INDIAN RAIN-MAKERS.
Crafty Red Mem Who Adapt Their
Efforts to tie Weather.
' All the Indian, tribes had rain-makers,
and some are yet left. This is one
of their methods of operation, explains
the New York Tribune. A large body
of Crow - Indians had gathered, all
decked out in their best finery. Two
elderly men retired a short distance
and seemed to be mumbling' to each
other something like prayers or invoca
tions; after some time a fire was made
ou the back of the stream, when the
two rain-makers gave an order and a
young man plunged into the -river,
which was there very deep. When he
came up, he had a blue catfish in his
hand, which one of the old men took
and threw into the fire, the tribe look
ing on in perfect silence. Then there
was more mumbling, accompanied by
various contortions and gesticulations,
when the gathering-dispersed. It rained
that night. Perhaps, on the whole, the
Indian rain-maker is more generally
successful than the civilized one occa
sionally appearing on the frontier in
times of drought, the former having a
shrewder and more experienced fore
cast of weather probabilities and put
ting in his incantations at the right
time.
GIVES OFF LIGHT.
An Elver Active Glow Iaanea from a.
Recent Bit of rranisn.
In a. recent lecture before the Royal
society- Lord Kelvin vindicated the cor
rectness of Volta's early theories in
relation to contact electricity. He
showed that when a. zinc plate and a
copper plate are brought into contact
with one another and then separated
on was charged with positive electrici
ty and the other with negative. He
further demonstrated that this was not
due to oxidation by air or the moisture
of the atmosphere, as is stated in the
text-books of the day. . Lord Kelvin
exhibited other experiments illustrat
ing electrification produced by means
of dissimilar metals, and showed some
curious properties possessed by urani
um. If a plate of this metal was con
nected with an electrometer and
touched by a plate of aluminum posi
tive electrification was produced, grad
ually changing past zero to negative.
He also demonstrated that the -rays
given off by uranium in a dark room
are a constant property of the sub
stance and not a slow radiation of
previously absorbed light, as has been
claimed, but he could offer no solution
of the mysterious action of this metal.
