. J. B. DAVll'aON. la the death of Dr. J. K. ItavM son, Tolk county h lont ou of its most eubstantlM cttUcnn, nml so ciety worthy member of high moral tAaraetur ami excoptioiml mental vigor. Tho doctor cmi grtd to thUoountry in 1847 when only a youth in age mi worldly expcrltuu, but ho wiw wulowod with vigorous physical count i tution ami that necuiiitr virility of mind which always force IMC Into prominence. Tho schools hud done little in the way of giving polish to his mental equipment, but in the great university of the world he was an active student and close observer of the every day (fairs of men. Early in life he conceived the ide of making tho practice of medicine ft profession, but fuuud many obstacles besetting the path way of hi cherished ambition. Havlug located lu a new and sparsely settled country,' without influential Mends, and destitute of the mental discipline which comes from professional routine study, he found himself heavily handicapped at the very threshold of his career. Under similar circumstances most of men would have given up the idea of fittiiiff themselves for a learned profe&iou, but not so with this modest and unostentatious youth. The many obstacle that beset hi path only stimulated his enerav and lent a charm to the ultimate triumph which his dar intt intellect so clearly foresaw. He purchased ft few staudard medical work and begun the study of med i cine. This mau of iron will and Invincible energy would till his farm during the day, and, then, by the light of his log cabin tire study his books during the long winter evenings, uutil at last ettiipXHl with the learning that "the explor ing mind briugs from the caves of knowledge" he entered upon the practice of medicine ns a profession. The pioneer community hud confi dence iu the young physiciuu's medical ability, for they were fa miliar with his studious huhiU, and recognized his sterling moral and intellectual qualities. Ilis sub sequent professional career is a jmrt of the history of Tolk county, and he succeeded in building up for himself the noblest monument auy man can have the confidence and esteem of his fellow men. Ilis word was his bond, nud profession ally he was honest and faithful in the treatmeutof the afflicted under hi care. Dr. Davidson wits a self made man one of Nature's uoble men. He lived a worthy and use ful life, and the world is better for his having lived. No man can sue cessfully allege aught against his good name. He has left tho indel ible impress of his vigorous uud practical mind upon the cominuui ty of which he was so conspicuous a member. A noble soul h;w sunk into that sleep called death as peace fully as "he who wraps the drapery of his conch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.'' Senator C. B. Farwell, of llli noise, has succeeded in securing a congressional appropriation of '2000 for experimenting in the arti ficial production of rains. It is proposed to explode dynamite in the air, and it is supposed that the aerial cencussions occasioned by rapid and powerful explosions will effect the necessary atmospheric conditions to produce rain. The theory is decidedly problematical. The ablest scientific authorities are quit skeptical in regard to the probability of producing rain by artificial means. Prof. KuhhuII of the Royal Society of Jiew South Wales, states the question very clearly. He says: "It would eem nnreiuwnitble to linik (or the economical prod notion of rain under ordinary oircumatancea, and our only ohance would be to take advantage of time when the atmosphere ia iu the condition called nnatable equilibrium, or wbea cold ourrent overlie warm one. If uader theae condition) we could act the warm current moving upward, and one flowing Into the oold one, conaid erable quantity of ram might fall, but tins favorable condition aeldom eziata iu na ture.' The latest sensation in the ex ploration world is an aerial voyage to tho north pole in a balloon. Two adventurous young Furiniui),s, an aeronaat and an astronomer Messrs. Besaccon and Hermite are going to attempt the hazardous voyage. The explorers will sail from France in two steamships in the latter part of May, so as to ar rive in Spitsbergen in July, aud then soon as the favorable south winds set in they will depart on their aerial journey for the north pole. It is almost safe to predict they will fail to reach the point where the earth spins upon its axis, The two young scientist and there three assistant? will probably never return from their sail over the ice fields of the north polar sea.
