TBE USE OF BALLOONS FOR THE PBE-J>
VENTION OF HAIL, !
t
Bv the Berlin correspondent of the Scten \
tific American.
Because of the terrible damage
wrought by hail in some parts of Eu- ,
rope, scientists have directed their
attention to designing a means by ,
which the outbreak of hail could be .
prevented, and some success has been
obtained by the use of hail guns,
firing a shot of either gunpowder or
acetylene against the hail cloud and
thus dispersing it.
' Though a number of societies for
the installation of these guns have i i
been founded, both in Southern | I
France and Italy, their usefulness is 1

not universally accepted. Other ex- t
perimenters have tried rockets, and t
these have been adopted at some i:
places. b
Now, it would probably be more d
efficient to attack-the cloud as it were n
from itstvery seat, than to act upon i;
it from the ground. In fact, as far c
back as 1S4 7 Arago and Dupuis-Bel- ~
court suggested the use of a small captive
balloon made entirely of copper,
bo as to be impervious, and the surface
of which would be covered with
sharp points. The suggestion was
not tried.
The same idea nas now Deen mseu
up by two Belgian aeronauts, Captain
Marga and Mr. Adhemar de la Hault,
who, however, use a free balloon,
carrying some powerful explosive,
such as dynamite or guncotton, which '
Is ignited by some attachment as soon
as the balloon has penetrated into the
hail-carrying clouds. The balloon
used by the experimenters is pearshaped
and of three cubic metres capacity.
When filled with hydrogen
gas it has an -ascensional force of
more than four pounds. Five hundred
grammes of an explosive, with a
nitro-cellulose basis, designed by _
Captain Marga. are carried, together p
with a slow match. i
Experimental ascents have proved i
successful, and show that in the case t
of a gathering storm-cloud, it will be n
possible to so time a charge and tl

THE PULPIT.
AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON B\
DR. WILLIAM J. THOMPSON.
! Subject: The Ascension,
Brooklyn, N. Y.?In the Simpsor
M. E. Church Sunday morning, the
pastor, the Rev. Dr. William J
Thompson, preached on "The Ascension."
The text was from Lake
24:51: "And it came to pass, while
i He blessed them. He was parted from
| them and carried up to heaven.". Dr,
j Thompson said:
Concerning the crucifixion the
' Scripture gives month, day, hour,
participants?much minutiae. Concerning
the resurrection no mention
is made of the first heart-beat, only
the fact of the empty tomb and the
risen Saviour. Still meagre is the
account of the ascension.
The length of these narratives indicates
our limited knowledge. Death
so common wouia nave iuii^si mention.
The resurrection, contrary to
all experience, would admit simply
the fact supported by "infallible
signs." The ascension, contrary to
the one law we believe to prevail
throughout the universe?gravitation
?and the entrances Jnto the spirit
realm which baffles the imagination
of embodied spirits, would call for
the least mention.
Their importance, however, is inversely
as the length of the narrative.
Death in itself is failure, the
resurrection declares Jesus to be the
Son of God with power. The ascen'
sion to the right hand of God proclaims
Him the ever-reigning supreme
sovereign.
The eagle-winged tyrant, death,
spreads over the whole earth, palls
God's, last and best creation in his
insatiable conquest; wrenches from
the human soul the organ of all its
I intelligent and spiritual expressions
?the body, and dooms it with "dust
to dust." Jesus Christ, the mighty
Prince of Life, conquered this
conqueror!
Our loudest Easter hosannas are
I to His praise for this unrivaled
j achievement. This triumph, however,
mighty as it is, is but a part
I nf HIq Hfp I.ikA tho figures nf arit.h
I metic, depending for^ their richness
on what follows, so "the glories of
Easter depend on what follows in the
life of Christ.
Napoleon Bonaparte used Marengo,
Austerli'tz and other victories as
! stepping stones' to reach the dizzy
heights of military power; where he
swayed the sceptre from the Baltic
to Southern Italy, and allied contiguous
nations as vassals or dependent
states. He stood with his armies
upon the Alps and exclaimed: "Hannibal
is surpassed!" He led these
soldiers beneath the pyramids with
j "Forty centuries look down upon
i you." France saluted him with:
"Sire, your greatness is like that of
the universe." If Napoleon had died
before June 18, 1815, a glamor of
glory would have encircled his whole
career. But his life after this, with
the defeat Qf Waterloo and five and
one-half years in exile, leveled the
summit of his greatness.
We are not without concern for
our ex-presidents, lest some ill deed
militate against their record in the
high office. Some grains of comfort
are extracted from our three martyred
presidents, all of whom were
snatched from us in the zenith of
their fame, a fact which shed glory
over their whole lives. Jesus Christ
disarmed death of its mortal sting
and led the powers of darkness captive.
Yet some subsequent event
could detract from the glory of this
high triumph. So the setting of
Christ in our faith hinges upon what
follows His death and resurrection.
If Jesus had remained in Jerusalem,
as His disciples hoped for, ves
seis irom.me iour enas 01 tjnristenj
dom would have congested the ports
| nearest that city with deputations to
j visit Jesus as judge, divider, benefacj
tor, thereby weakening their faith
j and enervating them in working out
I their own salvation. The most stalwart
fibre in Christian manhood
comes from largest faith and zeal in
| self-culture, and this could not be
' favorably produced everywhere with
| Jesus localized. Men everywhere
; should have equal divine assistance
in having right hearts, speaking acceptable
words, and doing justly. To
I this end Jesus must be spiritually
! present in the world and consequent|
ly bodily withdraw. While the lus
tre of Jesus would have shone undiminished
had He remained on
earth, yet to reach His maximum
effulgence it was expedient that He
go away. Man's complete salvation
and the glory of Christ concurred in
this departure. Oar faith is vitally
involved in His destination.
His departure. The farewell address
of George Washington was important
in his estimation as well as
in that of his soldiers and posterity.
A farewell address would be valuable
and fitting for all our presidents
to close their administration. Our
farewells are the utterances of our
best selves. This is foreshadowed
by its typical formulas. "Fare-yewell."
"God be with you," abbreviMr*J

