New Rain Producer.

The latest Australian newspapers
contain particulars of some expert
ments. which are said to have been
more or less successful, of a novel
method Of producing downfall Of
rain, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
The inventor makes this statement:
II claim to produce rain by send
ing up continuously from three centers
column of gas made by certain
chemicals. The gas, if sent up for a
maximum of thirty-two hours, will
produce rain over range of ninety
miles at any altitude. with any sky,
and with the wind from any quarter.
I do not need to wait until the wind
In from the usually. rainy quarter. In
one experiment made the barometric
conditions were quite unfavorable, yet
I produced rain. The gas, you see,
causes In the different strata Of tho
atmosphere a vacuum. This vacuum
is the center Of heat storm and In
filed by dense clouds that contain
rain. These clouds come down with
the gravity Of the earth, when the
rain descends.
''The rain is different from ordinary
rain found in districts in which expert
ments have been made. 1t is tropical
rain, coming from the very lofty re-
gions, being slight at first. and then
later descending In heavy showers
and bucketfuls. My operations have
been conducted In an inclosure twelve
feet by eight. Though I cannot, of
course. give away my secret. 1 may
tell you that the chemicals have to
be changed in accordance with the
conditions"

People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that af1ict
humanity and undermine the constitu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
&! When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full of
pimples and splotches. Itching, sca1y
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nourish-
ment to the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluggish, impure blood than any other
cause. To build up the blood. restore

West Africa has the most unhealthy

of unheaithiness are revealed.
