To Make Artificial Rain.

New York Herald: Nj. Errera, pro-
fessor of the University of Brussels,
has succeeded and by a very simple
process. in making artificial rain. All
that he uses is a bottle of Bohemian
glass. which is covered with an Ordi-
nary porcelain saucer, and is half filed
with alcohol OF 50 degrees strength.
He heats this bottle in a bath of water
until the alcohol, the sides of the bottle
and the saucer are of an almost equal
temperature. Then he takes it out of
the bath, places it carefully on a table
and observes it closely.
He is rewarded BY an interesting
sight. The vapor of the alcohol soon
fills the bottle. but the saucer cools
rapidly and the vapor, being warmer,
becomes condensed as soon as it comes
in contact with it. The upper air in
the bottle also quickly becomes of a
lower temperature and real clouds soon
appear. These speedily become dis
solved into a multitude of tiny rain
drops, which fall thickly, just as an
ordinary rain shower.
The bath of water performs the func-
ton of the sun, the alcohol represents
the ocean; the clear space beneath the
saucer NAV be compared to the pure
sky, which dominates the sOmbre mass
of clouds and the upper air in the
bottle, chilled bv contact with the
saucer, plays the role of the cold at
mosDheric currents which bring about
the condensation of vaDor into clouds.
We see, then. that the phenomenon is
faithfully reproduced in all its details.
A still more striking result can be OBJ
tanned by using a cold saucer in place
OF the warm one. In that case the diff
ference &C temperature will be in
creased. and we can witness a regular
storm or hurricane This
is, indeed, tempest in a bottle.

"A Group of American Girls Early in

Helen Everston Smith in the December
Century. After describing the visit to two
cousins of Chancellor Livingston to New
York, the writer says:
In general all was rose-colored to the

society with every advantage which
youth, cultivation, beauty. and high con-