ticeu tu uuuu-vjy. ijuc laicwcn ui
I .Tesus has the same relative importance.
He takes leave of the world
that clamored for His blood and had
glee over its shedding. Mark you.
"He lifted up His hands and blessed
them." Thus His valedictory is in
the same exalted level as all that precedes
and our faith holds high in the
I risen and departed Christ.
He departs not in darkness but in
the light of-day; not in the valley
but from Olivet's top; not alone but
in the view of His disciples. He had
withdrawn many times before, this
time He ascends. "While He blessed
them, He was parted from them and
carried up into heaven." Shortly
after Stephen, the first martyr, looked
up and said: "Behold, I see the heavI
ens opened and the Son of Man at
| the right hand of God." Some time
after Paul had a vision of Jesus in
heaven; likewise did John. Satan,
the defiler, was hurled headlong from
heaven. Nothing that defileth entereth
therein. Elijah, a pattern of
piety, whose mantle holy men covetI
ed, the chariot of the Lord carried
j thither, and Enoch, who walked with
I God, was taken there. Jesus ascendJ
ed to heaven, the abode of the good
for all ages.
Furthermore, the whole company
j of prophets, sages, kings and mighty
I men of God, are in that great comi
pany whose number no man can numj
ber, yet Christ sits at the right hand
I with a name above every name and
! all powers and principalities at His
I feet. This exaltation ? His through
! all time?enriches all His past, makes
! th? land on which He lived to us
I holy, His precepts priceless and gives
thp lartrpsf cnticfo^f inn .*nrl fullest
' fruition to our faith.
The ascension of Christ pays honor
to the hody. The third article of our
religion is "Christ did truly rise
again from the dead and took again
His body, with all things appertain1
I ing to the perfection of man's na.
*
ture, wherewith He ascended Into
heaven and there sitteth until He
return to judge all men at the last
day." Pestilences are not from Him.
Disease, making the body, as Pope
declares his, an "apparatus of torture,"
Is no more from God than
the disease of the soul. Jesus cured
both and inflicted neither. The body
designed to be an instrument of
ngnteousness must ue suung. 10
be strong it must be nourished by
1 pure air, pure water, pure food. Even
! if these be secured by legislation,
the legislation should compass the
' hygiene of homes, offices and facto!
ries, the prohibition both of overtax
ing hours for women and the slaying
1 of childhood upon Mammon's altar.
The wounded are to be healed. More,
the road between Jerusalenf and Jeri!
cho so patrolled as to make wounds
from robbers impossible. Not only
' is disease to be cured, but the cause
J is to be removed.
Christ's ascension confirms our
! hopes of immortality. We have a
! twofold origin. First, the physical,
from Adam. Like myriads of his de'
scendants who have lived before us,
1 we see how our bodies will dissolve
' into the dust. Our spiritual commu'
nion with God the Father, our passing
from death to life in love for the
' brethren. This is our creation anew
1 in the second Adam, Christ Jesus.
! As that which bore the image of the
1 first Adam follows Him, so that in
us which bore the image of the sec;
ond Adam will follow Him.
If there were no continuation of
this life after death, Christ says: "I
would have told you so." No provisos
concerning its terribleness?"I
would have told you so." "I go to
prepare a place for you: tljat where
I am, there ye may be also." Christ's
ascension describes our pathway beyond
the grave, and where H^ is. all
the spirits of just men made perfect
will be also. The ascension of Christ
1 gives most emphatic confirmation of
1 our hope of the life beyond.
Joy from the ascension of Christ.

