For four years now Miss Sophie bail been "motliei-iii'j" the two children of lier dead sister. Until Mnttle grew old enough and strong enough to go to work Aunt Sophie bad been hard put to It to make ends meet iu the little household. She bad sewed and mend ed, milked bet- cow, tended ber own chickens, cooked, scoured, and saved to keep Mattle nnd tbp Ley. Harry, decently nt school. She bad even found time to do some plain sewiug Tor the neighbors, and It was agreed on till sides that Aunt Sophie hadn't "a lazy bone iu ber body." Mattle's wages as a "machine girl" In the but ton factory helped wonderfully In this email household, but it made the old maid's heart bleud to see her net olT for the shop every morning, and poor Harry, who was ten. looked very dis consolate loitering uway to school without his sister. Mr. Klngsland, the button manufac turer, bad been very kind to Miss So- ihle and to Mnttle. In fact, bs bad "made a place" for the child, anil had pone out of bis way to advance net la the works, with a corresponding in -rense of pay. But be was a practical business man for nil that, and the hours were lout, the work hard and the wages lint over much.

He was no hero In her eyes, for the little old maid didn't 'go In" for heroes. She fancied that he would make a gentle, considerate. safe" husband for any woman, nnd "He's like n father to the children already," she caught herself saying one night. Aud nfter that she thought or Klngsland in n new light. What an advantage it would be for Mnttle and Harry to have a guardian, n protector, a father like that? .Mat lie. poor child, wns not fitted for such bard work. The opportunities for n girl, or even for a boy. were so small In the small town. Then they were such pretty. Imaginative. nmlnld children. She, Aunt Sophie, bail nlrindy determined to devote her life to them. Why not complete ber devotion to them by "marrying Klngsland"? llr.- reflections always came back to that.

She had let hlm into the little parlor, but be stopped her with: "Don't mind the light. Miss Sophie. I Just want to say a lew things. I fctd n.oro collected, easier, Iu the dark." The scared little spinster wondered If she might fnlnt, but sat down in the far coiner with n queer little sigh. Ho went on, speaking rapidly, nnd very plainly. "1 am thinking of getting married.

