ACCOMPLISHING ITS MISSION.

pense attached to the operation of dis charging the rockets and the subse- quent discharge of the cartridge con- taining the ether. 1t would cost sew eral hundred dollars for quantity of explosive sufficient to force the rockets the required height; and as it would require several hundred pounds of ether to condense enough vaporized moisture to make a rainfall of any ex- tent, the supply of this material would be quite expensive. The market price of ether is about 30 cents pound, and one can easily see that to obtain any large amount of rain very large ex- penditure of money would be required.
 'sYes, several other chemicals could be easily substituted for ether, and at q far less cost, but l cannot enumerate them just now. Ammonia would not answer, as it does not evaporate with sufficient rapidity to transform the moisture in the atmosphere into rain in time or in quantity to be of any prac- tical value
 Then, too, there must always be an element of danger attached to these operations, which cannot be entirely overlooked. That is in the method employed in carrying the ether in the rocket. To obtain good results the ether must necessarily be compressed, and to do this a shell, possibly steel, must be employed. When this ex- plodes the fragments must fly in all di- rections, and can see a great possibil- ity of persons in the path of the artifi- cial thunderstorm receiving personal injuries. I do not believe, however, that there is any possibility of the con- densed moisture being vaporized while falling through one mile to the earth"

nity they will strike for absolute free dom and establish a republic. In GIren- ada, Trinidad and Jamaica it is the same. 4 war between England and the United States would be sure to bring about this result, for the very good reason that the prosperity of the West Indies depends on the United States.
 One of the first effects of such con- fict would be partial starvation; for all of the islands are supplied with their most important articles of food from North America, especially flour and salt meats; and on the smaller islands the merchants hardly ever carry larger stock that will supply the trade for about a month. The fresh meat comes chiefly from Venezuela The principal products of the island are sugar and CO., coa, the bulk of the trade being with our country; so that besides losing their food supply the merchants of the West Indies would be bankrupt in a very short time. The states also sup ply the coal used here
 Absolute ruin staring these people in the face has made them ask the ques- ton: What course shall we follow? ?'' The answer has been Turn against Great Britain"
 On the surface this is not noticeable, but after one has travelled bit through the islands and become acquainted with the creoles, who are far and away in the majority, this truth becomes very apparent. And even now, those who have the greatest interests at stake feel uncertain of their ground fear that some accident may happen that may prevent an amicable settle

and longshoremen struck for higher wages, while in the interior of the plantations there was one of the old fashioned came brules (canc burn ing). The plantation workers also wanted higher pay, and this being re- fused, started to burn the fields. This trouble is not settled yet.
 Further than this some of the Brit ish West Indian islands are going to pass out of the control of the British under any circumstances before many years. This may happen without bloodshed or with bloodshed, but hap pen it will. Not many years ago the Bermudas were inhabited by thou sands of English and Scotch families, but to-day there are but handful, com paratively speaking. They have been driven out by the natives, not forcibly, of course, but by other means, equally effective; and the white population of the islands is steadily decreasing, as is plainly shown by statistics. This leads to but one result-separate republics where is now British rule. A war with the United States would bring this to a head at once; and Great Britain, knowing this, will have no war.

in such form that one would think a butterfly had lighted upon the roses in the greenish yellow grass; and the silk combined with passamenterie of white and gold forms the yoke. Need one add that grass linen gowns over silk foun- dations of each hue of the rainbow are foremost in favor?
 There are flowers again of q delicate pink, scattered over a white gown of Persian silk where from one dainty tea gown is fashioned with it's vatican back ending in a demi train, and with its sleeve finished with wide cream lace. which is brought over the shoulders and falls full to the knees.
 There is the tint seen only in some eyes that are fair to look upon and in the tiny bluets which dot the dry side hills of summer, in the blue brilliantine with afull slirtand short jacket, whose wide reVers open over white vest em- broidered in gold, and whose wide roll ing cuffs are brave with the same gilt prettiness.
 There are again the purple yioIets and again the pink roses and green leaves. the former on the brim and the latter on the crown of a medium-sized hat which, like many of the hats of the spring, shades we'll over the face and right behind lets the sun kiss the wear er's hair. Over the violets of the brin is veil of green tulle and at the back there are soft loops of it with white tulle shining through from beneath.
 There is a nasturtium colored hat with Tam O Shanter crown, around which coils a soft twist of black spangled net. On the right side are grouped large chrysanthemums with yellow eenters and shaded grasses.
 And which of all the hats is the fa- vorite? Which of all the colors will be most worn2 If one is to judge by the examples one sees it will be that tint least of all becoming 10 the average face, purple. Never have I seen so many purple hats, or so many hats partly purple, or with purple predomi mating in their decoration. There will be many women whose life is to them anything but a pleasure because Of this purple shade upon the landscape of their lives-until presto! ehangei

