MOST UNLUCKY
OF JILL MEN
Ruined Each Time by
the Elements
WIND, FLHME AND POISON
Remarkable Hardships Suffered
by the Dunn FamiIy-Is
This Karma?

William F. Dunn, his wife and two little
children live on the second floor of tene-
ment-house back of Natoma street. To
reach the place it is necessary to pass
a boarded alley and up flight of narrow
stairs, and unless the searcher for Mr..
Dunn had previously been instructed how
to go, with some exactness, it is two to
one that the Dunn family would be undis-
covered. There are some people who
deny the existence of luck, good or bad,
but it appears to the average observer that
Mr.. Dunn has passed through more vicis-
situdes IN three or four years than can be
attributed to plans or to lack of the same.
In short he and his family have twice been
burned out of house and once blown out
OF home in a little over thirty-six months.
ut was this way" said Mr.. Dunn, yes
terday, who was Just recovering from
violent spells of cramps, which had lasted
nearly all the preceding night, and was
also nursing his feet, which were badly
swollen from contact last week with
poison oak. He would have work now
but for the poison oak.
"You see, my wife and myself came
here from England about four years ago
lOOhluS IOI NOIk. we went 10 i've at 104
Front street after we had accumulated a
little furniture, and as found something
to do for time we were quite comfortable.
We even accumulated few knick-knacks,
but not many, of course. Early one morn
ing gust of wind came and actually blew
out the whole front of the house. With
the house front went down many of the
articles we owned and others were ruined.
'Of course we could not help that" went
on Mr.. Dunn bravely, once more nursing
his unfortunate feet AFTER a time we
got TO going a little once more. Work was
not plenty and the pay was not large, but
we got some articles of furniture. We
lived on Natoma street. A fire came
aud destroyed part of our furniture
and the water thrown to put out the flames
practically ruined the rest.
THAT was pretty hard, but we did not
despair. Once more we had furniture.
Early this present year We were living in
the rear of 30s Folsom street, and al
though we were very poor we were COM
Portable. Then there came, in May, the
fire which destroyed the w. P. Fuller &
Co. establishment. This took place at 5
o'clock A. NJ. We were living on the
ground floor Mrs. Dunn could escape
only by climbing out of a window with the
children. Everything We had went once

San Pablo's Historic Laurel

The historic old laurel tree known to
the earliest Spanish settlers about San
Pablo as the cooking tree marks the spot
where many of the Indian and early Span
ish festivities were celebrated. Under its
great branches Spaniards danced the fan
dango after tasty meal, of which many
have been cooked in the hollow trunk of
this famous tree.
The trunk at the base is about 6 feet
through and about 20 feet high, tapering
toward the top, at which there is a ma
turally formed hole as an outler for the
smoke arising from the fire built inside.
The cavity inside is 4 feet across, giving
plenty of room for a person to move about
with the grace and skill of a French cook.
In the tifties this remarkable tree was in
all its splendor and was the admiration of
the old Spaniards and others, who loved it
for its beauty, grace and utility. Previous
to this the Indians gathered under its

To See Inf1nitesirnal Life

DR.. Gustav Eisen, curator of microscopy
of the California Academy of Sciences,
whose recent discovery of the life princi-
pies of the centrosome caused such STIR
in the scientific world. has just received
from the Zeiss factory at Jena, Germany,
a set of the highest power and finest
definition lenses that institution is capable
OF turning out. Higher power lenses are
made by the same factory, but with less
definition, which renders them insult
able for such infinitesimal work as DR..
Eisen is at present engaged upon-the
study of the centrosome as an independ-
ent organism.
1t was especially for this work that the
lenses were constructed, and when the i'm
portance of the discovery was made known
the work on them was pushed forward as
rapidly as possible. Nevertheless. nearly
two months were spent in the grinding of
them, and the entire set can be carried In
the palm of a persons hand.
There is little about the appearance of
these wonderful and expensive pieces of
glass to describe. They look to the eye
like any other lenses, but their power
comes from the accuracy of their grinding
and the scientific contour of the lines on
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-26

