T f It is n matter of common occurrence in Euglaml nowadays for an auctioneer to sell a castle or an abbey, but it is rare that an entire villugo conies under the hammer, as will l>e tho cose when the historic Aldcrmaston estate in Berkshire is disposed of at auction soon. This huge property comprises the mansion house, situated in tho centre of a fine park renowned for its ancient trees, together with tho entire village of Alder mast on. Tho Scientific American remarks: Invention is sometimes thought to have reaohed its limit, but of tho cn? ergy in a pound of coal when burned, somo ono lias calculated that only ono per cent, is used in moving a passenger and ouly one-half of one per cent, in incandescent electric lighting. Tho problem of the next century is going to bo the saving of this \yunted ninety nine or 99} per cent., just as the prob lem of the last century has been to secure the use of 0110 per cent, which moves trains and the I per cent, which makes an electric light. India is the country wiioso prosperity and business relations with the world aro most wrapped up in tho silvor question. Tho Baltimore Sun says: liau linnn flin nnltr nnwonni?

In addition to this a recent estimato places the value of uncoinod bullion, largely in tho shape of barbaric plate, vessels aivd ornaments of silver in tho hands ofi the richer natives, at another $?^0,000,000. According to statistics furnished by our * own Treasury Department last year's production of silver throughout tho world was 152,000,000 ounces. Of this amount India absorbed 45,000,000 ounces, which was coined and went into circulation." ' The trials of the rainmaker aro, indeed, numerous, remarks the Wash. ington Star. For a long tiino it .has been assert. that a rainmaker is a myth. Peop. ' may think they produce rein, and they may make other people think so; but, according to tho doubters, it is a case of imagination purely. Under conditions liko these the rainmaker might comfort himself with tho thought that genius very roIdom secures prompt appreciation ami go his way, feeling suro that posterity Woll hi ?PA hia win/linoftAn comes a grief of an entirely opposite character. A Kansas rainmaker bonsted that a cloudburst, which came quito nnpredictod, was tho result of his professional endeavors. Thereupon a Kansas farmer aroso with a claim for damages because tho cloudburst had destroyed his crops, and the wife of a man who was killed in a washout want i liberal damages. Tho dilemma is a painful one. Tho rainmaker must either repudiate his science and declare that his assertions wcro empty boasts, or else ho must assume the morAl and financial responsibility for this devastating storm. It is an interesting problom, too, for tho courts to ^mndle, and tho public will wait with interest for light which the judicial mind may throw on the question of to what oxtent it is possible for a rainmaker to be responsible for rain.