used in the manufacture of artificial ice. Ammonia is also a powerful cold creator, but not to the same degree as ether; besides being heavier.
 The method employed in elevating the chemicals is, as has been said, simple in the extreme. The apparatus may be divided into four parts. There is long, cylindrical cartridge, similar in appearance to the vessels in which gases are stored. This is to be about twelve feet in length and three feet in diameter. To it's base is attached a coil spring, which, when expanded, will reach to length of 45 feet. In the various compartments of the cartridge are distributed TOO pounds of com pressed ether, which, it is estimated, is an amount sufficient to so chill the atmosphere as to cause a rainfall heavy enough to saturate the ground for an area of several miles.
 Operated by this spring is piston rod, the movements of which are auto matically regulated so that it explodes the caps iberating the ether in the various chambers at the desired height. The attitudes at which the fluids are to be released will vary with the state ot the atmosphere as registered by the barometer.
 To describe the apparatus in detail would be difficult, and would involve such use of scientific terms that the reader would be mystifed rather than enlightened. In brief, the cartridge is divided into five compartments, four of which are filled with ether. The spring has the same influence on the rocket that the tail has on kite. Like sub- marine torpedo, the cylinder is cigar shaped, thus offering less resistance to the atmosphere. Gauged acording to conditions prevailing at the time when the machine is launched, this piston rod may be regulated to discharge the caps at the desired height.
 MT. F. B. Smith, an eminent engineer, who has devoted several years to the study of atmospheric phenomena, said, when questioned as to the feasibility of the plan: There is much to be said on both sides. In the first place, it woull be very easy matter to force a rocket up to the height of a mile. Secondly, the fundamental idea is correct, from t scientific point of view, for, as nearly everyone knows, all currents of air con tain more or less vapor.

X new rain making device has just been perfected by native of India, which is guaranteed to relieve the drought even in the dryest of coun- tries; and the opinion of several scien- tific experts seems to bear out the claims made by the inventor.
 Agriculturists in this country will no doubt soon have an opportunity 70 judge for themselves of the merits, as it's introduction here is only matter of a short period. Rain making will not be a new industry in the United States. Prof. Dyrenforth's experiments several years ago will readily be re- called. Owing to the erudeness of the apparatus and the fact that the art of robbing Jupiter Pluvius of the sole power of opening the flood gates was then in it's infancy, the results were not entirely satisfactory. Indeed, there were those who pronounced the whole scheme chimerical, but their skepti- cism gave way in part before the proof that the professor literally called upon the heavens to produce. But while these experiments produced rain, they really only hinted at the possibilities in this direction. But now this native of a far off land has come forward with an apparatus that meets all the require ments of the situation While taking as the ground work of his idea the gen. orally accepted theory that the mois- ture of the atmosphere,must be preeip- itated by some chemical process which will cause a sudden change of tempera- ture, the inventor has discarded the methods of his predecessors in this line, and has devised unique method ot transporting his compounds to the de sired height. This, he thinks, should be about one mile-possibly more. The general principle is that of the .'rain- bow skyroeket, the chemicals taking the place of the colored balls, and the rockets being Of gigantic proportions Ether or ammonia are the agents by means of which he proposes to trans form the insensible vapors of the ail into water which will not "drop like the gentle dew from the heaven upon the place beneath" but, if his expectations are realized, will fall in torrents sufh cient to satisfy the thirst of parched Mother Earth. Of the two chemicals the ether is preferable, owing to its greater lightness and superior heat ab sorbing qualities.
 As is we'll known, ether Is formed by the distillation of combination of al cohol and sulphuric acid. It is great absorber of heat, and is the chief agent

Eingland's Precarious Tenure of Her

frederick Russell Writes an Interesting Letter Describing State of Affairs Not Generally Understood in
 the United States
lcoPYRIGHr. 1s9s. I

