NEW vsNTILATlNa DEVICE.
An Inventor Claims 1t VIII Purify the Air
In the Foulcst Room.

Disease germs, which the insanitary
conditions of buildings foster and null
tiply by countless millions, need no lon
ger be feared If the claims of a Chicago
inventor prove true. The invention is
patented and is described as q simple
device for removing foul air and gases
from houses, easements, mines or the
holds of vessels, which the inventor a
will revolutionize tho sanitary and ven-
t~ilating systems Of the world. The ad-
mirable features of the device are its
simplicity and the absolute inexpensive
ness Of its operation. Applied to a base
ment or a house there is no need Of an
exhaust fan to be operated by steam or
electric power. BY utilizing nNtnral
laws tins device Is self acting Gay and
night ia all ss;.solis Of the yoar.
"1n.1e device, 81 far as 1t pertains to
the method" says the inventor, de
ponds upon a novel application of a
natural law which, SO far as | anu
aware, has never been utilized practical
" before. This natural law is that
fluids, when not under pressure or 9TH
erwise impelled, move from the locality
of a higher to that of a lower tempera-
ture, or, stated more briefly, that air or
any other free fluid will move from one
point to another when there is a varia-
tion of temperature at the two points.
That is observed in the natural phenom-
ena of windstorIns or cyclones. The diff
ference in temperature between the
sunny side of a house and the shady
side will produce IN air current suf-
flcient to operate my appliance and rid
the entire house Of all impure air and
foul gases without the aid Of any mo-
ohanioal power. Thus, you see, after
the first cost of putting In the v~entila-
ton, which is very small, there is alb
s~olutely no further cost for operation.
az am particularly anxious to have
my apparatus tested in the public
schools. So confident am I that 1t will
purify the air in the foulest room with
out exposing the children to a draft that
/ am willing TO put it in one or two Of
the worst ventilated schoolrooms at my
own expense. simply to prove it's eff
fcacy. | can put it into the foulest tene-
ment house in the city, and the sicken-
ing odors will be removed in a few min
utes, leaving the air pure and sweet.
Even the odors from garlic and onions
will be carried out Of the kitchen where
they are cooking. OF course these claims
seem preposterous, but l have tested
the apparatus thoroughly at my own
house."

The Pin Was Fnnnd.

At an entertainment in Dublin a thought
reader boasted that he could find a marked
pin hidden by one of the audience. The
pin was hidden by a Trinity student in an
adjoining room in the presence of the
committee, among whom was a confed-
crate. The student, suspecting the man
from his looks, slyly took away the pin
from its hiding place. On his return to the
platform the thought-reader gazed into
the hider's face and, putting his hand to
his brow, was blindfolded and led the
student to the hiding place, but of course
could find no pin. He returned, acknowl-
edged his defeat and looked daggers at his
confederate. Now, gentlemen" said the
student, 'I'll undertake to say that if this
diviner of the human mind will do as I
tell him half the audience, without sim
gle hint, will know where the pin is" and
turning to the thought-reader he said,
"Sit down." He did so. There was yell
and jumping up the thought-reader hastily
pulled from his coattails the marked

FOOT BALLERS PRACTICE,
Berkeley Boys Have Another
Contest With Olympic
Players.
Several Burglaries Committed in Diff.
ferent Parts of the Town-A
Society Circus.

BERKELEY, Nov. 13.-The university
football players went over to Central Park,
in San Francisco, again this afternoon for
the purpose of playing second practice
game with the Olympics. Though they
were not successful yesterday in scoring
against the Olympians, yet the hoys say
that the game was to them very beneficial,
since they learned much of the methods
and general system of players who have
been trained under other tutelage. The
practice of meeting with men on other
teams will surely rebound to their ultimate
good, they say, since by continued playing
against men in their own college and with
whose style of work they soon become
familiar. there is a tendency to fall into
single channel and remain there, while
occasional work against strange eleven
livens up the dormant faculties and puts
new life into their system.
Freshmen Have a Kick

faction among the freshmen at the uni

when they are TO be charged 81 for it.
They also say that the department of phys-
cal culture should furnish them, or at
least part Of the necessary number.
Some claim that more than one student
could use the same strap, but the physical
instructor demands that each person
snould nave his own from sanitary reasons

NOW WEARS A RED SHIRT
AN Auburn Gold Mine Owner Be-
comes a Genuine Saliva
Zionist.

