The Red Light In the Sky.
Professor Paul, Of the Naval observatory
Offers some Explanation.


The remarkably brilliant display in the
Western heavens few evenings ago, when
the sky was brightly illuminated with red
glow, was quite general throughout the
country and attracted great deal Of atten.
ton. There has appeared, however, no
very definite explanation Of this phenome.
non, and when reporter met Professor
Paul, Of the Naval Observatory, it occurred
to him that the Professor might be able to
throw some light on the subject
II have not investigated the matter" re-
marked the Professor, in reply to a ques-
ton, "but noticed the peculiar red light in
the sky. have seen no scientific expia,'a.
ton Of the cause Of the phenomenon. Per.
haps you noticed that after the volcanic
eruption in Java the sun in that country,
as well as throughout the Malay peninsula,
had yellowish appearance. This was
probably due to the gaseous matter which
was thrown out Of the volcano, and the
light u the sun shining through it assumed
this peculiar color. But it is hardly posi-.
bic that this could have effected the atmos.
phere here.
II saw in the morning papers," contin.
ued the Professor, "that Professor Brooks,
at Phelps, n. Y, had observed collection,
If meteors, and he stated that the earth
was passing through mass Of them, and
that this was the cause Of the peculiar light.
It hardly seems to me that this Is possible

ing effect on the sun, and their presence
would have been noted BY other observers.
1t seems probable to ME that, owing to
some peculiar currents Of wind, the clouds
had been formed unusually high in the sky,
and, the light OF the sun passing through
these clouds, the rays Of the blue end III
the spectrum were absorbed, and the red
rays were reflected toward us. This is the
real reason that the sun, and sometimes
the moon, looks red as these bodies are
sinking in the west. Their rays have a
greater amount Of atmosphere then to pass
through, and that makes the red part OF the
spectrum prominent. If there was any
other cause for 1t, such as vapors in the
atmosphere, or the presence Of meleoric
bodies, this phenomenon would have been
longer continued. don't know that this
is the correct explanation, but it seems
probable

the meeting was merry one. After par.

proposed. Now, Cookbook liked the sport,
but was not an expert. Buchanan was

he always won. In short time Couldock

Silver the Regulator.

So much has been said in the goldite
newspapers, the tools of the monopo.
lists who used to initiate and contract
the stock market at pleasure by corner
ing gold, in favor of gold currency and
against the use of silver as legal tender,
that we have taken pains to gather sta
tistics to show that gold as single
standard is incompetent to perform the
Office Of currency for the people of the
United States. With the increase Of
wealth in this country there is an in
creasing demand for gold plate, gold
dishes, rings and other ornaments of the
person, cane heads, watches, chains,
gold leaf, bronzing, dentists use, etc.,
that uses up so large part Of the pro-
duct Of our mines that there is not
enough left for the purpose Of coin.
There is not enough gold mined in the
United States for use as currency, and
the mint has continually to obtain gold
from abroad to keep M the circu-
lation Of gold coin. If this were not
done the entire yield of gold would soon
be used up in manufactures. and we
would have no specie but silver, which
is produced in excess Of coinage, and
furnishes supply Of bullion for export,
and balance wheel Of trade.
This fact may not be generally known,
but yet it is the official record. Here
are the figures for sig years of gold
product and gold coinage:

San Bernardino Opera House.

Mr.. Sidney Lacy returned last evening
from San Bsrnardino, where he had
been as the agent of Messrs. Dotter 4
Bradley, the leading furniture house Of
Southern California, to superintend
hanging the drapery and laying the car
pets in the new Opera House Of Brink
meyer and Waters. Mr.. Lacy speaks
in high tsrns Of the elegance aud all
the appointments of the new temple Of
music, which is 57xSs feet in the clear,
and 'thirty-fve feet to ceiling, furnished
with four hundred opera chairs, besides
elegant private boxes, hung with heavy
maroon, gold and scarlet colored silk
drapery. The auditorium has par
quette and dress circle, with gallery
capable of seating five hundred persons.
The room isfurnished in the Elizabethan
style; colors, ebony, gold and scarlet.
The wall decorations are rich, but soft
and agreeable. The stage space is
2sx27, and twsnty-six feet high. An
artesian well supplies 5000 gallon tank
with water, which is carried to either
side OF the stage. so that fire can be
suppressed without going out Of the
building. Mr.. Lacy informs us that the
performance of the Australian Minstrels.
at the opening, was great success.
About nine hundred persons were pres
ent. and the whole performance was
well received by brilliant audience.
San Bernardino is proud of her temple
of music, and ought to be.

