The major lifted his glass and care

asked me to go out with him to some
little town which he was going to open

beer and sandwiches for the people,
and all that, you know. Well, / went
along. and there was a big freight car
loaded down with kegs and provisions.
Everybody was having a great time.
Tom got i'll during the sale, so he went
into little shanty to lie down, while |
went over to the freight car to get
some ice to put on his head. l was in
the car scouting around after ice when,
all of a sudden, someone slammed the
door to, and made the inside of the car
as dark as pitch. Then somebody in
the darkness began to swear like a
pirate and L heard him swing his re-

low around there that a good many

of short period. Rain making will
not be a new industryein the United
States. Professor Dyrenforth's expert
ments several years ago will readily be
recalled. Owing to the crudeness of
the apparatus and the fact that the
art of robbing Jupiter Pluvis of the
sole power of opening the flood gates
was then in its infancy. the results
were not entirely satisfactory. Indeed,
there were those who pronounced the
whole scheme chimerical but their
skepticism 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 limited at the posi-
bilities in this direction. But now this
native of far-off land has come for
ward with an apparatus that meets all
the requirements of the situation.
While taking as the groundwork of his
idea, the generally accepted theory
that the moisture of the atmosphere
must be precipitated by some chemical
process which will cause a sudden
change of temperature. the inventor
has discarded the methods of his pre-
decessors in this line, and has devised
a unique method of transporting his
compounds to the desired height This,
he thinks should be about one mile
possibly more. The general principle
is that of the rainbow" skyrocket,

| sides. In the first place, IL would be a
| very easy matter to force a rocket up
to the height of a mile. Secondly, the
| fundamental idea is correct, from
| scientific point of view, for, as nearly
everyone knows, all currents of air
| contain more or less vapor. When a
substance which has a tendency to alb
| sorb heat is introduced into these cur
rents, the air is cooled, and by reason
| OF the loss of heat a condensation of
vapor follows. This is demonstrated
by the falling of dews each night dur
ing hot weather When the sun has
sunk below the horizon, the earth rap
idly cools. The moisture near 1t is
thereby condensed, and a deposit of
dew results. There are, however, sew
eral objections to the scheme that sug-
| gest themselves to my mind. One is
that, as Ii costs in the neighborhood of
| $500 to discharge a 20-ton modern gun
1t would necessitate a corresponding
outlay for each discharge of these
| rockets; thus the rain would come very
| high. Another objection to the scheme
is that. to make the rainfall cover any
considerable area, ii would be neces-
| sary to raise the rocket to a very great
| height before the machine containing
| the ether is discharged. Now, ii seems
| to me that before the condensed moist
ure could reach the earth II would be-
come vaporized again, because of the
| atmospheric pressure which includes
| heat"
Erick Enequist. a consulting and
| manufacturing chemist, said in regard
to the scheme:
Yes, ii is perfectly feasible in my
estimation The only objection that I
can conceive is that of the enormous
expense attached to the operation of
discharging the rockets and the subse-
N alaN Of
tanning the ether 1t would cost sew
eral hundred dollars for a quantity of
explosives sufficient to force the rock
cts the required height; and as il
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 a pound and
one can easily see that to obtain any
large amount of rain a very large
expenditure of money would be re-
quired.
Yes. several other chemicals could
be easily substituted for ether. and at
a far less cost, but 1 cannot enumerate
them just now. Ammonia would not
answer. as IL does not evaporate with
sufficient rapidity to transform the
moisture in the atmosphere into rain
In time or in quantity to be of any
practical value
Then, too, there must always be an
element of danger attached to the
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,

legs refused to support me in this po-

area of several miles.
Operated by this spring is a piston
rod. the movements of which are au-
tomatically regulated so that IL ex-
plodes the caps liberating the ether in
the various chambers at the desired
heights. The attitudes at which the
fluids are to be released will vary with
the state of the atmosphere as regis
tered 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 mystified 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 a kite. Like a sub
marine torpedo, the cylinder is cigar
shaped, thus Offering less resistance to

conditions prevailing at the time when
