RAIN MAKERS.
Two Jars Of Acid on a Hill Backed by
the Hope of the Community.


FourGh Of July fireworks in Warens-
burg and Pestle Springs are doing
duty as rain producers. q. A. Nc
Bride, of the Warrensburg Star, told
of the process to-day at the Midland
Hotel. Ats o'clock last night the ex-
pertinent began. Two earthen jars
were filed with a solution Of zinc,
acid and water and placed on a hill
near Pertle Springs. The jars are
small, holding only gallon each. The
solution burns itself out and produces
strong electrical current, the vibra-
tlons ascending upward, the idea be-
ing to attract the electricity and with
it the moisture of the upper strata of
the air. These jars will be replenish-
ed until the current has ascended for
forty-eight hours. Throughout the
day rain-maklng bombs will be sent
up from mortars. These burst at a
height Of 900 feet.
Mr.. Mcbride says that all the busi-
ness men Of Warrensburg are interest
ed in the experiment, Mr.. Mcbride
added: 1.-THE people of Johnson
county have resorted 20 this expedient
a number Of times within the last
two years and each time heretofore a
rain has come within day Of the
trial. The conditions are unfavor-
BILE now, however, owing to the hot,
dry wind from the southwest"

Farmera Annoved hv snake..

DIXON, Mo-, July 5. = A plague Of
snakes is giving the farmers in this
section more than little trouble.
The time is out of memory when the
reptiles were so plentiful as this sum-
mer. The eleven weeks drought is
said to be the cause, and hundreds are
killed daily, They include rattle
snakes, copperheads, moccasins and
other less poisonous species. Poultry
raisers are suffering severe losses from
the depredations of the snakes.
Harry S. West, farmer living in
Dry Creek township, Maries county,
yesterday found a big snake in his
chicken coop. After fight he killed
it. On dissection the snake was found
to contain six chickens, three eggs,
china nest egg and large porcelain
door-knob, with an iron handle, which
had been used as substitute for the
regular decoy nest egg. The snake
was I feet hong and of an unknown
species.