The mill god if the savage wns frightened with torn :oms nnd hallooing, or wheedled into 'giving down" by sacrificial offerings, ionic of them probably human beings, iideed. the folk lore of most primitive eoples fchows that noise was thought o produce rain. The (Sreeks and llo nans had rain gods und numerous harms ami rites for controlling the veather. 1'ausimiiis describes such a Ite, which was performed, as occasion lemauded, oil Mount I.ycaeus, In Arca 11a. A hollow stone (maiiulis lapisi Kan kept outside the Porta Capena, jear the Temple of Mars, mid in times if drought was drawn Into ltome. Some .'Illages in the central portion of India it 111 have olllclals called tlapogarl. whose sole duty Is ralnmaklng. When t does not rain often enough, and re iioiistrniices are of no nvnil. the !ap'o jams Is regularly and publicly Hogged iutil the gods relent. STUDY OF UAINFATX. I'ntll practically the beginning of the llneleeiiUi century the questions of alnfall r.nd ralnmaklng received little icrious study. "The whole subject was n the bands of the gods, and magic lies and prayers were tile only effect ive agenclis." .Tames Hutton, M. I).. if Kdinbiif.li, In ITS I, made what was ipi.areiitly the Hrst statement of the resent theory of rainfall. "There is," he says, "nn atmospheri cal appearance which Is not explained )v th" known laws of bent and cold t Is Hie breath of animals becoming risible In belli-; expired Into an ntuios- iliere which is cold or moist, and the transformation of transparent steam nto the state of mist when mi." "d with .lr which is of n colder temperature." DUST AND 1'AIN. ft is now generally believed tbnt rn!n s caused by the mingling of currents if air differing in temperature and hit nidity. The capacity of the warmer iirrent to hold mointurc Is lessened by 'ts cooling to a point wheu clouds ;whlch are simply aerial fogs) lira formed, and finally to such nn extent :lmt the cloud Is deposited on the earth is rain. Au cssentlul condition, bow ver. seems to be the presence of dust particles lu the atmosphere, which fur nish nuclei around which the drops form. The olr of the surface of the ;urth Is ut all times loaded with ml aute particles or dust. Mr. Altken. a Scotch, meteorologist, counted lliO.ixs) lust particles per cubic centimetre of air collected on n fine day, mid 112,000 In nlr examined immediately ufier a ieavy rain. The important part which dust plays '.n tho formation of rain can be readily Jenionstrnted experimentally. If a glass vessil Is tilled with warm, moist llr and then cooled sultlelently, Orst n fog forms in the vessel, nnd as the tem perature Is further lowered a minia ture rain storm occurs. If. however. Hie air is carefully freed from dust be fore being placed In the receiver cool ing simply causes Its contained moist jre to condense and run down the sides 3f the receiver. When Professor 3. 3. Thomson wished to count the corpus 3les in nn atom he produced a minia ture rain storm similar to that just de icrlbed, except that Instead of ordinary lust particles he had Ions as the nu ;lei of his raindrops. Thus. It may ventually be found that electrical dis ruptions and combinations and lloent gen ray phenomena also play n part lu the production of ruin. WATEH IN THE AIR. According to Professor Newcomb the llr of "a room of ordlnury sizu" con tains a quart of wnicr. and about the jc.me average proportion exists In the general atmosphere, so that the air Is really n great sponge "which sops up the water from the earth und the sea by evaporation, nnd redistributes It In tiie form of ruin upon pioier squeez ing." It was calculated by "Farmer" Dunn that If nil the water in the air ?ould lie conuensed nt oncp It would :over the earth with a layer four Inches Seen. One inch of rainfall over n iiiuare mile ixcecds 1,000.000 cubic- feet of water. SOI.AIt AND LUNAR INFLUENCES Sir William Herschel's announce ment that there was a close relation be tween sun spot and the price of wheat was rect-lved with derision lu 1801. aud It Is but Just now being justified. There undoubtedly is such a relation, ns a careful study of solar nnd terrestrial records shows, and rainfall coincides In quantity with variations iu the uum ber of spots ou the sun.

