The K1ondike as n Place to Live In.

Dawson City is nearly ten degrees
further to the south than the ancient
Norwegian town of Hammerfest, where
men make shift to live comfortably the
year round. To be sure there is no gulf
stream to temper the iron frosts of
Klondike, and the average winter cold
is 23 degrees below zero: but there are
warm winds from the Pacific in the
summer that make the climate far from
forbidding. The average temperature
for the summer months is Sc degrees.
and the 81 degree mark is by no means
unknown to the mercury. 1t is. of
course, too far north for wheat, but
barley, oats, and r. : ripen freely, and
ordinary vegetables can be cultivated
with success A fair index to the soil
and climG te is afforded By the timber.
The finest white sr"t!ce grows abund-
antly in the Kondikc rcGicr. The
trunks even attain 4 diameter Of two
feet where forest is not crowded. AS
for the danger of starvation. that
should not exist if the miners exercise
common prudence. The streams swarm
with salmon. and a few weeks of fish
ing in the fall should provision the
settlement securely. - Illustrated

The Last Loop Excursinn

OF the season will be run by the Gulf
Road Sunday, Sept. 10th. The same
cheap rates as have been made tor for.
jmer excursions of this character will pre-:
vail and the train service will be con.
venient as usual. Those who have failed
to take this trip heretofore should not on
any account miss this last opportunity.
This is generally conceded to be the
grandest one day trip in the world. and
pictures or word descriptions fail utterly
to adequately give an idea of its grand
eur. The Gulf Road has issued beau.
tiful book descriptive of this marvellous
road and splendidly illustrated, called
"a Day in the Canons," copy of which
may be had free upon application to any
agent OF the Gulf. If you have not seen
the bills announcing the rates and train
arrangements for this occasion, please
ask the nearest Gulf agent about it.

Vineyard Successfully Protected from
a DOwnpOur.
The principle of procuring rain by
means of powerful disturbances of the
upper strata of air by means of explo.
sions turned out to be unsuccessful, but
the reverse principle, that of dissipat-
ing rain and hailstorms by means of
explosions in the upper currents of air,
has proved successful. Unlike the rain
producing experiments carried out in
this country which were conducted for
the exposition Of 4 scientific principle,
the experiments which proved success
full were carried out in Austria for the
commercial purpose of protecting val
liable vineyards from the devastation
of hailstorms which are of frequent
occurrence in that section Of the coun-
try. Albert Stiger, burgomaster of
Windisch Frenstritz Qower Steir-
mark, Austria), owns extensive vine
yards, situated on the southern slopes
of the Bacher mountains, locality
often visited by destructive hailstorms.
According to Consul Germain, at
Zurich, having expended great deal of
money and labor on the improvement
of his lands and in securing choice cut
tings from which to raise his vines, he
began to experiment to protect his
crops from their worst enemy-hail.
At first he purchased galvanized iron
wire netting and stretched it over five
of Vi, h,1f fnT1pI 20
scheme too expensive for general appi-
cation. He therefore concluded to try
the shooting or explosive systems to
scatter the clouds and drive away ap-
preaching hail or heavy rain storms.
He erected six stations on the six most
prominent submits surrounding the
locality and commanding a territory
about two miles in extent. These sta
tions, built of wood, shelter ten heavy
mortars each. In the neighborhood of
every station is a cabin, in which the
necessary powder is stored.
A corps of volunteers, consisting of
neighbors, who are also owners of
small vineyards, have been trained to
handle the mortars at the slightest in
dication of an approaching storm.
The mortars are Immediately manned
and loaded with about Az ounces Of
powder each, and shooting commences
simultaneously and continues regular
ly out of the 60 mortars until the clouds
have been scattered and the storm has
blown over. The experiments were
anxiously watched by the citizens of
Windisch-Freistritz last summer. At
the approach of threatening black
clouds over the summit of the Bacher
mountains a signal was given and all
the mortars were fired off. and the con-
tinuous detonations in a few minutes
caused a sudden reaction in the move
ment of the clouds. The cloud wall
opened up funnel-like, the mouth of
the funnel began to rise in the form of
consecutive rings, expanding gradual
ly until all of the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. There was no
hail nor even a sudden downpour of
rain. The same experience was gone
through six times last summer. and has
without single exception proved
successful preventive. - Philadelphia
