CAN MAKE 1T RAIN AT WILL.
Charles M Hatfield Never Fails to Open
the Heavens.

the Heavens.
Out in southern California is young
farmer who boasts that he can beat old
Dame Nature ON the rain proposition,
says The Dilneator. Whether Charles
Mallory Hatfield is really responsible for
the rainfall in various parts of his native
Estate and also in Oregon, the ranchmen,
the stockmen, and the miners who re-
ward him for his operations cannot tell
with certainty.
the last three years, Hatfield has held u
contract to deliver" rain. In each in
stance there has been a downpour of
soft. refreshing rain that has benefited
crops, permitted the stocks to be plenti-
fully watered and increased the flow in
the streams so that the miners had sufi-
Gent water for their needs.
In the fall of 1904, southern California
was in the throes of the worst drought it
had experienced in forty years. 1t was
at this time that Farmer Hatfield elected
to become professional rain-maker.
He entered into an agreement with the
farmers to furnish during the ensuing
six months eighteen inches of rain. I'm
der his next contract, a shorter period
was given in which to prove his claim.
He was allowed one week in which TO
make it rain. At the expiration of the
stated time, four and one-half inches of
water had fallen, and there was in this
amount sufficient to fill the largest reser-
voirs.
A powerful electrical apparatus Hat
field insists, is his system of rainmak-
ing. The people of California do not
know the process the young meteorolo-
gist employs, nor are they positive that
he is responsible for the rainfall. They
have never failed, however, to heavily
compensate him for his success in maxi
ing the heavens weep at his behest.

The departmental explanation of the
cause of the excitement among the Utes,
in Colorado, differs from that made by
Capt johnson. the regular army officer
who after investigation declared that
harsh and arbitrary treatment by the
agent in charge of the Indians had ex-
cited them to the pitch Of rebellion. The
Indian commissioner states that the trou-
blesome Utes have exhausted their allot
ment and refuse to work, although OPP
portunity has been repeatedly offered.
There are two sides to every difference,
and if the government win adhere to its
treaty stipulations and in addition assist
the Indians to secure work for their own
maintenance, there ought to be no ground
for complaint. Capt. Johnson found the
Indians hungry. but he may have been
misinformed as to the real cause of their
lack of food.

Pittsburg society is in mourning and
refuses TO be cOmforted
Emil Paur, conductor of the Pittsburg
orchestra, announced a fortnight ago that
| he had engaged as concertmeister the
| celebrated Polish violinist," Wladislaw
Wyganowsky. who had been recon-
mended by the famous Fritzkeiser.
Society was in raptures and columns
were printed about the new concert mas
| ter. When he was alleged to have ar
| rived in town society went into spasms
| of JOY on reading how he had lost his
way in grimy Pittsburg.
| In the first concert Wyganowsky re-
ceivt,d an ovation. Then one gentleman
| in the audience rubbed his eyes, took a
second look, and whispered to his neigh
! Dor: Seems to me I've seen that fellow
| somewhere"
There were others who thought the
| same. Then it came to them all like
| flash.
| Wyganowsky had for some time been
playing fiddle in the cafe orchestra of
| a downtown hotel To be sure, his play
| ing had been most enjoyable, but it was
a terrible shock to have ones idol shat
| tered SO rudely.
! Manager William Mossman of the
| Pittsburg orchestra, said:
while it is true that we did not an
nounce the fact, we still maintain that
! Wyganowsky is a great yiolinist and that
| in his term in the hotel orchestra his
| light was hidden under a bushel."

The Navy Department has ordered the
installation of additional air compressors
in the turrets of battleships to increase
the force for the expulsion Of gas and
fire from the bores of the big guns. after
each discharge. 1t has also ordered the
substitution of loading cars which open
at the sides iastead of the cars which
open on top, in order to reduce the dan
ger to charges that are in position at
the breaches of the guns. These
changes, in addition to the proposed al
teration of the ammunition hoists, will
make TIE handling of the big guns safer
and prevent such accidents as that
which recently destroyed the lives OF al
most an entire gun crew, including the

PeasaneS Curious Dance.

Peasants of the upper Bavarian Alps
are famous for their agility as dancers.
One of their curious dances is as follows:
Eight boys form a ring in the middle of
the dancing ground. They join hands
firmly as they circle round; every alter.
nate dancer filings his feet forward until
his body becomes horizontal and parallel
with the ground. These four then brace
their feet together and. supported by the
others in the ring, they form a rapidly
revolving cross. After little while they
regain their feet and the others form the
