Harvard Professor Explains That
Precipitation Is Really
Forced Draft.

Cambridge, Mass.-Now we have the
truth about rain making! Prof. Alex
ander McAdie. climatology expert and
director of the Blue Hill observatory
at Harvard. offers an article to this
effect In the current issue of the Har-
ward Alumni Bulletin. Clouds can be
taken into the laboratory and studied

and tiat 1t would take considerable
time to tell of natural rain makers. A
great cause Is the mountains.
Experiments now In progress by
Bancroft and Warren under the
auspices Of the air service" the ar
ticle says, indicate the possibility of
clarifying cloudy atmospheres by
spraying with electrified sand from
above. 1t seems feasible.
"Fog, whether In the streets of Lon

or over flying fields, Is essentially a
wall built of ionized. indicated, vapor

Quite remarkable wall, too, for
while II often rests on the ground IL

And this without the slightest noise or

always falling and fading and yet at

ful of fog stuff contains about thou
sand bricks; and all these squeezed
tightly together will make only small

air upwards, or else sidewise into an

the forced draft which counts. The
simplest case of upward push is the
shower of summer. The surface air

NEW ROGUES' GALLERY.

One of the greatest assets to any
police department is the photographs,
finger prints and compiled facts about
the well known criminals about the
country. This is termed in police par
lance a "Rogues' Gallery"
Whenever a suspect or a criminal is
apprehended this gallery or file of in
formation and photos is consulted and
this proves a great aid to forwarding
the cause of justice.
Wildwood is to have a Rogues' Gal
lery within a few days. Ordinarily
such a collection of information costs
at least $500, but while Wildwood's
will be complete it will cost about $25;

of Police Oakford M. Cobb and City

HAMMONTON WINS.

Wildwood High School went down to
defeat at the hands of the strong
Hammonton team on Saturday by the
score of IS to 8. The n bad inning
cropped up again. This time it was
the second. Capuccio, the big catcher,
tore off a screaming three Dagger to
the left field fence. After this the
local lads made their errors and Gar
rison temporarily lost the location of
the plate and franked three men to
first on balls. After that fatal inning
the big fellow pitched good ball. He
famed a total of twelve batters and
allowed ten hits. The home boys never
quit and in the last inning seemed
sure to score for the first two men
up hit safely. Then Olson came to
the bat with instructions to bunt. He
carried out his orders, but the bunt
was poor, being a pop fly that was
caught by the pitcher who doubled up
Garrison at first. The bunt looked
like a good play at that time for it
had been worked in each one of the
preceding rallies to perfection, and to
the CONSERVATION of the slipping Wis
itors. Had it succeeded Olson would
have been the hero of the game. But
it failed, and the one who gave the
order is PANIED. That's the way the
game always goes. The line up:

M|STR|AL IN
ALASKA CASE

SEATTLE, Oct 31--Federal Judge
Edward f. Cushman has declared the
suit of the Ellamar Mining Com
pany. of Alaska, against the Alas.
ka Steamship Company, after the
jury deliberated 43 hours. was a
mistrial and the Jurors have been
ordered to resume deliberations.
The mining company charged that
the steamship line was dilatory in
moving ore from Ellamar to the Ia
coma smelter, causing congestion at
the mines and heavy loss through
the delay because of the market
changes In the price of copper. The
mining company brought suit for
$127.353 damages for purported
breach of contract.
The verdict was sealed last SattIr-
day and when opened yesterday in
Judge Cushman's court, one juror
declared he was not satisfied with it.
A poll of the jury then showed four
members not willing to stand by the
verdict and Judge Cushman ordered
them to resume deliberations.
The verdict, as returned. gave

MANS FINGER GOES up AS PINch j..
HITTER REPL AGING HIS LOST NOSE

= SYDNEY, N. S. w, Oct. 31.lThe
successful grating of new nose on
to the face of human being has
been made possible by the wonders
and triumph, of modern surgery, 1t
was demonstrated here recently when
the operation was performed on
Thomas Kilcullen at Sydney Hos
pital.
Kilcullen lost his nose through an
operation. Surgeons expressed the
belief that they could graft nose
to his face, using the middle finger
of his left hand for the missing or
gan.
The delicate and painful opera
tion took three weeks. The finger,
still attached to Kilcullen's hand,
was bound closely to his face, after
the skin had been prepared to makN'
the grating possible. His left hand
and arm we're bandaged so that they
could not be moved and in that
position Kilcullen remained until the
graft was completed, when the fin.
ger was severed from the hand.
The surgeons said that Kilcullen
will be able to breathe through the
transplanted finger and will even be
able to blow it. They could not
guarantee that it would serve as
an organ with which Kilcullen could
distinguish various odors.