teacher, the prince among teachers,
the friend of friends. His hands
would no more be laid upon them in
1 benediction. No more would His
voice be heard. They were the suf1
ferers of the most irreparable loss.
Thus bereft, their task was to dis
ciple all nations composed of hostile
: peoples, eager to persecute them with
death torture. Oh, the agony of
| their despair! Yet they "returned
to Jerusalem with great joy." Abun1
dant must have been their ascension
joy to have absorbed their grief.
His words to them were "all power
is given to me." Wickedness would
be annihilated by His omnipotent
grace. The assurance of the fruition
of your supreme desire gives great
joy. The supreme desire of these
who were trained by Him who is full
1 of grace and truth would be the de'
struction of eMl and the enthrone1
ment of good. The assurance of this
consummation by Him of almighty
power filled them with joy.
Joy comes from power. Government
is said to have its origin in
man's desire to govern rather than
to be governed. The successful can

All the power of our ancestors
meets in us and must obey our bebest
which may be "thus far.". The
Dark Ages said this and arrested progress,
or if further, .which we of the
twentieth century say, the labors of
the race are transmitted to ,the enrichment
of posterity. These disciples
tense with the power of Him
by which they can do all things, were
joyful. But when it is from the
power that turns carnal kingdoms
into those of eternal love. Its intensity
and duration is fullest. This
was the source of the disciples' joy.
They "continually praised and blessed
God." / '
We may be the depository of the
spiritual power of twenty Christian
centuries. We may exercise it to
make the world purer, juster, holier.
The pathway of the ascended Christ
may be the trial of our own spirits
to ineffable glory. Under the dominion
of these convictions as it is
our privilege and duty to be, we experience
with the disciples the great
ascension joy and will like .them

