BREAKING THE DROUGHT.
It is matter for, sincere congratulation that a kind Providence should have ' interposed to save the people 1 of Gamarufrom disaster and the Dominion from ridicule. A sum of £SO was; voted by Parliament to enable i some fantastic experiments ;' to be ! carried out with 'a view: to inducing ilie clouds to unburden themselves in' the white-stone city. The experiments were to be conducted on an elaborate scaler dynamite being the chief element. But, just as the preparations were being completed, Providence iuterposed and sent along a drenching rain. / Arid now .'-the': faithless have only the aatisfaiction of knowing that the vote was made by Parliament. They will probably argue that this had something to, do 1 with the rainfall. Most people, however, will agree with Mr Massey that the exploding of dynamite is: a form of "tohnngaism'' which should be deprecated. :•'','' '.' ;■■.■■"'
