PUTS QU|fTUS ON
THE F|LIBUSTER
House Checks Bourbon Tactics
by Adopting Sweeping
CIoture Roll
DalzeII Says Democratic Acts
Are Idiotic and a Dis
grace


WASHINGTON, April BY adopt
ing a sweeping cloture rule in the
house today the republicans left TO the
democrats very limited powers. No
longer can a flibuster be conducted
against sending to conference bills with
senate amendments; no longer can
motion TO close debate be amended or
discussed, and no longer can motion
to adjourn take precedence over mo-
tion to take recess.
In presenting the rule Dalzell char
acterized tile democratic filibusters of
the last few. DAYS as a sin, idiotic and
a disgrace 10 men.
The democrats were Afforded no op-
portunity TO talk on the question and
were ridden over rough shod. They
tried 10 get even a short time after
ward by various ways seeking to
amend the district of Columbia appro-
sion OF the house. but the republicans,
observing the tactics which were being
purposed. secured ruling from the
chair that all the motions were dfla-
tory.
From that time on for the remainder
of the session the house resumed its
wonted aspect and business proceeded
in an orderly manner.
One Of the few privileges left TO the
democrats was to force roll call on
adjournment, and this they did. but to
no avail, as the motion carried over
whelmingly, and accordingly the house
az 5:35 p. III. adjourned.

not universally accepted. Other ex-
perimenters have tried rockets, and
these have been adopted at some
places.
Now, it would probably be more
efficient to attack, the cloud as 1t were
from it's very seat, than to act upon
1t from the ground. In fact, as Tar
back as 1S47 Arago and Dupuis-Bel-
court suggested the use of a small cap
tive balloon made entirely of copper,
30 as to be impervious, and the sur
face of which would be covered with
sharp points. The suggestion was
not tried.
The same idea has now been taken
I'D by two Belgian a%eronauts, Captain
Marga and Mr.. Adhemar de la Hault,
who, however, use a free balloon,
carrying some powerful explosive,
such as dynamite or guncotton, which
is ignited by some attachment as soon
as the balloon has penetrated into the
hail-carrying clouds. The balloon
used by the experimenters is pear
shaped and of three cubic metres ca
pacity. When filled with hydrogen
gas it has an ,ascensional force of
more than four pounds. Five hun
dred grammes of an explosive, with a
n~itro-cellulose basis, designed by
Captain Marga, are carried, together
with a slow match.
Experimental ascents have proved
successful, and show that in the case
Of a gathering storm-cloud, it will be

Surrender Before Peace.

A French officer. whose ship had
been captured by Nelson, was brought
on board the latter's flagship. He
walked up to the great admiral and

"No," said Nelson. Your sword

There are people to-day who would
take Christ's hand. They say:
Jesus is such a noble character; we

Nay, nay, not so fast. Your sword

EUROPE 20 COLDER.
Temperature Of the Continent Con-
stantly Becoming Lower.

Temperature Of the Continent Con-
stantly Becoming Lower.
Some months ago there appeared
In these columns some tables worked
up by Camille Flammarion to show
changes Of a meteorological charac-
ter which seem to have taken place
In Europe. Writing again, he states
that from actual figures obtained
within the past few years he has be-
come certain that the temperature of
Europe has been falling. France has
been suffering for a long time from
an excess of cold weather, the Their
mometrical readings at Paris having
been one degree below the normal
height.
Other readings show even less ia
vorable results. The fall is more no
ticeable during the spring than dur
ing other periods;of the year. Similar
phenomena are recorded in Great
Britain, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Aus
tria and Germany. In the days of
Philip Auguste, in the thirteenth
century, the wines of Etampes and
Beauvals were the favorite .bever-
ages at court. Henry w., a pro-
nounced bon vivant, frequently ex-
pressed his fondness for the product
of the Suresnes grape. At the pres
emit day there is not a vineyard of
Importance north of Paris, and as for
the petit vim now made at Suresnes,
it has become the drink only of the
poorer classes. :.
In the middle of the sixteenth GEN.
fury Macon was celebrated for its
muscated wines, whereas the musca-
tel grape at this moment can scarce
ly be made to thrive there. Ancient
chronicles mention the cultivation Of
the vine in Northern Brittany, where
now ever apples are not plentiful.
Again, it is to be remarked that trees
which once lourished in the north
of France are at present found in the
extreme SOUTH and a considerable
number have disappeared altogether.
Languedoc 10 longer grows the
lemon; there is not an orange left
in Rousillon. The Lombardy polar,
so familiar and picturesque in old
French line engravings, is now no.
where to be found on French soil.
These are facts which, putting sta
tistics out of the question, serve to
illustrate the changes wrought by
temperature in the great fruit pro-
ducing country OF, France.-Philadel-

plosion in a favorable position for
dispensing the clouds. The explosive,
suspended at some distance below
the balloon, does not injure it, and
the latter may be recovered and USED
again.
Some more extensive experiments
will shortly be undertaken at the
meteorological station at Mogimont,
which has been recently installed by
Mr.. de la Hault, especially for the
purposes of investigating the behavior
of thunder storms and hail.

TIE use OF BALLOONS FOR THE PRE-
VENTI0N OF HAIL.

By the Berlin correspondent Of the ScIEN
TIFIC AMERICAN.
Because Of the terrible damage
wrought by hail in some parts of Eu-
rope, scientists have directed their
attention to designing a means by
which the outbreak of hail could be
prevented, and some success has been
obtained by the use of hail guns,
firing a shot Of either ~gunpowder or
~acetylene against the hail cloud and
thus dispensing it.
Though a number of societies for
the installation of these guns have
been founded, both in Southern
France and Italy, their usefulness is

Intelligence of Bees.

Mons. G. BONNER has informed the
French Academy OF Sciences Of some
experiments, recently tried by him,
which, he thinks, demonstrate that
bees possess a kind of collective in
telligence. One of his most interest
ing experiments was this: He placed
a lump of hard sugar within reach
OF some bees, and near it a basin OF
water. The bees, finding that them
mandibles were incapable of break
ing the sugar, organized a sort of
bucket brigade to carry water from
the basin to the sugar. Having re-
duced it to a sirupy state, they had
no further difficulty. But Monsieur
BONNER noticed, in all his expert
ments, that single bees gave no such
indications of intelligence. Their
minds seemed to wake up only when
they were acting in company.
