Did you ever hear of Eros?
III you didn't, this is to inform you
that Eros is little planet that be-
longs to the same solar system rs
Venus, and Mars, and the earth. That
is, our sun bosses Eros just like the
sun bosses the earth And, incidental.
ly, Eros comes nearer TO this planet
of ours than any of the suns other
planets. except the moon.
Eros is a heavenly tramp of whose
existence mortals were entirely liz,
norant until 1898, when il was discov-
cred by astronomical sharps. How
ever, the joke is on these sharps
for Eros made us call in 1894, four
years before the astronomers found
him. And the worst of ii all Is that
the astronomers now in business will
never have another opportunity To
study Eros at close range for he has
wandered off into limitless space, not
to return again for close observation
until 1875.
Eros is the first OF the planets TO
upset the popular supposition that
ali planets are round, for Eros, as II

 A RAIN MACHINE

San Antonio, June 16.-(Special)-J. M. Matthews of this city declares he has solved the problem of artificial rain-mak- ing and has invented a machine for the purpose, which he calls the "rainolette." Matthews has worked upon the problem of making rain clouds artifcially for 35 years, and is quite sure that he has the matter in hand now and can precipitate a shower with his machine at any place desired Some years ago Matthews built one of his machines in a crude way in this city and while he did not bring on a deluge or cause a perceptible rise in the surface water levels, he was ehninently satisfied with the results. This machine built is intended to drive an air current upward with a velocity of S11s miles per hour. By this process, the lower or warmer stratas of the atmosphere were mixed in such a manner as to bring about condensation, the moisture of the warm air being condensed by the colder upper strata MT. Matthews Is confident that by the operation of his machine he built A rain cloud which was seen by a num- Der of people, and in the Fecent circular published giving details fof this experi- rnent he gives the names of a number of neonle in the city who say that rain fell i'm their yicinities while he was making his experiment.
