AMONG THE SCIENTISTS,
San Francisco Sandstone Not
Pre-CretaceouS but Gre
taCeOuS.
An Interesting Programme at the
Academy of Sciences-A Poem
on Evolution"

Last evenings meeting of the Academy
of Sciences was devoted to discourse by
George Otis Mitchell on "Our Conceptions
of Matter and Force" the reading of a
scholarly poem on Evolution" by Louis
A. Robertson, and the presentation of
resolutions of regret because of the re-
moval of Professor Davidson from the
Coast Survey.
One of the clauses of the resolutions that
were presented before the academy and
adopted by the members provided that
copies of the resolutions should be sent to
President Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle
and the members of Congress from this
coast But to the advisability of that one
clause, some of the members took excep-
ton and attempted to have the whole
matter deferred, and an adjournment had
to be voted to stop the discussion.
Announcement was also made of re-
cent discovery on Alcatraz Island of a
fossil, the existence of which disproves the
idea that the San Francisco sandstones are
pre-cretaceous. The cast of the fossil was
found by Captain A. w. Vogdes, and it
may be referred to the genus venericardia,
genus which ranges from the cretaceous
to the tertiary formation. This discovery,
with that by Major Elliott of an inocera-
mus, named by Calf after Its discoverer,
clearly indicates that the San Francisco
sandstones probably belong to the oreta-
ceous period.
In speaking of Matter" Mr..
Mitchell said that the upper and thinner
film of soap bubble is probably five
molecules thick in order to have cohesive
force sufficient to maintain its form. The
thickness near the top of bubble just be-
fore it bursts is about one ten-millionth of
an inch. Each molecule being composed
of several atoms it can be seen that an
atom must be enthusiastically minute.
Smoke rings present, under experiment,
all the properties of solid matter, and yet
when they are broken in any place every
part of them Immediately and entirely
disappears, showing that matter may exist
in an invisible state. Matter and motion
are reconcilable. and are intimately con-
nected; but it is hard to conceive such a
thing as "ether'' as medium for the
transmission of light.
After the completion of this discourse
Louis A. Robertson read an interesting
original poem on Evolution"

Los ANGELES FUEL OIL,
Steps Are Being Taken to Land
1t Here Cheaper Than
Coal
A Committee Here to Arrange for
Transportation-La Sup.
ply Available.

R. A. Heron, president, and F. w.
Flint and John Burns, directors of the Los
Angeles Oil Excl ange, are in the City as a
committee from that organization to try
to arrange for shipping to this City in
large quantities the oil being produced at
that city for fuel purposes. They claim
that they can lay down here fuel oil better
for the purpose than the best coal used at
a lower rate than the cheapest coal bought
here.
Mr.. Heron, who is at the Palace, said
last evening:
Our mission here Is to interest San Francisco
capitalists In transporting our oil TO TINS
market and to arrange for the best rates TO De
obtained by land or water. We came, too, TO
see if there was a market here for us, and we
find much better one than we mad any idea
of. If we can get satisfactory rates for trans
portation we will supply here oil Tor fuel pur-
poses much cheaper than any coal.
We have received much. encouragement SO
far as TO rates and as to getting the. necessary
capital interested. There is little doubt now
that we shall be bringing oil for fuel into this
market in very short time.
We can find plenty of material. We have
our wells are producing at the rate OF 5000
barrels day. About 81 to barrels OF the oil
equals ton of coal for fuel.
There has been great increase in the out
put of oil for fuel in the south during the past
five months. This would not be of much value
in the East, but here, where fuel is so much
higher, it becomes great and important fac
tor In the manufacturing industries OF this
State.
Los Angeles people do not realize the import
ance of the industry yet Your people here
will soon realize the great benefit 1t will be to
the building up of manufactures. The cost OF
fuel is, of course, the greatest drawback you
have TO contend with.
We have in Los Angeles now rolling-mill
fnr Eino cha WI n
Chicago. The use of the fuel oil is what makes
its existence possible.

TOUR OF THE KNIGHTS,
California Commandery Ar
ranging for the Boston
COnClaVo.
A Handsome Illustrated Itinerary
Issued Giving the Proposed
Features of the Trip.

