umph' of inventive genius. A. L. Ban.
croft OF San Francisco. has invented a
method OF naming and numbering the
roads. lanes and by-ways of sparsely
populated country districts SO that a
traveller can find his way to any isolated
and remote dwelling as readily as he
could find his way to residence in city.
To people living in the country. and still
more to those who want to find the resi-
dences Of people living in remote SEC
ticns, Mr. Bancroft's system will be OF
much practical value. The world is
getting great many valuable things
from California.
