FACTS ABOUT THE RAINFALL.

How the Quantity of Rain IL Measured.
when and Where It Is Heaviest, Etc.
When, by the constant condensation Of
aqueous vapor, the individual vapor vesi
cles become larger and heavier, and when
finally individual vesicles unite, they form
regular drops which fall as rain. At great
heights raindrops are very small, but they
increase as they fall, for from their low
temperature they condense on their sur.
face the aqueous vapor Of the layers Of air
through which they fall. The quantity Of
rain which falls annually in any given
place, or the annual rainfall, is measured
by means Of rain gauge or pluviometer.
The simplest form Of rain gauge consists
Of funnel which has u certain definite
area, twelve square inches for example, and
which fits in bottle. The rain which

AMAZOSS Is WAR.

fCAicago Nc,-' Record


"The most warlike and powerful OF
the African states will be thing Of the
past before the end Of another month"
This is what Col Dodds wrote TO the
home government when reporting the
progress he had made in the campaign
against Behauzin, king Of Dahomey.
The entire civilized world win hail with
delight the downfall OF this blood-thirsty
savage, whose entire reign has been
marked by the most unheard Of crueties
both toward his own subjects aud the
neighboring tribes.
This war has been brought about by
violation OF pledges on the part Of
Behanlln. Al the close OF the war OF
1889 France made treaty with the king,
by which, in consideration OF an annual
pension of 90, 90 francs, he recognized
Frances rights along the coast and
agreed To stop his raids into the French
protectorate OF Porto Novo, long the
iavorite huntingground OF Dahomeyan
rulers fof slaves and victims to sacrifice
in their horrible fetish rites.
Late last fall the king violated his
agreement hy sending expeditions into
Porto Novu, where they surprised
several unsuspecting towns and dragged
hundreds OF people TO Attorney. When
the lieutenant-goyernor OF the French
colony protested the king sent an insolent
letter declaring that he recognized no
treaty, that he had q right in Porto Noyo
because his fathers Tor ages had been
the suzerains Of that country and that he
should continue his iorays II he chose,
because all the region occupied by the
French belonged To him; and yet, as he
knew yer, well, his father Geleve four.
teen years ago gave up TO France all
rights to the port OF Kolonu, and he
himself had recognized the claims OF
France In Porto Noyo. The Young bully
sent word to the French that II they
touched one Of his towns IN the interior

and all the French posts, He was carried
