TO PREVENT HAILSTORMS.
Acetylene Is Used for This Purpose
in France.
Additional Interest will he centered
upon the acetylene gas display irt tire
Pun-Ainerlcaii exposition becaue of
the fact that In Franco an acetylene
cannon is used by tire wluegiowers to
prevent hailstorms. Tim explosive
agent used In the gtur Is a inlMtire of
acetylene ami air, and it is fired by an
electric igniter. The use of acetylene
In rlre gun is designed to obviate the
necessity of Keeping a supply of ex
plosive material on hand for charging
the gun, The camion is connected
with an acetylene generator, nrtd Is
thus alwnvs ready tor use.
It is stated that G"i pounds of ear hide
serves for about 1,000 cliarees, arrd will
last six months. The valvo between
tho explosion chamber and the acety
lene generator Is controlled electrical
ly, and the operation of the gun con
sists In closing tlm gas-vatvo circuit
for a few seconds, then opening It and
closing tire Igniter circuit to tiro the
churge. it Is said that a battery of
guns may bo Installed, covering a large
area, and be fired simultaneously from
one station by a single operator. In
sections of the United Stutes wltero
hailstorms do great danruge, a similar
acetylene gun might be made to do
good service.

HITCHCOCK IS
VERY HOPEFUL
BELIEVES THAT CALL MEN CAN
BE SECURED.
Bays That by Promising Advance
ment Within a Year to Permanent
Positions Nearly Enough Volun
teers for the "Call" Tosltlons Can
Be Obtained Physical Examina
tion of Piremen Begun by Dr. W.
O. FultonInspection of Hose
Houses to Be Made.
Director of Public Safely F. L.
Hitchcock, lit a conversation with a
Tribune man yesterday, expressed him
self ns being very sanguine of securing
a sufllclent number of men from thu
volunteer force to fill the positions of
uuriK anu call men, in addition to the
permanent nren provided for in the re
organization ordinance.
"or course," said he, "the grcnt ma
jority of the men who have made ap
plications for positions and who have
been examined desire to bo permanent
men, but I believe that when I have
appointed the twenty-two permanent
men provided for In tiro ordinance that
almost enough men to fill out the re
quired quota of bunk nnd call men will
be willing to accept those positions.
"X shall give those who will accept
positions as bunk and call men my sol
emn assurance that Just as soorr as any
more permanent men nre to be ap
pointed they shall be promoted to that
rarrk, no matter who else applies. I
believe that next year we will bo In
suclr shape as to provide for an entirely
paid department, and that those who
are appointed as 'hunk and call men
will only have twelve months to serve.
"A city or Scrnnton's size should
have, and must have, a paid fire de
partment. It's something that's in
evitable, and I feel that tire members
of the volunteer department realize this
arrd will not refuse to accept places as
bunk and call nren."
Tiro colonel was asked if he would
appoint the twenty-two permanent men
Just as soon as It was officially certified
to him that that number had passed
the mental and physical examination,
arrd he replied at first that he would
do so. Tire reporter pointed out that
the reorganization ordinance provides
that tlm volunteer department shall bo
disbanded Just as soon as these men
are appointed, and suggested that if
this was done before an adequate num
ber of bunk and call places had been
filled the department might be seri
ously crippled.
'T haven't given that question much
thought," he replied, "but T will say
that I shall take care to do nothing
that will even for a clay tend to cripple
tire department. That would be inim
ical to the safety of tire vast property
interests of this city. I think the in
tent of the ordinance Is that tho volun
teer force shall not be disbanded until
a complete reorganization lias been
made, or until hunk- riml nnll mnr. in
addition to the permanent men, shall
have been appointed."
He hinted that if ho discovered that
there was any possibility of the volun
teers going out of existence as soon as
tho permanent men are apponted. Ire
might withhold the latter's appoint
ment until such time as the bunk and
call places wen all ready to too filled,
too. This would solve the problem, lie
scouted the idea set .forth by a morn
ing paper yesterday that the volunteers
were boycotting the department, and
might not respond to an alarm in ease
oi u oig me.
The number of applicants for the 11
places provided for In the re-organization
ordinance who have successfully
passed the mental examinations con
ducted by the board of examiners can
not bo learned, but It Is understood to
be over eighty. Not a -very large pro
portion "flunked," which is creditable
to the intelligence of Scrnnton's vol
unteer firemen,
Dr. W. G. Fulton, the police surgeon,
who has been directed by Director
Hitchcock to conduct the physical ex
aminations, began that work Friday.
This will consume seieral days and it
v. Ill probably be the end or this week
before tho actual number of men who
have successfully passed both exam
inations can be accurately announced.
The doctor ha been instructed to
guide himself In conducting the physi
cal examination by the regulations
provided for admission to the United
States regular army. The minimum
height under this regulation Is r. foot
and -I'j inches and tho minimum weight
Is 120 pounds,
It is understood that Director Hitch
cock has unofficially announced tlrat
there will be few if any of the pres
ent force of thirty permanent men
dropped from the rolls when tho re
appointments are made. If any are
dropped, he is said to have made up
his mind it will be for refusal In the
past to bu amenable to orders or for
general unfitness and for no other rea
son. M H . .
Tire several times postponed Inspec
tion of the various hose houses
throughout the city Is to be made
this week by Director Hitchcock and
Superintendent Zlzehuan. The needs
and requisites of each company in the
way of repairs to apparatus, new hose,
etc, will bo catefully listed for refer
ence nnd use as noon as tire appro
priation ordinance Is passed.
There nre some who are contending
that tlm water mains on Lackawanna
avuruo nnd some of tin; other streets
In the central city are entirely too
small to properly supply the new flist
doss steamer which It Is proposed to
buy. with water. A well known local

