The Professor
PLAYED His Part.

So Professor Wilson said all right;
if Napoleon knew that Waterloo was
the place to pull off the big fight and
get away with the bacon, he (the pro-
fessor) would come down and jolly the
dear people along the line, and trust to
Napoleon to do the real directing of the
Wilson star of destiny.
And Napoleon took the Wilson star
of destiny, loaded it in his biggest
cannon and fired it bang in the face of
Little Joe" Brown-which the profess
sor never suspected was going to hap
pen at all-and the impact left Little
joe standing right where Napoleon
found him, but it busted the poor little
star into so many fragments that all

DISCOVERS A WAY
TO PREVENT HAIL.
French Physicians Device a Great
Benefit to Farmers.

The Comte de Beauchamp, distin-
guished Paris physician, is hailed as
one of the greatest benefactors of agri-
culture that France has ever known
owing to his discovery of an effica-
cious hail destroyer.
Some time ago the count discovered
that hail cannot form when there is
no electricity in the air. In the course
of long series of experiments, In
which he was assisted by General De
Negrier, he has perfected an instru-
ment like lightning conductor
which drains the atmosphere of any
electricity with which it is charged.
For some time past this hail destroy
err has been working with success in
rural districts formerly particularly
subject to hailstorms, which, 1t is esti-
mated, cost the farmers and fruit
growers of the country not less than
S40,0O0,O00 year.
Convinced by these results, the Paris
municipal council has decided to In
stall in the capital system of hail de-
stroyers.
They win be placed at three of the
highest points of the city-namely, at
the SUBMITS of the Eiffel tower, the
Sacre Occur and the Pantheon-form-
ing a vast protective triangle.
The provinces are following the ex'
ample Of the capital, and before long
it is expected, the entire country will
be provided with the counts invention
which has the enthusiastic support OF
