Cloud Shooting.

CLOUD shooting is becoming a reg
ular form Of artillery practice in many
continental countries. The object of
this atmospheric gunnery is to dispel
threatened hailstroms. The most re
cent form Of gun is a funnel-shaped
barrel Of iron with broad muzzle, so
that the discharge shall be distributed
over as large 4 space as possible. The
effect Of the discharge is to create a
small but powerful whirlwind which.
it is found, disperses clouds that would
otherwise descend in hail. So strong
is the gust Of wind sent upward that
it kills birds 1T great heights.

OOnn REVIEW says:
Comparisons Of the volume Of current business
with results at the corresponding date in previous
yeaf2 are so uniformly favorable that the outlook
can only be regarded with confidence. Senai-an-
nual statements are now sufficiently complete to
make It certain that the first half OF 1906 the
most prosperous six months period in the nation
history, and unless heavy cancellations occur the
last half OF the year will establish a still higher
and steel industry. the only idleness being due 20
