Our SUN . star.

Most young folks now know that the
difference between night and day on this
planet of ours arises simply from the
fact, that among the innumerable multi
tude of stars there is one infinitely nearer
to us than all the rest; being so much
nearer to us that when we see it we have
day. When by the earth's movement
on it's axis the sun has set in the west
we have night; at which time we depend
for light upon the more distant stars
unless, indeed, the moon is shining.
In the main, it is true that the enor-
nous difference in the intensity Of the
Light that we receive from the sun in the
one case, and from all the stars seen at
night in the other, depends upon the fact
that the sun is the star nearest to us, and
the other stars are sums infinitely re-
moved. y. Norman Lockyer in Youths

Future Of wheat III America.

We have had q run of prosperity for
some years, and had been regaled with
the thought that we had more food ma
terial than the nation could consume,
and as much to spare as the rest of the
world might want to buy The indica-
tions are that the day of heavy surplus
production is fast waning. Our wheat
crop in 1874 was the magnificent total Of
512, 700. 900 bushels. 1t has not kept at
the upper notch, and in the year 1889 it
figured maximum yield Of 400, SOC, 600
bushels. We have greater population
by nearly 15,000,000 than a decade ago,
and the increase of home consumption
would necessitate a larger yield and not
q smaller. .-EconOmis

Laughter in Public.

What is the reason one hears in public
places the loud voices of women SO much
oftener than men?
.Women-these loud voiced ones seem
to have the fancy that they cannot be
seen unless they are heard. And SO they
can't-in their true character. If it were
not that their words and laughter floated
out into space and above the hum Of all
other voices they really might at some
time get mistaken for ladies. From
their looks no one would imagine for an
instant that they were common, i'll bred
and vulgar.
A quiet fash of intelligence from their
eyes, accompanied by an appreciative
smile, would really convince an onlooker
that possibly it was the forerunner of
the keenest wit. But no wit can ac-
company the loud guffaw that bursts
out at the slightest provocation; no wit
from the boisterous laughter, and no ap-
probation of wit in Others. Chicago

A Prophecy.

A Pittsburg student, while reading
the book Of the Vision Of Nahum, the
Elkashite, came across passage that
seemed to him to be a prophecy of the
discovery of the use of electricity as a
motive power in the electric railways Of
the present day. The passage is from
Nahum ii, A, and reads as follows: ''The
chariots shall rage in the streets, they
shall jostle one against another in the
broadways; they shall seem like torches;
they shall run like the lightnings. -

A Near Approach to old-Time Scenes
On San Francisco Change.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1S.-The last two days
have witnessed the nearest approach on the
mining stock hoard to the oldtime scenes of
excitement, that has occurred fol- several years.
At this mornings session transfers of 10000
shares ofstock were made. The present excite
ment is attributed to current reports about new
developments of ore in the southern part of the
Consolidated California and Virginia claims,on
the HOO and 120O-foot levels, and Comstock
securities have steadily gone upward. Consoli-
dated California and Virginia reached $3.50
on change teis morning, an advance of 81 q
share.' over yesterdays lowest price. Best
Belcher, owing to the report that drift had
been started toward the newly-developed ore
body, went up to 50 share, as against the
opening price, 1926. Mexican, Gould and
Curry, Savage, Potosi, Yellow Jacket and other
''northenders" also felt the influence of the
advance, and went up several points. Quota
tions, however, dropped somewhat before the
close, when Consolidated California and vir-
ginia stood at $i2.25 asked.

O'CALLAGHAN'S GAME.
HE IS SUCCESSFULLY PLAYING 1T
IN SANTA ANA.
Making Money Hand Over Fist-How He
Works His Promissory Note Racket.
Arrested for Being Drunk.

John O'Callaghan, the red-headed
book agent who succeeded in getting the
signatures of lot of Oakland women to
promissory notes, on the subterfuge of
selling them books illustrated by Dore,
has, after visiting Los Angeles, turned
up in Santa Ana. His method is in
genious. He will call at residence
and represent to the lady of the house
that she may procure the works at the
nominal price of five cents per day, pay
able in monthly installments, the whole
sum of $36 becoming due in two years.
time, The purchaser appends her sig
nature to what she supposes to be a con-
tract, but which in reality is a note for
$36, payable in thirty days.
The paper is discounted at the bank,
and as the name is always that of some
well-to-do family he finds no difficulty
in getting the paper cashed.
In Santa Ana up to Monday evening
four such victims were found. On Fri
day the city marshal thought he looked
like fugitive he had description Of
and tried to arrest him, but O'Calla-
CHAN was too quick and made his es-
cape. Later the mistake was explained
and the wiley agent was so pleased that
he got drunk as lord, and was locked
up and fined. On Monday he was again
arrested for being drunk. He makes
money wherever he goes, his receipts in
Santa Ana he claims amounting to $175
day. While in Los Angeles he was
locked up as drunk, but no proceed
lngs against him for swindling were
commenced.

enjoy a good sleep when the sweeper
passed by, followed in a few moments
by the wagons and the men who gather
the sweepings. These men yell to each
other from across the street, shouting
their opinions on various matters, and
emphasizing their remarks with strong
language and epithets. Their shovels
were carelessly changed on the pave
ment, and great amount of unneces-
sary noise was made. This was on
residence street, and it is to be pre-
sumed that a large proportion of the
people in the neighborhood were dis
turbed.
1t is sure that the people who live on
streets which come under the care of
the street cleaning department would be
tremendously gratified for a little con-
sideration from the men.

the following. 1t is alleged:
"That plaintiff is now and has been for

ment set at the intersection of

tant 9.4S feet southerly from the north

"That the defendants have entered
upon the above described premises,
erected building thereon, elected the
plaintiff therefrom, and now withhold
the possession thereof from the plain
tiff" n
Under the second cause of action the
complaint reads:
"That the following described real
estate now is and has been for more
than forty years, next preceding the
bringing of this action, part and par
eel of public street Of the city of Los
Angeles, to-wit, the northerly junction
of Main and Spring streets of said city"
Then follows the same description as
above.