The finest passenger coaches ever seen
in this city, and which are not surpassed
in the East, are being hauled daily over
the Southern Pacific route. They are
marked Sunset Route on the outside,
but most of them are the property Of
the Galveston, Houston and San Anto-
MO railway. These palatial carriages
are seventy feet in length, or from four
to ten feet longer than ordinary first
class cars. The interior flush is entirely

rate and ornamental than the Pullman

There is now staying in this city a
lady whose presence is well worth re.
mark. She is Professor Mary Krom,
Principal Of the Denver School of Mines,
and is believed to be the only practical
female assayer in the United States.
She is on this Coast partly for recreation
and partly for meteorological observation.
Professor Krom will spend six weeks
longer in California. She has visited the
northern portion of the State, and in
about fortnight will make southern
trip, including in her route the Calico

Total excess Of coinage over product s2lo. z7s oot
This clearly shows that we are short
over $50. 900, 900 year in gold to sup.
ply the wants of the mint for coinage.
Then we must buy gold abroad and pay
for it in silver, which we produce in
abundance; and If we must ship silver,
which we do every month, we ought to
get good price for it.
But the question naturally arises. why
not let the gold stay abroad and use
silver. for currency, rather than sell sill
yer below the old standard price in or
der to get gold. II silver is cumbrous,
We can use certificates of deposit in
stead of coin, and they will answer the
same purpose as double eagles in gold.
Since gold fails to fill the bill, and we
have to buy it to keep up the volume of
currency by selling silver at fifteen cents
below par, why not let it alone and save
our fifteen per cent. on silver, which
amounts to 81, 500, 900 a year. We are
paying too dear for our whistle. Seven
and half millions year is too much to
pay for an idea in finance. The perma-
nent product of this coast is silver, and
oil efforts 30 degrade its purchasing
power should be resisted by the people.
Silver is in active demand for business,
and is scarce, while gold that we are i'm
porting is plenty, simply because we do
not need gold and we do need silver.
This being the case, silver is. the metal
that demands the care and protection of
the government, as well as copper, coal,
iron and gold. Removing The tax on
mining claims. and free coinage of silver,
will produce state of prosperity in
Los Angeles and all over the great
West such os was never known before.

Ontario improvements

Work is being pushed in every direc-
ton by Chaffey Brothers and by the new
settlers.
The new hotel is Just receiving its
finishing touches from the plasterers
when the carpenters and painters will
have some more work to do.
Eight thousand trees are being planted
along Euclid Avenue. Up through the
centre Of the double drive are being
planted two rows Of fan palms; these
rows are forty feet apart. On either side
OF the avenue, leaving fifteen feet for
sidewalk, is q row of Australian ferns,
alternated with Eucalyptus. The latter
will grow up quickly and can beremoved
in few years when the ferns are up in
good shape--the latter being a much
more beautiful and desirable tree. AL.
ready trees are planted for d stance Of
about two miles with nearly five miles
more to plant to reach the upper end of
the avenue as already graded, which is
six and seven-eighths miles long.

Troop of Fairies.

AtOop VI EhiTios.
The little actresses were dressed in o
style singularly appropriate to their sey.
eral parts, the costumes Of those repre-
senting birds resembling in color the
plumage Of the different feathered song
sters, while the fa RES. Of whom several
were certainly no bigger than fairies
themselves, had gauzy wings and bore
wands. The children gave evidence of
great natural powers in defamation,
while their singing showed the perfec-
ton of the rehearsing they have gone
through under skillful teaching. The
duets and solos of the Lark and the
Nightingale were especially pleasing.
The dance Of the fairies around their
queen, notably the waltz of two remark
ably small sprites, was as pretty a
pageant IS anything of the kind we ever
witnessed. Songs and instrumental
music, all equally pleasing, followed the
close Of the play.
The exercises were terminated by some
very appropriate remarks to the chill.
dren, as well as to their parents, by the
Vicar-General and Father verdaguer,
the latter speaking in Spanish as well
as in English. The advantages of
school conducted by Christian ladies, SO
well instructed themselves and 50 capa-
BILE of teaching Others. were set forth
very ably. Parents came away from the

while almost regretful that vacation days
have come, determined to resume their
studies in August in spirit of love to.
ward their teachers. and generous emu
lation amongst themselves.
