Artificial Rain-control.

The electric theory of rain rests up
on strictly scientific data, wherein 1t
differs from the old schemes Of shock
ing the air by dynamite explosions
with the vague hope Of thus inducing
condensation Of moisture; or OF build
ing great fires with the expectation
that the rising currents Of heat and
smoke will somehow serve to condense
the atmospheric vapor. The failure OF
these schemes, which never command
ed the support Of leading scientists.
have hitherto brought the whole sub
ject of artificial rain-control into dis
repute.

WISCONSIN STUDENTS
FLEE BEFORE FLAMES
Fifteen Hundred Driven From Glass
Rooms, Many Miraculously Escaping
Death, by Fire Which Destroys Main
Hall

Madison, Wis. Oct 10.-Fifteen hun
dred students, many of whom had
miraculously escaped from death or
serious injury, fed from class rooms
in the main hall of the University of
Wisconsin this forenoon when fire of
unknown origin swept the building.
The main hall, which is valued at
100000, is insured for $4,000. The
contents of the building are valued at
$4,000. The fire is believed to have
started in the literary society room.
Student members of the university
fire brigade, augmented by the entire
city department, fought the flames
which were famed by a gale.
Governor Phillips announced that he
would amend the call of the legisla-
ture, which is scheduled to meet in
special session this afternoon, to place
a proposal for an appropriation for a
new building before that body.
