out some particularly beautiful piece of
scenery.
From the observatory buildings, with
their telescopes, series of views of the
moon we're next shown. The wildness
and grandure of this body could readily
be imagined as each succeeding view
was followed by grander picture OF the
moons surface.
The volcanic region of the earth, as
observed around Mount Vesuvius, was
shown along with that of the moon, and
corresponded almost exactly with that
of the latter body.
Views of the planets of our solar sys-
tenn were also shown, and brief COM
ments made. Several views of the
milky way were displayed. The speaker
showed by the views the process of pho
tographing the various heavenly
bodies. The process, he said, was a
very tedious one, it being necessary
to expose the plate for five or six hours,
and that the plate bad to be kept NOV
ing precisely with the object being pho
tographed, for if there was even the
thousandth part of an inch difference in
their movements the star would not
take distinctly and would leave a
blurred line instead OF clear impress
sion. the plate being thus rendered USE
less.
The way the camera was regulated
was to have two telescopes of equal
lenses, one on top of the other. At the
lower one person sat, and across the
lens were two parallel wires. The OPP
orator got the object to be photographed
between these wires and kept the tele-
scope moving exactly with the star. At
the end of the telescope on top the
photographing plate was placed, and in
this manner exposed for the requisite
time.
The lecture was unfortunately closed
by the gas in the stereopticon giving out
30 that most interesting lecture was cut
short.
After the lecture rush for the Ter
minal railroad train ensued, which ar
rived in Los Angeles about 40 p. m.
1t was announced that the 1880 class
would meet today in the chapel at Q
o'clock, and the 1890 and Alumni in the

Marion HarIand,s opinion.

Readers OF the HERALD are familiar
not only with the sprightly writings of
Marion Harland, but also with her
sound common sense upon matters of
every day life and action. Her name,
indeed. is a household world. and is
equally well-known in parlor and
kitchen. Her celebrated cookbook,
HCommon Sense in the Household" is
without peer and shows that she has
made careful study of how to prepare
good, wholesome food in the best man
ner by the best materials. In this is
sue we produce fac-simile letter from
Marion Harland that speaks from her
experience in the highest terms of the
unequaled qualities of the Royal Baking
Powder. Housewives everywhere should
read the opinion of such an expert and
act accordingly. All good cooks, who
have used the Royal, are of the same
opinion also.

mense quantity of oil escaped from
break in the Crescent Oil Pipe Coz line
yesterday, flowing into Nillcr's run.
Several hunters, TO have some fun, set
fire to the oil, and the surface of the
creek was a mass Of flame in an incredi-
bly, short time. The entire run bore
the appearance ola furnace, the flames
mounting up 80 to 100 feet. Large
trees along the banks were destroyed in
q few minutes, and the heat was so in
tense that limestone lodges were soon
reduced to chalky mass. Pipe line
finally smothered the flames.

The "Nyrong" Speaker.

The Washington correspondent of

ing incident occurred during the recent
visit of the Virginian boundary line
committee. Mr.. Pitcher, of Fauquier
county, member OF the Virginia
House of Delegates, had arrived during
the evening, and was entertained III
Speaker Cardwell's room. Early the
following morning Mr.. Pitcher sought
his companions ofthe previous evening,
and was wandering about the dimly
lighted halls in an effort to locate the
exact room. as all of the delegation
was qualtered on The same floor. Who

met by Il response to Come in. Right
in boIted the ELUSIVE Pitcher, and
banged the door behind him with the
yigor which he would have exercised
on the rusty-hinged barn door or the
dragging gate on his pleasant
farm ut Midland. The drowsy
clerk in the Office below started up
bewildered, and the sleeping occupants
of the neighboring rooms turned over

porter and bridal parties with Saratc-
ga trunks, which they imagined had az

Rev. John g. Paxton, d. D., for 81 years q
missionary to the group of South sea Islands
know as the New Hebrides, has been during
ali his eyentful career exposed daily to the
cruelty of cannibals and savages, has had
many a most thrilling escape, has witnessed
the conversion of 1900 souls from canni-
balism TO Christianity, the printing OF the
Bible in 10 different languages, entire tribes
OF sayages civilized and rendered orderly and
industrious, $50 native teachers and evange
lists educated. and 20 Islands reached By tire

T1oN.-Sherili Gordon, of Fairfax conn
ty, brought John McElfresh from Wash

from the Governor. The charge against
McElfrcsh is that he stole horse from
Abraham Meatersbaugh in Fairfax
county on the Both of November. The
horse was found in the District and re-
turned to its owner The sheriff went
with q requisition and secured McEl-
fresh on Saturday morning. An unfor-

ance spotted him.

The truth of the charge that the lead
crs of the Homestead strikers hrlbed a
cook in the Carnegie works to poison
the food of the non-union men who
were fed within those works, is not in
validated by the fact that one of those
leaders is an ex-convict. The more
that is learned about the leaders Of the
strike referred to, the more credible
becomes the almost incredible stories
of their diabolical crimes, as narrated
by the chief of the Pinkerton force.
