An intimate friend Of the Stanford
family relates an incident in the sena-
tors life in Washington: A policeman
on duty one evening on X street, within
a block of the Stanford residence at the
national capital, found man lying un-
conscious on the sidewalk. He was
about to ring In an alarm for the patrol
wagon when a gentleman came mp and
recognized the unconscious man as SEN
ator Stanford. They succeeded in get
ting the senator into his house without
any one else knowing what had hap
pened, and nothing was ever said about
it. The first question the senator asked
when he regained consciousness was
whether the newspapers would know all
about it, and he appeared to be greatly
relieved when he learned that it had
been kept secret. The gentleman who
knew of this incident said that the sena-
tors sudden death was no surprise to
him.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A Novelty In Trolley Roads.

In an electric road recently construct
ed in England radical departure from
American methods has been made. A
trolley wire is suspended from arms pro-
jecting from steel columns. No guy
wires are employed. as the steel wires
are especially designed to Withstand Sc
we're strains. At the corners the trolley
wire, instead of following curve Of the
same radius of the track, as in the Amer
lean systems. is turned on an angle, the
whole system depending on the fiexibili-
ty of the trolley arm, or side collector,
as it is called, which automatically en-
cages the trolley wire in any position
from two to twelve feet from the side of
the car.
Another change from American prac-
tice is the adoption Of pressure of only
$50 volts. The cars are only 20 feet long
and are equipped with two motors of 10
brake horsepower, running at 400 revo-

A Terrible Lsokine Pin.

A well known gentleman Of Seattle the
other day handed to reporter q curious
looking scarfpin, the head of It being of
the size of a small marble, such as is
used by boys. In color IL was peculiar
reddish amber, and seemed to contain a
strange lifelike heart, from which drop
Of blood appeared ready to fall.
"a heart Of fire bedreamed with haze"
"What is ity' asked the reporter.
"It is an eye taken from q mummy"
was the reply.
"Where was It taken fromT' was asked.
81 was at africa, Peru, in 1882, and
took 1t from mummy myself" was the
reply. "A number Of young men and
myself one day were out for sport and
dug up dozen mummies for the sake
of seeing what they had been buried with.
We found money, pieces Of pottery, ETC.,
but did not strike a gold mine. Nearly
all the better class Of mummies seemed
to have these eyes in them, and / took
this from one of them. l could not
learn what it was Some people In Peru
contend that 1t is the natural eye pre-
served and hardened in some manner,
while others think II fish's eye. They
do not bother their heads much about It
down there, however. The fact that
these eyes are found in mummies is suffi-
cient for them. have never heard Of
any tradition connected with them.
II took the eye to a jewelry store in
San Francisco and tried to get it pol
ished, but could not, although half
dozen men worked on it. The powder
arising from it while they were at work
would make them deathly sick and also
get in their eyes and blind them tenn

Photographing In Colors.

Color photography has attracted much
attention during the past year or 10
months, and the experiments in that line
have been startlingly successful. Pro-
fessors Lippmann and Vogel are the pio-
neers in this branch Of the Photographic
art, and both are enthusiastic over re-
cent results. Lippmann's Investigations
have proven that on layer of aIbumen
he could take brilliant photographs Of
the spectra, nor was it necessary to
bring out the colors one at q time by a
laborious application of specially pre-
pared chemicals. On the contrary, they
all.came out at once, even red, and that,
too, without the interposition of colored
screens. In letter to a society of pho
tographers Lippmann says; Announce
the most wonderful discovery of the age.
I have brought out colors more brilliant
than the tints of the rainbow after an ex-
posure of less than 80 seconds. Alasi
grieve to tell you that there are certain
colors in the rainbow that have not
succeeded in claiming to my plate.

The area of the Atlantic is about 3d.
100000 square miles. less than half the
area of the Pacific and between one
sixth and one-seventh Of the total sur
face area Of the world. It would form a
circle q, 1s0 miles in diameter. which is
rather more than donble the distance
from Liverpool to New York.
Its depth is much better known than
that Of the Pacific and averages more
than 1900 fathoms, probably about A.
600 feet, or about "a miles. The height
of Mont Blanc is about three miles.
The cubic contents are therefore near

lantic could be contained bodily in the
Pacific nearly three times. The number
of cubic feet is 1T followed by II ci-

off by our million clocks in $40 900 years.
Its weight is 825, 900 billion tons. and the
number Of gallons in 1t is 70 trillions. A

to be 588i miles in diameter.

