says the rhilndephia Record. Unlike the

this country. which were conducted for the
exposition Of u scientific principle, the ex-
perlments which proved successful were car
ried out In Austria for the commercial pur-
pose of protecting valuable vineyards from
the devastation Of hail storms, which are Of
frequent occurrence In that section OF the
country. Mr.. Albert Stiger. burgOmaster OF
Windische-Frelstritz 0ower Stelrmnrk, Aus

tains. locality often visited by destructive
hail storms. According to Consul Germain.
at Zurich, having expended a good deal Of
money and labor ON the Improvement Of his
lands and In securing choice cuttings from
which to raise his vines. he began to expert.
ment to protect his crops from their worst
enemy hall. AT first he purchased galvan-
lied iron wire netting and stretched 1t over
Ave acres OF his best vines. but found the
scheme too expensive for general appllca.
tion. lie therefore concluded to try the
shooting or explosive systems TO scatter the
clouds and drive AWAY approaching hall or
heavy rain storms. He erected six stations
on the six most prominent SUBMITS sur

diately manned and loaded with about four
and quarter ounces Of powder -ench and

were anxiOusly watched by the citizens of
Windlsch- -Frelstritz last summer. AT the Ap-
proach Of threatening black clouds over the
suDlmlts of the ltacher mountains . signal
was given and all the mortars were fired on.
and the continuous detonatlons In q few
moments caused sudden reaction In the
movements Of the clouds. The cloud wall
opened up funnel-likc the. mouth OF the
funnel began to rise In the form OF consecu.
tive rings, expanding gradually until all OF
the clouds scattered and entirely disap.
peared. There was no hail or even n sudden

TO BE TRIED AGAIN.
Competitor Crew VIII Have to Stand
Court Martial.

Washington, Nov. Ga telegram
came to the State Department today
from United States Acting Consul
Springer, at Havana, as follows:
Trial by cOurt-martial OF Competi-
tor prisoners will be held Monday next.
VIII attend"
There are five of these prisoners.
namely: Alfred LabOrde, William Gill
dea, Ona Melton, Charles Barnett and
William Leavitt. They We're arrested
on the Competitor April %, 1896, OH n
charge of landing arms for the insur-
gents. and have been held in close con-
tinement ever since. May 3, 1896, they
We're tried by Il naval court-mar;lal and
sentenced to death. Only the most en-
crgetic acion by the United States gov
ernment prevented the immediate exc
cutiOn of this sentence, and after ne
gotiations direct with Madrid, Weyler
having proved unrelenting. an order
was secured for new trial, the Ma
drid judicial reviewing authorities hnv-
Ing adjudged the proceeding informal.
The contention OF our government
has been that these men were properly
subject to the protection afforded by
the Gushing protocol. and entitled to
counsel, to be confronted with wit
nesses and all Of the guarantees OF n
fair trial contained In that agreement.
The Spanish claim has been that the
men, being taken arms In hand. and
not on land. are excluded from the
benefits of the pr0ctocol. The news
now coming that they are to be tried by
court-martial again is not reassuring,
ns 1t amounts to mn insistence by the
Spanish upon their contention. which,
If carried out, will lead to the reimpo-
sition of the death penalty, though
clemency may be extended by General
Blanco.
Hannis Taylor. eX-mlnlster To Spain,
tonight made the following statement:
''rO the Associated Press: AS certain
Journals have deemed 1t necessary to
assert that the present administration
is In no wise responsible for my acts as
n private citizen. | deem II my duty to
ratify that statement. The publica-
iiOns signed by me and based on data
accessible to everybody. were made up
on my sole responsibility from grave
sense of public duty. which cannot
doubt is fully appreciated by the peo-
pie OF the United States. who are en-
titled to my testimony.
Il am sure that the present admins
tratiOn is doing It's entire patriotic
duty, and have for II no adverse crit
icism whatever. On The other hand,
| cannot believe that any one author
lied TO speak for 1t has ventured to
criticise me In any particular. as all
know that I have discharged every OBJ
ligation due 10 II. whether personal or
official, with punciilious fullness."

But i tell you, for boys with tired head
