to Introduce too many names rather than
in confirming the notices to the really

which deals with the men and women of

1.-THE knights of the Cross" Henry
Sienkiewicz. Little, Brown q co..
Boston.
The author of "Quo Vadis" is present
ed to the English public in another novel
by Mr.. jeremiah Curtin, who has already
translated several works from the pen
of SienlieWicz, one of the most prolific
writer's of the time. The present story
is dated a thousand years after the one
which made the author famous in the
modern world. The scene Is laid in Po-
land and among the knightly warriors Of
the crusading days. "Quo Vadis" was a
historical piece of universal appeal and
IT'S scenes were more or less familiar to
the cultivated public, many of whom
know their Rome as well as they know
New York or London. "The knights Of
the Cross deals with a field much less
accessible to the English reader and
known chiefly through the romances of
Sir Walter Scott. But that writer inter-
preted his time from the English point
of view and injected into his stories much
of modern motive. Sienkiewicz has
shown the influence of the stricter canons
of recent fiction in endeavoring to faith
fully reproduce the age with which he
deals.
knights, mobiles and peasants crowd
,1non the canvas, and each Is clearly
drawn. The mixture Of old paganism and
nominal Christianity comes out In the
devil stories in way that must delight
Mr.. Moncure D. Conway. There Is plenty
of blood and battle, and the beautiful and
heroic maiden adds fervor to the tale and
gives excuse for love. The present vol
ume gives half the story and for Its de-
movement one must wait on the trans
lator and the press. The story will not
have the wide reading Of "Quo Vadis,"
but 1t is thrillingly dramatic, full OF
strange local color and very faithful to
its period, besides having that sense OF
the mysterious and weird that throbs in
the Polish blood and infects alike their
music and literature.

are very attractive, as their plumaee
is rich, burning yellow, brown, and tip

the size of valley quail and derive
their name from their heavy bill,
which is of unusual size for small

INDIAN TRAIN WRECKERs.
Two F,ate Boys Confess Having

Dete; ive Dan Fitzpatrick has been
in VII rrmucca since Friday night
workir : upon the causes of the train

of the circumstances. he came to the
conclusion that the switch had been
tamper-d with. and yesterday arrested
two In, an boys and landed them in

The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1900-05-23

Prof. Gates of Chevy Chase,
near Washington, has discovered
that electricity is indirectly the
cause of rain. He also asserts
that means have been devised for
causing artificial rain ION a small
scale at presently by proper mani
pulatiau of the electric current.
Prof. Gates theory is that if one
locality or one cloud becomes posi-
lively charged, some adjacent
cloud or locality must acquire q
negative charge. Midway between
these two oppositely charged re-
pions OF clouds there must be one
or more secondary regions where
their respective particles commlh-
ole and. one set being positive
and the other negative, they at
tract and form raindrops. One
region, according to the professor,
may be cloud and the other
another cloud or the earth. When
disturbances of the so-called cleo
tric equilibrium Of the atmosphere
occur, differences in density, pres
sure. temperature and moisture re-
suit. This explanationof the cause
of rain is likely to surprise many
who have looked upon 1T as que
simply to condensation of mols-
FIRE in tlle air. It's application III
the laboratory is declared to be
satisfactory. but whether it has
any economic value remains to be
proyen.-Ex.
