LOOKING GLASS TBLEGRAPHY.
How Armies Can Talk From Sacra-
MEMO to San Diego,
Something About the Photographic
System of ng-Experiments
by the National Guard.

Acknowledgement Allen has received
from Major NJ. T. Owens, the Signal Of
ticer on the staff of the First Brigade, a
map showing how communication from
San Diego to Sacramento could be secured
by means Of the heliograph system.
Corporal William y. Burr performed
the work after many weeks labor. and
his map shows just what points on or near
the coast. and what small islands off the
coast Of San Diego, can be communicated
with by means of the photographic sys-
tenn of signaling.
Very few persons other than members
of Signal Corps are familiar with the
workings of the Photograph. 1t is moth
ing more nor less, however, than a power
ful, yet small reflector, and in order to
communicate with distant section the
day must be clear and bright and the sun
shining in all its glory. Letters are made
on nearly the same plan as has been
adopted III biography. \ cover hides or
exposes the reflector, as may be desired,
and the dOt-and-dash system of signaling
is that employed by the operators.
Corporal Burr has pointed out on his
map the numerous high peaks whereon
stations might be established in case of
necessity, and he has hundreds of these
stations designated.
In order to communicate from San
Diego 10 Sacramento, the message
would have to pass through the hands of
the operators at about fifty different sta
tons. The last station from which a San
Diego message would be repeated for Sac
ramento would be on the top of Mount
Diablo. Corporal Burr claims that on a
clear day the heliograph would work to a
charm between this city and that noun
tain.
The suppostion is that the photographic
system would be put in operation in war
time, in case the telegraph lines were cut

CHARTER SUGGESTIONS.
The Committee on Education Holds
an Interesting Consultation.
Something About Teachers Qualff.
cations-Duties of the Superin-
tendent of Schools.

The Committee on Education was the
only branch of the Freeholders that met
last evening. There were present Free
holders Matt Johnson, DR.. Simmons,
Weinstock. Smith and Hall.
superintendent A. Hart of the CITY pub
lie schools was in attendance, and took
an active part in the discussion.
The provisions of Oakland's charter
with reference to educational matters was
first read.
One director, according to this charter,
is elected from each ward to serve two
years.
Mr.. Hart thought that directors should
serve four years. They only became
proficient at the expiration of two year
term.
Major Weinstock was strongly Of the
opinion that school directors should be
appointed, and not elected.
Captain HalI's idea was that the el lection
OF directors should be kept independent
OF politics.
Mr.. Weinstock said that in the cities of
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Brooklyn the standard of the public
schools was very high. In those cities
the school directors were apDointed nv
Sacramento now had good school direc-
tors to the interference of the Citizens
party. This faction compelled the two
main political parties to put forward
their best men.
treeholder Smith agreed with Mr..
Weinstock that the school directors
should be appointed.
Matt Johnson was afraid that under the
proposed new charter there would be too
many appointiVe positions. He thought
they should be elected, so that half could
stay IN and half go out every two years.
Mr.. Smith, however, insisted that the
polite idea should be avoided. The Free
holders should simply submit what they
thought to be right.
The Oakland charter provides that
none but heads Of families are eligible to
serve as school directors. Stockton's
charter draws the line even finer, pro-
viding that none but parents or guardi-
ans are eligible. The general opinion of
the committee seemed to be, however,
that bachelors had an interest IN the
schools and should be eligible
1t was decided that the board should
elect President yearly, and that the
superintendent should serve as Secretary
OF the board, as under the present char
ter.
DR.. Simmons thought that the Superin-
/ tendent of Schools should be the eXecu-
NV OiASS4 VI Tue UOdIu llSledu OF the
President, as at present. Mr.. Hart agreed
with him, and SO did the members OF the
committee.
The duties and powers of the board, the
committee decided, should remain sub
stantially as they are now.
There was some talk with reference to
the qualifications of teachers, and the
unanimous opinion was that the Super
intendent of Schools should be the Judge
IN this matter-that ne should have the
power of assigning teachers TO positions
they were best suited to fill.

SHERIFF STANLEY SUED.

r. p. NJ. Kelly Thinks His Claim
Should Precede That of Lewis.
r. p. NJ. Kelly commenced suit in the
Superior Court yesterday against Sheriff
Stanley.
Kelly sets forth in his complaint that in
December, 1890, O. a. Gregory, the now
insolvent photographer, executed to him a
promissory note for S725, and gave as Sc
curity chattel mortgage on the fixtures
and appurtenances of his photograph
gallery at Fifth and streets. SubSe-
quenuy these fixtures We're attached by
the Sheriff by virtue of a Judgment in the
suit OF L. l.. Lewis against Gregory for
S5I4.
Kelly alleges that his claim should
come in ahead Of Lewis, and therefore
the Sheriff's action was illegal; and he
prays for judgment against the Sheriff for
SSl2 and costs OF suit.

a Boxer. Looking for Fame, Gets Into
Trouble in MarysviIIe.
McCleveland, the mulatto, who posed
as a prize-fighter with dismal result in
this city several weeks ago, is in trouble
in Marysville.
McCleyeland's offense, aside from being
'vag," is that of causing disturbance
in disreputable house in that town.
McCleveland's anticipation of work on
the changing or of any kind caused him
to shed bitter tears when he was called
upon to plead in the Marysville Police
Court. He explained his presence at the
house in question by stating that a few
weeks ago in Sacramento he had secured
license to wed one of the inmates ofthe
place, named Louise. She had eluded
him and from Sacramento went to Grass
Valley. He followed her there, but she
turned deaf ear to his entreaties and
left him in the lurch again with the mar
riage certificate on his hands. She came
to Marysville, he followed, she spurned
him and it was his supplications that the
officer who arrested him had mistaken
for what comes under the law as q dis
