Wheels That Ground the Powder.

Near the pretty little history build
ing, at the Nashville Ten. exposition,
resting upon large flat stone, isquite
an interesting object, namely, pair
of massive iron wheels about six or
seven feet in diameter and eighteen
inches wide upon their rims. They
are coupled together by heavy iron
bar, which passes through the center
of each wheel. and probably weigh as
much as five tons each.
These ponderous iron wheels have a
unique history. They are of English
manufacture, and We're brought to this
country early in the Civil War, run

brated cruiser Alabama, certainly un-

Piano Sounded bN Electricity.

A piano on an entirely new principle
is announced from Germany. The
strings are stretched across the
sounding board as in the ordinary
piano, but the entire hammer mechan-
ism is absent. Instead, the depress-
ing of tbe key puts in action magnet
which automatically attracts and re.
leases the wire, thus producing vibra-
tions without the metallic stock which
accompanies the sound in the common
type. The resulting effect upon the
tones is said to be very remarkable.
The high notes resemble those OF an
Aeolian harp. The middle and lower
notes are like cello or an organ. It
responds readily to every variation in
power and expression. A note can be
sounded for several minutes without
varing in quality. So radically differ.

In the B. S. course the right of cleo
tion begins much earlier, and is much

DR.. George S. Wilkins, Engineering.
DR.. W. B. Saffold, Greek.

PREVENTION OF HAlLsTORMS.
Success Of Aerial Explosions in Swiss
VINEYARDS.


The American rainmaking expert
ments are sufficiently fresh in the
memory to lend q peculiar interest to
report recently submitted to the state
department by the consul at Zurich
regarding curious practice that has
grown up among the grape growers Of
certain sections of Austria which is, in
effect, the exact reverse of the rain.
making theory. 1t is none other than
the prevention of storms by aerial ex-
plosions. The owner of extensive
vineyards found that his profits were
disappearing with the frequent de-
struction Of his vines by hailstones.
These storms are common and severe
in Austria, especially on the southern
slopes of the Bacher Mountains, and
as the soil is peculiarly adapted to the
growth of the grape the question arose
whether some means of preventing
the fall of hail could not be devised.
The explosion experiment was tried,
and to the date of the report it had
met with unbroken success. The
method is simple. On each of six of
the most prominent SUBMITS surround
ing the vineyards the owner erectel a
station, built of wood, for the shelter
of a battery of heavy mortars, ten at
each station. The neighboring peas

ers, have been trained to the duties Of
manning the batteries, and at the
slightest sign of the approach OF q

signal fire all the mortars simulta.
neously. Each mortar is loaded with
about four and a half ounces of pow
der; the report makes no mention of a
projsctile. The bombardment of the
clouds is continued until the moisture
is scattered and the storm is prevented.
AT the first trial of the system last
summer after few moments firing
the cloud wall opened up in the form
of funnel, the mouth rising in con-
secutive rings, gradually expanding
until the clouds scattered and disap.
peared. This process was accompa'
MED by no hail or even rain. During
the summer the firing was undertaken
six times, and always with the same
result. Thus it appears that while
man may not be able to force nature
to work at his bidding he may at least
compel her to remain idle for time.

the bucks mounted and charged back
on Reno and checked him and drove
him into the timber. The soldiers
tied their horses to trees and came
out and fought on foot. AS soon as
Reno was beaten and driven back
across the river the whole force turn
ed upon Custer and fought him until
they destroyed him. Custer did not
reach the rivor, but was held about
half mile up the ravine, now called
Reno creek. They fought the soldiers
and beat them back step by step until
all were killed.
From his story it is evident that the
Indians were in the coulees behind
and in front Of Custer as he moved up
the ridge to take position. The first
two companies (Keogh and Calhoun
dismounted and fought on foot. They
never broke, but retired step by step
until forced back to the ridge, where
all finally perished. They were shot
down in line where they stood. This
statement seems borne out by the
facts, as thirty eight bodies Of Keogh's
company were found together). The
warriors directed q special fire against
the soldiers who held the horses while
the others fought. As soon as one OF
these soldiers was killed, by moving
blankets and yelling the horses were
stampeded, which made it impossible
for the soldiers to escape. "After
