Science on Heligoland.

A biological station has been recently
started on Heligoland. According to
;he recent report of the director, Herr
Heinke, it contains, with other rooms,
Xix work rooms with excellent light,
,ne for the director, two for the assist
ints, fourth for DIR. Kuckuck (who is
Engaged on the marine fora of the
sland), while the other two are for
''ambulant" uaturalists. The condi-
ions of occupation of these will soon
oe published. The cellar space is being
arranged for aquaria. Several boats
with dredging and fishing apparatus
are at the disposal of the inmates. One
Of these is launch with petroleum
motor; it has small cabin, with cook
stove, etc, SO that the whole day can
be spent comfortably on the sea. In
the summer months arrangements will
be made for excursions of several days.
A few months researches on the fauna
and fora around Heligoland have re-
vealed greater richness in these than
had been supposed. New forms not be-
fore observed in the German North sea
have come to light almost daily. The
ichthyologist finds Heligoland u rich
field, and interesting studies can be
prosecuted on the larval forms of
crustacea, on mimicry and protective
colors in marine animals and their re-
lation to marine plants, etc.-London

A Posse Encounters n Couple OF Toughs
and One Is Shot Through the Body.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, Sept 6.-Word
has been received here of a desperate
battle between Deputy United States
Marshal o. S. Harris posse and two
desperadoes called "Three-Fingered
Jack" and Tecumseh, negro, near
Keokuk Falls, on the border of
Oklahoma. When they were in
formed that "Three-Fingered Jack"
and Tecumseh would be at a
dance in that neighborhood that
night with a quantity of whisky,
Harris and his posse laid in wait for
them and surrounded them in the road.
The desperadoes drew revolvers in each
hand and rode through the guard in
front of them, keeping up a constant
fire. They fired four shots before the
posse opened on them. Tecumseh's
horse was killed and Jacks wounded,
but both escaped.
Harris had five men in his party and
they were all on foot and were unable
to follow the desperadoes. Later news
has reached here that Tecumseh was
shot through the body and could not
possibly recover. Three Fingered
Jacks name is Boone, and he was IA
member of the Dalton gang. There is
large reward offered for him in Kan
sas, where he is wanted for train rob
berry. Tecumseh is also bad man and
is wanted on several charges ut Fort
Smith.

S OPENED FOR BUSINESS,

In "Black Diamonds"
Excursion OF the Chamber of Oommerce
Yesterday Afternoon = A Lovely
Day and Pleasant Trip for
All Visiting Guests.

Up in Mendocino county there is a
little place called Cuffey's Cove, where
there is gallows frame erected on a
rock, under which vessels drop in to get
their loads of grain, redwood posts and
potatoes. An old chap who lives short
distance from there was seated on his
front porch one night about 8 O'Clock,
when man came along in a wagon
with two boys and drawn by two old,
rickety mules.
''say, boss, is this Cuffey's Cover" he
asked.
at am, that's what it am" said the
man on the porch.
'Well, how far is it from here to the
wharf,"
'The which,"
''No, not the which, the wharf"
"Wal, stranger, hev lived here for
sixteen years, right in this yer cove
and it hsint wharfed any till yet"
If that honest old granger had seen
Santa Monica yesterday he wonld prob
ably have said that it was "the out.
wharfneet place in Ameriky." The
Southern Pacifc's big dock is all done

been laid by Capt. James Fl. Bruce. ma
rine surveyor of the San Francisco
underwriters, and, as he is an old
coaster Of 10 years experience, the job
Is GOOD one. These buoys are
held down with mushroom an
chors," such as are used in mooring
lightships off the bars Of hsrbors where
there is heavy surf. The San Mateo
had out six fasts to the wharf (9-inch
hawsers) and four other heavy spring
lines to the buoys; and thus fastened
she rode the swell like canvass back
duck. The great ropes groaned and
creaked occasionally, but that was all.
The steam tug Coils, belonging to the
Pacific Improvement company, has
been a very active co-efficent in the
building OF this wharf, and her presence
was made perceptible by loud peal of
train. She has already done three
years good service on Puget sound and
the Columbia river.
Across the wharf from where the San
Mateo lay is an enormous bunker with
IL scuttles nearly complete. This will
hold about 1000 tons of coal in each of
its two wings. AT present the ship is
obliged to discharge into fiat cars, and
~ AOOHd ehO Uni GEOGRAPHICALLY Ouoy w hH0
enough of them for her to fill. After the
big bunker is finished, the ships will
discharge into it whether the cars are
there or not. The IL skuttles will en-.
able them to load IL cara at once, and it
will keep two men busy turning down
the coal on each car.
There is no man who can see that
wharf without being satisfied that the
Southern Pacific is now "loaded for
bear" Before the LIST day of February,
1894, steamships from China will be- die
charging cargoes often at the Santa
Monica wharf. The new establishment
is to be called Port Los Angeles, and
everything now looks as If it would soon
become great business harbor. The
wharf is great structure and credit to
the busy brains. who designed and
brought it to perfection.

Cause Of Puffy Oranges.

Following is from the Riverside Press,
whose editor ia about as good authority
on horticultural matters as any man in
California:
The Pomona Times mentions the fact
that there ia in that section, as in all
Others this season, good deal of puffy
fruit. 1t notices that it does not exist
where there has been lack of fertilizer
used, and concludes, as we have, that
excessive and improper fertilizing of or
cbards may be largely the cause of this
trouble. Other writers have expressed
the opinion that excessive irrigation is
factor in the case. 1t is evident that
the excessive use OF heterogeneous fertil-
izers and irregular irrigation are mainly
responsible. The man who let's his
growing oranges lack for water, and
later drenches the soil, will afford the
conditions most likely to produce puffy
fruit, and especially when there has
been extravagant use made OF sheep
manure or other fertilizer of that sort.

THIS MAKES FOUR IN A ROW,
The Angels Nearly Shut Out
the Pirates.
Both Teams Play Almost Model
Game.
The Angels Hit the Ball Little Bit
Harder Than the stocktonians,
and to That Is Due
Their Victory.

This national game of ours has been
played at Athletic park these last two
days in such q manner as filed the
hearts of devoted fans with enthusiasm.
Both yesterday and the day before the
Angels and Pirates put up model exhibit
tions. The pitchers of both teams have
been in excellent form, and the men be-
hind them were full of ginger. Errors
were bound to creep in-what is a ball
without some of them ?-but they only
added spice to the general enjoyment.
Yesterday the pitchers were openers
Jack Roach and Jack Tanning. They
threw the ball over the plate as a gen.
eral thing and made their opponents
shit it out" or have strikes called on
them. Each sent but two men to first
on called balls. Until the seventh inn
ing Tanning had trifle the best of it 80
far as record goes. having only three
hits against him; and had it not been
that two OF these hits came
close together the Angels would not
have scored up to that time. Against
Roach at this time four hits had been
made, and three of them in one inning
but the sharp fielding of the Angels,
notably throw by Kid Nichol from
right field to the plate, kept the Pirates
from reaching the bali players Mecca.
A curious feature of the game yester-
day is the fact that three OF the Angels
five runs we're earned. One came in
the first inning, on a single by Rssty,
double by Sure Pop McOauley, and a
sacrifice by Hutchinson.
Two more earned runs came in the
sixth for the Angels. Lythe, Lehman
and Hughes each touched Professor Fam
ming up for base hit, Lythe scoring
ON the last one. Roach's sacrifice
brought Lohman home.
Errors cropped out in the eighth in
ming rather disastrously for the Pirate.
Hulen hit q sharp bounder to Peoples,
and the ball climbed up over him and
out into left field. McCauley sacrificed
him to second, and he scored on Hut
chinson's hit. An attempt was made to
head the kid off at the plate, but the
effort was unavailing and Hutchinson
stole second. SWEET tried to catch him
but threw too high and Hutchinson
went on to third scoring moment
later on Lytle's sacrifice.
The Pirates tried desperately to score
on numerous and several occasions, and
came very near succeeding long before
the eighth inning. The closest shave
was in the third inning, when three hits
came along in regular order, but all
without tangible result.
In the eighth inning Hughes sur
prised everybody. He fnmbled a drive
off Swett's bat and then threw the ball
into the bleachers. It 30 thoroughly
astonished the rest of the players that
they stood and looked at the place where
the ball disappeared from view and let
SWEET jog along and come under the
wire in walk.
The score follows:

