CORRETT WILL. UMPIRE.
The Man Who Knocked Him out
vii! Assist.

Arrangements have now been concluded
which will preclude tie possibility of there
being any kicking at the decision of the
umpire in next Sundays game of ball. II
the umpire says that wild pitch is Il
home run the players will simply look
pleasant and continue TO play ball.
Jim Corbett will be the umpire on that
occasion.
The baseball magnates and Manager
Brady, Corbett's right bower, have been
negotiating to this end for some time and
yesterday, upon thu arrival of Manager
Lindley of the Los Angeles team. the ar
engagements were completed.
The question that naturally arises al
this junction is, What does Jim Corbet;
know about baseball?
estigation of the subject reveals the
fact that he knows whole lot more about
Aseball than some might suppose
The fact is that Jim used to be a base
ball player right here in San Francisco in
the year of our Lord 1888. And he has been
a crank ever since.
Some people were met yesterday who can
remember when Jim used to play second
Dase in the AlcaZar team, at one stage OF
the game the greatest nine in the State
jim used to be the most enthusiastic
and energetic player in the city," sale one
of the old-time cranks yesterday. HE
maze rafting good second baSeman and
playing baseball was how he developed
his remarkable strength and agility"
Then, another flu ny thing about Sun
days game is that Jim Mcdonald will be
with him on the umpiring. and Mcdonald
is the only man who ever knocked Corbett
out in a ring fight.
Old-timers will remember that McDon-
aid used to be one of the luckiest Young
fighters in San Francisco, or on the coast.
and one night. when Corbett was frs
poisoning out as fighter, he appeared
against the man who is now profession al
umpire. and was knocked down and ont.
The game will be between the Los An
geles and San francisco teams, who will
play series OF five games here and at
Oakland this week, commencing today ri;
the Haight-street grounds. Sundays
game will also be at Haight street.

Insects and Search LIGHTS

a new contribution has been made to
the abundant data which have been COL
lected on the subject of the attraction of
and destruction of insects by the glare of
the electric light by l.. hewitt, an cleo
trlcal engineer. who was on service on a
ship Of the British navy during the last
war in Egypt. Mr.. hewitt was desirons
OF testing the power of the searci light.
and states that he and a friend read a
newspaper one night as they sat in the
garden Of their hotel at Port Said with
the greatest ea7e, the only illuminant
being the light of a protector.
whose beam had been thrown a
distance of four and half miles from
one Of the battle-ships. Some of the
ships had instructions to follow the move
ments of the enemy by aid of the search
light, which in every case was more than
two miles from the shore. However, in
spite OF this great distance, it was found
that millions Of winged insects were at
tracted by the beam Of light aud travelled
along the beam Until they struck the glass
in front Of the ojector, and fell into the
well at its foot, where they accumulated
in seething mass two feet deep. They
had to be cleared out by free use of a
hose pipe, and the insects became such d
pest that it was difficult 10 find man to
stand by the protector to keep it working,
owing TO the attacks made upon him.

DISCOVERY OF PORCELAIN.
1t Transformed an Alchemist Into a
Potter Nearly 200 Years Ago.


Although porcelain was known to both
the Chinese and Japanese for ages, it was
not introduced into Europe until the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth century, when
John Bottcher, native of Schlaiz in
Voightland, was the first to make it. This
man was apprentice to a Berlin apotbe-
cary, named ZOrD, in whose shop he con-
ferred some favor upon a protested
alchemst, who, in return, promised to
teach him the art of transmitting the baser
metals into gold. Bottcher, after study
ing under his new master for time mag
agined that his fortune was made, and in
100 he ran away.
He was pursued, but found protection
am ong friends, VINO demanded TO witness
an exhibition Of his pretended skill, and
the poor fellow was eventually compelled
to acknowledge that he had been imposed
upon. But he persevered in his labors.
and on one occasion. having made a mix
ture of various finely organized earth for
the purpose of making strong crucibles,
he discovered after he had taken the COM
pound mass from the oven that he had
gained kind OF pottery more beautiful
than be had ever seen. The transmuta-
ton, it may therefore be said. took place
not in the metals indeed but in his own
person, for Boticher was suddenly changed
from an alchemist to a potter. In 1706 the
nrst porcelain was thus manufactured in
Dresden. Being made If conred clay il
presented light brownish red hue. but as
early as 1909 beautiful, white porcelain
was obtained, and its manufacture was

THE DEATH PENALTY.
The GuilIotine, Garroting, Hanging
and EIeCtrocution.

Ing most recent statistics on the subject
ofcapital punishment relate to its efficacy
s. preventive of murder, and also cast
light on the practice Of the various coun-
tries Of the world, SAYS the Boston Herald.
It appears that in Holland there have been
no executions since 1860, and the extreme
penalty aas abolished in that country in
1870. The ROumanian Government abol-
ished it in 1864, and Portugal has since
taken the same course. There is in Bel
GUM practically no punishment of death,
for, though the law decreeing execution
for murder still remains on the statute
books there has been no execution in that
country since 1868.
The Swiss have had a varied experience
in the matter Thew totally abolished the
extreme penalty in 1874. but such a marked
increase in the mum Der Of murders fol-

tabishing the punishment of death in
their respective territories. Seven of the

In other European countries the death
penalty has also been given up, while in
still others, which retain it, there is dis
inclination TO carry out death sentences.
Russia retains capital punishment only Tor
political crime, common murderers being
eXlled fOrl fe to Siberia. In Austria, during
the years between 1870 and 1879, only Is

We're executed. In Sweden, during the same
period, out Of 80 sentenced to death only 8
were executed; in Denmark. out of 81 only
l, and IN Bavaria, out of 249 committed for
murder only Z were executed. In North
Germany, between 1869 and 1874
period of ten years-1501 persons were
convicted Of ''homlcida crime" and
4S4 of them were sentenced to death,
but only one was executed-Hodel, who
attempted the assassination of Emueror
William. In the United States several of
the Legislatures have done away with
capital punishment Thus the extreme
penalty for murder does not exist in
Michigan. Wisconsin, Rhode Island and
Maine. But the States of New York and
Iowa. having abolished the death penalty,
were compelled by the subsequent increase
of crime to restore it. The methods OF
putting murderers to death vary from the
use of the sword or guillotine in Germany

TWENTY MILLION YEARS.
About That Time the Extinction of
the Sun Will Kill This Earth.
in L'Astronom

According to all probability, notwith-
standing all the circumstances which
threaten 1t, our planet will die, not of an
accident, but natural death. That death
will be the consequence of the extinction
of the sun in twenty million years or more
perhaps thirty--siuce its condensation at
relatively moderate rate will give in on
one hand 100000 years of existence,
while on the other hand the inevitable fall
of meteOrs INTO the sun may double this
number. Even if you suppose the dura-
ton of the sun to be prolonged to 10000
600 wears, IL Is still incOntes bile that Til e
diatioa from the sun cOcls it, and that
the temperature of all bodies tends to an
equilibrium.
The day will come when the sun will be

planets Of our system will cease to be the
abode Of life. They will be erased from

These little worlds lose their elements of

are crumbling away and becoming covered
by the sea, which nsensibly and by yerv
slow degrees tends to invade ard submerge
