Chemical rainmakiEg has another
success to us credit. It was tried in
Warrensburg, Mo-, three times last
year, and each experiment was fol-
lowed by good shower, so that when
corn began TO suffer again this year it
was decided to try it once more. A
fund was raised recently and work be-
gun the following Wednesday after
noon. During Thursday night heavy
rain fell Sulphuric acid and zinc are
used. These generate hydrogen,
which is lighter than air and rises.
The theory is to induce storm center
by establishing an upward current of
air. The experiment cost less than
500, and the resulting rain was worth
many thousands of dollars.

Chicago to Europe for Pleasure.

Chicago is beginning to build steam
ers for direct voyage to European
ports The Counselman quartet of
ships, 265 feet long, AZ feet wide, are
not primarily intended for passenger
service. Their size is dictated by the
width of the Welland canal and St.
Lawrence river. Smaller ships and
slower have made the ocean crossing
successful. Ocean travel for pleasure
ought to be slow travel The crowded,
numbering big ships are too thronged
and too speedy. The pressure and
hustle of one side Of the world is
scarcely forgotten on them before that
Of the other side begins. Chicago has
done wonderful things in her time.
Odessa was once the great grain center
of the world. Chicago took away her
title. When the sanitary canal shall
become a ship canal Chicago will have
learned Low to build great ocean
steamships. Meanwhile it is no rash
prophecy to predict that from this
port passengers will be setting out in
a year or two for a pleasure ard health
trip to Europe. Chronicle.

I haven't changed my boots, you know.
Because didn't care.
I'm going down to have my tea,
Where all the ladies are,
And won't they point and state at me,
And frown at dear mamma?
And all the men will nudge and chaff =
But I don't care. Hurray!
For let them joke and let them laugh!
I'll not be kissed today!

Children of the Foam.

In the wild October dawning,
When the heavens angry awning
Leans to lakewood, bleak and drear,
And along the black, wet lodges,
Under icy, governed edges,
Breaks the lake in maddened fear.
And the woods in shore are moaning,
Then you hear our weird informing,
Mad, late children of the year;
Ride we, ride we, ever home,
Lost, white children of the foam.
w Wilfred Campbell.

A MAGNIFICENT BIRD.
Eagle Captured by Barry Brothers a
Splendid Specimen.

splendid Specimen.
The eagle caught by the Barry boys
near the first ward school house Sun
day afternoon is a fine specimen of his
kind, measuring fully feet from tip to
tip of his wings. The bird is confined
in a house back of the boys home on
West Johnson street. Just where he
came from is a matter Of surmise only
Patrick Doris of 422 West Johnson, a
resident of Madison and vicinity for
over As years, tells of the capture of
an eagle in 81 by farmers boy, liv-
ing some ten miles from the city. Mr..
Doris says that the bird caught by the
Barry boys is fully the size of Old Abe,
the war eagle of the 8th Wisconsin.
The eagles are found now in the pine
regions to the north. and it is probable
that this one is from there. The facs
of the birds lighting on the street,
among the houses, is peculiar and
would indicate that it was making a
long flight. That the birds do this is
we'll known, there being many in
stances where these fierce birds Of the
air have been seen far from their
eyries. AS the boys moved towards it
the eagle took flight, but struck
against wire and fell TO the ground,
being captured while still stunned. 1t
is fierce. so the theory of it's having
been pet must be discarded. The
boys are thinking of giving Ringing
brothers a chance to enlarge the orni-
biological department of their me-
nageries.
