TO PREVENT HAILSTORMS.
Acetylene Gun Is Used for This Pur-
pose in the Wine-GrowinE Dis
tricts of France.

Additional interest will be centered
upon the acetylene gas display at the
Pan.American exposition because of
the fact that in France an aestylene
cannon is used by the winegrowers to
prevent hailstorms.- e.
The explosive agent used in the gun
is a mixture of acetylene and air, and
it is fred by an electric ignter. The
nse of acetylene in the gun is designed
to obviate the necessity of keeping a
supply of explosive material on hand
for charging the gun.
The cannon is connected with an
acetylene generator, and is thus al
ways ready for use.
It is stated that IS pounds of car
bde serves for about 1000 charges and
will last-six months.
The valve between the explosive
chamber and the acetylene genera or
is controlled electrically, and the OPP
GRAFTON of the gun consists In closing
then opening it and closing the igniter
circuit to fire the charge.
1t is said that battery of guns may
be installed, covering large area, and
be fred simultaneously from one sta
ton by a single operator.
In sections of the United States
where hailstorms do great damage
a similar acetylene gun might be made
TO do good service

the finger bowls were brought: my

to pay for the dinner? l forgot to
bring any money" But Mrs. Clews,
too, had forgotten to bring any money

with millions at home, but not cent

fellow without discernment or tact,

The day was an ideal one for cleo
