. There is no opening for man of moderate capital, in any part of the country, that promisesa bet ter return than fruit farm in the Salt River valley.

A Rare Find in Ral,imorn.

A few days ago Mrs. Andrew Reid, Jr., of Mount Vernon place, who is a native of France, and whose brother is an artist in Paris, made one of the rich est art discoveries that has ever come tc light in Baltimore. Mrs. Reid is a great lover of art and knows a good picture when she sees one. For long time she has been in the habit of hunting through secondhand stores for old paintings Several days ago. by chance, she walked into store on North Charles street There she saw dilapidated looking old picture, which represented the head of a French peasant. At first she did not pay much attention to the picture, but went on to examine the other old things in the store. By chance she returned to the picture, and it struck her as being a remarkably fine piece of art work. She turned it over and looked on the back, and there was the artists name Before her was one of the most valuable pictures in Baltimore.
 She immediately called the dealer and asked the price of the picture. He stag. gered her by asking twenty dollars. She paid the price, took the picture home with her, and now it cannot be bought for less than thousands.
 It was rich find, truly. as there are only two other pictures in Baltimore by the same artist. The picture is by Jean Baptiste Greuze, and on the back of it is Jean Baptiste Greuze, l725 to 1s0S." MT. William T. Walters owns one of the pictures, for which he paid big price, and MT. Leonce Robillon owns the other. Mir. Walters viewed Mrs. Reid's picture yesterday and pronounced it genuine. He says it is worth thousands of dollars Baltimore American.