Mutt lire new steamer will be of no

RECORDER HAS POWER.
City Solicitor Watson Believes That
the City's Chief Executive Has
the Right of Veto.
City Solicitor George M. Watson has
been studying up the law for tho past
week, for the purpose of discovering
Just what tire city recorder's power In
the way of vetoing measures passed by
councils is, arrd while ho has not vet
expressed himself officially on the mat
ter, it is known that he feels convinced
that tlio recorder has such a power,
and also that no measure passed by
councils nan become a law until it re
ceives the recorder's signature.
It is expected that he will tile a writ
ten opinion with Recorder Molr this
week giving his interpretation of the
law.
There Is no express provision In the
ripper bill giving the recorder power to
veto measures passed by councils, with
the single exception of separate items
in tlm appropriation ordinance. Over
such items his power of veto is abso
lute, for wliile the bill provides that
such Items may be passed over his
veto "in tire manner prescribed for the
passage of bills over the city recorder's
veto," ft will be found by a careful ex
amination of the bill that there is no
such manner prescribed.
Kx-City Solicitor Vosburg holds that
tho ripper bill does not contain any
provision which can be reasonably con
strued Into even an implication of tho
power of the recorder to veto any tiling
except the appropriation ordinance. In
view of this; City Solicitor Watson's
opinion will ibo watched with interest.
P.ecorder Moir, in a conversation had
with a Tribune man, said that ho had
made no request upon the city solicitor
Tor an opinion on the question, and
that tire latter had looked into it en
tirely or his own volition. The recorder
said that lie did not believe in the
principle of giving tire chief executive
of a city the right to veto measure
passed by councils, but stated that if
ho was satisfied that under the law
this right became a duty, he would ex
ercise It.
"My belief," said he, "is that lire ex
ecutive and legislative departments of
the city government should be entirely
sopatate and distinct, and that the ex
ecutive should have no power to veto
any measure jjassed by councils and
approved by the presidents of both
branches. If I had any say In tire
sfhnping of the law, I would so arrange
It us to give the executive no power to
either sign or disapprove of any meas
ure passed by councils. I have always,
ns tar back as I carr remember, dis
approved of tire veto system, and T
doubt if I can ever be convinced that
it Is n good tiring." ,
FUNERAL OF MRS. TAYLOR.
Solemn High Mass of Requiem at
St. Peter's Cathedral.
The funeral services of Mrs. Cath
arine Taylor, mother of Mrs, Benja
min H. Pratt, were held ut at St. Pe
ter's cathedral ot 0.15 on Saturduy
morning, with a solemn high mass of
lequlein. Tire notices having stated
tlrat the funeral services and inter

