DANGER REALIZED
A Large Falling Off in
Ferry Travel.
The Boats Carried Comfortable Loads
All Day, but They Were Not
Crowded as Usual.

There was a large falling Off in ferry
travel yesterday.
This was with out doubt due to a reali
cation by the public of the danger of over
crowding the bay steamers.
Instead OF the thousands who flocked
along the ferry-slips last Sunday there
were only hundreds visible. There was no
crushing, no clamoring for admission to
the ferry-gates as on previous Sundays.
The falling of was particularly notice.

ron slips. Sergeant Mahony. who has
been stationed at these slips for years,
stated that the day was frost" for the
railroad and ferry companies. Instead of
being damned to the waters edge with
human freight there was only comforta-
bic crowd on board the steamers The s
o'clock return boats from Tiburon and
Sausalito were not half as thronged as on
previous Sundays.

mighty poor claim. Men without number
have attempted to work it, and men with
out number have made failures of their
attempts. There didn't seem to be any,
thing in the mine worth delving after
So many were the failures made in con-
nection with the place that finally people
began to look upon it as ''hoodoo," and
when Big BIZ expressed his determine
ton to try his hand at the concern people
simply believed he was going daft.
He wasn't, however, as later develop
ments proved.
He hadn't been hammerlng away in the
old shaft more than few hours when he
struck something which caused him TO
cheer up bit.
IL was dirt of the richest kind and in
which the gold fairly glstened.
"Oh, that doesn't show anything" said
the town wiseacres when Bill exhibited
his first finds. "The other fellows struck
the same kind of stuff, but where are thew
to-day? All you will get if on keep on
digging is water, and a mans fool who
digs for that"
Higgins kept on digging, however, and
he did not get water. Instead he struck
pocket. out of which he has taken no small
amount Of good gold and which still con-
tinues to yield generously to its discoverer
sample of what is being taken out was
brought to the city yesterday. and attracted
much attention among mining men by its
great wealth.
The rock Is about four Inches long, and
of an equal height and contains over 5000
worth of gold.
The metal runs through it in thick Law
ers. and shines forth so brightly that it
appears as though it had been attached to
the quartz by artificial means.
In formation it resembles somewhat an
elephants head. aud is thought so great
curio that the Mining Bureau is making
strenuous efforts to obtain il and forward
it to Chicago.
The gentleman who brought it to the
city. while pricing 1t highly. does not ap-
pear able to discover anything extraor-
binary about it. and says it is simply
specimen of what ''Big Bill" is daily tax
ing out of the hoodoo nine. Hence the
large William individuals claim on good
luck.

Chinese Flags at riaIf-Mast.

The Chinese Six Companies respect the
memory of the late Leland Stanford as
they do that of few white men. Every
one of them evinced their reverence for the
de ad Senator by placing the yellow flag Of
China. together with the emblem of their
particular con pany, at hali-mast over the
company's headquarters.
Not since the death of President Garfield
have the flags of the Six Companies been
placed at half-mast and in the memory of

Two occasions upon which the Chinese
have shown such marked respect upon the

BIG BILLS LUCK.
Rich Find of Gold in an
Old Mine.
A Small Specimen of the Ore Is
Valued at Two Hundred

Big Bill Higgins is the luckiest sort of a
man.
Ten days ago he did not possess wealth
enough TO make him feel certain that he
could eat with any degree OF regularity for
seven consecutive days. To-day he is the
owner of some of the finest specimens of
gold quartz that were ever found cached
on the Nevada City ledge and a mine
which gives promise of proving a most
profitable one.
1t was luck pure and simple which gave
Bill these things too.

precautions must be taken. however.

you do let it be the very mildest and

filtered. The yelks Of two new.laid
eggs are much to be preferred to
soap; they make beautiful lather,
and when the washing is finished and
the hair thoroughly rlnsed in the
purest rain water, you will find, when
dry. that the gloss will not be des-
troyed. which an alkali never fails to
do The first water must not be
very hot. only just warm, and the
last perfectly cool. Dry with soft
towels-but do not rub until the skin
is tender-and afterward brush. BE
careful to have your brushes and

Streets and Street Cars of Buenos
AyreS.

The noise Is deafeninc from the
rumble OF heavy-wheeled carts and
wagons and the incessant passing of
horse cars one close behind the other.
But the gathering of hoofs and the
rolling of wheels on the rough granite
pavement is drowned and forgotten
in the shrieking of tramway horns
In front OF each car, hung up Just in
reach of the drivers lips, is a cow
horn, upon which he continually
toots with indefatigable virtuosity,
which forfeits rest and peace by day
and murders sleep O. nights as ef-
fectively as Macbeth's conscience.

The IiOiian Harp.

The aolian harp is not very we'll
known, but is very curious, and is
supposed to have been invented by
Father kircher, the Jesuit savant,
who lived in the scveutecth century
and invented many ingenious ma
chimes. But the fact Of the spOnta-
neOus resonance OF certain musical
instruments when exposed to cur
rent of air had struck the observers
of nature in times of remotest an
tiGuity. One OF tho Talmuds says
that the harp of David sounded wh"n
the north wind blew on it, and it
has been suggested that he had an
Il olian, as we understand it.
Kircher's harp hid fifteen strings
OF catgut and the force of the wind
was detected on to it by various shut
tiers OF screens In later times this
was improved upon by Me :srs Frost
and Kastner, but was similar to the
preceding form in principle and con-
struction. The aolian harps in the
old castle OF Baden Baden and those
| in the four turrets of StraSburg Ca
thedral, are celebrated.
These are all made Of strings
stretched over sounding-bOard, and
require tuning to keep them in har-
mony. They are also large and cum
brus, and have limited numb@r Of
strings, which make the music more
or less mOnotonous, and they are de-
pendent on the wind from one direc-
ton only. The changes of tempera-
ture and dampness of the atmos-
phere make them constantly out of
tune, and, indeed, often cause the
strings to break. These difficulties
and drawbacks have hitherto pre-
vented the aolian harp from being SO
well known and popular as such an

deserves to be; but the latest develop
ment of this harp named uolia. in
vented by an Englishman, is Il step
in the right direction.
The music is produced by sensitive
metallic reeds, instead of strings. so
that it never requires tuning. and as
there are eight separate notes, there
is a great variety of sound. 1t is in

and may be left there without dam
age from the weather; it turns round
before the wind. and is, therefore,
exposed to every point of the com
pass, and the music passes into an
organ pipe, by which it is greatly en-
riched and improved.
Besides the aolian harp possesses
remarkable properties which act upon
the nervous system and cause very
different impressions, according to the
