We had sent up a score of big balloons filled with oxy-hydrogen gas, which wan exploded at a high alt!- tude by means of a time fuse. The moon was shining in @ cloudless sky and about 1 A. M, all the people who had come to our camp from San Diego to watch the experiments went home, con- vinced that there would be no rain and that the thing was a dead failure. About 3.90 A. M, we sent up an explosive bal- loon, All of the others had drifted away. towards the northwest, but this one rose straight in the alr for a quarter of a mile and then started due south. It went in that direction for a few seconds and then doubled on its course and went north, Then {t turned to the southeast and then to the southwest. There was little or no wind stirring at the surface and the behavior of that balloon was one of the weirdest sights It hax ever been my fortune to behold, Finally, It exploded with a terrific re: port. Tks erratic course showed us that there was some big atmospheric turbance above and we quickly got an- other balloon feady. Before we could dit ap, however, clouds began to clear sky overhead. By the nt it up the clouds had be- come heavy and black and obscured the moon, ‘This balloon took as ziga a@ court us the other, but when it ¢ ploded it fortied the Water out of the louds and the rain poured down for rly an hour, Rain-making was a big success that night, but it had been so ridiculed In the newspapers throughout the country that the success did not count for much with the public, and I have even seen it denied that we ever had a rain after the experiments at 30, 1895, STRONG AGTS AS INSPECTOR, Makes a Toor of the East Side Tenement-Honse Districts Incog WIEWS PUSH-CART PROBLEM Emulates Roosevelt, Tramps Crowded Streets, Watches Policemen.
