Because the ombrella is the most un popular article in ordinary use the Announcement that it is doomed to go will b* of tmiteraal importance and gratifica tion;

It is by means of small boxes containing compressed air that the umbrella is to be superseded. These boxes are made to fit inside any hat, having a .mail tube adapted to the centre of their summit, By tbe simple pressure ©f a button placed ab tbe side of the bat the com pressed air may be allowed to escape from the tube, and by a moat Ingenious ar yansEeroent Instead of flowing upward ib is It Is made to expand all round like those fountains which .form like a ball.

The rain falling on the compressed air Is, of course, compelled to rebound accord lug to the wellknown laws cf gravity and resistance, and- as it oops with the umbrella, falls ronnd the happy possessor of this most useful contrivance.

After the rain ia over another toaoh at tbe button deprives the compressed air of Its oabwatd expansion.