son arrd daughter-in-law, Klljulr Tay
lor, of Brooklyn, X, V and their
daughter, with some few of Mrs, Tay
lor s nearest rrmnds,
But tho deep affection In which she
was held by imny more had brought
a largo number of theso fo the cathe
dral before tho funeral procession ar
rived. They had taken their places In
the rear portion of the church, apart
fionr the llttlo group ot nearer friends.
Their expressions of sorrow as they
met In tlm vestlbulo before passing
in bore witness to tire devout lite and
almost saintly character ot tire de
parted, Her life, unto which many
trials arrd sorrows had come, as must
come to any vho have lived to great

SERMON OP
DR. SIMPSON
PREACHED IN THE ASBURY M.
E. CHURCH.
Every Soul Saved Knows It Was Ac
complished hy the Mercy of God.
It Is Amazing That Men Who
Know That Salvation Lies Only
Through Chi 1st Yet Go on Iguor-
i ing the Very Remedy Which God
Is Perpetually Holding Out to
Them for Their Salvation.
Hew Dr. W. G. Simpson, paBtor ot
the Asbury Methodist Episcopal
church, preached an eloquent sermon
Inst night from lire words found In
tho fifth verse ot tiro third chapter of
Paul's epistle to Titus, "Not by
works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to his mercy, ho
saved us, by the washing of regenera
tion and renewing the Holy Ghost." Ho
said, Itr part:
"This text is a clear statement of
human experience. Kvory saved soul
knows Us meaning experimentally.
There are two courses of life implied
In tho text. The one is tire course
taken by those who Ignore God, who
do not accept Jesus Christ nnd who
are voluntarily dancing to hell's mu
sic down to hell's fire. They may
be' good people, they may be honest
and upright, but they arp without God,
witnout Christ na without hope,"
"Tho other course is tire one pursued
by those who are day by day and hour
by hour rising up Into the light of the
celestial realm and who are being ele
vated by a power divine Into a full
realization ot Father, Son and Holy
Ghost.
A GLANCE BACKWARD.
"1 have been Jrere for twenty-five
years living In the heavenjy light of
the gospel, and sometimes I look back
ward and scan memory's pages. I
think of those in years gone by who
laughed at my piety and who called
me a psalm singing Methodist. They
were happy arrd their cheeks were free
from the furrows ot care, but where
are they now.
"They are gone. They have left no
fame, no memory, no Inspiration. They
did nothing that was worth doing and
are forgotten. They laughed and
scoffed and that was all. Then there
are the others I think of, those who
were the blessed of the Lord. These I
shall meet bye and bye and T am hap
py at tho thought. Let us die the
death of the righteous. I say. arrd let
the others laugh nnd scoff if they will.
"The decision lies with ourselves.
Shall we be students of God, children
ot God, co-laborers with God"? Shall
wo be lights set on high to guide the
wanderer to the paths pf peace and
tighteousness, or shall we be lights to
lead astray and to send men down the
ways that lead to death?
"It is amazing to know that there
are men wlro know that salvation lies
only through Christ, and yet who go
on ignoring the very remedy which
Cod Is holding out to them
"Wo cannot explain away the great
truth that all men experience a radical
change of life and heart when they
are really saved. No man can say in
telligently that ho is saved until ho
has experienced this change within
himself.
"Christianity with all Its scone and
range Is based upon this fundamental
fact. You may seek a substitute any
place you please, but there must be
a power of God to re-build the man
as he has never been re-built before.
SPIRITUAL REJUVENATION.
"There must bo a total spiritual le
juvonatlon of the man after this ex
perience has become his. He feels
the old things passing away and a
strange, mysterious new life of peace,
happiness and Joy tolls him that all
things nre irew. He awakens to a
new life. New principles govern and
guide him and dim truths which were
before as phantoms stand out clear
ond Ijright.
"There must be a complete rejuven
ation. Let no man be deluded into
Drinking otherwise. It must be a com
plete change. A burnishing and bright
ening up of tire outside surface will
not suffice. There must be a complete
r.ew structure, new foundation, new
walls and new roof."
