CONTRABAND ANTIQUITIES.
italian Works of Art Find Their Way

to the Market Despite the LAW
From the London News: Some days
ago a we'll known dealer in antiquities
offered for sale to the Louvre museum,
in Paris. splendid collection of an
cient silver vases from Italy of Greek
or Italian workmanship. The museum
W IS unable to pay the price asked
f2O O00-and declined the bargain. The
Italian minister of education, having
learned of this, has taken proceedings
under the Pacca law against Signor Di
Frisco, the owner of these antiquities.
The latter is a large land owner at
Bosco Reale. He secretly made exca-
vations of his estate aad found twenty
eight silver vases OF remote antiquity.
Observation-Disclosures the Italian law pro-
hibiting owners Of antiquities from
sending them out of the country with
out leave. or, rather, on account of this
law, which prevents old works OF art
from commanding anything like their
natural price in the impoverished coun-
try, Signor hi Pasco Struggled his find
out of Italy and offered il to Paris
dealer for $4,000. Continuing mean
while his search, he found other silver
vases, which duly Joined their fellows
in Paris, and the whole lot was offered
10 the Louvre. The Italian minister OF
education throws interesting light on
the facilities which underpaid officials
are supposed to afford to Illicit export
ers Of antiquities. He issues notitica-
,fo, that ehnuId any official he found
to have connived at this latest evasion
OF the Pacca law, they will be criminal
~ prosecuted.

1t is n fact well known to astronomers
that the average number of total and
partial eclipses in any one year IL four;
that the maximum is seven, and the
minimum two. Where only two occur
they are always both of the sun. There
are a great many more eclipses OF tho
sun in the course Of a year or hundred
years than there are of the moon; this
fact Notwithstanding, however, London,
the metropolis OF the world, seems to
be a place where such distractions OF
the suns light seldom occur.

A NEGLECTED BABY.
The Little Girl of Mrs. Addie Walsh, a
Widow, Found in Dying

Mary Frances Walsh, pretty baby
thirteen months old, was taken to the Re-

lance. 1t was suffering from brain fever
and was supposed to be in dying condi-
ton.
Under the careful treatment of DIR.

the matron the little mite began to gradu-
ally improve and it will probably recover.

had been neglecting it.

Notwithstanding Mr.. Hawley's denial
that he has purchased an interest in the
paper the opinion of newspaper men is
that such will be the fact in the near
future. Mr.. Hawley is possessed of con-
siderable means and has hitherto been
newspaper-owner. and it is said by those
who know him intimately that he would
not work for a salary.

lltical and business circles. 1t came some
what In the nature of a surprise for it had
been announced few days previously that
a. Nj. Lawrence, one of the New York
Journals writer's, was to sit in the manae-
ing editors chair in the Examiner office.
This impression was left upon the public
mind because 1t was known that Managing
Editor f. H. Hamilton, who has achieved
much distinction as graceful and classic
writer, was not satisfied with the weighty
responsibility and the grinding drudgerv
OF his position, and sighed for the pleas
ures OF the soul which were to be found in
the theater lobbies and the clubs in the
companionship of intellectual men, few of
course, but like diamonds, all the more
valuable because of their scarcity.
But uuon Mr.. Lawrence has fallen the

indicates, is about the most important no.
sition on a newspaper. F. l.. III. Noble.

under the Hearst management, will assist

remain vacant for some time, Mr.. Hearst.
or Mr.. Hawley, evidently having some
Eastern or Western man in the minds eve
for that place.
Mr.. Hawley's title will be that of pub
Usher. He will have the general manage
nent of the paper as whole, embracing
both the business and journalistic ends.
In other words, he will be Mr.. Hearst's
resident representative, and will not only
look after the editorials and the news. but
after the dollars that come and go through
the business office.
Mr.. Hawley said yesterday that he had
consented to accept the position of pub
Usher of the Examiner and hold it for a
year at least. No change would be made
in the business department except that
Mr.. Hawley would act for the proprietor.
For the present Mr.. Hawley will concen.
trate his attention on the editorial end of
the paper until he becomes thoroughly fa-
miliarized with its workings.

