"COD ANCERED' BY EFFORT TO
 MAKE RAIN
CBy International News service)

(By International News Service)
 LONDON, Aug. 26.-An contemplating London newspaper tried to break a long spell of drought by shelling the heavens on two separate evenings with blanks and by dropping bombs from an aeroplane into few tiny clouds.
 The rain didn't come. And now the Rev E. A. Phillips explains why God, according to the clergyman, was angry at the attempt to interfere with the normal processes of nature and with held a rainstorm that actually was on its way, giving France and certain DOT tions of England bounteous showers, but keeping London dry as a bone.
 Tt is Bot right or proper to attempt to interfere with nature" said the Rev. Phillips. "I, with others, was mortified at the thought. God will pro- vide us in due time and He wfR not fail us in this matter"
 The first smelling of the air brought out great crowds. Bombs and the kind of "maroons" used to warn Eng land Of air raids during the war were fired into the heavens for more than two hours. The aext morning two clouds, apparently about the size of an ordinary bedspread, registered ap- pearance in the blue. but that was all.
 The second bombardment brought no better results. though the sky be- came overcast Then the Daily Ex- press, urged on by number of read. CTS who advised the newspaper to shoot the clouds" sent up q 1ilane equipped with small bombs
 The aeroplane swung up above rhe clouds with bombs fixed at the end of a fiftyfoot cable. The bombs were trafled into the center Of the clouds and set off by electricity. The cur rent of displaced air resulting from the explosion sent the plane sliding off at an angle of forty-five degrees. A few moments later the pilot drove back through the bombed cloud and emerged damp from head to foot, but the sufferers 5000 feet below were still parched.

AGED VET SEEKS TIE AID OF POLICE
On Way to Montgomery to See About Pension-Ready
 Assistance Given

| Hobbling along on a cane. taking two or three steps at a time anI then pausing a minute for breath, William Henry Coffman, S6-year- old Confederate veteran. walked in the door at police headquarters early this morning and asked if he could sit down in one of the chairs awhile, as he was very tired.
 After he had rested a bit lie told how he had come to be in Birming- ham without having any place 10 stay. He said he was a member oc the Forty seventh Alabama regi. ment, Company F, in charge of Capt. Dan Clouder, and that he had been engaged in several battles during the Civil war.
 He showed police officers a scar on his right arm which he said had been received while in action. He said he had several other scars on 1 his body but it would be too much trouble to take off all his clothes as he had on everything he had in this world.
 Later questioning by the police re- vealed the fact that the old Confed- crate veteran was on his way to Montgomery to see about his pen sion. He said that up to about four months ago he had always received it regular, but that since then he had not received a single penny to live upon.
 He was dressed in faded blue overall suit, frayed straw hat and tan shoes. He leaned upon a heavy oak stick when he walked and car ried a little tan suitcase in his left hand which looked as if it was about to burst open He opened the suit case later and ii contained a Bible, some papers and other articles which he said he had treasured since boyhood.
 Early this morning the warden at the city jail made a bed for him and after the old fellow had dozed off to sleep a hat was passed around the men at headquarters and quar- ters and half dollars were dropped into it to help take care of the old fellow for a few more days anyway.

THE SPIRIT WORLD

Charles Platt, M D., in the Literary
 Review.
 If there be a spirit world. and if the spirit be without communication with this. our world then we can never know" is otherwise than through faith. If. on the other hand, there be spirit world the spirits of which can enter into communica- tion with this world of ours. then we may reasonably expect here. too. ultimate demonstration and proof. But where shall this proof be sought, and how? Certainly not instrument tally. nor by physical experiment. Assuming q spirit, we can expect only spiritual revelations. and these. it seems likely. would come to us only through the vast unconscious. subconscious storehouse of the mind itself. They would enter through the foundations of consciousness. and not through our materially trained and physically directed sense organs.
 The writer of this is hard headed materialist and monist, but he can yet conceive of a spiritual world. he can even make such a world part of his general evolu- tionary concept: and he can, too. conceive of that world as touching ours in the material intricacies of the minds subconscious impulses. There'is nothing offensive to science in such a fancy---all that ts lacking is evidence.
