Electricity for Producing Rain.

The idea of making electrical rain by
throwing a charge of electricity through
moisture-aden air has taken innumerablc
forms from time to time without reach
ing any practical stage. 1t is hoped that
the latest suggestion in this direction. the
capture OF the elusive fog for agricultural
purposes, will elicit some feasible solution
Of the problem. California, as is well
known, has vast areas of valuable land
where the water supply is Inadequate.
Nature has endeavored to correct this by
sending in heavy fogs laden with moist
ure. These fogs come in from the ocean
at night during the dry summer months,
but are dissipated early in the morning by
the sun. What is now sought is the dis
covery Of some simple and practical
method OF condensinE or precipitating
this fog on n 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.

The King Street rlarket.

The farmers who come into King
street market are upin arms over
the proposed change by Clerk of the
Market Connell. The latter COM
plains that one side Of the street is
not sufficient to accommodate the
farmers The farmers say farmers
be hanged. Thee men who are
crowding the street are SINNERS
and are not entitled to occupy
spaces in the market. The follow
ing letters have been received by
the Republican,:
Sir:-I am pleased to see that the
business men of Wilmington are de-
termined to show Clerk of the Mar
ket Cornell that they have some
rights. The whole trouble at pres
ent Is the SINNERS who get stands.
Why they get them Icannottell, but
they get them just the same. There
are men occupying spaces in the
King street market who do neither
own or rent an acre of ground in
Delaware or adjoining states. They
buy the calves and hogs and mar
ket day sell the meat and reap the
harvest. They are no good to Will
mington. The spend ten cents here
and that is all. They bring their
lunch boxes with them so that they
do not buy anything to eat. They
do not raise what they sell. They
have no right in the market. Clean
them out and there will be lots. of
room. Let none but legitimate far
mers occupy the market. Give the
business man chance and farmers
will be fairly treated.
Property Owner.
Sir:-I have been attending the
King street market for years and l
am opposed to the market on both
sides Of the street. Take the huck-
sters who come from Maryland and
see how they act. They occupy
spaces any place where farmers
are absent. They buy the products
they sell and do not raise them.
The farmers are ready to meet far
mers but cannot meet INSCRIPTIONS
hucksters. They sell butterine
for butter and crate eggs for fresh
eggs. The people are victimized by
such people and they should be
driven from the market. Some of
them even sell Eastern apples and
divide their wagons load and
stands are found along the streets.
