PT TO MAKE IT SAJMrr Says the American Monthly: A gen- tleman who resides nea^Boydton, Va., has aipired to a new science--that of | controlling the clouds in order to cause it to rain at will. With the view of attaining this end he built a "rain tower,** which novel structure is said to be thirty feet in diameter at the • base, which size it attains to the height of forty feet. To this height it con­ tains four flues, each seven feet in di­ ameter. The number of flues Is then -v reduced to two, which run up twenty i |set higher, the top of the structure V reaching an altitude of sixty feet.-- The whole concern was erected at a jjU-'eoat of about 91,000. The method of causing rain to fall is as follows: The floes are filled with dry pine wood, which Is set on fire, and which is kept up until the desired effect Is produced on the elements. His theory is that a the great heat produced in the air . ' jkHma {ha "{.ftwsj" wil | raniA th« dmida to ooncontrate over, when plenty of rain will fell in that vicinity. The originator of this novel idea is said to be a firm believer in the practibiltty and utility of his Invention, notwith- S;/ standing that.after repeated trials, t during which he consumed hundreds of cords of wood, his tower failed to produce the desired effe#fc on the un- propitious heavens, he having been a great sufierer from drought during the entire soring and summer.
