Removal of Distractions From the Mis-

The profile maps prepared by the City En-
gineer for the widening of Mission street.
from Twenty-sixth to the county line, were
referred by the Street Committee yesterday
to the Superintendent Of Streets with in
structions to remove all Instructions to the
work.
Property-owners within the district bound
ed by Central avenue. California street,
First avenue and the Preside Reservation,
entered protest against granting continu-
anceS to the contra tors now engaged in
grading streets in that district. They desir e
the work completed as quickly as possible,
because the late severe rain-storm damaged
property there to the extent of $4,000
The committee agreed not to grant any
contlnuances unless they are shown to be
absolutely necessary.
Adolph Sutro aud DR.. Merritt appeared
before the committee and protested against
the closing OF portion of Corbett road in
Homer Addition, Block 20i.
Mr.. Sutro said it would seriously damage
such small owners as had purchased with
the understanding that the street would rot
be closed. He characterized Behrend JOosts
attempt to have 1t closed and the proifer of
a small strip in its stead as petty steal.
The committee decided to inspect the
premises before taking any action.
The controversy between Adolph Sutro
and the Spring Valley Water Company
over Seventh avenue appears to be as far
from settlement as ever. The committee
listened to the wrangling of the parties for

passed between the disputaniS.

THE MOON AND MARS.
An Instructive Lecture in Astronomy by
william M. Pirrson.

An Instructive Lecture in Astronomy by
William NJ. Pi~rson.
The lecture by William NJ. Pierson at the
First Presbyterian Church last night on
THE Moon and Mars" proved very in
teresting event, and was favored by we'll
filled house. Mr.. Plerson is member of
the Astronomical Society Of the Pacific, and
bis lecture was given under the auspices of
the ladies of the church.
The portion OF the lecture pertaining to
the moon went much more extensively into
the details OF astronomical observations,
and to that extent was more interesting and
instructive, than the exhaustive current
publications about thatneis hboriDg satellite.
Accompanying the lecture was series of
stereoptIcon views from photographs repre-
sentlng the moons surface, and almost as
perfect an idea Was gained of its appearance
and physical formation as ths average mind
has OF the earth's surface.
But by far the most intere 4ing part Of the
lecture was that pc; ton relating to the " on
derful discoveries concerning the planet
Mars. Mr.. Pierson explained, with the aid
OF his phologi apis, what tho advanced as
tron0mers have accepted as well-founded
theory-that Mars has an atmosphere 81 mi
lar to the earth, and the planets surface is
made up of land aud water.
At certain seasons, known by astronomers
to be the winter of Mars, the polar hemis-

with what they believe is snow. As the
seasons progress, and these mighty SHOWS
melt, the surface of the land, proven e. be
comparatively fiat, is more or less inundated
and cut up with huge rivers and channels.
These channels are plainly visible. and
can only be seen at this particular season,
which gives almost positive proof of the
theory. Mas has two small satellites that
century ago were unknown, although the
heavens were then viewed with powerful
glasses and by the greatest astronomer that
ever Owed, Sir William Herschel Now they
can easily be seen with six or seven inch
glasses.
Astronomers heorize that their recent ap-
pearance is due to the change of orbit Of two
asteroids that formerly revOlved around the
sun In irregular orbits. and at certain time
came in such close proximity as to be thus
influenced by the planet.

OUR FIREMEN.
Fire Department Methods Will
De Changed.

An upheaval is promised in the Fire De-
partment and that within many months, as
the Republican State Standardized, who
are in the majority, are indignant over its
existing corruption and threaten to reorgan-
ize it on reputable basis.
Last year the Supervisors appropriated
$1,000 for the Pension Fund Of the Fire De-
partment, but no demands were made upon
1t. as no officer or member Of the depart
meEt was placed on the retired list. This
year 5000 has been appropriated.
A law was passed by the Legislature, and
it is to be found in the municipal report for
this year, also an ordinance of the Super
vlSorS, providing for carrying its provisions
into effect. Ii provides that any member
OF the department having given fifteen
years active service aAd those disabled in
the service be allowed to retire on half pay.
Il was thought at the time of its passage
tnat many officers and members of the de-
partment would ask to be placed on the re-
tired list, but 1t appears none have done So.
An effort will be made to repeal this la W.
member OF the Legislature spoke freely
last evening. with considerable ind gnatlon.
about the matter to a CALL reporter.

Ing else. Why, Corporation-yard employees,
who never do fire duty, machinists. keepers,
hoStiefs, watchmen, superintendent and
assistant Superintendent of steamers and
clerk should never be entitled to go on the
retired list. To allow Sam Rainey to go on
the retired list. when he has done no fire
duty. and draw S75 for life from the City
Treasury, is absurd.
We want to retire Rainey and his fol
lowers without pay, and we will do it sure
within three months after the Legislature
meets, as over three-fourths of the San
Francisco delegation are Republicans, and
they will vote for the bill that will reorgan-
lze the Fire Department and create CON-
piete change in the officers and men,

appointment in the Governor.

Waterman objected to the Legislature
naming the State Library Trustees on the
grounds that Executive functions were
being interfered with, but the Supreme
Court, interpreting the law as it now stands,
decided against him.