ency than to fact, wrote down the details of
the vibrations of q certain well-known Office
building, which were described as being so Sc
we're as TO stop the clock on any but the lowest
storiesi Factory chimneys, church steeples,
lofty monuments and in fact every structure
that raises it head much higher than its fel-
lows to the buffeting of the elements are To-
cally credited with feats of more or less impos-
sible vibra ton.
That factory chimneys do sway to and fro in
high wind, and that poorly constructed
building will rock, can be proved by careful
instrumental tests and in extreme cases the
motion can, perhaps, be detected by the eye,
but the frequency and extent to which these
motions occur has been vastly exaggerated.
1t would be natural to suppose that the elias
ITCHY of the steel framework of a freproof
building would allow of a certain amount OF
give" or spring under the severe bending
stresses to which 1t is subjected by the wind
pressure.
We have been favored with the result of an
instrumental test which was recently carried
out on the twenty-frst floor of the American
Surety building Broadway, New York, by the
engineer and superintendent of the building,
J. Turner. 1t was made during the height of
the heavy storm which prevailed during jan
uary 4, when an official wind elocity of eighty
two miles per hour was registered in the
netghboring station. The test failed to give
the slightest evidence of vibration, result
which agrees with the testimony of the in
mates that in gale the topmost floors are as
still as the first stories. The test was made
with transit and level, and though it was not
a test of the highest instrumental character
the result was remarka bic, for both the plumb
bob and the bubble remained perfectly still,
even where the building was struck by the
heavier gusts of wind.
We confess to some surprise at this practi-
cally absolute rigidity; for the absence Of any
building on the other side of Broadway, and
indeed on that part of the whole block which
lies Immediately in front of the Surety build
ing, makes it certain that practically the full
height from curb to coping. was exposed to
the shock of the storm.
Just how great was the bending strain set up
within the building is a matter of easy calcu-
lation. The front exposed to the wind is 81
total OF 26, ,5S5 square feet. The wind pressure
corresponding to 80 miles per hour is some
what problematical, for, although expert

contract for the steelwork to Pacific Coast
m anutacturers by contracting for the cut
stone work with John D. McGilvray, who
will receive $154, 710 when it is completed.
The most important specifications of the
agreement between the contracting par
ties are as follows:
The stonework is to be carried on in
such manner that it shall at no time be
more than three stories below the top of
the steel frame. BY August II it must be

The payments are to be made as each

final payment will be made thiruy.tive

A dim idea of the beauty of the building

be gathered from the accompanying illus

the cut-stone work will have been finished.
The appended article, entitled tStabil-
ity of Lofty Buildings" taken from. the

proves conclusively that the lofty height
OF THE CALL building will in no wise inter-
fere with its strength.
Although the exaggerated proportions of the
modern Office building render it. architect
urally speaking, somewhat grotesque, there is
no doubt but that the steel skeleton system
upon which 1t is built provides all the neces-
sary rigidity and strength. The vast areas of
towering wall which these buildings present
to the wind naturally raise the question OF
their ability TO Withstand the accumulated
pressure which must result when they are ex-
posed to gale of any strength.

been a favorite theme with those who write in

FISHING WITH SET NETS.
Two Seizures Recently Made by a Dep

Two Seizures Recently Made by a Dep
uty Fish Commissioner.
Deputy Fish Com missioner John Davis
writes to headquarters in this City from
Martinez OF the work he is doing in the
upper bay. On the Goth inst. he found a
set net anchored with pigiron in Ronkers
Bay. He took it to Collinsyille. At the
head of Suisun Bay set net in four sec
tions, amounting to 600 fathoms, was
found. It-was fastened with five anchors,
While taking it up ]. Bergstrom appeared
and claimed the net.
This was better luck than the deputy
expected, ana he arrested the owner OF
the net for violating the fish law. Berg
strom was taken to Benicia, and his case
is now before Justice Barry and jury.
Davis reports that the spring run OF sal
mon is exceedingly small, the fishermen
not averaging over three or four day to
each boat Bass, however, are plentiful
but they bring very small price.
