ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY srARs7
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird NIIrrntInn.

An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds Of Passage"
the Chautauquan says II one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
Of bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer, he will have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, knowledge OF the unfailing
stars. The Great Bear and Orion APP
peared at the same time in our region,
even when the divisions Of land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
Of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mists. On starlight nights stray
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky Is overcast, when the night Is
dark, but especially when fine rain is
falling, multIttdes Of travelling birds
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose Of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers Of
them bound against the windows Of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. 2S, 1882. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowfiakes
against the lighthouse Of Heligoland,
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Heligoland. Toward the end Of the
summer, along into the fall, 1t was not
a rare occurrence on dark nights to
see, through the light Of street lamps,
birds flying over inland cities The ex-
perienced observer recognizes by its call
the curlew and the strand-snipe, sea-
swallow and seagull, occasionally hears
even the flap Of their wings. But no
bird Is visible In the darkness. On dark
nights no stars appear; then 1t is that
the straying bird loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds in their migrations. But only the
future can tell us whether they really
serve in that capacity.

"A Bold Robbery.


Mast Sunday night two bold robberies were
committed in this city with astonishingly petty
results. A trunk at the Southern depot that
had been left on the platform after No. 8, west
bound passenger train, passed at 11:25 p. M,
was broken open and pair of child's shoes
and child's dress taken therefrom. The other
robbery was committed at J. N. Brown store.
on Main ana Spring streets. A small railroad
velocipede wheel was used as battering ram
in breaking q large plate glass window and was
left in the breach. Only two pairs of trousers
have been missed by Mr.. Brown. It is evident
that the robbers must have become frightened
before they entered the store. There are nc
clues to the guilty parties.

NO GIRLS IN THE PARTY
w. r. Judson'S "reminiscences
a of a Lurid Expedition
to the East.
What the Defendant Says About
Charles HilPS Suit and
His Intentions.

When Ed Hardin of Nevada went East
in 1891 to engage quarters in Denver tor the
Knights Templar w. r. Judson went with
him. How they left a red trail across the
continent and impaired lurid glow to the
sky above them has been graphically told
in THE CALL. The records of the trip got
into the courts and then into the press.
Ed Hardin is now in Nevada looking
after his own Congressional prospects and
his father s cattle-ranch. The halcyon days
of prosperity have passed for the present
and like other silver men Hardin wants to
remonetize. Mr.. Judson is here in San
Francisco bearing the brunt of litigation
growing out of the lurid expedition to
Denver and Chicago.
AS the defendant in the suit now pend
ing in the Justices Court Mr.. Judson said
in an interview yesterday:
I'm regard to this Hill suit all / have to
say is that it has been made into good
story, and will be quite amusing to my
friends who read it. The illusions to girls
are false. There were none whatever in

Club and others requested OF Miss Margaret
Touchard, manager of the Woman's Ex-
change, that she undertake the arrange
ment of banquet to be entirely of Cali
fornia products. The lady went to work
and is now well on the road to success, so
far as supplying the gathering of Califor-
MIA products for the banquet is concerned.
She decided that the event shall be held
in the California Hotel on the evening of
September 81.
Last evening Miss Touchard requested
the Endorsement of her undertaking by
the Manufacturers and Producers Asso-
citation. The secretary and chairman
stated that the movement is entirely in the
line of the objects of the association, which
should foster all moveme nts that encourage
the consumption of California products.
The lady's request was granted.
The California Dairy Association sent a
letter requesting that representative of the
Manufacturers and Producers Association
be sent to the dairymen's annual conven-
ton. which will be held in San Francisco

ing our home market from Eastern i'm
ports of dairy products. The chairman
was authorized to appoint committee to
represent the association at the convention.

OF A SAINT.
The Seven Hundredth Ami
versary of St. Anthony Is
Celebrated.
Thousands Of Worshipers Partici-
pated in the Devotions at st.
Boniface's.