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN Francisco CALI
9OS broadway, Nov. 13.
James Smith of Auburn, one of the pio-
neer mining men of this State, came to
oakland few weeks ago on business
trip IN connection with new gold-saving
process he has invented. When he re-
turns to Gold Blossom mine, near Auburn,
OF which he is the owner, he will be wear
ing the uniform OF the Salvation Army.
When this news was received at Auburn
no little surprise was expressed by every
one, for the recently converted man was
not person that had interested himself in
religious matters during his residence in
California.
Mr.. Smith lives with his wife at Auburn.
Where he is one of the prominent citizens
and the principal owner of large golo
mine near the town, called the "Gold
Blossom
In speaking of joining the Salvation
Army, Mr.. Smith said: 81 was educated in
st. Louis to be a minister in the Universal
lst faith, which after studying did not cor
respond with my idea of true religion.
Then spent several years in investigating
the doctrines of one hundred and fifty
churches and church disciplines without
hndlng any one that was exactly carving
out the doctrines taught by our Master /
then gave up, considering the Methodist
the nearest right, but did not unite with
the church. l came to California during
the gold fever, and my associations were
not where there was much religious influ-
ence until of late years, and l am afraid |
had lost interest in measure in spiritual
matters.
My wife is good Christian, and it was
her desire to make Methodist of me. and
l hope she will not be disappointed when
write her that l have become Saliva
zionist.
There is one thing sure, if ever make a
big haul in my mines the Salvation Army
will come in for a liberal share to help
further its good work"

Minister Of the Old Republic to
the United States
Arrives.
The Diplomat Will Be Invited to Meet
His Countrymen Next
Saturday.

j. B. Pioda, SwitzerIands Minister to
the United States, arrived here from
Washington yesterday. He registered at
the Palace Hotel, but later in the day left
for Halfmoon Bay on visit to his cousin,
G. Fanciola. He will remain there until
Saturday, when he returns to this City to
attend reception to be given in his honor
by his countrymen resident in this City.
Minister Pioda's trip is partly for pleas
ure, but mainly for the purpose of visiting
the consulates of Switzerland and localities
where large numbers of his countrymen are
settled. He is making tour of the whole
country. From here he will go to the
Northwest and from there back to his post
in Washington.
His coming here has been heralded for
some time and has been looked forward to
with considerable interest by the members
of the Swiss colony, who number in this
City about 1000. Preparations have been
for some time under way to give him q
fitting reception, in which all the Swiss
societies will take part. 1t will take place
next Saturday evening at National Hall,
SIS Ellis street. Elaborate arrangements
have been made by the committee in
charge. 1t is proposed to have a banquet,
followed by ball.
The committee in charge OF the affair is
composed of Consul Antoine Borel, A. A.
DoIIinl y. DdCHmdL, DT a L. hOIldnZl,
NJ. de Blaney and Alfred Manotti
Minister Pioda is a man OF learning and
ability, and comes from family whose
members have figured quite prominently
in the politics of the little republic.
Although but 45 years of age, he has
filled many responsible positions. Before
his appointment last year to the position
he now holds, he was counsel to the Swiss
legation at Rome. The degree of LID.
was conferred upon him by one of the
languages at the University of California,
was kinsman of the Minister.
Minister Pioda will visit the Swiss
colonies in this neighborhood while here,
and in about ten days will proceed north.
The Swiss flag was flying over the Palace
Hotel, the consulate and many Swiss
houses yesterday in honor of his arrival.

