Very few people are horn with

gases produced by the defagration of
the powder, which being hurled into
the air Increase the disturbance to a
considerable degree. If a hail-storm is
in process of formation and a mortar
of this kind is fired in the neighbor-
hood, the meteorological laboratory is
turned upside down; the ,hailstones
cannot form, and, in place of these
dangerous projectiles, a heavy shower
of rain will fall on the earth.
Syria and Carniola were the first
countries in which. these mortars were
used to prevent hail, and M Ottavi, the
editor of II ColtivatOre, an Italian ag-
ricultural journal of high reputation
assures us that in these two countries
the vineyards defended by mortar have
never been injured by hail for the last
three years. The example set by Syria
and Carniola has just been followed by
Nenetia and Piedmont; a society of de-
tense against hail by means of cone
shaped mortars has been formed in
Corregliano in the province of Trevisa,
ana other similar societies have been
established at Arzignano, at Barbarano
and in the province of Vicenza. 1t
appears that one mortar is able to pro-
tect against hail circular space 500

price of one of these mortars is about
$50 francs, but this expense may be
lowered, it appears, by the use of cast
iron instead of bronze. However this
may be, this attempt to fight the dew
astating scourge of hail is certainly
worthy of note. Our southern vine

cause, might try these mortars, and

and it seems that at least one man who
rose up in his might when the law was
first enforced is now at q loss to see
where the chief is standing. He is
pulling the ground from underneath
himself, the man said, and it is plain
ly evident that it is his intention to
now let matters take their course, and
if person wishes to make dealer
suffer for keeping his place of business
open on. Sunday he must DO so by get
ting out a warrant.
1T seemsstrange to me- the citizen
told The Spy man, that Chief of Pol
ice James NJ. brennan should allow his
officers to arrest poor shopkeepers for
violating the Sunday law and allow
druggists to keep open and sell cigars
on Sunday"
His eyes are closed entirely to vio-
lations in the heart of the city where
the law can be violated almost openly
and without fear. 1t is only two weeks
since that two storekeepers were ar
rested on Park avenue for violation of
the Sunday law. One of them sold a
into court for disposing of cigar.
Now, after ALL Chief of Police
James M. brennan comes out and
states that he thinks after all cigars
are all right, and he would not bring
man into court for selling cigars if
ne caught MIN.
Has the Chief of Police of Worcester
a right to say what shall be the law
and what shall not? If he resurrects
all blue laws and enforces them for
a time it is his duty to enforce them
always. He has made mistake by
taking any notice of the laws in the
first place, and now he starts in to say
that cigars can be sold. He should not
determine this course at this late day.
He should have done so in the first
place.
Now he says that if anyone comes
to him with the evidence that a drug
gist is selling cigars he will proceed
against him and allow the matter to be
settled in the Superior court Long,
long ago the citizens said it would have
been a good idea for Chief brennan to
have the matter settled"
The cigar dealers in the near .lme
fail to see where they come in at all.
The druggists have cut prices and are
selling standard brands of cigars at
cut prices seven days in the week.
The way the matter now stands is
puzzling them all, and they wait pat
iently to see if Chief of Police brennan
will not lock around and settle the

Chief of Police James M. Drennan's
new stand on the Sunday closing law
is one that is attracting considerable
attention in the minds of people who
have looked at it from both sides since
its Inauguration. The chief has declar-
ed that he will help the cigar dealers
fight the druggists if they wish to make
out complaints and the cigar dealers
are wondering why the chief Of police
should not do as he always did. Send
his officers out in citizens clothes and
have them peek around corners and see
if they can find the druggists selling
weeds.
The stand that the chief of police
took on the matter is not meeting with
any great favor about town and in the
minds of some it is looked on as a
move of the chiefs to show that

matter for them. The chief says moth
ing about the matter and allows things
to take their course. He does not in
struct his officers to be on the lookout
for offenders against the law and one
official at the station says it is not
necessary, as the officers are appointed
because they know the law and will en-
force it until they are told to do other
wise. Not very long ago the Chief of
Police told The Spy man that If he
caught man selling cigar he would
certainly have him arrested, and for
a time the cigar cases in the city were
covered up on Sunday. Now he has
decided that the druggists can sell
cigars for all he will stop them.
This is what he should have done
long ago." said one man who has had
considerable experience in police cir
Giles. Chief brennan has been an
efficient officer and knows his place well
enough, but he has been misled. He
should have made people who wanted
the Sunday cigar business stopped
swear out the complaints personally
and then do the rest himself. That is
the way he would do with an assault
and battery, case and for any other
case, and if he did this how much
trouble and criticism he would have
saved himself"

before the New England association

fore the Worcester County Teachers
association. In these papers Mr. Rior-

he has now seen fulfilled here in Wor-

MoRTARS PREVENT HAIL
France Has a Novel Way of Saving
Crops From Damage.

The use in Europe of mortars of spe-
cial design to prevent damage from
hail-storms has recently been alluded
to more than once in the daily press.
An illustrated article on the subject
contributed to La Nature by Lieut.
Col. Delaney of the French army,
says:
For this purpose special form of
hrearm is used; it is a sort of mortar
set in a wooden base and having fixed
to its mouth a sheet-iron cone more
than two metres f6 1-2 feet) high. The
mortar is charged with 100 grammes
q5oO grains) of powder well tamped
down; the cone is put in place and
then the piece is fired. The defamation
produces considerable disturbance of
the air, owing to the cone, whose vi
brations are ample and prolonged, and
which acts like a gigantic organ pipe.
