Rainmaker's Hard Lines.
Philadelphia Ledger.

One Of the cruelest things that ever hap
pened TO a scientist was the occurrence of
violent thunderstorm In the -Adirondacks
just as Professor Myers, the rainmaker,
was about TO send up his balloons. The
professor had been imported from Texas. at
great expense TO break the drought, and but
for an unfortunate delay In the arrival OF
the apparatus he would have discharged
his bombs in the air before the storm ar
rived and would have thus earned Dr. Sew
ard Webs honorarium and demonstrated
the efficiency of his practice. We think
that he is as much entitled to reward as he
would have been had the storm followed
and not preceded the experiment.. but TO re-
feet upon the chance OF a happy sequences
so narrowly missed must be hearbreaking.
