TRANsCONTINENTAL ARC.
The Coast and Geodetic survey Com
pleteS its Labor.

pIeteS It's La Dor.
| WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-The Coast
and Geodetic Survey has just concluded
it's labors in the field upon the stupen-
dous geodetic survey undertaken and
known as the TranscontinentaI Arc, and
lies along the thirty-ninth parallel Of
north latitude, extending from ocean to
ocean. It's eastern end is on the Atlantic
ten miles south of Little Egg Island
lighthouse, below Cape May, and it's
western end is six miles north of Punta
Arena lighthouse, on the Pacific, several
miles above San Francisco According
to the radius of the thirty-ninth par
allel as given by Bessel, the astronomer
of Germany, who first calculated the d.
ameters of the earth, and measured the
distance from the earth to 81 Cygni, the
nearest fixed star, the length of the arc
as measured by the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, is Ill feet in error, and according
to the radius Of the same parallel as
fixed by Sir Andrew Clarke Of Glasgow
University, the error is IS 1-2 feet. But
General Dufield, superintendent of the
survey, declares that these variations
from the heretofore established stand
ards show errors in them, and not in the
calcula ton of his scientists.
The value and vastness of the work
just accomplished cannot be intelligently
appreciated by the unscientifc mind. 1t
was inaugurated by the survey officials
nearly if not quite a century ago Pro-
gress upon it has been spasmodic, but
but some work was done every year
since the beginning. 1t has cost the
Government about 81, 900, 900, but the
penditure is said by the officials TO be
fully justified by the Importance Of the
project. Russia and China the only
countries on the globe where base line
of anything like equal magnitude is pos
sible, and in neither one is ii likely TO
be surveyed for many years. The long
est base line heretofore surveyed was
that in India, running north and south
about a thousand miles in length. Eu-
ropean scientists have been greatly in
terested in the progress of the American
arc, and it's completion will doubtless be
the occasion for many congratulations
from abroad.

SAW THEIR OWN BONES.
X-ray Machine in Operation at
Physicians Office Last Night.

Physicians Office Last Night.
Outside of the one brought down
here by the surgeon of the o. S. s.
Australia a short time ago, Clarence
Macfarlane bears the distinction of
bringing the first X-Ray machine into
the country.
This apparatus known as a -four
inch spark machine" was taken into
a physicians Office last night where
DIR. Wayson, DR.. Wood and a few
friends had gathered.
The machine was set in operation by
a current from some storage batteries
and the peculiar greenish light in the
Crooks tube was a signal that every
thing was ready.
Each one present had an opportunity
to see the bones of his own hand and
wrist, the surgeons instruments en-
closed in a wooden box and key in
the center of a very thick book.
Several of the physicians are talk
ing over the scheme of securing a
"twelve-inch spark" machine for the
use of the public in general and to be
left with Superintendent Eckart at the
Queens hospital. These men have sig
nffed their intention. of donating vari-
GUS sums of money toward the pur-
chase Of this machine and expect that
the merchants will join hands with the
physicians in their effort to secure the
same for the city of Honolulu.

Talliard' or Blake. as he was some
times called, is fairly well known here.
When in Honolulu a year ago he was
on the list of opium suspects He had
plenty of money and expressed a wish to
invest in enterprises here. He was rec
ognized by a former Victorian now in
Honolulu. and steered clear OF him.
When he left Honolulu IL was supposed
that he went TO Victoria for the pur-
pose of bringing down schooner load
of opium, and the authorities have been
on the watch for him. From the ac-
count published above it is probable that
Mr.. Talliard-BlakeK night-Janes will re-
main away for some time TO come.

Now They viii Prevent Dick
Bland's Nomination,
Because His Wife is a Devout
Catholic.
M Nh TC 0nFD
BLAND Is A LIBERAL.
Religious Questions DO Not
Bother Him,
But He's to Be Punished for His
Wife's Sake.

st. Louis April 24-The Republic to-
day says: Every indication points to
bitter fight on "SiIver Dick" Bland in
the event of an effort being made in the
Chicago convention to nominate him
for the presidency Of the United States
1t has leaked out that Mrs. Bland is
a devout member of the Catholic
church and has raised her children in
that faith
The opposition to the nomination of
the great is to L free silver apostle viii
come from the members of the A. r. A.
AS far as could be learned, Bland is
not a member of the church and is
inclined to be liberal in his views on re
Hgious subjects. but the members of
the secret relfgio- political organization,
that viii oppose his nomination and
his election if he succeeds in being nom
mated in spite of their opposition, viii
not spare him for that.
Tt is sufficient for them to know that
a member of the family is allied with
the church of Rome, to lead them to
make a fight on any man who seeks po-
Itical prefelment. An authoritative an
nouncement that the A p. A would
fight Bland $ nomination and election
was given to a reporter by Judge Stew
ems, president of the order for Missouri
and member of the national executive
board. He said that he had not had
an opportunity to investigate the mat
ter but If it We're true that any mem
Der of the family Of the Lebanon man
is a member of the church the order,
of which he is the official head in Mis-
souri,. would exert its utmost power to
preVeDC Bland's nomination and fail
ing in that the full strength Of the or
ganization viii be used against him at
