The violence Of tropical rain
storms is proverbial; yet never be-
fore has one been scientifically
registered in which so much wa
ter fell in SO short time as at San
tiago de Cuba recently. An Eng

rainfall, found that it was at the
rate Of over four inches an hour
and that between seven and ten
O'Clock in the evening more than a
foot OF water reached the ground.
The storm covered nearly 800
square miles, and in places WAS
heavier than at Santiago. The
Guaninicum and the Platinillo riv.
ers each rose SO feet. The flow
over the waterworks dam, three
miles from Santiago, showed that
at least two and fOur-tenths cubic
feet OF water were coming from
each acre or the watershed each

pushes the knob nj the other end, and
down falls the ash to great applause.
OF course only blank cartridges are
used.
Breaking two glass balls with two
pistols Is almost as simple. One Of the
pistols only Is londed and with shot
The other has n blank cartridge. The
loaded pistol Is aimed between the two
balls, and the shot scatter. breaking
them both. That's the trick.
Distinguishing several numbered can

the target. An assistant hidden behind

care to blow the right candle at the right
