Electricity for Producing Rain.

The idea Of making electrical rain by
throwing a charge OF electricity through
m~oisture-laden air has taken innumerablc
forms from time to time, without reach
ing any practical stage. II Is hoped that
the latest suggestion in this direction. the
capture OF the elusive fog for agricultural
urpOses viii elicit some feasible solution
OF the problem. California, as is well
known, has vast areas Of u land
where the water supply is inadequate.
Nature has e~ndeavored to correct this by
sending In heavy fogs laden with moist
ure. These fogs come I'm from the ocean
at night during the dry summer months,
out are disslpated early in the morning by
the sun. What Is now sought Is the dis
covery OF some simple and practical
method OF cOndensing or precipitatinR
this fog on a large scale. II the fog par
ticles only could be coaxed into closer
communion with each other as they steal
In from the sea and made to trickle down
In gentle streams of water an immense
Increment OF agricultural values would be
seen in the state.

One hUndred sneezes a minute, So

who had hardly ever sneezed before In
her life. The attack began at school
n day In October, and had been pre-
coded by a cold lasting a couple OF
weeks, during which she had sneezed
somewhat, but not unuaturally. The
sneezing spell broke out at just nine
o'clock. when she had taken her seat
to begin her morning work, In that
FIRST hour her schoolmates counted
about 1900 sneezes. Everything she
did for It or that anybody else did
made II worse. Medical aid was sum
moned. A number OF learned doctors
visited this interesting case, and each
prescribed something different. All

his declining years in solitude.
Basil Hayden, referred to above, Is
one Of the wealthiest farmers in a
district composed Of half a dozen coun-
ties, and is descended from a family
well known in the pioneer annals Of
the state. Many Of them have also
been distinguished in the different
lines Of life. One Of his brothers, Ray
mond Hayden, was the originator Of a
celebrated brand Of whisky, and for
years held a controlling interest in one
OF the most famous distilleries in the
United States. He, too, had peculiar
IDEAS, and lived a bachelor all his life,
and at last died at an advanced age IN

end. When he returned home he found
his slaves free and his property great
ly damaged. The emancipation of the
negroes affected him seriously, and he
brooded over it constantly. He be-
came silent and morose, declining all
overtures Of friendliness on the part
of his neighbors. He declared the Lord
had dealt harshly and unjustly with
him in depriving him Of his slaves,
and out Of revenge he registered a ter
rible oath that he would never again
put his foot to the Lords ground, and
so far he has kept his VOW. Never
since its registration has he appeared
without his door, nor will he nave in
~tercourse with any save n or two,
who are Immediately connected with
him. and then his words are Of the
briefest possible character. His land
ed interests are extensive, and under

seer yield him a handsome income.

How he spends his time in his dark

said he ia q miser as well as a hermit,
and that his chief employment is
counting and toying with his money,
Of which he is said to have a vast
amount in silver and gold. Be this
as 1t may. a Bardstown banker twice a
year visits Mr., Hayden, and through
him the recluse settles his financial
matters with the outside world.
Mr.. Hayden is described as a fine

infant, and his hands are as soft as

a glimpse was caught of Hayden. His
instructions to the auctioneer were
sent out by the overseer, written in
a grabbed hand and were very direct.

Trouble for the Fishermen

There seems to be plenty of trouble in
store for the fishermen and hunters
about Lake Koshkonong who persist in
violating the game laws. Deputy Game
Warden johnson who gave the duck
hunters such lively turn last fall was
about the lake last week as was special
warden Stone of Rice Lake From what
they picked up these officers are salts
fed that there is considerable violation
of the fish law going on and they are de-
termined to stop it. A good many set
hooks are out along the shores and it is
also believed that seining is being done
both of which is contrary to law. Be-
sides certain varieties of fish are taken
out of season. 1t is stated that warrants
have been taken out of the municipal
court at GAINESVILLE for several parties
but we are unable to learn that any ar
rests have yet been made In speaking
of the matter Warden johnson stated
that several days ago he received com
plant from La Ike Koshkonong that the
law was daily being violated at the lake
and that several men there who made it
a business to catch fish seemed to have
but little regard for the law. It is al
legged that these same fishermen would
daily go out to the lake and bring in
large catches regardless of what kind of
tho finpv tribe thav coo11rod
While at Lake Koshkonong Warden
johnson has made it practice of stop
ping at w. G. Dallmeyer's resort hotel,
from whom he leases boats in making
excursions upon the lake. Last week a
delegation, representing the fishermen,
called upon Mr. Dallmeyer and protested
against his keeping the game warden at
his house or in renting boats to the
officers. Dallmeyer informed them that
he kept public house and should not
deny any respectable person who asked
for accommodations. Tuesday night two
of Dallmeyer's best boats, those used by
the warden, were ruined by being cut
through the bottom with an ak. Natur-
ally the hotel keeper is pretty angry
about such acts of vandalism and has
offered a reward of $50 for the conviction
of the perpetrators of the outrage. When
the game warden hears of this last
trouble he is not likely to make it any
easier for the violaters of the game laws
in that locality.