Measures Taken by the Home Govern
meni for Their Prots ction.
For some time it has been known
that unprinciped persons are in the
habit of inducing Japanese females to
leave their homes and proceed abroad
under pretext of procuring for them hon
orable and lucrative employment in ths
Occident. To the average Japanese,
saws the Yokohama Herald, the idea OF
going to Europe or America has irresist-
ibie attractions 1t seems to open up q
field OF p disabilities that can never by
any chance exist in Japan, and, at all
events, the mere fact OF having travelled
abroad invests a Japanese with con
siderable more Importance in the eyes
OF his countrymen than attaches
to similar experience in the
case of European or American. Hence
there is an excellent opportunity for any
speculative scoundrel to play on the as
piiations and ambitions OF Japanese fe-
males, and to delude innocent girls by
promises, the value of which they have
no means OF estimating. Once the un-
happy women find themselves abroad
their hepessness renders them easy
victims, and they are sold into lives of
shame and misery. To prevent the
practice OF such raecalty and to avert
such suffering, the ministers of state
for foreign and home affairs have is
sued the following notification, under
date Of January 3, 1898, and caused it to
be distributed in every part of the en-
pire:
Whereas, unprincipled persons have
OF late been going from place to pace
for the purpose of inducing virtuous
women, who have no knowledge OF for.
ei9n countries, to proceed abroad Oh the
faith Of specious promises, various de-
cetful methods being employed to get
the women out Of the country; and
Whereas, 80 soon as these women
rsach foreign shores instead of having
lawful occupation found for them, they
are compel ed to lead lives of shame or
are sold for immoral purposes, the con-
sequence being that the number of un-
speakably distressed Japanese females
in foreign countries has increased great
ly, many of whom are in districts go re-
mote as to be beyond the reach of the
Efforts which the Japanese legations and
coneu ates do not fail to make for their
protection, the women themselves at
the same time being obstructed and
hampered in their attempts to appeal
for protection.
Now. therefore, we hereby notify that
a thorough system of supervision must
be organized with the object of defeat
ing the nefarious designs of the above
mentioned persona and OF preventing
women from being misled into going
abroad on the strength of deusive pro
misses. MUTsU MUNEMTsU,

BREAD MAY BE SCARCE.
JOURNEYMAN BAKERS ARE OUT
ON A STRIKE.
The Bosses Adopt Resolutions which
Are Not Satisfactory-The Nom
Union Men Side with
the strikers.

The bakers OF this city are in cad
plight, and many family will fail to
receive their customary loaf of bread
this morning.
1t appears the bosses had meeting
on Thursday night, and adopted reso-
luton which did not by any means meet
the appreciation of the union journey
men, the consequence being that they
walked out on Saturday at midnight.
The bosses thought it would be an easy
matter to obtain non-union men, but to
their great surprise when calling upon
the latter they refused to work. This
was sad blow to the bosses, for it
left them in difficult at titude
Yesterday Ebinger. Meek, Anderson
and other numerous bakers were Skin
miehing'around the country endeavoring
to get as many bakers as possible to take
the places of the strikers, but up to late
reports last night they had met with
poor success.
The bosses and few OF their friends
were trying to make Roadway during the
night but it was slow work, and it is safe
to say one-tentn of the usual supply OF
bread, cakes, ETC., will not materialize
his morning.
1t looks as if the union have the bak-
ers in their power Tor at least a time
The outcome will be watched with inter
est.
The difference between the employers
and employees is one of hours. Hereto
fore the men have gone to work at
O'Clock in the evening and worked until
three or four in the morning with no
pay for overtime. The journeymen
asked come time ago that the hours be
changed, the work commencing at 6
O'Clock in the morning and lasting for
ten hours, on ertime to be paid for at the
rate OF 80 cents an hour.
Last night fine bosses donned their
aprons and caps, fred up their ovens
and went to work at their dough them
selves with the assistance of very few
non-union men. Both sides claim to be
sure of victory, go time only can tell
which is correct.

A two-story frame building and an ad-
joining Chinese wash house at the corner
OF Temple and Douglas streets was en-
tirely destroyed by fire about $50
O'Clock last night. The damage donesis
estims ted at over $4,000. The lower part
OF the building was rented as grocery
store by II. Herman. Herman had only
lately gone into business and had only
insured his stock for 5000. He estimates
his loss at $500. As far as could be
learned Last night this was the only in
surance in the building. The upper part
of the house was occupied by two pri-
waite families who lost everything.
Z The fire originated in the Chinese
laundry. One of the men employ ed told
q reporter that he was busy washing
linen when the lamps exploded. He
had barely time to escape before the
whole place was in flames. Instead of
sending in an alarm at once, the scared
Chinaman ran around looking for water
and by the time Officer Robbins saw the
flames and sent in an alarm, the adioin-

A Msjority OF the Board Ignore the Poor
MAJ in Favor of Corporations.
The public can justly thank Mr.. JOS
eph Mesmer, one OF the park commits
eioners, for the stand he took a the
meeting held on the 11th inst, by intro
ducing resolution that only poor men
having teams that bring them an in
come should be employed on the parks.
Mr.. Mesmer'H resolution was voted
down by a vote OF 8 to 2, the majority OF
the board favored the present system OF
favoring the Oil Burning and Supply
company and superintendent OF
Streets Hutchinson, who have teams
working for the city on the parks. Why
these people should be favored and the
poor man ignored is something that
needs an explanation.
1t is alleged that the drivers Of the
teams supplied by the Oil Burning and
Supply company only receive 81 81 a
day and, furthermore, they are said to
be compelled to work two hours every
day for the oil company after finishing
the city work. There is an ordinance
that eight hours is days work and
that drivers shall receive at least ~ a
day. Here the Oil Burning and Supply
company and ex Street superintendent
Hutchinson derive the profit on their
teams, while poor men are compelled to
sell their teams because they cannot
get enough work to support themselves
and feed their horses.
A HERALD reporter saw the mayor and
Captain Cross in regard to the matter
The former stated his reasons for voting
as be did could be found on the minutes
of the meeting. Captain Gross was very
defiant on the question, stating lie was
not on the board for the purpose of
looking up charity matters, and if the
poor men with their teams could not get
work in this city, they should get out
and go somewhere else. The poor man
has vote and will no doubt remember
Mr.. Cross. He has placed himself on
record as against the day laborer. Mr..
Mesmer and Mr.. Pinney have shown
themselves the riends of the laboring
men, and the various labor organiza.
tions should take cognizance OF the en-
beavers of these men in their behalf.
