AvERTING A HAILSToRM.
Clouds Bombarded in Northern Italy to
Prevent Destruction.

Prevent Destruction.
Hail, the "horrida grando" of Vir-
gil, the "dira grando" of Horace, has
nowhere more than in Italy been felt
as a scourge. In ten minutes the
bursting of a hail cloud may convert
whole district, smiling with the
promise of an abundant harvest or
vintage, into a scene of desolation,
leaving behind it economic ruin, ny
gienic harm, misery-individual and
social-seldom even palliated by the
heavy insurance which has already
anticipated much of the hard-earned
gains Of the husbandman. In Lon
don some rs years ago fog of al
most unprecedented duration and
density inflicted such damage, no.
tably on a great cattle show held at
Islington, that it was seriously pro-
posed on future visitations Of the kind
to clear the air by artillery, even at
the cost (as then estimated) of f1O,-
900. The proposal, transferred to
Italy and applied to her hailstorms,
has quite lately been theoretically
carried out-mainly on the lines rec
commended and practiced in Syria
by Signor Stiger. AtTurin member
of parliament largely interested in
agriculture, Signor Ottavi, has shown
that the mortar used in Syria, and
still more the Ginger cannon" also
in use there, may be constructed in
any well-appointed italian foundry
SO simple are they in construction
and operation. The mortar, for ex-
ample, with a charge of from so to
100 grammes of gunpowder, rammed
in not very tightly and plugged at the
mouth with a stopper Of unseasoned
wood, can when fred off in repeated
volleyS keep hail cloud at bay and
even break it up and dispense it.
Throughout Italy, but more particu-
larly in the more robust, Weather,
more enterprising north, one reads
of experiments tried with the most
gratifying results in this new method
of dispersion Of hail. Let me quote
an instance just communicated to me.
In various districts of Monferrato,
in the Alta Italia, violent thunder.
storm accompanied by hail was devas-
tating a series of upland farms at
Trino VercelleSe, Canine, Ponies
sura and Quartz. The storm was sig
nailed to the people of San Giorgio
Monferrato as terrible" so they lost
no time in preparing to give it
warm reception" They had quite
park Of artillery prepared, the can
non, as described by Signor Ottavi,
being in great force. On came the
storm cloud and out flashed the vol
leys in rapid succession, till after two
hours bombardment the cloud re-
vealed to the eyewitnesses large rent
through which the blue sky was Wis
ible. 1t thereafter drifted away, leav-
ing the 'colles apertos," of which, ac-
cording to Virgil, ''Bacchus" is SO
enamored, in full possession of all
their menaced riches and smiling at
the destruction they had escaped.
Not hailstone fell, but from the
ragged edges Of the retreating cloud
there dropped a gentle and not un-
welcome dew, hardly amounting to
rain. The vine dressers, turned artil-
lerymen for the nonce, find the prac-
tice more amusing and less costly
than insurance. 0fthe two Charges"

adhered to with greater tenacity
or with more pride than anv other
by the Bapt!sts, it is the lewiston
of church and State. Yet at the
Bracken Association in session at
Carlisle last week one good cleri-
cal brother arrogated to himself
the right to turn a religious
meeting into political body.
We are sorry, for it neither ad-
vanced the Baptist cause nor
elevated the preacher brother to
higher rank. Some serious
charges we're made against the
head of the Democratic ticket.
The speaker finished unmolested
when another minister asked if
he knew his statements to be true
and receiving negative responce
he said if all the political parties
are corrupt and on the road to dis
truction he preferred to go the
Democratic route. The speaker
was afterward asked if he had
talked with Mr.. Goebel regarding
the Roberts Bill and he frankly
responded he had not and further
said he had no acquaintance with
him. 1t therefore resolved into
this; some one told another who
told the friend Of the speaker and
the speaker said it at an associ-
alton. Such evidence is worth
less and would not stand a mo-
ment in court. The fact is Mr..
Goebel is a man not of the sinless
type in noway invaluable, and yet we
do not know one Republican from
head Of the ticket down we would
trust in preference to him. Goe-
bel has done more for struggling
humanity than has many church
members and doing for the poor. is
a contribution to the churches.
1t has not been forgotten that
Goebel was for and secured a cut
in the charges at the suspension
bridge between Covington and
Cincinnati. That saving on
say 1000 people (many more
than this number crossed daily
was more than $40, 900 per annum

About Forest Reserves.

The following in reference to forest reserves, has been furnished the Jour- pal-Miner by gentleman who has made study of the proposition, and hence conversant with the subject, and will be found of special interest at the present time, inasmuch as it corrects some erroneously conceived opinions on the subject:
 There seems to be general dispo- sition upon the part of those interested in sheep grazing and other pursuits in the vicinity of forest reservations, to confuse them with Indian and military reservations, upon which none are al- lowed to trespass and which are set aside for specific uses of the govern ment.
 ''The forest reservations are of en- tirely different nature, and are set aside by the government for what is considered the public good of the ter ritory. Scientific men, men of wide experience, who have been interested in this subject, have made thorough reports upon the arid condition of the southwest and the necessity for the conservation of its meager water sup ply. They came to their conclusion by years of careful observations. and in an unbiased manner. without interest, ex- cept the general welfare and prosperity of the country.
 Aside from this great question of
The Coconino sun., 1899-02-25

water supply, there are other questions of equal importance to the people of Arizona, in whatever business they may be interested.
 Remove the great pine forests, strips the territory of its magnificent belt of timber and what have you left? A few rich men who cut and sold the timber, upon one hand, and upon the other vast territory denuded of it's three-fold value: the timber gone that should be used in the development of the terri tory's great mineral wealth: the means for impounding water shipped to other states and thousands of acres of worth less, barren, non-taxable, untillable land reverted to the territory.
 Just where the reasoning man can find objection to the forest reservations under the existing conditions, is diff cult to say. The general rule govern ing forest reserves, allows grazing privileges to all stock except sheep. lu buC s1uu otiStcSo ACc~h v"ssoa S'Ss@ sheep are allowed to graze and it is very probable that this ruling will be permitted 90 far as this reservation is concerned; the reservation does not prevent the sale of timber to people of the territory for all uses and purposes when there is need of same; 1t does not prevent bona fide entrymen from taking up land that Is more valuable for agricultural purposes than for tim Der or mineral.
 A reservation does prevent fraudu- lent entries as homesteads on timber land: it does prevent and indiscrimi- nate slaughter of timber; it prevents ,he vast waste of timber by forest fires; it prevents few people from deriving all the benefits from our forests to the detriment of the people in general.
 It is not the intention of the Interior department or my of its represents tives to put hardships upon the people of Arizona, but to preserve for her cit izens those things which will, some time in the future, make her proud sister among the sisterhood of states:
