Joseph Chilberg has prepared a
statement showing the weather statis-
tics for the month of December for
the past II years. From these one
may readily determine what may be
expected for the present months.
The mean or normal temperature
during December for II years is 40.S.
The warmest December was in 1856
when the average temperature was
AS and the coolest was in 1884 when
the average was 33.1. The highest
temperature was 81 on December 3,
1885. and the lowest was s On Decem-
90, 1879 and December 80, 1884.
AS for rainfall, the average for the
month in II years past is 9.48 inches.
The greatest precipitation was in
1880, when the rainfall for the month
averaged 1854. The greatest rainfall
in any "a hours was 3.67 inches in '92.
The average number of clear days
during December, foI the period of IL
years, is 2.41; partially cloudy, S.14
and cloudy. 20.1S. The prevailing

excelled in engineering, agriculture,
mining, weaving, and about every
other art of civilization was trepan-

Gus that recovery follows only about a
fourth of the modern operations. The
great Muniz collection, temporarily in
the custody of the Bureau of Ameri-
can Ethnology, contains about 1000
specimens of prehistoric Peruvian
skulls, of which 19 are trepanned, and
eight give indications OF subsequent
recovery. A young female seems to
have survived a series of operations
resulting in an aperture in the skull 4
inches long and an inch wide, which
was covered by a silver plate.
A new substance having the remark
able and unique property of solidify-
ing when heated and remaining liquid
at temperatures below zero has been
reported by German chemist. 1t
has been named cryostase, and is OBJ
tanned by mixing together equal parts
OF phenol, camphor and saponine, and
adding somewhat smaller proper

tain substances, like the albumens,
harden on heating, but this is the
only product that again liquefies on
cooling.
The novel safety boiler of NJ Chate-
mel, French engineer, consists OF a
nest of horizontal tubes placed over
the furnace. Water is injected into
this nest as spray-never in bulk
and is instantaneously evaporated and
superheated. The steam producing
power is remarkable, and the tubes, it
is claimed, do not burn out.

SHAMEFUL EXHIBITION.

One of the public school teachers of San
Francisco, woman, has been picked up
in the streets by the police uproarously
and fighting drunk. She made a scene
and it required the services and strength
of five men to carry her bulky and
whisky soaked form to prison.
This Dolan woman, by her exhibition,
has brought shame upon the whole COM
mon school organization of the State.
The enemies of the system will herald
her downfall far and wide; it will be ex-
aggerated and adorned with untruth and
garnished with fanciful additions as the
story runs until it will appear in the
distant press that San Francisco "school
marmsu are accustomed to go out on
Friday nights and indulge in sprees
which last them until Monday morning;
that whisky bottles are kept in the
school desks, and that the teachers lunch
room is fitted up with a bar. We may
expect to see it added that this thing is
so common that it has ceased to shock
the public or evoke protest.

PIo PICo's DEATH.

The death of the last of the old Mexican
Governors of California, Don Pho Pico, is
significant only of the rapid passing
away of the old Spanish and Mexican
element of California-the real pioneers.
For Governor Pico was very old man,
and his death came in the natural order,
with the expectancy of it in full view for
a number of years past.
Governor Pico was fairly representa-
tive man of his class and of the period of
his youth. He, like the most of his COL
leagues. was improvident, utterly reck-
less in the matter of expenditure. A
true idea of saving never entered the
head Of the average pioneer Mexican or
Spaniard in California. They nearly all
lived for their present and trusted to luck
for their future. AS a rule, generous to a
fault and hospitable to degree of waste
fulness, they placed no true value upon
property or its use in the entertainment
of others or the qualification of their own
desires. They lived up to their incomes
and beyond them, and were content to
meet the excess of demand by selling a
few acres or disposing of few thousand
head of stock to tide them over until the
next necessity demanded further sacri-
fee. So their one time vast estates grew
gradually less, and rapidly so when the
specializing American entered the coun-
try and began to dicker with these i'm
provident and careless people, who lived
regardless of the future and not disturb bed
as to the present.
Governor Pico was at one time man Of
enormous wealth, mainly in lands and
stock, but they melted away from his
grasp as easily as his own big -heartedness
went out TO meet every demand upon his
sympathy or hospitality. They did not
live fast, these early Californians. as we
understand rapidity of habit; but they
lived carelessly as to cost, wastefully as
to margins and shamefully in the lavish
use of the means of income.
Pho Pico as Governor of California was
not at all remarkable as an Executive.
In office he was, as in private life, ineffi-
cient in economics. Had he been absolute
and lifetime in place, the country over
which he presided would have been pau
perized, as he was personally. As rep
resentative of the pastoral era in Califor-
mia history. Governor Pico was very
interesting feature in the personality OF
the State, for there were few, perhaps
none, who like him could point to their
years of life as covering the whole GEN.
tury to date. The old man maintained to
the last a very considerable degree OF Dig
nifty, and gave every evidence of having
come of an excellent line, into which had
been bred correct ideas of gentility, as
we'll as very extravagant ideas of hospi-
tality. That Governor Pico refused to be
made show of at the Worlds Fair will
stand to the credit of his memory. 1t
proved him to have retained the sensi-
tiveness Of the gentleman to the last.
