The modern system of advertising
makes the public familiar with the
names, and, in some cases, with the
countenances of inventors and manu-
facturers; and so strong is the power
of association that, on meeting one of
these much-advertised persons as a
private individual, it is difficult for
some persons to refrain from asking
him instantly about the article to which
his features seem to be only a sort of
trademark.
A lady who was making an evening
call met a man by the name of Brown,
who had invented an improved button
hole-making attachment for a we'll
known sewing-machine, and whose
name, preceded by hideous carica-
ture of his face, had been omnipresent
in the advertisements for some time
He had two charming daughters whom
the lady had seen, not long before,
and with whom she had been greatly
pleased.
During the entire call she had sue
ceeded in addressing Mr.. Brown by his
rightful name only by great mental
exertions, as another world wss con-
stantly trembling on her lips.
At last he rose TO 60, aud with sigh
Of relief she heard his -good-evening,"
to which she responded with her sweet

Storm Extractors.

The notion that rain can be COM
PEELED to fall wherever desired by arti-
fetal agitation of the clouds has
possessed mems minds-or, rather,
some men's-for a number of years. A
civil engineer in Illinois, named Pow
ers, has recently published book on
the subject in which he maintains the
soundness of the theory with much
plausible argument and extensive cita-
ton of practical illustration, covering
every country in which gunpowder is
used in warfare. The authors argu-
ment is curious, and cannot fail to i'm
press the careful reader with the belief
that the idea is at least within the
limit of possibility. At all events, the
Government has determined to give it
a trial. The papers inform us that
Professor Carl Myers, of Frankfort, N.
Y, has recently returned from Wash
ington, ID. c., where he was called to
consult with officials regarding the
carrying out of an extensive scheme
for Promoting rainfalls in arid regions,
or during seasons of prolonged drought,
by producing conclusions in upper at
mospheres, for which Congress has
made appropriations. Prof. Myers
will begin operations with one hundred
balloons of various sizes. The charge
of mixed gases will be exploded at
various heights through the medium of
galvanic batteries and electric cables
which will serve both to retain captive
balloons and conduct the electric spark
to explosive compounds. The necessary
work will be done on his balloon farm
at Frankfort, where the oxygen and
hydrogen will be generated. Expert
ments will be made at Frankfort and
near Washington; finally the sky
stormers will be taken to the arid re-
gions of Texas, Colorado and other
States. Theory and statistics favor
the successful issue of the experiments.

There is not q rural town within

were to appoint town committee with
,power to employ experts, or to obtain
expert advice, aud to carry out the
suggestions thus obtained in road inn
provement, the mere public advertis-
nent of that proceeding would attract
boarders from all directions. The ex-

In Honduras bananas are planted
eighteen by eighteen feet apart, which
is great waste of land. The Chinese,
however. plant them only six to eight
feet apart each way, and get from each
hill two large punches annually for
three or four years. They allow but
two stalks to the hill. At the end of
the fourth year, having taken off from
500 to 600 punches per acre for three