The celebration of the seven hundredth
anniversary of the birth of st. Anthony
closed last night in St. Boniface Church on
Golden Gate avenue after three days of
special devotion and solemn services.
AS this saint was Franciscan his feast
day once year has for centuries been OBJ
served with pious customs in the churches
of that order. The German Catholic
Church of st. Boniface being under the
care of Franciscan fathers the anniversary
of Anthony of Padua was commemorated
with more than ordinary fervor. One
hundred years ago in California it was
remembered by the Franciscan padres of
the missions with much the same ceremo-
malls and devotions.
Though the feast fell on August Is it's
celebration was postponed on account of
mission in the church at that time. Sum-
day morning at o'clock the ceremony
began with a high mass. The affairs were
beautifully decorated and everything was
done to mark the solemnity of the event.
In the evening solemn vespers were sung,
and, besides special devotion to the saint,
there was benediction of the blessed sacra-
ment and procession round the church.
During the day thousands visited the
church in honor of the saint.
On Monday and Tuesday similar services
were held and at each one was congrega-
ton that crowded the building to the
doors. Sermons were delivered on St. An
thony morning and evening closing last
night with a discourse by Father Maxi
milan, superior of the order in California,
on the faith, hope and charity of the
saint. The evening services concluded
with benediction aud a procession in
which large number of little girls all
dressed in white participated. So large
was the attendance that many people una
BILE to gain admittance were compelled to
return home.
There are not many saints in the Cath
olic church who have enjoyed such gen.
eral veneration of the people as st. An
thony of Padua. He was born in Lisbon,
August Is, 1195, thirteen years after the
birth of st. Francis of Assist. He entered
the Augustinian order, but left it to join
the Franciscans in 1921. St. Anthony is
renowned as preacher of the Gospel. He
travelled over Southern Europe. Many
miracles are ascribed to him during his
career as preacher and monk.
Padua was the principal seat of his
labors, and it was there that he died, June
Is, 1881, at the age of SO years. He was
canonized the following year by Pope
Gregory TX

MUST. FIX THE SEWERS,
Richmond District Overhauled
by the Board of
Health.
PROMPT ACTION Is CALLED FOR.
The Sewer Of the Public School
Found In Dreadful Condition.
Notices Served.

The members of the Board of Health
met yesterday to express strong protest
against the condition of the sewers in the
Richmond District. Their attention was
called to the matter last week by several
improvement clubs organized in that local
ity Monday they went out to examine the
district to see if it was as bad al had been
represented in the petitions. They found
several places so unhealthy and foul that
they resolved to call special meeting next
day and take immediate action to correct
the evils.
When the members met yesterday they
knew exactly what was wanted and went
straight to the meat OF the business.
The first step was to relieve the Rich
mond District public school. There are
over 800 pupils there and their health is
daily threatened by the dreadful condition
short discussion Secretary Edward God
chaux was ordered to draft the following
letter to the Board of Education:
At a special meeting of the Board of Health
held this day the secretary was Instructed to
communicate to you the desire OF the members
of our board to meet committee OF your non
orable body to devise ways and means to abate
a very grave and dangerous nuisance In the
Richmond schoolhouse on First avenue, north
of Point Lobos road.
/ trust you will honor me with prompt ana
favorable reply.
The Board of Education meets this even
ing, and it is expected that committee
will be appointed to cooperate with the
Board of Health in removing the existing
evil as soon as possible.
The Fifth-avenue sewer complained of
by the Richmond Improvement Club was
found worse than represented. AT its
meeting the board called in several depu-
ties attached to the. Street Department
with a view of finding out the quickest
and best way of fixing up the sewer.
After hearing several opinions the board
sent the following notification to Superin-
tendent of Streets Ashworth.
At meeting of the Board of Health held
this day the secretary was instructed to notify
the superintendent of Streets of the nuisance
Clement street, Richmond District, caused by
defective sewerage. Before declaring the
| same public nuisance the board desires your
immediate investigation and report thereon.
Kindly inform me when you are ready to in
terview the Board of Health in relation to the
same.
The members believe that by early next
week the work will be we'll under way to
relieve the Richmond District of its pres
ent distress in sewers.
1t is the intention of the board not to
rest here, but to thoroughly investigate all
cases of reported defective sewers and to
have them promptly repaired. In the
present case the board would have con-
demned the places at once, but in that
event the cost would have fallen on the
property-owners By notifying the proper
officials. as has been done, it will take a
little longer to get the repairs done, but
the cost will fall on the City.

MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION.
It's Position. Upon the Question of
Marble Ferry Depot.

It's Position. Upon the Question of a
Marble Ferry Depot.
A short meeting of the board of directors
of the Manufacturers and Producers
Association was held last evening and
Secretary Mead made a report relating to
the proposition to construct the new ferry
depot of marble. John c. Pelton sent a
letter to the association, urging its indorse-
ment of building the face of the depot of
marble. To this number of members
objected upon the ground that they are
dealers in brick, stone and iron, and
wanted a chance to dispose of some of
their goods and make bids for some of the
contracts. In his report Mr.. Mead says:
To present this matter to the Board of Harbor
Commissioners now would be in the nature of
urging one California product against another,
a step which, of course, this association can
not take If the Board of Harbor Commission
ers should decide to construct said ferry depot
of marble it will then become the duty OF our
association to insist upon the use of California
marble exclusively. In the meantime would
not feel justified On behalf OF this association,
in saying anything or taxing any action
toward inducing the Board OF Harbor Com
missioners to erect said building of any par
ticular material, or according TO any partcu-
lar method or design.
The secretary report was approved.

business men connected with the State
Board of Trade, San Francisco Fruit Ex-
change, Academy OF Sciences, Half-million