Barbadoes, WI. I.,April 1o.-Durine the recent excitement over the Venezuelan boundary question, the West Indies have figured scarcely at all; but since I have been travelling through these islands have discovered very re- marksble state of affairs, which has been brought to the front by the threat ened rupture between the United States and Great Britain. If there had been open hostilities the West Indies would have been practically lost to 6reat Britain, for the sentiment throughout them is decidedly anti British, and the United Kingdom has no force in this part of the world suf- ficient to hold them.
 In Barbadoes the natives, while they now have practically home rule, want more than that; at the first opportu-

 That the English appreciate this Is indicated by their care to keep fire arms out of the island. Not even tourist, who will probably stay only 8 day or two at Trinidad, is allowed to take in a revolver without the payment of S1.20. It is well-known fact that this is to keep them out of the hands of the negroes. In Trinidad the English population is very small-practically the only Englishmen there are the of ficials, and the officials are the most heartily disliked persons in the place, the governor most of all
 Further: In Trinidad the Venezue- lans make up very important part of the populations; and for the most part they are wealthy merchants, who, if they saw that it would save their finan. cial interests, could easily start the ball rolling. And if it were started it would be next to impossible to stop it till it had run it's course. In Trinidad, which has about 250,000 inhabitants, 90 per cent. of whom would be against the government, it would take a very pow erful force to dislodge the natives from the mountains. War vessels would be useless, for, though they could easily demolish Port of Spain, they could not approach nearer than within two miles of the island, and could do nothing fur ther. And Port of Spain, though the

heat Is introduced into these currents, the air is cooled, and by reason of the loss of heat condensation of yapor fol- lows. This is demonstrated by the fall- ing of dews each night during ho. weather. When the sun has sunk be low the horizon, the earth rapidly coels, The moisture near it is thereby con. densed, and deposit of dew results. There are, however, several objections to the scheme that suggest themselves to my mind. One is that, as it costs in the neighborhood of $500 to discharge cotton modern gun, it would necessi. tate a corresponding outlay for each discharge of these rockets; thus the rain would come very high. Another
 objection to the scheme is that, to

ment of the trouble. A creole at Port of Spain, Trinidad, having large cocoa interests, said to me, after l had had several conversations with him and had won his confidence:
 "Everyone declares with an assured voice. that there will be no trouble, but YOU know what little sparks can start the thing afresh; if it does start, 1, who am worth $3Oo,o0o, am ruined. All that have is in my estates and on this island"
 After having seen what Great Britain has to lose, I think hls fears are wholly unfounded; but when mans money is at stake he is apt to be sanguine.
 On the island of Trinidad there has been for long time a strong sentiment against the English,and at this moment it is stronger than ever. The sentiment is French; the half-breeds all have French blood in them. The pure ne- groes would follow the creoles in case of an open dispute, on account of thelr color if for nothing else, though, on the surface, in everyday life, there appears to be wide breach between these two classes. It is only on the surface. A few days ago there was two days car niyal on most of the islands, and for those two days the native population, dressed in costumes, ruled everything This carnival was in reality celebra- tion of the old days when the negroes burned the plantations of their white masters, and the spirit shown on

port of the island, has only about 12,- GOO inhabitants.
 The Grenadans, remembering the buteheries of olden times, could run their island to suit themselves; for travel is impossible except on foot or with ponies-and almost all of the is- flanders have ponies, sure-footed little beasts with eyes in their feet, who can jump like goats from rock to rock in the mountains. The chances are that these people would revolt, for in that island in particular starvation woull result from a cessation of trade with the United States.
 As for Great Britain preventing this by force of arms, the idea is ridiculous. While she might send men to the islands from England in time of peace, her hands would be tied hard and fast by war in America. There is an inn pression in our country that British troops are stationed all over the West Indies. There never was more CT roneous notion; there are but few regiments of British troops in this part ] of the world, and they are on but two of the islands. There is no such force in Barbadoes, Trinidad or Grenada-the police and few companies of militia making the whole British force on them. There are some old forts which did service in the days when Spain ruled this part of the world, the guns, which are hardly more modern, and are for the most part so badly rusted that doubt whether it would be safe to fire any of them.
 At St. Kitts, only a few weeks ago, there was a demonstration which plainly showed the temper of the na- tives. In the first place the boatmen
