in this country and Europe. He offered,
understand. Huxley $4,000 q year If he
would come from England to California
and take professorship, and he proposes
to get the very best men he can, regardless
OF expense. He Is buying great quantity
of articles for the new museum OF the uni
versity, and during the past week box of
photographs as big as shoe box was
shipped to him. This box contained pho
tographs of the mummies and antiquities
which he had purchased during the sum-
Eer, and there is no doubt but that his
museum will be one of the finest in the
country. He will get great quantity OF
articles from Greece through the explorer
Schlieman, and l understand that he
furnished large part of the money with
which Schlieman made his excavations on
the site of old Troy. His collection OF
Egyptian antiquities is already very fine,
and the library of the new college will be
one of the finest in the United States.
Senator Stanford looks upon this college
a. his monument. and he proposes TO
make It one of the most remarkable in
situations in the world.
THE OLDEST NAN IN WASHINGTON.
The oldest man In Washington is sun
posed to be George Bancroft, who is just as
old a. the century. and who, am told, is
failing rapidly. He has given up his liter
AIRY work, and spends much more Of his
time within doors than he has ever done
before. Three years ago he told me that
he could ride on horseback thirty miles at
time without firing. He has been doing
no riding at all this TALL, and he seems 70
have gwen up The long walks that he took
last winter. He Is not. however. the Oldest
man in Washington. There is rare old
character who haunts the leading Wash
ington hotels nigh, after night. who saws
he was born in I79s. ana who is now ss
years OF age. This mans name is Arnaud
or Arnot. and he has had life as Wild

The stock market to-day was again influenced
by the scarcity Of money, while the screws of the
bear manipulation were again put on to increase
the already sufficient decentralization of weak
holders of stock. The stringency has now con-
tinued SO long that Wall street is beginning to
fear it will in time PROSTATE the business of the
whole country. The rata again went up to u per
cent. premium and interest, but later in the day.
when the rumor circulated that the secretary of
the treasury was in town and in con ference with
leading bankers. and had been offered large
block of four per cents, the rate again went down
to nearly the legal rate and finally closed at that
figure. The market opened weak and lower, and
a sharp rally took place and losses were soon re-
covered. With the easing up of money the mar
ket became firm, and finally closed quiet and firm
at generally small fractions better than opening
prices, but at irregular changes from last night
final prices. Governments steady.
Petroleum closed steady; Pennsylvania oil
opened at SOac, closing at o1Mc. October opened
at SlAc, closing at $3.50.

SOMETHING NEW IN LIGHTS.

Glycertne Used rs q Moro Powerful Trans
mitter Than Glass.
A new lamp for use on shipboard has late
ly appeared, the most important novelty of
which is the lens, says the New York
Times. Instead of the ordinary lens OF
solid glass that is usually found in the
lamps now in use, plane bent" lens, con-
sisting of two concentric walls OF white
glass, is introduced. These are SO liked
that they form a chamber in which liquid
can be Theoretically sealed. Glycerine has
been used thus far, with coloring matter
introduced, for the side lights. It is
claimed that by the use of glycerine as a
medium, 80 per cent. more light passes than
is transmitted by glass.
Tests have proved that with lamp of
this description the red light is clearly
visible at distance of 5000 yards, or over
twice as far as lights are now required to
show by the regulations. The lamps are
made so that free circulation of air is
maintained, while water is excluded, the
lamp at the same time being kept perfectly
cool. The fame is circular and the burner
steady for twenty hours. The red light for
use on the port side is supplied with sill
vered reflector, and the starboard light has
peacock blue colored lens and yellow
metal reflector, which insures fine. pene-
trating green light.
The lenses are made of plate glass, placed
half an inch apart, to contain the colored
glycerine, and secured with q substantial
rubber joint into smooth, rigid copper
frame, which screws on to the face of the
lamp. The glycerine is poured in at high
temperature, near the, boiling point. and
Theoretically sealed. A pale yellow glycer-
inc masthead light is proposed, as being of
highest service as a signal lamp for marine
purposes.
Every seaman knows how difficult it is to
make out Enthusiastically at once white
masthead light in dark nights and stormy
weather, and this, too, in every part of the
world where seas are heavy and phosphor-
GUS laden. A good yellow penetrating
masthead light, it is thought, would prove
to be an invaluable signal both ashore and
afoat, as it would be distinguished on the
instant and could not be COMPOUNDED with
cabin or saloon lights.