Sophomore Hop.
The sophomores will give their hop in
the gymnasium next Friday evening. pro-
viding that the freshmen do not break
it up. The '99 men are not on the hest of
terms with the sophomores, since they
believe that the tricksters who telegraphed
TO the musicians not to come over on the
night of their glee three weeks ago were
'9S men. In consequence of this rumors
have been afloat for the past few days
that the freshmen propose to get even
with the sophs, but the '98 men declare
that they will hold their hop in spite of
the freshies. The attendance will be linn
tied to 400 as heretofore the hall has been
so crowded that it was impossible to
dance with any degree Of pleasure.
Sophomore Society Circus.
Some of the more energetic and athleti-
calIy inclined members Of the sophomore
class are planning to give what they call a
society circus for the purpose of raising
money to pay off the class debt.
Henry Dixey Will Lecture.
Through the solicitation of Professor
William D. Armes of the English depart
ment at the university, Henry E. Dixey.
the comedian, will lecture at Stiles Hall
Friday afternoon at 3:45. The topic upon
which the celebrated actor will speak is
''The Art of the Comedian" The pro-
ceeds of the lecture are to be turned over
to the Students Aid Society," an organiza-
tion through the agency of which Berkeley
students of limited means are assisted in
securing employment.
Still More Burg1aries.
About II o'clock last night Mrs. Lamb
who lives on Fulton street, was awakened
by a noise at the front door, and Fastening
to her window saw two men attempting to
pick the lock. She at once called for help.
as her husband was not at home, and J.
Henderson, who lives on the opposite side
of the street, hearing her screams, opened
a window and discharged his pistol in the
air to scare off the burglars Upon going
to the house Of Mrs. Lamb he found that
the two miscreants had disappeared in the
darkness.
This makes the fourth burglary, or at
tempt at burglary, recorded within the
last two weeks. The local authorities seem
unable to capture the thieves.
Faculty Ladies' Tea.
The ladies of the faculty gave the first of
a series of afternoon teas for this term at
Stiles Hall this afternoon. The prime
object of these gatherings is that the stu
dents might have an opportunity of be-
coming acquainted with each other and
with the faculty members and their
families

POLICE AS MARKSMEN,
Remarkable Improvement Being
Made in Their Scores at
the Range.
Interesting Figures Showing the Totals
Made by the Different Ser.
geantS' Squads.

At all hours of the day and till late at
night the crack of pistol can be heard in
the Larkin-street basement of the City
Hall, where the range for the use of the
Police Department is situated.
Men devote their spare time to practic-
ing aud the results have been remarkable.
AS an illustration, the progress made by
the men IN Captain Wittmans district
may be OF interest to the public.
Each sergeant has squad of twenty
four men: and since the range was estab-
lished in the beginning of last month each
squad has fired five times. Following is
the result:
Sergeant Birdsall and squad, 292. 361, 375,
4oS, 496; total, 1882, or an average of n 7-25
Sergeant Nash and squad, $50, 81. 37s, 433,

Sergeant Monaghan and squad, 334, 322,
30S, 430, AL; stotal, 1885, or an average OF
73 2-5 per man.
The total of the first shots of the eight
squads was 2547 and the total of the last
was 1898. a difference of 1046 or gain of
5 1920 for each of the 200 men, which is
remarkably good. The average per man
in the first shots is about 123s and in the
last Is.

There is keen competition among the
men individually and some of them can
make the possible 30 every time. Others
who at first made or are now making %

The date for the match between ten men
from Captain Wit:man's district and ten
men from the Oakland force has not vet
been fixed, but it will probably be in the
beginning of next week.

chimes. The Blade is the weekly owned
and written by Stewart McMullen, who is
sometimes called "Davie's lieutenant"
The Blade is conducted after the style of
Arthur McEwen's Letter, and is very
caustic in style, being intended to cut the
mask off much that is at present being done
in politics. As McMullen is on the ''in-
side, his paper is very breezy.
Next week, notice has been given, the
Recorder will appear 1t is to be a morn
ing daily, and it is said will be the joint
property of ex-Postmaster Bishop and
Frank Robinson. Its policy has not yet
been made known In addition to this
it is expected that the weekly paper that
has been promised by Miss Mollie Conner
will now make its appearance. This will
deal mostly with women's topics. and as
Oakland has more active women than
most cities twice its size there is un-
doubtedly big field for just such journal.
The latest addition to Oakland Jour
nalism is the sudden jump made by the
Oakland Echoes from four-page to u six
teen-page edition. A score of weeklies
have been born and died since Echoes
entered the field eight years ago, but it is
now more breezy and larger than ever.
f. r. Porter, its editor, is one of the
best-kpown and most versatile newspaper
men on the coast. The chief attraction
about Echoes is that it can never be told
just what it will contain, but the surprise
is always an agreeable one. The last
number contained several handsome illus
trations and was the best weekly yet
issued in this city.
In the interior of the county the latest
addition to journalism is the Haywards
Daily Mail, which has already had sue
cessful run of more than month and is as
bright as ever.