Espy, of l'ennsyl 'nnla, as 9 corollary to Lis theory of itorms. announced a method or urtiu dnl i-uluuiiiklng. which consisted 1n the wilding of enormous flies throughout Irought stricken reglous. These would ;ouse greut upward currf ots of hot air. ind produce an atmospheric condition ilm'lar to that now called a storm cen. "ul ' u" iressure It Is tuld that the Australian Govern neut in 1884 proposed to test Espy't 'luory. but upon consulting tbe uov iinnient astronomer tbo latter pointed ut that even if tho theory were correct It would require the buruiug of 0,000, 90 tons of coal dally to obtain a two thirds Increase lu tbe rainfall of fijd- ae.f, and tbe scheme wus abandoned It too expensive. CANNONS AND RAIN, Napoleon It credited with Urtt nolle lug and making use of the "fact" that battles aro usually followed by hy rale. During the Franco-I'rumlau Var and nur Mexlcau aud Civil wars, It It atated that every great battle was followed by heavy rain storms In 1STO Edward Powers published a book entitled "War and the Weather." la which 108 buttles of the Civil War are described, every one of which was Im mediately followed by heavy showers. In 18i4 an unsuccessful effort was made to Interest Congress iu the can nonmllng theory. F. Haternianu, in New Zealand In 1S70, proposed thai balloons loaded with explosives be senf up Into the higher nlr strata mid ex plodeil. and in IS8Q General 1). Rug gles. of Fredericksburg. Va.. patented a similar scheme In this country. "II is contemplated." he said lu bis memor hi! to Congress, "not only to preclpltatj ralufnll, but also to check Its fall in overabundance, and also to purify ant' remove the ntniospliere over cities din ing periods of pestilence and epld'.m Ics." About ten years later Congress np preprinted f'.HHX) to test the canuonnd lug theory. The test wns uiuile on ranch in Texas, and although the tirsi newspaper and magazine uccotlliti stated that It was entirely sticcessfu' and that "nt last the farmer could pro duce rain nt will." later authoritative reports, one of them by nu olllclal of the Departlent of Agriculture, who wit nessed the experiments, llatly contra dieted tills view, and deprecated tht spending of any further money by Congress on the work. It was espe dally pointed out that the standing given "professional rainmakers" by t lit (ioveriiuu tit's action materially aldec' them In victimizing the Western farm crs, and the immediate result of tlu Texas experiments was n large ne v crop or "rHln-niaklng" syndicates. CANNONADING HAIL STORMS. It is worth notlug. npropos tills method or raiii-mnklng, that the same devices, cannonading and exploding dynamite In the air, are now used foi just the opposite purpose in Austria, for preventing hail storms, which of ten seriously Injure the vineyards. Its ndvuentes are certain tbnt It Is ef fective, nnd can cite ns numerous in stances of its success ns a storm dis nt Her ns the Amerleau rain-makers do of lis raln-compellliig powers. The present siattts, then, of the ques tion of artilleial rain-making seems tc be that there has been no method yet proposed which Is practical for agricul tural use. The only one which has any scientific basis is that of building enor mous fires throughout tho drought stricken country. The recent rains af ter 11 long drought, immediately U1 lowing extensive forest tires iu tho East, is a curious coincidence, ir noth ing more, which seems to support thli theory. The method Is, however, so expensive as to be or little practical value. The conditions which govern the for mation of storm centres In the atmos phere are probably to complex and va rious that our present knowkdge of meteorological laws is of the most su perficial nnd elementary character. Until this knowledge is vastly in creased, especially regarding condi tions lu the upper air aud their rela tion to the lower strata or U13 atmos phere, it does not seem probable that ihe rainmakers will achieve any practi cal success. V. J. Y. A FAR NORTH NEWSPAPER. Some Iulei-rmlui; Now I If nil From the i:Hlino llulletln. Among other curiosities brought back by Captaiu J. G.

The Eskimo P.ullctlu Is its title and It is published at Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, tho Issue bearing date or May. 1002. It Is a tiny sheet of four small pages, but presents an excellent typographical ap pearance nud is full or interest. The leading news articles tell how Russian prospectors are coming "Over the Ice from Asia"; how Ne-tax-ito. a young kc.i1 hunter, drifted out to sea and Wi-nt ninety-six hours without food; how Muk i uk title, a Cnpe Es- penberg native, was chased by a white man with an axe; of a fierce battle with walrus: or tbe killing or the first whale or the season, nnd or the mur der of "Blsuiark," tho first white man who ever attempted to winter ou tho Big Dlomcdes Islauds. The editorial page announces th.it tbo Bulletin is edited by W. T. Loop and is published at the Alaskan mission ot tbo American Missionary Society. From the paragraphs we learn: 'The lime-honored custom of tat tooing the chins of the little girls lias become obsolete." 'Tb.-re li no new" thing under the sun; not even pneumatic tires. The Eskimos have used pueumatlc bob sled runners ror ages." Being quite up ts dute, in spite of its distance from the niuiu centres or civ ilisation, the Bulletin conducts a guess ing coutest and announces that It will give a suit or clothes to the Eskimo making the nearest guess to the time or the arrival of the revenue cutter, Bear, at the Cape. But, as it is quite often tbe enso with a newspaper, the most Interest ing 'part of It Is the advertisements. The Cape Reindeer Transportation Company has the preferred top of col umn, next to reading, position. Then Tan-e-ua announces polar bear skins for sale.
