"An effort is being made In France to
dissipate hailstorms by firing cannon at
the clouds" writes Consul Covert to the
State Department from Lyons. Fifty
two cannon, manned by one hundred
and four cannoneers and their chiefs,
have been distributed over an area of
twenty-five acres of rich vineland. A
high point in the vineland to be covered
by the experiments were selected as the
central post of observation and a sig
nal code adopted under which, when a
shot Is heard from the central post all
the cannon are fired, at twice minute
and more slowly after the first ten
shots. translate the report of the first
firing at the storm cloud this season:
The farmers Of Denice were aroused at
one-thirty o'clock on the night of June
and 6. The storm was very severe.
The artil.eries, from forty to fiffy
strong, fired their guns and stopped the
thunder and lightning. In the neigh
boring communes the people saw col
umns of flame rise three hundred feet
above the cannon when the shots were
fired"

first vessel that l remember being
wrecked on Arch rock" continued Cap
tain Boyd, WAS the pilot-boat Sea
Witch. That was in 1856. All the
pilots had boarded Off and the schoon-

keeper. There was a dense fog aud
the boatkeeper mistook Arch rock for
a .sloop under sail and getting his
course accordingly made the mistake
of his life. All hands were saved, but
the Sea Witch was total loss.
The next wreck was that Of the
clipper ship Flying Dragon in the win
ter Of 1882. She made the fastest
run on record from Newcastle, N. s.
W., thirty-five days, and anchored off
Meiggs wharf. Captain Watson, the
well-known marine surveyor, was in
command Of the vessel, but the pilot
was still in charge when the accident
happened. A sudden change of wind
and fierce squall' drove the Flying
Dragon down on the rock and she be-
came total loss.
1.-THE next vessel lost on the rock was
the bark Autocrat in 1869. She was
loaded with coal and drifted down to

time numberless vessels have made the

Questions
for

Ifyou were offered sure aid in time
OF trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency? !.
II You saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
YOU ignore il to try some insecu1e and
tottering structure
The answer to these questions Is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and You
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why, then, do some women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines OF
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them?

Shag rock No. 1 and Shag rock No.
In San Francisco having been disposed
of. contractors are now busily engaged
in work preliminary to the demolition
of the still more famous Arch rock III
the same maritime thoroughfare. The
forty-niner cannot recall the day when
this picturesque menace to navigation
was not mathematical by the sailor
man. Many a time its destruction has
been suggested, and its demolition
would have been accomplished
long ago but for the sentimental oppo-
sition of a few veteran Californians
who hated to see their Odd-loOking old
friend disappear forever. Residents OF
Sausalito have always been particular
ly averse to its destruction, their cry
always being that it was one OF the
sights Of the bay. Eventually contin-
ued agitation by pilots and others IN
terested in shipping bore fruit, and now
Arch rock must follow in the way of
the two others.
In early days Of CALIFORNIA; history 1t
was q favorite amusement for young
men to wait for an unusually low tide
and then pull boat through the arch.
So far as Is known the first time this
feat was accomplished was in 1857,
when Captain Frank Murphy. one of
the best known pilots of his day, rowed
a small boat through. For few years
the daring trip was occasionally made
or attempted, but eventually couple
of young fellows, in trying to do the
trick, We're dashed against the arch by
the heavy swell. The boat was smash
ed and the young men lost their lives.
Since that time rowboats have given
Arch rock a wide berth.
Frank Boyd, noted pilot of the Cali
fornia coast, voiced the opinion Of all
men in his profession when he called
Arch rock a dangerous spot, and said
1t should have been blown up long ago.
when they come to survey that spot, "
he said, "they will find every inch of
ground In the vicinity of Arch rock
