NOVEL METHOD OF PRECIPITATING RAINFALLS.
A patent has recently been issued to Daniel Euggles, of Fredericksburg, Va, for a method of precipitating rain storms, which, judging from a well known precedent, is not entirely chimerical. It has frequently been noticed that heavy cannonading is followed by a storm of rain. Profiting by this suggestion, Mr Haggles has invented a method of producing concussions in the upper regions of the atmosphere which he belie.es will induce vain. The invention consists in brief of a balloon carrying torpedoes and cartridges charged with such explosives as nitroglycerine, dynamite, gun cotton, gunpowder, or fulminates, and connecting the ba’loou with an electrical apparatus for exploding the cartridges.
