stitute for the pen. Although only in

rescued from the suaken Maine. Two
of the most costly iypewriters belong
TO the queen and car OF Russia. They

BURGLARS III SILK HATS.

Innumerable complaints have reached
the Paris police CT late touching the ex-
pioits of a band of burglars, which had
begun operations. in the Cbsronne dis

Paris is too frequently infested is chief

about their nefarious business at

CORY. Their clothes are CT irreprOach-
able cut; they would blush 10 go IN
gloved. and their patent leather boots
are in themselves a sort of guarantee
of responsibility. Their GROWING
glory, however, is their silk hats,
which are of the latest fashionable
shape and shine with a luster it would
be hard TO surpass. Thus accoutred
they have no difficulty whatever in
obtaining entrance TO the houses they
propose to ransack. In broad day
light they politely inquire of the con-
cierge whether one of his tenants is at
home and the dooFkeeper, impressed
by their magnificent appearance, throws
no difficulty in the way of their ex-
ploring al leisure the house intrusted
TO his care. Well equipped with false
keys and ingeniously contrived jim
mics, they make light of locks and
bolts. and as they disdain all booty eS-
cept money and bonds, their depart
ure excites no suspicion. Last week
alone over 40 burglaries are believed
I to have been committed by this gang
In several intances they left a note

UTILIZING FOGS.
The Problem to Which CALIFORNIA;
Agrfcuifurfsfs Are Invited so
Address Themselves

Herbert Earlscliffe, Of Santa Bar
bara, Cal, has communicated TO the
weather bureau, through the chamber
of commerce of Los Angeles. sugges-
tion relative to fog that should call
forth all the inventive genius Of Amer
lea Mr.. Earlscliffe says:
I'm California there are vast areas
of valuable land where the water sup
ply is insufficient. Nature has endeav-
ored to correct this by sending in heavy
fogs laden with moisture, and it only
remains for the ingenuity of man to
utilize this. These fogs generally come
in from the ocean at night during the
dry summer months, when most need
ed, but are dissipated early in the morn
[ ing by the sun. Here is ample moisture
brought to our very doors if we could
I but discover some simple and practical
method of condensing or precipitating
/ it On large scale"
/ 1t certainly is tsntalizing to think Of
this immense quantity of moisture
present and visible but unavailable.
Neither science nor art at present can
suggest any feasible method Of causing
this fog to descend in refreshing drops
of rain. On the other hand, the green
vegetation at the symmits Of many
mountains has often been observed to
be due essentially 10 cloud or fog and
not to rain; ii may, therefore. be hoped
that along the coast Of California some
device will soon be introduced that shall
catch the fog particles as they fOst
along and force them to trickIe down in
gentle streams of water So as To moiEten
the earth. We do not propose 10 cen
dense or precipitate the atmospheric
moisture in the ordinary sense OF tbcse
words, but simply TO catch it as the
leaves of the trees 90. We recall the so
called drip from every rock and twig
on the summit of Table mountain al
Cape Town, and especially on the sum
init of Green mountain, in the island OF
Ascension, and the dampBess of the
rocks on Pixies Peak, and we cannot
doubt but that in many spots through
out the globe vegetation is kept alive
by the small amount of moisture thai
is caught on the leaves, and, dripping
thence to the ground. is soaked up By
