RAIN MAKING ON THE ALPS
IN Experiment That Failed Ia TEXAS
Has Been Successful la Austria.

Has Been Successful la Austria.
The failure OF American rainmlkers
has been followed by unqualified sue
cess in the Austrian Alps. There the
problem was not the same as in Texas.
for instance, where out OF cloudless
sky an attempt was made to extract
rain. In this section Of the Alps there
are always plenty Of clouds, but unfor-
tunately for those living here the rain
freezes and comes down in the shape
OF hail, causing great damage. The
problem. then, was merely to split the
clouds as they formed and before they
had time to freeze, causing the proper
precipitation of rain instead OF hail.
Since 1896 the experiment OF shooting
at the clouds with large mortars set up
perpendicularly on the rpuntain has
been made and with uniform success
All Of the neighboring districts have
suffered from the usual hail storms,
but in this place. Feistritz. there has
been nothing but rain. The mortar is
fastened firmly to an Oaken block. The
funnel is about six feet high. The load
used is only sevenjy-ive grains OF pow
der, and this costs but five cents As
the mortar is fired long rolling echo
follows. and after a few minutes the
couds discharge their moisture in the
shape of gentle showers. In this way
the crops planted in the valley are
helped instead Of being broken down
by the hail, and the cost is trifing.
The success of these experiments has
aroused widespread interest. and per-
haps the weather sharps Will be able
to learn how to gather the clouds,
since the problem of making them dis
charge their contents may be consid-
cred solved.

The Great Canadian waterway.

At the last session of parliament grant
was voted for the Improvement OF the
upper Ottawa navigation. 1t was generally
understood that this was for the purpose
of aiding in the obtaining of survey OF
the Ottawa and Georgian bay canal. At
all events, survey Is now in progress,
and 1t is expected that 1t will be completed
to the height of land by the middle of this
month. Borings are being made at every
hundred feet, and not much rock has been
found.
When this survey is completed the canal
company will have sufficient data to put
the work under contract. The section be-
tween Trout lake and Lake Nipissing has
been found to be not the solid mass of
land it was supposed TO be. but the engi-
neer in charge OF the survey party has
been able to utilize chain Of fine tiny
lakes between these bodies. That will
overcome the chief difficulty of the route,
for the tract between Trout lake and Lake
Nipissing Is on the summit level, or the
divide" between the Ottawa basin and
the Lake Huron drainage.

the company expects, 1t will be the means

TAMmAxY METHODS IN CHICAGO.

The railroad officials were startled by the
measure because 1t was well drawn and
appeared to have a majority of the votes
in the council In favor of 1t. In Olden times
the chief officials OF the company would
have sent for the leader" of the council
and bought the suppression of the meas

But this time they decided to make a
direct appeal to the mayor for protection.
Their story was related to him and a re-
quest made that he aid them He made
no promise that he would do so. for Har-
rison is chary of promises. However, aft
