FOR BETTER DRIVEWAYs
Temporary Organization Effected at
Meeting at the Baldwin
Hotel.

The subject of improved driveways was
discussed at meeting of liverymen, car
rlage-owners and others held at the Bald
win Hotel last night. The result of the
disc ussion was the formation of a tempo
rary organization with G. s. Crittenden as
chairman and Joseph Magner as secretary.
A committee on permanent organization
was appointed by the chair as follows ::
John McCord, John Murphy, J. Hirsch, J..
O'Kane, c.. G. Bemis.
The committee will report to the next
meeting on Wednesday night.
The matter under discussion last night
and which will receive the first official at
tention of the new organization is the
building of a new driveway to the ocean
and Park, contemplated in the following
suggestions presented in the call for
last nights meeting:
A suitable road from the Golden Gate Park to
the Almshouse road.
The extension of the boulevard along the
beach to meet the Ocean House road.
The widening and improving of the roadway
to the new Cliff House, so as to accommodate
traffic.
Also, TO make such general improvements
from time to time as shall meet the best inter
ests of the public.
Richard Freud, secretary of the Mer-
chants Association was present and adj
dressed the meeting, stating that Presi-
dent Dohrmann could not be there. He of.
tered the hearty cooperation of the Mer-
chants Association and congratulated the
members OF the meeting upon the effort
being made.
Colonel Little spoke of the necessary re-
duction Of the grade of Seventh avenue and
encouraged the new association.

the five-foot discharges mentioned the cur
rent was transformed into about 200, 900
volts. So in cleaning a few cubic miles of
air the requisite would not be tremendous
quantity OF electricity, but alternating cur
rents developed by transformers into great
intensity.
But, then, the whole question of how to
do this thing with electricity would be like
those of the recent past, now solved or
steadily being solved with much expert
ment-how to produce light, how to pro-
duce economic power, how to transmit
power, and SO on. Artificial lighting is yet
laboratory experiment. The thing Eof
present interest Is the possibility.
Any one can now see how easy the
thing would be-that is, after it was found
out just how to do it. It's only question
OF machines, distances, potentialities, dol
lars and such things.
OF course, it wouldn't do much good to
clear the air of San Francisco in the way
described when big fog bank was rolling
in all the time from the sea. The air
would be cleaned nicely but to keep the
City clear of fog the supply would have to
be headed off. That would have to be
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-30

done by setting up a long battery of
lightning discharges down the coast from
the Cliff House to the San Bruno hills and
across the Golden Gate. Against this
battery the incoming fog bank would dis
appear like an icicle going into furnace.
The City would then say to the fog, Thus
far and no farther and smile securely at
the oceans dismal exhalations. With a
series of lightning flashes constantly kept
up along the line of breakers through
evening, night and morning, the down
town purifiers would have to care only for
the dirt in the air and any vapory haze
that might creep through the lines and
spread.
That this idea is not the scheme of a
crazy inventor, but one that has newly
appeared on the horizon as man has adj
vanced into the great unknown, is further
evidenced by the fact that Professor Lodge,
a scientist of worldwide reputation, not
long ago proposed before a scientific body
the dissipation of the dangerous fogs of
the Straits of Belle Isle by such a method.
However fanciful the idea may appear
when applied right here at home, the pos
sibility of such control OF the conditions
OF nature by man is exceedingly interest
ing, as is the natural further question,

SAN FRANCISCO MAY RID ITSELF OF FOES.

