here at 2.45 P. NJ. was late 80 minutes on

was suspended until into the evening. The
up flyer was stalled between Westmoreland
and East Westmoreland, owing to serious
washout. The o'clock down train had to
carry by so that the flyer due at Pas did
not reach Bellows Falls until 40. Sheets
of rain and hail did the work. Trains run

The Discovery Made by an East In
dian-And Experts in This Country
Think 1t Feasible,
A new rain-making device has just
been perfected by a native of India, which
is guaranteed to relieve the drouth even
in the dryest of countries; and the opin-
ion of several scientific experts seems to
bear out the claims made by the inven-
tor.
Agrioulturists in this county will no
doubt soon have an opportunity to judge
for themselves of It's merits, as it's intro
duction here is only matter of short
period. Rain making will not be new
industry in the United States. Prof.
Dryenforth's experiments several years
ago will readily be recalled. Owing to
the crudeness of the apparatus and the
fact that the art of robbing Jupiter
Pluvlus of the sole power of opening ths
foodgates was then in its infancy. the
results were not entirely satisfactory.

used in the manufacture of artificial ioe
Ammonia is also powerful cold creator,
but not to the same degree as ether, be-
sides 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 appear
anoe to the vessels in which gases are
stored. This is to be about 10 feet in
length and feet in diameter. To its
base is attached a coil spring, which,
when expanded, will reach to length
of As foet. In the various compartments
of the cartridge are distributed 700
pounds OF compressed ether, which, it
Is estimated, is an amount sufficient to
SO chill the atmosphere as to cause a rain
all heavy enough to saturate the ground
fo- an area o t several miles.
Operated by this spring is piston rod,
the movements of which are automati-
cally regulated so that it explodes, the
caps llberating 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 registered by the barome-
ter.

that which will supply growth, repair,
neat and vital force. A meagre meal
eaten in happiness and content is of more
use to person than feast amid worry,
wrangling and other disagreeable con-
ditions.
A reasonable variety should be oon-
sldered. Growing children Feed simple
lood given to them oftenei than thr.e
times day. Aged people also need sim
pie food. Occupations make great
difference in the kind of food required
and those who do manual labor in the
open air can digest what the person who
lives indoors cannot.
Eoccentricies Of taste should be con-
sldered within reason as no one should
be compelled to eat what is really dis
tasteful. Some people are poisoned by
certain common articles Of food.
The other extreme of humoring unneo-
essary whims must be avoided. The cost
OF food bears little relation to it's nutri-
Tive value as, for instance, the tenderloin
OF beef is less nutritious than some Of

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 possibilities in
this direction. But now this native of
far-off land has come forward with an
apparatus that meets all the requirements
CT the situation. While taking as the
groundwork of his idea the generally ao-
cepted theory that the moisture OF the
atmosphere must be precipitated by some
chemical process which will cause a sud
den change of temperature, the inventor
has discarded the methods of his predeces-
sors in this line, and has devised 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 If the train
bow" skyrooket. the chemicals taking
the place of the colored balls, and the
roeKeUs being of gigantic proportions.
Ether or ammonia are the agents by
means of which he proposes to transform
the insensiEle vapors Of the air into
water which will not "drop like the
gentle dew from the heaven upon the
place beneath" but II his expectations
are realized, will fall in torrents suffi-
oient to satisfy the thirst OF parched
Mother Earth. OF the two chemicals, the
ether is preferable, owing to its greater
lightness and superior heat-absor bling
qualities.

undeserving of consideration.
No one but thorough-going British
stage manager Of burlesque could COM
mand suoh kcollection of expletives as
Stetson employed during rehearsals of
productions in WITCH women figured.
The bully stood out in all his dealings
with subordinates. And he apparently
gloried In his reputation as bully.
Those OF his employees compelled to asso-
ciate closely with him were usually time
servers, subservient during his presence,
jumping at his command, and damning
him behind his back. Steeson saw
through such shams and despised them.
1t Is told upon the Rialto that on
Broadway one day the Boston manager
launched yolley of characteristic abuse
at Charley Schroeder, then his lieutenant
at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, Passers nv
heard the torrent of yituperation, saw
Big Johns fist shaken under Schroeder's
nose, and were awe struck when thew
heard and saw Schroeder retaliate In
kind. 1t was the only play for Charley
to make. He beat the old man at his
own game, established himself upon the
Rialto as "a man who dared to talk back
to Steuson," and was always prime
favorite of the eccentric millionaire.
The stories of Stetson's butchery OF the
English language would FILL volume,
even if confined to those admitted BY
him to be strue. One most familiar to
habitues of the stage deals with Stetson's
1mperious disposition. He sent on the
road an opera company under the stage
management of chap named Sharp.