Nearly all the arrangements for the pill
grimage of the members of California Com
mandery No. 1, Knights Templar, to the
triennial conclave which opens in Boston
on the 9th inst, have been completed,
and there is every promise that the trip
across the continent as well as their stay
in the city of culture will be as enjoyable as
it is possible for it to be. A handsomely en-
graved itinerary of the pilgrimage has just
been issued. Not only does it describe the
routes by which the Knights will travel
across the continent in glowing language,
but it sets forth some of the attractive
features in beautiful photogravure illus
trations.
The party will leave here at A. NJ. on
the 18th, and will find q special train wait
ing for them at the Oakland mole. 1t is
promised by the railroad company that no
detail necessary to the convenience and
comfort of the Sir Knights and their ladies
will be overlooked.
At Suisun the party will be met by Sir
knight ]. B. Richardson, the commissary
of the commandery, and at Sacramento
there will be short stop to greet and take
on board the representatives of Sacramento
Commandery No. 2. When Reno is
reached the party will be augmented by
'fraterS or lie WIFI CLINTON CommanQery
No. 1 of Virginia City, New.
From Ogden on the party will travel by
the Rio Grande Western, and pass down
the great Salt Lake Valley until at Salt
Lake change is made to the Denver and
Rio Grande line At Denver the party will
be transferred to the special train of
the Burlington route with a through
run to Chicago. AS it is the intention OF
those in charge of the excursionists to make
their trip as varied as possible, they will
be taken to Detroit and placed in
the care of the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
From there they win go on to Montreal,
where short stay will be made.
After that there will be only one stop
That will be at Newport, Vt, to
enjoy the hospitallties of Malta
Commandery No. 10. Included in the
Inequalities will be trip on Lake Mem
phremagog. Previous to arrival at Boston
the knights will don their full uniforms,
and their horses, which have been sent
on by special train, will be awaiting
them at the depot. They will be met by
Boston Commandery No. 2, 600 strong,
and escorted to the Parker House, where
the headquarters will be during their stay
in Boston.

NEWS OF THE POTRERO.
Solano-S Street Line-Water and Electric
Lights-Grading on the Big
Hill Il BEGUN.

Potrero residents are mostly interested
just now in the somewhat remotely pros
pective running of the Fillmore and Six
tenth streets line on Solano street. There
seems to be nothing for them to do though
but wait patiently. The cut at Bryant
street has been the cause of all the delay,
and until it is finished the people will have
to be content with the Kentucky and
Fourth streets route.
The work of paving seven blocks of So
lano street, from Kentucky, with basalt
blocks by Contractors Warren & Malley
will begin soon.
Some regret is now expressed over the
failure to reduce the width of the side
walks on this street from fifteen to twelve
feet. The street is sixty-six feet wide, and
the double-track of the Market-street Rail-
way Company takes up twenty-one feet.
With the sidewalks at fifteen feet wide on
each side roadway of only seven and a
half feet is left between the car tracks and
the curb.
President Richard Pengelly and Secre-
tary James Glackin of the Southern
Heights improvement Club are laboring
hard with the Spring Valley Water Com
pany to induce that corporation to give
that neighborhood service from some
reservoir which will insure a sufficient
pressure. AT present the residents of the
Heights have to depend largely upon An
tone Raymond's tank, at the corner of
Arkansas and Twentieth streets, for their
water supply. The gentlemen interested
hope to be able to make some sort of an en-
couraging report soon.
The nearest hydrant to all this billy
property is that on Kentucky street, near
Nevada (Twentythird) street. tits thought
that by running main along Nevada
street four blocks TO Iowa street, little
water protection might be afforded in case
of fire. There have been three fires on the
Southern Heights all total loss because of
the inability to get enough water.
In the matter of street lights for the
Potrero, Luke Battles of the Edison COM
pany took a look over the ground yester-
day. He asked Police Lieutenant Bennett
for list of places for electric arc lights.
Lieutenant Bennett prepared the follow
ing: Seventeenth and Tennessee, Nine
tenth and Tennessee, Iowa and Butte,
Seventeenth and Connecticut, Eighteenth
and Connecticut, Nineteenth and Missouri,
Twentieth and Missouri and Twenty
second and Carolina. The need of the
first three, Mr.. Bennett thinks, is abso-
lutely imperative.
The work of cutting down part of the
big hill, the perpendicular side of which
aDutS on henIucKy street dC Napd street,
has been commenced by the Potrero Land
improvement Company on the Minnesota
street slope. 1t is expected that in few
days the gravity trains will be dumping
500 carloads of earth daily on the low
land bounded by Minnesota, Indiana, Napa
and Sierra streets.
The Tubbs Cordage Company is about to
put in 600 feet of macadamized road to
Kentucky street soon, which will be a
boon to teamsters when the rainy season
comes