which they are constructed, as well as the
quality of glass of which they are made.
In the manufacture of fine high-power
lenses nowadays, the idea is to con-
struct them so that an entire set can be
used in the same microscope tube, which
enables a student to examine certain
slide with several different power glasses
in very few minutes. The lower lens is,
of course, the most important, as on it de-
pends the accuracy of all the others. This
lens is placed in position and focused on
a certain slide with any Of the "eye''
glasses.
Of course any of the combinations are
very high power, but if it was the lowest
OF the set that was used in the first place
it can be lifted out and a higher power
one put in its place in a moment. The
slightest turn OF the setscrew is enough to
compensate for any difference in the
focus. The higher power combination
used the less field" can be seen. So by
the com bination of lenses a low power can
be used first to make an examination of
slide, and then, as certain portions are
discovered, the details can be examined
by using as hign power lenses as they will
bear without losing definition.

spreading branches of thick foliage. which
afforded them shelter on rainy days and
an admirable natural kitchen.
This tree marks the place where many
councils of the bay tribe of Indians held
conventions. Around its base are many
heaps of clam shells. evidence of big appe-
tites of bygone days, when clam roasts
were the pet dish OF the Indians. Many
skulls and other relics have also been un-
earthed there.
In 1856 Captain ]. G. BARS landed here on
his last trip in the sailing ship Sophia which
arrived from Portugal freighted with wine
and walnuts. The good inducements
offered ashore for men prompted the crew
to desert. After which the ship was sold
and the skipper decided to swallow the
anchor" and rusticate ashore. He built
his dwelling under this tree on the west
side. on the east side his stable, the
branches covering both structures.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-26

DR.. Eisen had not
been in possession of
his lenses many hours
before he had found
something new. OF
course he used them
on the slides with
which he discovered
the independence of
the centrosome, and
while trying to make
UP his mind Just how
much superior they
were to his old ones
he saw a tiny speck
in one of the indepen-
d e mt centrosomes.
This little thing is
enough to lead the
way to another path
of study. Just what
it indicates cannot,
of course, be told tor
some time. 1t may
be that the centro-
some WILDE found to
possess still greater
possibilities Tor get
ting at the physical
basis of life than was
supposed q few weeks
ago.

The only living fellow-slav of the orig
inals of the novel is old Norman Kennedy
Argo, now "a years old. He still stays
with Mrs. Argo, who took him after Gen.
eral Kennedy's death. Old Norman is a
little more than three and half feet tall
and weighs less than sixty pounds. He
was reared with all the persons who APP
pear in the novel, and knew Lewis Clark,
the hero of the novel, especially well. He
says Clark, who was a muiatto, began
bleaching soon after the death of General
Kennedy, and after satisfying himself
that he could pass as white man, stole a
mule In the neighborhood and went TO
Cincinnati. His wife, Margie, Mrs. Stoves
Eliza, an octoroon, won on horserace by
General Kennedy in Indian Territory,
soon ran off, too, and joined Clark IN
Ohio. Old Norman says the wonderful de-
scription of Eliza's crossing the river on
the floating ice is a myth. According to
his statements she made the trip on ferry
boat. Old Argo also maintains that Ken
nedy treated his slaves well.

Sir:-I have taken some interest in
the proposed new city charter and it
seems to me the document is not well
understood by the people. Even the
members of Council have had no eX-
PLANTATION of it. Public meetings have
been suggested. but no steps taken to
arrange such meetings.
! suggest that, when Council takes
ND for consideration. at its next meet
ing the ordinance submitting the char
fer TO a vote of the people that Mr..
Erskine appear before Council and eX-
Main it fully there for the enlighten-
ment of that body.
His address would through the med
ium of the press reach the people and
do much toward clearing up all doubts
as TO the merits Of the measure. Then
