Chamita.

Chamita was old when the Dutch
bought Manhattan Island from the In
dams for the price of a four-cylinder
runabout. So Chamita can, in a way,
look down on New York; but 1t must be
admitted that while Manhattan got a
later start. she has been making the
better progress for the last century or
two.
At the time the Dutch were closing
their famous real estate deal Chamita
was a little mud Indian village on the
Rio Grande. whose people titled their
corn and cut their hay in constant fear
of the warlike Apaches. Today the
Apaches are going to school and selling
moccasins to tourists; Chamita has
post office and a church and a store;
but the little mud pueblo is just what
1t was in those other times, and the
simple, peaceable people are just as
amiable as in the days when the
Apaches chased them.
You come to Chanlita on a little red
railroad that clacks over it's narrow
gauge track at all of ten miles an hour
The Rio Grande rolls sluggishly along
beside you, it's winding serpent trail
green behind it and before it, for miles
in either direction. like a green snake

Stopping Hail by Gunfire.

Vineyard owners in France are this
year utilizing a peculiar sort of gun
as a means Of stopping hailstorms,
which are prevalent and frequently
ruin the grape crop. The mechanism
consists of a large breech-loading gun
supported on tripod. A funnel-shaped
smokestack, which is a continuation of
the barrel passes through the roof
and distributes the smoke and force Of
the explosion into the atmosphere. This
anti-hail gun is fired against dark
clouds which indicate coming storm,
and in many cases effectually scatters
them.