SURVIVORS OF THE WHITE.
They Arrive at Port Townsend
in a Terrible Con-
dition.
Only Seven Saved Out of Twenty
SeVen-All but One More or
Less Injured.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Aug. g.
the steamship Topeka, which arrived last
night, had the rescued crew of the sealing
schooner c. G. White, which was wrecked
at Wood Island, Alaska, early in the
spring. The poor fellows. who are manned,
are sickening sights and are awaiting the
sailing of the next San Francisco steamer,
which will carry them home.
The party consists of seven men, all that
remains of crew of twenty seven. Among
the survivors is w. E. Bail, marine engi-
neer, who thought the trip would do him
good. He had been engineer on Hearst's
famous steam yacht Aquilla. He comes
back with both feet gone above the ankle
and VIII be cripple the rest of his days.
+. a. Sweeney, sailor, was one of the
few who had the fortitude to tramp thirty
seven miles through deep snow to the
nearest settlement for the relief of his
frozen comrades, and is the only man in
the entire crowd who comes home whole. "
August Wickstrom was the second mate.
and is the only officer who escaped. He
lost three toes OF his right foot, together
with one of the large bones.
NJ. Mathieson, sailor, was luckier than
others, losing only one toe of his right
foot.

bonds for the purpose of discussing the re-
cent decision of Judge Ross affecting this
class of securities. Only about half dozen
bondholders attended. and nothing was
accomplished further than an agreement
to meet again on Wednesday, at which
time a larger attendance is expected, as
the irrigation people all over the State
have been notified.
Mr.. Meyer was seen last evening at his
residence on California street and asked II
the Ross decision would have the effect OF
invalidating municipal bonds. as rumored
on the street yesterday afternoon when the
conference in his Office became known.
He was very positive in a negative reply.
1.-THE decision" said Mr.. Meyer, ''affects
only irrigation bonds, and the conference
in my office related only to this class of
securities. Municipal bonds were not con-
sidered at all, and will not be taken up at
the conference set for Wednesday. We
did nothing this afternoon. At the next
meeting we expect to have better attend
ance. AS to what will be done can ex-
press no opinion, for l do not know. OF
one thing you may be sure, municipal
bonds will not be affected by the Ross de-

LITTLE HAUOK'S LAST VOYAGE.
He Drifts Into the Bay on q Plank and
browns.

browns.
The little son of Private George w.
Hauck at the Preside was drowned off
Preside wharf on Sunday afternoon in the
presence of his playmates. Up to late
hour last night his body was not recovered.
With several other lads young Hauck,
who was only years of age, went to play
along the bay shore. They wandered off
together toward the wharf, and there
sailed about on boards and bits of plank
ing. Little Hauck pushed out a few feet
just the least bit too far-and presently he
was carried out ON his frail raft over the
waves. His playmates could do nothing
to save him, and gazed in terror at the
child drifting away to sea. These were
precious but lost moments, for when they
began to fully realize the situation it was
then too late to save the boy.
They FASTENED to the nearest Preside
building and gave the alarm. Immedi-
ately telephone message to the Baker s
beach lifeboat station was sent, and the
hfe-saving crew pulled off around Fort
Point to where the child disappeared.
They cruised around the wharf while
the sea was scanned with glasses by many
anxious eyes in vain hopes of seeing the
boy on his raft, but when evening came on
the search had to be abandoned.
Young Hauck was caught in southwest
current that carried him out into the chan
mel, where it was supposed that the child
was tumbled off his plank by the waves.

shipped as cabin boy, is the worst multi
ated victim of the terrible disaster. His
injuries include the loss of two toes and
the heelbone of the lett and the first and
second toes of the right foot, three and
half fingers from the left hand and two
fingers from the right, and the tips OF the
others.
F. H. Murray, seaman, suffered injuries
which will make him a cripple for lie.
The entire front of his left foot had to be
amputated to save his life.
When the wreck occurred the first to get
ashore were Bail, Morrillo, Sweeny and
Rogers, who started for assistance to the
nearest settlement, place called Okyok,
thirty-seven miles away across the lagoon.
The snow was neck high. Bail was the only
one who reached the place, Rogers, Morrlllo
and Sweeny succumbing to the intense
cold.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company
has offered transportation to the untor-
mates from Sitka TO San Francisco. They
leave ON the Walla Walla tomorrow at
noon.
