A TRANSPARENT Fence.


Every person who las been to Oak
land on the narrow gauge route since
the new depot was opened has, no
doubt, noticed the high fencing that sep
arates the wagon road on the trestle-
work from the railroad tracks. A few
weeks ago 1t was discovered that by
looking out OF the windows of the cars
and steadily at the fence full view Of
Oakland, the surrounding hills, the YES
sells on the creek, and even the sea wall,
which is comparatively low, could be
distinctly seen. Inquiry disclosed the
fact that the fence was only transparent
DUNG certain hours of the day-that is,
one can only see through 1t when the
fence 10 in the shadow of the cars, and
that when the sun was shining on IL 1t
was simply big board fence, shutting
out the view from that side. The fence
itself was inspected. IL is constructed
OF half-inch boards and is closely built,
the boards being only about an eighth of
an inch apart, and the only way that
the matter ,an be accounted for Is that
the cracks are all run into one.
II is the same principle that prevents
a person from seeing the spokes on the
big wheel of a byoicle that is being
driven fast and which enables one to see
clear through the wheel as If it were a
large hoop.-[San Francisco Chronicle.

Are We HAVING Hard Times =?

In answer to this query we dispatched
a gentleman (who was well acquainted
with all the business men Of the Alamo
city, with instructions to call upon the
most prominent firms Of the city to as
certain their opinions Of the present
business and the prospects for fall trade.
Having visited nearly all Of the repre-
sentative firms of this city our agent
tells us that there are many who COM
plain and others who shake their heads,
saying we cannot get cost for our goods.
Our agent says there are number OF
firms who are paying expenses, and but
very few whose profits show more than
expenses. Prominent among those
who are not at present losing
money we would mention j. M.
Emerson, of No. u Soledad street.
In answer to our question of, "Mr. Elmer
son what is your opinion regarding San
Antonio and the prospect OF a revival OF
trader" Mr.. Emerson replied: 81 am not
very well posted regarding any particu-
lar line of business, but my own and as
pawnbroker, am free to confess that l
never saw the time when dollar was
worth as much as 1t Is at present, and
still am not losing money, because as
the times grow harder / advance less
money on all articles brought to me TO
be left for loans, and although | fire.
quently sell an article for less than half
the market price j still make small
margin on the same" Our agent here
asked, "What articles do you advance
on?" Mr.. Il. replied: "Any thing such as
Is usually taken by pawnbrokers, such
as gold and silver watches, diamonds,
household goods, clothing, tools Of all
kinds, fire arms, sewing machines, musi-
cal goods, boots and shoes, clocks, and
thousand and other articles too numer-
Gus to mention. From what we know
we would recommend the people who
have no extra money to spare to call on
Mr.. Emerson and our word for 1t they
will be politely treated. II Mr.. Emerson
has got the article they want, they will
save at least 90 per cent.
