RAINMAKING ON THE ALPS.
Clouds are Shot Out of n Big Mortar
Through a Funnel.

Clouds are Shot Out of n Big Mortar
Through Funnel.
The failure of American rainmakers
has been followed by unqualified sue
cess in the Australian Alps. There the
problem was not the same as in Texas,
for instance, where out of a cloudless
sky an attempt was made to extract
rain. In this section of the Alps, saws
the Los Angeles Times, there are al
ways plenty of clouds, but unfortunate
ly 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 precipita-
tion of rain instead of hail.
Since 1896 the experiment of shooting
at the clouds with large mortars set up
perpendicularly on the mountain has
been made, and with uniform success.
All of the neigh boring districts have
suffered from the usual hail-storms,
but in this place, Feistritz, there has
been nothing but rain. The mortar is
fastened firmly on an oaken block.
The funnel is about six feet high. The
load used is only seventy-five grains of
powder, and this cost but 5 cents. AS
the mortar is fired a long-roling echo
follows, and after few minutes the
clouds 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 hail, and the cost is trifling. The
success Of these experiments has arOus-
ed widespread interest, and perhaps the
weather sharps will be able to learn
how to gather the clouds, since the
problem of making them discharge
their contents may be considered solved

Talent,

A great many people overrate them
selves, but not many depreciate their
own value. Still there are few who are
cyclists to an offensive degree and a
very small proportion who make them
selves ridiculous by their self cOnceit
Very few people are born with extra
ordinary talent. Successful people gen
orally owe more to persistent effort
than natural ability. 1t is better to be
born with will to work than to be
born with talent. An earnest purpose
is the way to success in any undertake
ing. A boy will more surely make his
way in the world if he has to struggle
with difficulties, and the sooner he
learns that he is not naturally endowed
with talent, the sooner he goes to work.
II he realizes that he does not possess
the bare zone talent" so much the bet
ter. We see too many instances of men
who expect to reach the summit by
their talent. Oftener than not no real
talent exists, thus they deceive them
selves and the best places are filled not
by the men of talent, but by the men of
purpose. Careful training develops
ordinary capacity, and patient effort is
always rewarded.
1t is not apt to be the class valedicto-
rian who is heard from when college
life is over. 1t is more likely to be the
boy without class nOnorS VINO WINS Ill
the race of real life. There is room for
all honest, faithful works There is
honor for all to whom honor is due.
No boy should be deferred from Selling
every opportunity to improve himself
| by seemingly lack of talent. He need
not be discouraged because he is out
| stripped at the start, for in the long run
he will find "the race is not to the swift
no" the battle TO the strong"
We attach too much Importance to
talent, real or fancied. We magnify ii
out of all proportion and it is not any
wonder that young people get distort-
ed view of the truth. An exaggerated
idea of his own ability is serious dis
advantage to any man. "Know thy
self'' is the first lesson he should learn
and having learned it well he is able to
master the difficulties in his way and
attain the success he desires .-Chatta

her earthly home last Saturday evening
just as the bright sun was sinking be-
hind the beautiful clouds. Miss Jennie
has been great sufferer for five long
years with that dreadful disease, CON
sumption, and God saw fit to take her
from that bed of pain to rest in the
SaviOr's arms. She leaves father,
mother and several sisters and brothers.

Pleasant Mount, where she was laid to
rest.
Mrs. Will McCaleb and children re-
