RAILROAD STATISTICS.

Vast Systems in 1900.

Washington, July 15.-The inter

railways in the United States for the
year ended jane 80, 1900. Sixteen rail-
ways went into receivershiP during
the year. while s. were taken out of
receivershiP hands, leaving - in re
ownership on June 80. 1900. The az
gregate mileage was 49, SS, includ-
ing 1913 $50 of single track. The com
missions report includes 2,O25 rail
way corporations. The total num-
Der OF locomotives and cars was i
4SS,5O1. The railways averaged 20 10
cOmotives and 753 cars per 100 miles
of line. There were 1,O17,653 railway
employees of all classes and S577, 264, 81

net earnings from railway operation
were S525, BOB, an increase of over

LIBERALITY.

He sat In the sheltered corner
OF a rich, luxurious pew,
A man of wealth and a load of health
Just one of the favored few
And heard the words of the preacher
And drank in the music grand
That rolled from the soul of the organ
Like a voice from the promised land.
1t seemed that the music lifted
A load from his weary heart,
And he heard the song of the angel thrOng
And wished that he might take part;
And the words Of the aged preacher
Found a lOdgment In his breast,
And he IOnged for the crown Of the righteous
And his sweet. eternal rest.
Praise God - he sang with feryor,
From whom all blessings fow;''
And he also sang, in a voice that rang.
"Al creatures here below
But when the collection basket
Reached him with its good intent
He thought he was mighty liberal
When he dropped in copper cent?

man to Mr.. Stiger to investigate and
the tobacco planters of Samatra have
also appealed to him. In South Africa
the farmers want the cannon for bring
ing down rain from the clouds that so
often pass them over. They do not
cOnfOund it, however, with the Ameri-
can rain-making machine. They know
that moisture must first be present
before bombarding or anything else
can be of effect. As to other pOssibili-
ties of the cannon there is that Of
aboIishing frost. Herbs and resinOus
wood are often burned so as to shelter
the plants under a screen of smoke, but
the cannon have been tried in the
Beaujolais. Two of them were appOr-
toned to a hectare, about two and one
half acres, and they were fired pori-
zontially about 200 yards over the
fields. The ground was rendered damp
and warm, though the surrounding
soil was cold and frost laden. But the
most astounding use of this artillery
has been found in Madagascar and
Algeria-to fight grasshoppers. 1t is
claimed that the shots cut discOurag-
ing swath in the invading swarms.
And now the question is what might it
not do to a cyclone? There is serious
food for reflection in that same ques-
tiOn.
In the thickly-settled vine-gro wing
districts of France, Spain and Italy
one cannon to about each quarter sec
ton is required, and upon the approach
and during storm the shots should
be discharged one each minute. The
later cannons are much improved over
NJ. Stiger's crude invention, but the
same quantity of powder and prOjectile
are still in use-a light wood or cork
! The most plausible theory advanced in
regard to effect Of the shots is that as
the projectile ascends it forms whirl-
wind ring which enters the heavy
banks Of clouds. forcing the warm ali
Of the lower strata up into the upper
strata where the hail is formed. This
stops the further formation Of stones
and reduces to slush any that should
happen to be already formed. As proof
of this theory an instance is cited
where the storm got the start Of the
gunners and hail began to fall. The
men worked necessarily, however, and
soon the hail turned TO sIush and then
rain.
The American rainmakers attempted
to bring on local precipitation by the
use of currents of hydrogen gas charged
with electricity. Recent experiments
in wireless telegraphy have thrown ad-
ditiOnaI light on the question. The
operation was scientific and plausible
where the atmosphere was moisture
laden, but where the attempt was made
upon atmosphere without humidity
failure was certain. The prevention
Of hail storms and causing Of timely
rainfall would certainly be the greatest
boon to this section Of country.

No one Appeared to Protest.

Kansas City. Mo, July 16.-The
state board of railroad commissions
ers met here yesterday to hear pro-
tests from the shippers and people
of Kansas City against the proposed
consolidation of the Memphis and
Frisco railroad systems. The most
remarkable feature of the meeting
was that no one appeared to protest
and the railroad board openly said
that the sentiment in Kansas CITY
was apparently different from what
1t had been led to understand.

SHOOTING AWAY HAIL STORMS.
Large Cannon Are Successfully Used For
This Purpose in the Fruit Growing
Districts of France and Spain.

! That misery loves company is only
too true, yet it is none the more graft
flying to learn that hail storms are
common the world over. They are not
peculiar to the western part of the
United States, being prevalent in Eu-
rope, Asia and Africa.
In many countries of Europe system
attic bOmbardment of the clouds with
cannon of large caliber has been re-
sorted to in an attempt to prevent and
dissipate hail storms, and the expert
ments have proven so successful that
it has been reduced to almost a science
in France, Spain. Italy, Austria, Swift
| erland and other countries.
/ Not until 1896 was the first real hail
cannon fired. Albert Stiger, burgo-
master of Windisch-Feistritz, Syria, a
vine grower, was the inventor. 1t was
| simply an old discarded locomotive
smOkestack set on an oak stump, with
an opening cut in the side OF the
| stump so that a mortar could be slip
| ped under the stack. This mortar was
\ loaded with so grammes Of powder
! plugged with a cork wad, and fred of
with fuse. Stiger used his cannon
successfully on several destructive hail
storm clouds and raised a full crop,
whereas his neighbors who had no pro
lection of this kind suffered a loss of
one half their crop by hail. NJ. Stiger
refused to patent his invention, on
account of small planters, but he at
once began manufacturing the cannon.
Within year there were 80 shooting
stations within the district and 1t has
not hailed In that region since.
Down into the Tyrol came word of
the magic wetterschiessen weather
cannOn) and soon all southern Europe
was interested In the invention. France
was a sufferer from hail, and stories
we're still told Of the great storm Of
July Is, 17SS, which travelled across
Europe leaving a devastating line to
the Baltic and causing loss Of $4,000
600 francs, or nearly s., 100000, In France

index Of her woes was the insurance
rates Of - and 1T1k per cent OF crops,
with settlements bad at that. Natur-
ally she wanted the weather cannon,
and with characteristic Fren CD graft
tude she coined a name for It-para-
grele.
Soon after followed the f1,st auti-hail
congress at Casale, Italy, in 1879, and
from then on the records take on an
official character. Reports showed that
over 10000 cannon had been installed
in Italy during the year and that where
