Last nights papers quoted silver at
75s, the highest it has been since the
June collapse. Some think the rise is
in anticipation of favorable legislation,
and there is strong grounds for hope
full feeling. The New York Press, a
repeal paper, says a 20 to 1 ratio bill
will pass both branches of congress.

The Jury Commission.

A Times representative ran across
Senator French at the court house on
Friday afternoon. He says that the
protest of the Board of Canvassers
against the jury commission for st.
Clair county as passed by the legislature
will have but little weight, because it
was the work of 20 partisans. Mr..
French saws that only one attorney in
Port Huron opposes the scheme. The
bill provides that the governor shall
appoint six commissioners, whose duty
it will be To select good men as iurymen.
1t will have the effect of securing good
men for all circuit juries. Gov. Rich
will probably sign the bill next week
and make the experimentation

about on level with the summit of Mob

You see pedestrians wading in the water !;
you see the lampDost, the houses. the pass
ing vehicles aud cable-cars, all partly SUBJ
merged in this pond OF water that is not.
Though 1t is not, yet il is. The harder
you look the more apparent it becomes.

You are ready 10 swear that II cannot be
merely an illusion, that there is really a
sheet of water covering the surface of the
street at that point.
Then you raise your point of sight foot
or two and 10! the crystal lake has disap-
peared. There Is no water in the street,
and all is hot and dry and hard. You have
seen mirage.
There are two kinds of mirages, the
superior aud the inferior. 1t is the infe-
rior you see at the summit of Mob Hill, or
out on the desert. The so-called superior
mirage is 81 en- in the air and usually from
the surface of the water.
The desert or surface mirage, such as
that now seen on Mob Hill. presents an
appearance of objects reflected in a surface
Of water. The heated earth rarefies the
air in the lower strata faster than it can
escape, and the flatness OF the ground con-
duces the maintenance of an abnormal dis
tribution Of density.
Perhaps this is not a very clear exposi-
tioH Of the mirage phenomenon, but it is
about the way the Century Dictionary ex-
plains it. and if you fail to understand,
why there is the thing itself at your very
door. Go and see it. Then you will know
more about the mirage than all the diction-
aries can teach you.

answer TO a surprised questioner. In
surance policies of nearly all companies
prohibit the keeping and use OF parlor
matches in any part of a botel. but they
are generally kept in the offices because
they are in greater favor and more con-
venient than the sulphur match, and the
requirements of the policy is to that ex-

the issuing company. There isn't much
chance for an accidental ignition OF par

TO BE CONTESTED.
A Ruling of Max Pepper to Be APP
pealed From.

The action of the Thirty seventh Dis
trict Democratic committee in choosing
Senator w. FL. Williams member to sue
ceed Frank j. Murasky is to be contested.
Mr.. Williams was elected by just twelve
votes, all his opponents practicing the
fashionable tactics of keeping out of the
meeting.
Under the circumstances attending the
receiving of Mr.. Murasky's resignation
this may be considered clear victory for
the O'Donnell faction, but The minority,
led by Secretary Hughes. proposes to take
an appeal to the general committee.
When the effort was first made by the
district committees president. Joseph E.
O'Donnell, to get Mr.. Murasky's resigna-
ton before it-at the meeting last pre-
ceding-M. d. Nolan had just been elected
to fiji the vacancy caused by Daniel Nc
Sweeney's death. but Max Pepper, then
acting as chairman. ruled against Mr.. No
Ian being allowed to vote at that meeting.
The result was that the question Of whether
Mr.. Murnsky's resignation should be ac-
ccpted or not was left undecided by tie
vote, Mr.. Curlev, one of O'DonnelPs
friends, having taken his leave of the gath

MOB HILL MIRAGE.
A Very Aristocratic Fata
Morgana.
YOU CAN SEE WHAT Is NOT.
A Lateral Mirage Is Apparent at the
junction of Mason and Cali
fornia Streets.

Aristocratic Mob Hill has mirage. Ii
Coils P. Huntington were in town you
could see him striding through big pond
of water without getting wet. That would
be peculiarly Huntingtonian trick and
would not excite much attention, but to
see Secretary Martin of the Art Associa-
ton going up Mason street in water up to
his knees, yet with never a drop of moist
ure on him, is an appartion worth going
to the top of California-street hill to
behold.
In the desert one is on the lookout for
the mirage. In the heart of populous
city only the very keen observer would be
pit to discover the Illusion were it ever SO
apparent. That is the reason why the
Mob Hill mirage. though very clearly de-
fined for the last three months. has been
little observed.
1t is very distinct. nevertheless. and at
least one resident of the neighborhood has
seen the Illusion daily and reveled in the
strange sight.
