Mark Hopkins interest is again renewed il
the proceedings TO break the viii OF that
lady. made in favor of 4 dozen or so rela-
tives. 1t is understood the viii is to be at
tackled on the grounds that Mrs. Searies
was subject to hts of temporary insanity
and further. that undue influence was
brought to bear in drawing up the VIII.
There are other persons interested in the
outcome of the contest besides the immedi-
ate relatives Of Mrs. Searle5. Among them
IS c. p. Huntington, president of the
southern Pacific railroad. Il appears that
the bulk OF the fortune left by Mrs Searlcs,
about $50, 000,000, is invested in Southern
Pacific securities. It is believed that the
stock owned by Mrs. Searles has been voted
in the interest of Huntington. II is also
said that Crocker and Senator Leland Stan

The Charitable Poor.

That the poor are good to one another
is the silent testimony of the race Of
beggars. Many of the cross streets up
town through which throngs of work.
ing people pass to and from their work,
says the New York Sun, are infested
with beggars in the early morning and
evening hours, and to an incredible ex-
tent. These birds of prey, who are for
the most part bloated, ragged women
whose tatters are redolent of whisky,
place themselves close to the stoop Of
some respectable dwelling house, and,
crouching against the rail, hold out a
grinny hand which suggests rather than
asks gift. Young girls going to their
work are moved to compassion, and
men feel superstitious repugnance to
passing an old woman in want, and so
these sodden, hopeless waits of humani-
ty find it profitable to haunt the places
through which the tide of daily labor
ebbs and flows most swiftly. In the
matter of charity, the practical diff
ference seems to be that the rich sub
scribe to charitable societies, the poor
give to those poorer than themselves.
But the poor give from their poverty.

FROM THE MOON.

appearance OI Cn0 k1aFLn rs view GU A1OAAA
the Lunar World.
IL is evident that to lunar observer
the disk of earth appears to be equal to
about sixteen areas of the solar disk,
says the New York Times. The solar
disk, as seen from earth, is on an aver.
age equal to the lunar disk seen from
the same point, for, in solar eclipse,
the disk of the moon covers the sun as
in an annular eclipse. Therefore the.
apparent size of the bodies must aver
age about equal in size to a terrestrial
observer. Again, the solar disk will
appear to the lunar observer just equal
to what it seems to be when seen from
earth, because the distance from the
san to the moon averages equal to the.
distance from the sun to earth. fSursher-
more, the diameter of the earth Is
equal to about four lunar dIameters,
snd of course the area Of their disks
sary as the square Of their radll, and
this makes the terrestrial disk about
EQUAL to sixteen lunar disks, and, OF
course. if the lunar disk is equal to the
Solar disk at a given distance, then the
terrestrial disk will seem to be about
sixteen times as great at the same dis
tance.
This enormous disk of earth must be
blue in color to the lunar observer, be-
cause earth's atmosphere is blue, and
all things seen through it seem blue.
Even interstellar space seems blue
through this medium, and the unillum-
mated parts Of the moon cannot be dis
tinguished from the space that aEouts it.
Bright, direct and reflected light is not
affected appreciably by it's passage
through our atmosphere; therefore,
stars, moonlight and distant illumina-
tions are not noticeably blue from that
