Lehigh Valley Coal completes electric light plant at Prospect colliery
The Lehigh Valley Coal Company completed an electric lighting system at its Prospect colliery north of Wilkes-Barre, lighting the breaker during winter mornings and evenings and powering shafts. The plant uses 16 candlepower lamps and 45 incandescent lights in the mine, while main chambers remain unlit by electricity. Nearby Tresckow collieries plan to resume operations with No. 4 slope starting soon and No. 1 reopened. A new drill bit by Frank Spry enables wider bore holes. A large solid coal block from St Nicholas colliery was mined for the Paris exposition, exceeding prior sizes.

Recipe for Rain and the Rainmaker’s Mysterious Craft
A Kansas City Journal account explains how a Rock Island rainmaker traveled by rail with a car to induce rain. The method uses sulphuric acid and water, stirred hourly, and adjusted by wind direction and territory. One successful station could affect a 30 to 50 mile diameter area, with multiple stations improving certainty.
