WAITING FOR RAIN.

Did you ever notice the difference in
your feelings when long drought
| breaks2
Everybody feels depressed-a little
as if the crack o. doom were about
four minutes away. Grass is khaki in
stead of green. The shrubbery is wilt
ed. The tree leaves hang dejectedly.
Everything looks as it would if the
last rain had fallen that would ever
fall, and the feeling TIT such may
be the case cannot wholly be fought
off. Clouds-nice, gray black, damp
looking clouds-have gathered time
and again and filed you with hope,
but they drifted away after only a
stiff breeze and maybe a little light
ming and thunder.
This time it looks the same way. A
cool wind is blowing, but it can t mean
rain. That IS just the way it acted be-
fore. when you got fooled. It is light
ming in the north and east, and you
hear a distant peal of thunder. But
that doesn't mean anything, for it did
that before. There are clouds boiling
up-a rolly proscenium arch over a
plain, drab curtain reaching to the
horizon.
That looks more hopeful, but your
heart is fighting against hope. You
are depressed and afraid to get over
it for fear you will just have to go
to the trouble of getting depressed
again.
Then comes gust of wind-a sharp,
defiant gust-and there are wet drops
in it. Your heart stops beating for
moment, through downright delicious
ness of joy. But you won't let your
self be too
There! It's raining cats and dogs!
Get that window shut! Bring in that
chair off the porchi
Now you can take a deep breath and
resume the plans for the future that
YOU had left off, involuntarily and
hopelessly, a week or ten days ago,
your whole existence having been I'M
consciously merged into one waking
and sleeping, day and night prayer for
rain.
You smile with the joy of child.
Things that looked ominous to you
dav ago-why, you can laugh right IN
their faces now. It has rainedl 1t
has rained! And living once more is
worth while.-Chicago News.

MAKING DYNAMITE.

So thoroughly deceptive is dynamite
in the making that you are apt to be
disappointed on viewing the surface of
things. You could more readily fancy
thunderbolts Ieaplng and crashing from
tender blue skies than that the most
fearful forces in creation are hidden
under such a peaceful exterior. Nitro
giycerine, cupful of which would dis
tribute you over square miles of land
scape, is diligently mixing around you
in hundreds of thousands of gallons.
1t is making itself in big iron retorts,
cascading down ieaden cutters, and mer,
rily tumbling in minute Niagaras into
immense watts, where the deliquescent
yellow peril pursues its journey pow
derward. Out of one receptacle it fares
furiously through special lead coils,
driven only by cooling blasts of air,
and is drawn off like draught ale and
piped on to the next perfecting stage.
Gaze with the nitroglycerine expert into
one of those big ealdrons. The interior
is brilliantly Illuminated by electricity,
the only illuminating agency permitted
in or about the danger houses.
At the bottom is a molten, sullen
fluid. CHANGING cautiously at the Their
mometer, the guide tells you that the
writing mass is nitroglycerine 1t is
being fused with nitric and sulphuric
acids, and you are casually informed,
as the expert sends a cooling stream
through the pipes, that it is very neees-
sary to keep the temperature below so
degrees. Once above the so degree
dead line, so to say, the treacherous
liquid might instantly voice itself in
such deafening explosion as those in
close proximity may never hear but
once. Let the composition be quiescent
for but a few seconds. and it's stiffness
suddenly becomes that of death, in con
sequence of which extreme vigilance is
practiced in keeping it constantly agi-
tated as well as properly temperatured.
Around you are other houses, at uni
form distances apart, and connected by
a series of narrOw-gauge tracks, where
in workmen are railroading nitrOgly-
cerine from here and pulp cotton from
there, to be compounded into dynamite
and blasting gelatine. Greatest care is
taken in rolling the product from house
to house. As soon as a loaded cart is
ready to pass out of the nitroglyeerine
house, for instance, a semaphore signals
from an adjoining station, to which the
consignment is carefully hurried.
Around you are long storehouses packed
with pulp in tons of innocent whiteness.
Presently this pulp will assume tan
color under the nitrating process, and
then, suddenly becoming Carbonite, Red
Cross, Hercules, ,IudsOn and Giant Pow
der, Forcite, or what You order. it de-
velOps the quasi virtues of dynamite
dynamite or blasting gelatine, in which
more natural forces are condensed to
the cubic inch than exist anywhere else
in creation. Death, curbed and sleep
ing, eneircles you in gallons and TONS
threatens at every turn, in
the form of potential pulverizing forces
But the man and the mercury are there
also, alert, responsive, reliable.-Les-
lie 5 Weekly.
