Science, as we are seeing in America, is attempting to produce rain where there is too little of it. A beginning in the contrary direction has also been made in Tarbes, in the Hautes Pyrenees, a district liable to destructive hailstorms with violent lightning, which ruins the vines and other plants., As hail in summer is apparently a result of atmospheric electricity, the Director of the Observatory of Pio du Mido has erected high poles at Tardes, having metal caps, and connected by wires. His idea is to steal away the electricity of the clouds, and thus prevent the formation of hail.

Holloway’s Pills and Ointment.— Rheumatism and Gout. —These purifying and soothing remedies deserve the earnest attention of all persons liable to gout, sciatica, or other painful affections of the muscles, nerves, or joints. The Ointment should be applied after the affected parts have been patiently fomented with warm water, when the Ointment should he diligently rubbed tqion the adjacent skin, unless the friction causes pain. Holloway’s Pills should be simultaneously taken to diminish pain, reduce inflammation, and purify the blood. This treatment abates the violence, and lessens the frequency of gout, rheumatism, and all spasmodic diseases which spring from hereditary predisposition, or from any accidental weakness of constitution. The Ointment checks the local malady while the Pills restore vital power.
