tions followed. He went into several VEN
lures with Richard S. Newcombe and lost
at least $50, 900. Then he leased from
James Dickson the Broad-street Theater
in Philadelphia for thirty weeks, at a
rental of $1,000 a week. He lost Just about
the amount of his rent each week, until
he asked George w. Lederer to relieve him
of the burden, and Mr.. Lederer disposed
of the lease to Nixon & Zimmerman for
$40, 600 in cash.
He made 5000, 900 in two years through
his own work and his partnership with
Mr.. Lederer in 1.-The Transatlantiques,"
vaudeville company, and ~. & IT, with
Gus Williams and John d. Kelly as stars.
This honey quickly slipped through his
fingers. He remodeled the theater now
known as the Savoy, at a cost of $50, 900,
and sank $25 600 in conducting it for sea-
son. He arranged to build theater in
Brooklyn, through which he expected to
reap great profits, but after he had spent
$50. 600 the place was condemned by the
Building Department and he could not
carry the scheme to successful issue.
He was passionately fond of the excite
ment of dabbling In STOCKS, and a large
proportion of his earnings eventually went
to brokers. He liked 10 go to Wall street
and to entertain the exchange by his
tricks, but it was costly fun.

ARTIFICIAL RAIN.

Unique and Interesting Experiment in
Which Tempest Is Made in a Bottle.
NJ. Errera, professor at the University of
Brussels, has succeeded, and by very
simple process, in making artificial rain.
All that he uses is bottle of Bohemian
glass which is covered with an ordinary
porcelain saucer and is half-filled with al
cohol of 90 degrees strength. He heats
this bottle in bath OF water until the al
cohol, the sides of the bottle and the sau-
Ger are of an Almost equal temperature.
Then be takes it out OF the bath, places it
carefully on a table and observes it
closely.
He is rewarded by an interesting sight.
The vapor of the alcohol soon nils the
bottle, but the saucer cools rapidly and
the vapor, being warmer, becomes con-
densed as soon as it comes in contact with
it. The upper air in the bottle also
quickly becomes of a lower temperature
and real clouds soon appear. These speed
lily become dissolved into multitude of
tiny raindrops, which fall thickiy, just as
an ordinary rain shower.
The bath of water performs the function
of the sun, the alcohol represents the
ocean; the clear space beneath the saucer
may be compared 10 the pure sky, which
dominates the somber mass OF clouds and
the upper air in the bottle, chilled by con-
tact with the.saucer. plays the role of the
cold atmospheric curr nts which bring
about the condensation of vapor into
clouds.
We see, then, that the phenomenon is
faithfully reproduced in all its details A
still more striking result can be obtained
by using cold saucer in place of the
warm one. In that case the difference OF
temperature will be increased and we can
witness a regular old-fashioned storm or
hurricane. This is, indeed, a tempest in
bottle.-New York Herald.

Pneumatic Mail Tnhas.

The pneumatic tube has made another
advance. The Postoffice Department has
con tracted for mail tubes between the
cen trail office and the Reading and Penn
svlvania depots, in this city, and also
between the New York and Brooklyn
postoffices. 1t is well understood that the
ultimate plan is to connect all the mail
stations with the central Office in this
way, and as the tubes are adapted to
carrying merchandise as we'll as mail, we
may expect TO see many of the streets of
this and other cities uHderlaid with them

Development of the Department. Store

Department stores have advanced for
tunately in both the quality of the goods
sold ana the amount of the sales. The
business of several amounts annually to
from $500, ,0G0 to $4,000, 600, and this,
roughly speaking, is as much money as
many a prosperous railway 1000 miles
long handles in twelvemonth; one great
store in the West carries a rent account of
almost, if not quite, 100000 year; q
number of houses send to the homes of
their customers more than 10000 packages
in single day, while perhaps as many
more are CARED away in the hands of the
shoppers. In the busiest days quite
100, 900 persons have visited each of the
very largest stores of New York, Phila-
delphia, Chicago and Brooklyn. One firm
spends more than 100000 a year for ad-
vertising, and single departments in sew
eral stores sell more than $1,000, 900 worth
of goods annually.-From THE Conduct
