The Power Of Rain.

A Philadelphia engineer has fig.
urcd out that one inch OF rain, fall.

is equivalent to nearly 1850, 900
gallons, weighing l45, POO, 900 pounds,

the earth, We have for the energy

power. With pumping machinery
working ut the low rate Of consump.
ton Of two pounds OF coal per horse.
power per hour, 1t would take 200
gross tons OF coal to raise the water
represented by one inch OF rain on a
square mile to tho assumed height
of 3, 600 feet. As matter OF fact,
rain often falls from clouds which
are at much greater height than
3, 600 feet above the ground, SO that
the figures just, given are quite con.
sentative CUES.
With all the talk that there has
been about utilizing waste energies,
1t seems just little peculiar that no
promising scheme has yet been
evo we'd to turn to good account the
prodigious power waste which thus
far has been shown to 90 on with
every rainfall OF any account. And
yet, while writing, a project comes to
mind which was advanced about ten
years ago, apparently in good faith,
by some enterprising genius In the
West Indies, to accomplish exactly
this saving. What he proposed to do
was to conduct the water from each
roof, during heavy tropical rains, in
to II main pipe supplying small
turbine coupled to n dynamo. The
electricity so developed by passing
showers was to be stored in accumu-
lators, and these, as they became
charged in variable times, depend
ing of course, on the rainfall. were
to be collected and stored at central
depots, from which the power was
afterward to be distributed. I'm
fortunately, however, this entlcing
scheme did not matcrialize, so that
the field Is still open for some one
else. Cassier' S Magazine.

Lisht Of the Lightning Bug, "

or late the naturalists have been
losing sleep and filling II great deal
OF magazine space in discussing the
causes that produce the light emitted
by tireiiies. As i generally the case,
where much study and investigation
is involved, there is wide difference
OF opinion. One school OF scientists
trace the phenomenon to the nervous
system OF the insect; another to his
respiration, while third school have
prepared an article Of 5000 words to
prove that the light is entirely de.
pendent upon the poor bugs circu-

Yesterday the clubs shifted and Owosso
played two games against the Port Huron
team, beating them easily both games. The
morning game, called at IL o'clock was
very fine game for Owosso people, and the
1000 spectators cheered and followed and
demonstrated that they are ready to patro-
nize and encourage winning team, which
it seems to be the opinion of all Owosso now
has. Gleason, new pitcher secured in
Chicago Monday, held the visitors down to
very few hits, while the Port Huron's best
man was batted very hard. The score was
10 to2.
The afternoon game called at Corunna

test, Gleason leading with two over the
fence flies and two other long drives. One
pitcher was knocked out of the box and the
other one suffered badly. Haynes for
