REMARKABLE
Growth Of Pathfinder
During Its Past Year.
Anniversary Of Organization Today
Fifty Nine Lodqes Established.

Today is the first anniversary OF
the order of the Pathfinder. The
initial year of this fraternal order
has been remarkable in more ways
than one.
On July /, 1898. this order was or
ganfzed. No desks, books, records OF
printed matter in any shape or form
were in possession of the order. The
business has been thoroughly estab-
lished in 25 states in the Union. The
membership is nearly 100, with that
number fast increasing. The lodges
number SO.
The headquarters of the order oc-
cupy five commodious rooms in the
Everett building and a corps OF
clerks are always busy. Circulars
by the thousand are sent throughout
the United States. Over 30 regular
ly commissioned deputies are located
in various parts of the country
showing up the advantages and in.
ducements which the order holds
out to this membership.
The Pathfinder, monthly
journal, in magazine form. contain
inf 20 pages, is edited by Supreme
President n. r. Steiner and Su.
preme Secretary Geo. C. Berry. It is
devoted to the interest of the vari-
Gus lodges and their members. The
paper has circulation of 10000 each
month.
1t is claimed that no other fraternal
order has ever achieved such a re.
markable growth during its first
year.
The active management of the
order is in charge of n. R. Steiner,
supreme president; Geo. G. Berry
supreme secretary; Fred z. Smith,
supreme treasurer; w. S. Jacobs,
supreme medical examiner.

RAIN-MAKING ON THE ALPS.
An Experiment Thai Failed In Taas Followed B,
Success In Austria.

The failure OF American rainmakers
has been followed by unqualified sue
cess in the Austrian Alps. There the
problem was not the same as i'm Texas
for instance. where out OF a cloudless
sky an attempt was made to extract
rain. In this part of the Alps there are
always plenty OF clouds. but unfor-
tunately for those living there. the rain
freezes and comes down in the shane ~
hail, causing reat damage. The brob-
lem then was merely to split the clouds
as they formed and before they had
time 10 freeze. causing the proper pre-
ciptation OF rain instead OF hail

perpendicularly on the mountain. has
been made and with uniform success
All Of the neighboring districts hava

in this place, Feisfritz. there has been
nothing but rain. The mortar Il fast-
ened firmly TO al oaken block. The
funnel is about six feet high. The load
used is only 75 grains of powder. and
this costs but five cents. As the NOR
tar is fired long rolling echo follows.
and after a few minutes the clouds dis
charge their moisture in the shane of
gentle showers. The cost is trinine
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.

MUSICAL HUMAN RIBS


Eddie Warp, a Norristown lad. who

is very thin, and his ribs protrude dis

them in the following manner:
The boy sits down and tucks his
shirt up about his neck says the Phil

hand an empty bobbn and draws n

as reigned where the thickest of the
battle for blocks was being waged ia
almost beyond imagination.
Each Pole was armed with an iron
implement OF some sort and was ham

every step. every stroke OF the arms