about the flashes of artificial lightning
would be similar 10 that of the thunder
storm and the discharges in the cellar and
the lar. The sensible vapor would be dis
sipated and the impurities driven from the
air. Two or three flashes and as many
seconds would do the work.
It's going entirely too far and asking too
much to inquire right off how thickly
these electrical discharges would have TO
be arranged through the City, how much
current it would take, what it would cost,
and so on. 1t isn't even known how
widely the effect Of discharge of a given
power would be felt through the open air.
Likely there would have to be a lot of
ready-made lightning fired off from high
towers and other high places to get at the
air far enough above the ground, though
the fog doesn't roll very high.
When the question of how practically to
do what may be demonstrated to be posi-
Bile hobs up there arises host Of new me-
chanical and other problems. For in
stance. these discharges of electricity from
point to point, as in Leyden jars and
otherwise have never been put to any
practical use, and there has been no effort
TO do so. In the course of scientific ex-
pertinent Tesla and one of the Westing-
house experts produced flashes five feet
long. Lodge in his experimental cellar
cleaning made the electricity Jump four
feet. In natures dynamics it jumps from
cloud to cloud, from cloud to earth and
from earth to cloud. When man has any
important use for big electrical discharges
he may improve the size.
1t is not the ordinary current in the form
in which it is used for light and power
that is used for artificial lightning. The
current is first transformed into a nigh po-
tential. 1t is not quantity but intensity
that is needed, and a current small IN vol
ume may be given high intensity. In

LECTURE BY DR., T. F. DAY,
Auspicious Opening of the Pres
bytery Church Exten-
sion Course.
Poetry, History, Philosophy, Oratory
and PropheSies of the Old
Testament.

The theological extension course opened
auspiciously at Calvary Presbyterian
Church last evening. DIR. Thomas T. Day
was the speaker and his theme "Old Tesla
ment Literature" The fact that scarcely
seat in the church parlors was vacant
augured the success of the course.
DR.. Day said: 1.-THE Bible is not book,
but library of books, inspired through
many ages.
1.-THE Hebrew race has some marked
characteristics that are reflected in Old
Testament literature. These are intuition,
the quick glance that needs no help from
logic, and a highly developed emotional
nature.
The land in which they dwelt, Pales-
tine, with its range from subtropical to
subalpine china tie, also had its influence
upon the Scriptures. Without such a land
the Bible would have been impossible.
The Jewish semi-nomadic habits brought
them into contact with people of every
cline, hence the Bible is cosmopolitan
book.
1.-THE history contained in the Old Tes-
lament is wonderfully varied. It's parallels
are prose epics. The self-restraint shown
by the narrators, in contrast with the pro-
lix style of Oriental books, shows the
divinity of its origin. The Old Testament
is not, as been claimed, series of biogra-
phies of men, but an autobiography of
God.
at is pity that in our academic groves
Isaiah must give way to Plato, that He
brew classics do not have a place in the
college curriculum side by side with the
Roman and Greek"
Judah's speech to Joseph was cited as
| an example of splendid oratory and the
book of Deuteronomy was said to be full Of
the orations of Moses.
In conclusion DIR. Day said the Old and
New Testaments were as indivisible as the
body and soul. and that the times and peo-
pie who would be indifferent to the Old
would turn aside from the New.

SCHOOL PASSES.

The Electric Railway Company's De-
murrer to Hale Bros Complaint.
The defendant in the suit of Hale
Bros. u Co. against the Central Elec-
trio Railway Company, an action where
by the plaintiffs seek to recover $1,000
damages for alleged discrimination on the
part of the railway company for refusing
to sell to the plaintiff certain car fares,
has filed his demurrer to the complaint
through his attorney, l.. L. Hatfield.
The demurrer alleges that the court has
no jurisdiction of the person or entity of
the defendant, or the subject of the ac-
ton; that plaintiffs have not legal capacity
to sue, in that such action can only be
prosecuted in the name of the people of
the State at the relation of party in in
terest; that 1t does not appear from the
complaint that plaintiffs could not obtain
all the tickets they needed for the use OF
the mem berS Of the firm and others; that
the complaint is ambiguous and unintel-
llglbIe, IN that it appears therefrom that
parties other than plaintiffs ana defend
ant have contract relations with defend
ant relative to the issue, sale and use OF
tickets or checks at reduced rates, and it
does not appear from the complaint who
such other parties are, nor that the de-
fendant and such other party, if any,
have not right to provide for reduced
rate Of fare.
The plaintiffs also petitioned for writ
OF mandate to compel the railway COM
pauy TO sell them the reduced fares
When the case was called yesterday the
matter was ordered continued one week.
