The Pluvifuges.
'om the London Chronicle.

FROM the London Chronicle.
About fifty years ago an invention was
announced which would be acclaimed
with Joy just now. A German, Helvetius
Otto, stated that he had discovered q
means OF preventing rain. He built a
platform on which were placed some huge
bellows worked by steam at a very high
pressure. These were supposed to blow
away any clouds gathered above. Otto
maintained that these 'pluvifuges" dis
tributed throughout town would enab
the authorities to insure dry weather for
so long as they thought fit The inventor
bore a high reputation in the scientific
world, and his pluvifuce attracted atten-
ton. But Ii never proved practicable,
and after a few months experiment Otto
gave up trying TO fight the weather.
But why not try to fight the weather
instead of endeavoring to foretell 1t with
most uncertain success? Why sit down
under it as a slave instead Of ordering
II as q master? It is absurd that air our
scientists in combination cannot stop q
shower-and all our doctors cannot cure
. cold.

active. October % he had been informed
by an old friend that he was licked.
This friend had told him OF the details
of an organization formed against him.
He mentioned the names of E. II. Harri-
man, James Stillman, III. c. Frick. g. w.
Perkins and Robert Bacon as members
of this organization. Out of the infor-

grown his speech attacking corporation

called the fact that in this connection
he had not used the name of Col. Roose-
welt.
At this point Mr.. Parker's examina-

Conditions In Brazil.

Count Candida NIendes de Almeida,

country, today commented upon the trade
relations between his country and the
other American republics. particularly

For the honor and prestige Of America

our brothers of the United States in

everything has to be imported, from the
