EXPOSITION CLOSED.
Railroads Are Now Figuring Up Their
 Profits


 New York, Nov 1.-Now that the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo is at an end, the railroads are figuring up just how much profit they derived from the exposition travel, says the Times The exact figures have not yet been compiled. but it is known i'll a general way that the general results were highly satisfactory to the roads. The weather during the first two months was indictment and restricted travel during those months. The as sassination of President Mckinley was also an umfayorable element Of the three rates made from New York by the roads, the highest and lowest, being SIG and $9 respectively, were not the most productive of revenue. The best returns were received from the SIS rate, which was good for two weeks. The s rate of the lass few days is said to have been q success, the Lack awanna road alone carrying l ,S24 per sons on this rate.

He vigorously denies that shooting has any effectiveness in de- stioying hail storms or bringing about rain, despite 2 rather prevalent belief and says that it is not worth while for the vineyard districts of this country to adopt such measures as are propos- ed in France for the protection of yiticuIturists.
