wheat strong. September opened 1-sG1-4c
higher, at 20 1-9d5-sc. Longs were dis
posed to take profits, however, and the
price soon slipped on to 70 S-Sc. The de-
cline was checked by reports Of damage
to the spring crop by a hot wave IN the
Dakotas. closed followed by a heavy rain.
The bears tried to get back former hold
ings, and as competition was keen, Sep
TENDER rose quickly to II S-se. Realizing
during the last hour, however, caused a
decline TO lie at the close. An estimate
by Beerbohm Of this years yield in Rou-
mania of only 2s.OOOOOO bushels compared
with 56ooO.O00 bushels last year. helped
to sustain the market. Chicago received

covered on buying by packers. September

How Thunderstorms, Rain, Hall and
Snow Are Initiated.

How Thunderstorms, Rain, Hail and
Snow Are Initiated.
A curious part of stage illusion is
that which may be comprehended un-
der the term theatrical meteorology.
Whatever may be the state Of the
weather outside, the stage manager
within can bring about rain and hail,
wind, or a thunderstorm at will, and
the illusion is so complete as to some
times make nervous members of the
audience insensibly shudder. Hail and
rain are represented by closed wood
en- cylinder about six feet long, which
is INSTRUCTED inside by various cross
pieces, a quart of peas completing the
arrangement. BY turning this cylin-
der first one way up and then the
other the peas rattle through it with
close imitation to the sound OF heavy
rain on a roof The wind arrangement
consists of a wheel about two feet in
diameter, set in a frame like that of
grindstone. THIS wheel is furnished
with ribs on its periphery somewhat
like the floats of a waterwheel, and
drawn tightly over the ribs is a piece
of thick silk. When the wheel is
turned the ribs rub against the silk,
and by turning the handle first quickly
and then slowly, a very good imita-
ton of the soughing of the wind is
produced. Lightning may easily be
initiated by using chemical or electri-
cal means, and the usual mode of pro-
ducing thunder is by shaking a large
sheet of flexible iron plate. Some
theaters have, however, a far more
elaborate and effective thunder ar
rangement, which is used as an aux
iliary to the sheet of iron when a
storm is supposed to reach its height.
This consists of a number of cannon
balls held in a trough and allowed to
fall at the right moment, and to run
over a floor above the ceiling of the
theater. A snow storm is brought
about by a perforated revolving cylin-
der above the stage, charged with pa
per cuttings. Unfortunately, these
messengers of frost have a habit of
resting on all kinds Of projections and
dislodging themselves in subsequent
scenes when their presence is not de-
sirable. Chambers Journal

THE FLOWER GIRL.

Flowers, five cents a bunch!" This
cry came from the pale, tremulous lips
OF maiden of Is summers. 1t was on
crowded city street, and the heat was
so intense that people were longing
to be once more in the seclusion OF
their homes.
II will take ten lunches" said L
polite voice in her ear. She turned
with a start Ten punches! She had
not sold bunch today. With deft
fingers she selected the freshest ana
best punches, and with look of graf
itude handed him the flowers.
Erla Seymons was lovely girl, VINO
did all in her power to help her fee
BILE mother Some days she sold flow
ers.
AS Harold Nelson and the young lady
with him (who was his sister, went
on their way Nena remarked: What
beautiful girl! What pity she has
to sell flowers on the street,"
Harold in his heart echoed her
words. This was not the first time he
had seen Erla Seymons.
And Erla forgot to cry, FLOWERS,
five cents bunch," She was stand
ing idle, her brown eyes fixed on va
cancy, thinking Of what or whom!
Thinking, unconsciously, of the young
man whom she thought so kind.
That night in the library Of the ele-
CANT mansion Of the Nelson's Nena re-
marked: Harold and l saw such a
lovely girl; he was just smitten, and
on a flower girl, too"
"Nena, don't talk in riddles, but tell
me about it, said her mother, gently.
Then Nena, in her light-hearted fash
ion. related their experience of the
morning.
All through this recital the Hon
Frederick Nelson listened intently, but
said nothing; he had also seen Erla
the flowergirl, and remembered her.
The next day. as he was about to
hail a car, his ear caught the sound OF
a voice saying. flowers, five cents a
bunch"
THAT is the girl" he muttered, "she
is the picture of Ntlla."
Why is this man talking in this
manner? We shall have to turn back
and read the past pages Of the his
tory of the present Hon. Frederick
Nelson.
Years ago at college, he had for
roommate a young man about his own
age, named Leroy Seymons.
Leroy was a youth of steady habits
and good character. They soon be-
came fast friends and college chums.
