1t was stated in the 'Italia" last night
on what was said to be thoroughly reliable
information, that Cesare Poma. the italian
ViceConsul in San Francisco, is shortly to
leave this City.
Signor Poma has been strongly recon-
mended to the Italian Minister for Foreign
Affairs for promotion, and he will go to
Valparaiso, Chile, to manage the consul
ate there. The departing Vice Consul is very
popular, not only in the Italian colony,
but also in American society circles in
this City, where his courtesy and good
fellowship made him a general favorite.
He is warm admirer of art and the
drama. and his face is very familiar to San
francisco theater-goers.
His present position has not given Signor
Poma scope to put his official capabilities
into play here, although the colony has
always regarded him as q jealous and will
ing functionary. After the departure of
Consul Branchi Cesare Poma filled the
duties of Italian Consul here for some
months, to the complete satisfaction OF
every one concerned.

An Improvement is now under way in
South San Francisco which promises to
transform Railroad avenue into possible
thoroughfare in the rainy season as well
as the dry. 1t is the completion of the
drainage system.
Heretofore there has been great deal of
inconvenience caused to travellers over this
street in wet weather by reason of the
water and mud. The rain caused torrents
of water to carry large amounts of mud
down on to the paved and macadamized
roadway, frequently overlooking the gut
tiers and rendering the crossings and side
walks well nigh impossible.
complete sewer main runs along Rail-
road avenue and Kentucky street for their
full length, but there have been no man
holes. Pipes for these are now being
strung along Railroad avenue and are to
be put in at once.
The Market-street Railroad Company is
gradually preparing the way at the old
Bay View racetrack for pleasure ground
OF some kind. The old woolen-mill, which
had been used for some time as a milk
house and stable, is being torn down, and
all the other buildings and sheds are being
etfaced. Just what the company intends
to do with the grounds has not yet been
determined, saws Superintendent Vining,
but there are between fifty and sixty acres
there which 1t can put to account to attract
travel on the Kentucky-street and Railroad
avenue line.

Macdonald as father. After long and
sensational trial, Judge Coffey decided
that the boy belonged to Macdonald, and
that he was the lawful heir to the estate,
which, at the time litigation closed, had
dwindled down to about $25, 000
Since that time and up to February of
this year young Macdonald has received a
monthly allowance under the guardianship
OF Mr.. Madison of Madison, Burke & Co..
Upon the latter date Macdonald attained
his majority, and since that time he has
been allowed $125 per month.
An effort was made at this time to have
the young man declared incompetent and
another guardian appointed to manage his
estate, but Judge Coffey did not take kindly
to the proposition and was not satisfied
with Macdonalds agreement to have the
money deposited in a bank subject to the
order of the court.
Out of his allowance Macdonald has

The Inventor of Gas1ipbt.

Philippe Lebon, born May %, 176S,
French chemist and engineer of roads and
bridges, is said to have been the inventor
OF gasilght, having produced gas for illum-
mating purposes derived from wood He
labored hard and long to perfect his in
vention. made his discovery known in 1899
and 1t was patented September 81 the same
year About year afterward he published
the result of his researches and expert
ments. Lebon began by distilling wood to
obtain from it gas, oil, pitch and pyroiig-
neous acid, but his work indicated the
possibility of obtaining gas by distillation
from fatty substances. From the taking
out OF his patent to 1902 he made
many experiments. His first thermo
lamps We're established at Havre; but the
gas which he obtained, being a mixture of
oxide of carbon and carburetted hydrogen
not perfectly purified, gave only a poor
light and evolved disagreeable odor, so
that his discovery found little favor, and
he was ruined by his experiments. He
died December 2, 1904 The ideas of Lebon
were soon put into practice in England.
Albrecht f. Winsor, a German inventor,
claimed the credit of having invented the
process of lighting by gas about 1903,
which was introduced at the Lyceum
Theater. In 1906 many shops in Birming-
ham were illuminated with gas made by
the process of Winsor and Murdoch

Douglas JerroId and Leigh Hunt.

Douglas Jerrold's soul seemed to abhor
every trace of study slovenliness. A cozy
room was his in his home at West Lodge,
Lower Putney Common, and his sons pen
has given the world welcome peep at the
interior: THE furniture is simple solid
oak. The desk has not speck upon it.
The marble shell upon which the inkstand
rests has no litter in it. Various notes lie
in row between clips on the table. The
paper-basket stands near the armchair,
prepared for answered letters and rejected
contributions. The little dog follows his
master into his study and lies at his feet"
And there were no books maltreated in
Douglas Jerrolds study It gave him pain
to see them in any way misused. Long
fellow had the same sympathies with neat
ness and exactitude. Method in all things
was his rule. He did not care to evolve
fine thoughts and poetic images at a desk