THE WARFARE AGAINST DRINK
TEMPERANCE BATTLE GATHERS
STRENGTH EVERY DAY.
j The Public House and the Saloon?
Singular Aspect of the New Campaign
Against Liquor SellingCosts
More Than It Comes To.
, Temperance ana tne use or aicoj
hoi have passed through many phases
, and fortunes. In China more 'than
j a thousand years ago total abstinence
i became the universal rule. The He;
brews more than two thousand years
: ago studied the subject and estabi
lished habits which have made them
' a temperate, but not a total abstain|
ing, race. The Western nations have
| BW*ung back and forth, sometimes
I breaking out in ruinous excesses and
i then, for a time, making of temperI
ance a moral issue and setting up
j social and legal restraints which have
I served a temporary purpose. In
> 1842 the Washingtonian temperance
| revival, started by Mr. Hawkins, of
! Baltimore, swept over the country
J with effects similar to those of the
great religious revival of '57, which
affected the moral fortunes of two
continents. The moral and religious
arguments for temperance have always
abounded and have never yet
been'thoroughly effective. The reason
for this is evident enough. The
majority of the men, at least, and
probably we may safely say the women
in any community, do not order
their common lives accordingly to the
highest ideals of morality and religion.
They are prone to accept the
syllogism devised by Dr. Crothers;
namely, "I like to do right. I do
what I like. Therefore I do right."
Now total abstinence, the regulation
j of the liquor traffic, and prohibition
in any community must be measured
not by local statutes, by the standards
of the moral leaders of the
community, but by the average sentiments
and purposes of the people.
( What the people want to do and intend
to do they will find a way to do
in spite of scruples and laws. There
have been numerous crusades in the
name and interest of temperance.
Often for a winter whole communities
have been greatly exercised and
keyed up to a point of self-denial and
intense reprobation of tho use and
sale of alcohol. Something is left
after such periods of excitement, but
always the tendency is to sink back
again to the former level.
In England and America th^ crui
sade against the saloon, as we call
| it, and the public house as the En?|
lish call it, has now all at once taken
on a new form and is waged with
different arguments and motives.
It has now been discovered by
hard-headed men of affairs that the
i saloon, and the evil things that cluster
about it, costs more than, it comes
to. The waste of human life and
energy, the lessening of the producI
tive power of the people who patronj
lze these .places, and the expense
j thrown upon the community in taxaI
tion and the support of hospitals and
| poorhouses, which can distinctly be
traced to the influence of the public
" house or the saloon, now cause busi1
ness men to decide that on business
: principles, and for the industrial
i welfare of the community, these
sources of extravagance and waste
must be abolished.
The most singular aspect of the
new campaign against the saloon is
the entire absence of all prejudice
against liquors, either fermented or
distilled, for their own sake. The
new ally of the temperance movej
ment is the belief of the business men
' that the business of the world will
I be more economically conducted, and
! with better results, if the time, the
money, and the strength wasted in
the 6aloons can be put to use, and
the capital employed and wasted in
the traffic be invested in productive
enterprises.
( In England, where the breweries
! have been sources of vast wealth, as
I Dr. Johnson said, of "wealth beyond
I the dreams of avarice," and the rich
brewers have always been successful
candidates for the honors of knighthood,
and even higher rank, the sud|
den Revulsion of public feeling has
I been' something astonishing, and so
i alarming that after the subject was
brought up for discussion in Parliament
brewery stock shrank in value
at the rate of one hundred million
dollars a week.?Christian Register.

EUROPE GROWS COLDER.
Temperature of the Continent Constantly
Becoming Lower.
Some months ago there appeared
In these columns some tables worked
up by Camille Flammarion to show
changes of a meteorological character
which seem to have taken place
In Europe. Writing again, he states
that from actual figures obtained
within the past few years he has become
certain that the temperature of
Europe nas been failing. France nas
been suffering for a long time from
an excess of cold weather, the thermometrical
readings at Paris having
been one degree below the normal
height.
Oth6r readings show even less favorable
results. The fall is more noticeable
during the spring than during
other perlods.;of the year. Similar
phenomena ar,e recorded in Great
Britain, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria
and Germany. In the days of
Philip Auguste, in the thirteenth
century, the wines of Etampes and
Beauvals were the favorite beverages
at court. Henry IV., a pronounced
bon vlvant,, frequently expressed,
his fondness for the product
of the Suresnes grape. At the present
day there is not a vineyard of
importance north of Paris, and as for
the petit vin now made at Suresnes,
it has become the drink only of the
poorer classes.
In the middle of the sixteenth century
Macon was celebrated for its
muscated wines, whereas the muscatel
grape at this moment can scarcely
be made to thrive there. Ancient
chronicles mention the cultivation of
the vine in Northern Brittany, where
now even apples are not plentiful.
Again, it is to be remarked that trees
which once flourished in the north
of France are at present found in the
extreme south,-and a considerable
number have disappeared altogether.
Languedoc no longer grows the
lemon; there is not an orange left
in Rousillon. The Lombardy polar,
so familiar and picturesque in old

A SURGICAL
OPERATION
If there is any one thing that a
woman dreads more than another ifc
is a surgical operation.
We can state -without fear of a
contradiction that there are hun- ''
dreds, yes, thousands, of operations
performed, upon women in our hos- , jvvj
pitals which are entirely unneces- ;
sary and many have been avoided by ^
lydia etpinkham's
vrcrtari r compound
For proof of this statement read
the following letters. .'
Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman, ^ J
Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
" For eight years I suffered from the
most severe form of female troubles and
was told that an operation was my only
hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham
for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham'a -i;
Vegetable Compound, and it has saved
my life and made me a well woman."
Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Church
Road, Moorestown. N. J., writes: <
"I feel it is my doty to let people
know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- r
table Compound has done for me. I ' ' .
suffered from female troubles, and last
March my physician decided that an '?v;
operation was necessary, my uusvouu , -vwj
objected, and urged me to try Lydia
& Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, &&
and to-day I am well and strong."