Hawaiian flag, is Britieh built vessel,
having been constructed at Shields, in
England, early in 1883, for the Pacific
Improvement company She is of 5000
gross tons but her lines are so full that
she will carry more than twice as much
coal as the Santa Rosa, which is about
2200 gross tons. The San Mateo carries
no passengers and has no accommodate
tions other than for her crew and officers.
First Officer Fletcher stood at the gang
way and welcomed the guests, while Mr..
Perkins, the second officer, stood on deck
and assisted the ladies from the ladder
to the deck. The ship is differed as fol-

ser. all the work of that officer being
done by the clerks in the Pacific I'm
provement company.
The ship is 3l2 feet length of keel and
l, $40 feet over all, with 4016 feet breadth
of beam. She carried 4450 tons of coal
in less than 25 feet OF water, and steams
about IL knots per hour under ordinary
pressure. She has two large boilers and
carries uniform pressure OF 1850 pounds
OF steam to the square inch. She is
propelled with vertical engine Of the
triple-expansion pattern, Of 80 inches
stroke of piston. The high-pressure
cylinder has diameter OF 20 inches, the
intermediate 3S and the low pressure So
inches. In this way the steam is
worked over three times, thus effecting
agreat saving of fuel. The San Mateo
will burn 2S tons per day, while the
Alameda and the Mariposa Of the
| Spfeckels line consume 48 to 81 tons,
and they are HOO tons smaller ships.
Fhis gives the reader good idea of the
value Of the San Mateo as business
ship.

1.-THE grateful acid Of the rhubarb leaf
arises from the malic acid and binoxa-
late Of potash which it contains the
acidity of the lemon, orange, and other
species of the genus citrus il
caused by the abundance OF citric
acid which their juice contains
that of the cherry, plum, sp-
pie, and pear from the malic acid in
their pulp; that of gooseberries and cur
rants. black, red and white, from mix
ture OF malic and citric acids; that of the
grape from mixture of malic and tar
taric acids; that of the mango from cit
rio acid and very fugitive essential oil /;
that Of the tamarind from mixture of
citric, malic and tartaric acids; the
flavor of asparagus from aspartic acid,
found also in the root of the marshmal-
low and that Of the cucumber from a
peculiar poisonous ingredient called fun
gin, which is found in all fungi, and is
the cause of the cucumber being often
sive to some stomachs.
ut will be observed that rhubarb ia
the only fruit which contains binoxa-
late of potash in conjunction with an
acid. 1t ia this ingredient which rem
ders this fruit 30 wholesome at the early
commencement of the summer, and
this is one of the wise provisions of ma
ture for supplying a blood purifier at a
time when it is likely to be the most
needed. Beetroot owes it nutritious
quality to about 8 per cent of sugar
which it contains, and it's flavor to Pc
culiar substance containing nitrogen
mixed with poetic acid. The carrot owes
it's fattening also to sugar. and its flavor
to pecuIiy fatty oil; the horseradish
derives it's flavor and blistering power
from volatile acrid oil. The Jerusa-
lem artichoke contains 141s per cent of
sugar and per cent of inulin "a variety
of starch), besides gum and peculiar
substance to which its favor is owing
and, lastly, garlic and the rest OF the
onion family derive their peculiar odor
from yellowish, volatile acrid oil, but
they are nutritious from containing
nearly half their weight of gummy and
glutinous substances not yet clearly de-
fined"

AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
John X. McGanis Has a Narrow Escape
From Death.

John X. McManis Has Narrow Escape
From Death
John r. McManis. we'll known citi-
zen, formerly in the carriage bust
ness, had narrow escape last evening
from terrible death. MIR. McManis
was returning on a cable car from East
Los Angeles. He left the car on North
Main street in front Of the old Pico
house. just as he stepped off he> was
caught by the cable car going toward
East Los Angeles, passing north.
Mr.. McManis had not seen the car and
it struck him and he was dragged under
the car. Fortunately the guards kept
his body from passing under and becom-
ing crushed in the grip attachment.
As it was, he was showed along for
several yards. The gripman stopped
the car as soon as possible. Mr.. Me-
Manis was removed to the nearest
drug store and physicians were sum
moned. Coroner Gates, who is the
physicians for the cable road was called
and an examination OF the injured man
showed that his righth hip joint was dis
located. He was also badly bruised and
cut about the body.
Another physician was called in and
the hip joint was placed back in posi-
ton. Later Mr.. McManis was removed
to his home. His many friends will be
glad to learn that his injuries, while
painful, are not Of serious character.

Frank Rogers, an alleged hobo and
drunk roller, was arrested last night by
Detectives Benson and Auble and locked
up. The other day Rogers was in a sa-

robbed drunken man, right in the
saloon, of all the money he had on his
person. The bar-keeper saw him in the
act and ordered him to return the
money.
Rogers at first refused, stating that it
was none of the bar-keekers business.
Then the bar-keeper came out in front
and by force compelled him to return
every cent.
The police were notified OF the robbery
and have been looking for Rogers ever
since, but without success until last
evening. He is said to be tough char
