So many people complain of the heat in sum mer and the cold in winter that they surely must be interested in the following communication, which comes from San Francisco:- - To The Good People of Chinna.

My dear Chinese Friends-Our missionaries tell and write so many good things about you people, it makes me want to communicate

We are glad to tell you that in the good providence of God we have about completed in our minds and on paper one of the most compre-all hensive bigest machines ever in- vented.

This machine is to moderate climates and make them nearly even never too hot nor too cold. It is a big machine, and is to surround cities extend high into the air and is to be heated by gas or electricity. It will make cold weather warm in doors and out doors, abate foge. and melt snow in cities. You will not have to wear so many clothes, nor have private heat, and can do all kinds of work in all seasons and will keep comfortable.
We hope that all the educational agancies will join us in the spread of the news about this machine, It is for humanity and not for sale.
May God Bleas Chinns.
