Making Rain.

The Yankees are often accused of say ins that they "lick creation ;"some recent experiments for the artificial production of rain seem almost to justify the boast. Within the last three weeks nine showers of rain, of which one was considerable, have bem artificially produced in a region almost rainless normally*. The district selected for experiment ty the United States Agricultural Department. is near the midland staked plain* of Texas, a grazing country, were apiculture is im possible, because of the aridity of the climate. For more than three years no rain has fallen there, except in rery occasional small showers. On Wednesday the vegetation wasparched, the skyunclou3ed, the barometer at 30-50, the hydrometer between dry and very dry. The cowboys, who are shrewd judges of the weather, declared thst rain was impossible. With this condition of the atmosphere, the following experiment was tried :— " Five balloon», each twelve feet in diameter,, and charged with one-third oxygen and two-thirds hydrogen, were exploded by electricity or time fuses, at heights ranging from one thousand feet to five miles. Three hundred and fifty pounds of raek»a-rock dynamite was also exploded in scattered packages, of from ten to twenty pounds at interval* oi one minute, ending at 10 o'clock p.m. -M 3 o'clock tlie next morning a sharp clap of thunder was followed by heavy rain. At sunrise a beautiful rainbow was seen. The rain stopped at 8 o'clock, but began again to fall after "more explosives had been used."—"Farmers Gazette."
