The “season of tramps ” lasts the

no time of the year are they more

He also visited the St. Mary’s paro-

Officer Valiant who is doing special
duty went down the avenue and suc-

He gave his name as John McCann,
and he will be given a hearing in the
Town Court to—day.
McCarthy’s case was continued by

HAILSTORM DISSIPATED.
'lrupn Growers in Austria Bombard the
Clouds in Order to Dispel Them.
The American rain-making experi-
ments are sufiiciently fresh in the
memory to lend a peculiar interest to
a. report recently sumbitted to the
State Department by the consul at
Zurich regarding a curious practice
:hat has grown up among the grape
“growers of certain sections of Austria,
which is, in effect, the exact reverse
of the rain-making theory. It is none
)ther than the prevention of storms
'ay aerial explosions.
The owner of extensive vineyards
'ound that his profits were disappear-
.ng with the frequent destruction of
1is vines by hailston-es. These storms
are common, and severe in Austria,
especially on the southern slopes of
.he Bacher Mountains, and as the soil
.5 peculiarly adapted to the growth of,
he grape the ques‘tiohhrose whether
some means of preventing the falling
)f hail could not be devised. The'v-exi
olosion experiment was tried and to
.he date of the report it had met with
inbroken success. The method is
simple. On each side of the moist
)rominent summits surrounding .the
vineyards the owner erected a station
built of wood, for the shelter of a bat—
.ery of heavy mortars, ten: 'at each
L\ltation. The neighboring peasantry,
themselves. small vineyard owners,
have been trained to the duties of
manning the batteries, and at ,the'.
slightest sign of the approach of a
storm fire all the mortars simultane—
)usly. Each mortar is loaded with
about four and a half ounces of pow-
der; the report makes no mention of
I. projectile. The bombardment of~the
:louds is continued until the moisture
is Scattered and the storm prevented.
At the first trial of the system, after
a. few moments’ firing the cloud Wall
)pened up in the form of a funnel, the
mouth rising in consecutive rings,
gradually expanding until'the clouds
matte-ed and disappeared. This pro-
cess Was accompanied by no hail or
even rain. ‘
During the summer the firing was
mdertaken six times, and always with
ihe same result. . Thus it appears that
while man may not be able to force
nature to work at his bidding, he may
it least compel her to remain idle for
l. time—Washington Star. '
ROUGH ONATHE CHICKEN.
oome Novel Experiments with the Gath-
mann Shell at Indian Head.
Some. interesting experiments with
:he Gathmann high-explosive shell
1ave been made at the Indian Head
oroving grounds. One of the Gath-
nann‘ shells exploded in a big 12-inch
:nm at Indian Head recently and burst
:he valuable piece of ordnance. 'The
naval officers did not accept this ac-
:ident as proving the shell to be val-
ieless. They have given it some prac-
.ical tests without any trouble result-
ng.
In order to test the effect of the con-
:ussion' produced by the explosion of
:he shell, four live chickens were
olaccdjn the rear of the target, 17-
nch plate, with a backing two- feet
. :hick. The 300 pounds of gun cotton
:ontained in the shell were exploded
:gainst" the plate. One chicken, tied
mmediately behind the backing, was
none crazy by the explosion. An-
)ther confined in an air-tight coffer-
lam containing sufficient air to keep
1: alive, and placed fifteen feet from
the target, was killed. . The idea of
saving the cofferdam air-tight was to
prevent the chicken from experiencing
:he conCussion. The head of a chicken
Iied in the open air thirty-five feet »
from the plate was blown off and’all
ts feathers removed, showing the ter-
‘ible effect of the concussion, while
'he fourth fowl, placed inan‘ air-tight
:offerdam thirty-nine feet distant was
dazed, but "not unconscious. It died'
