have su rvived to this electrically advanced
time, it is pleasing to think that such UNI
brellas are no longer in use. The philoso-
pher, ambling amiably through the streets
of Philadelphia with that umbrella raised
in a thunder shower, would be q
fit pictorial companion piece for
Ajax defying the lightning, both
calculated to make Ajax get in
and do something. Close by the Franklin
relic is Daniel Boone's towing piece.
There are relics enough and metallurgical
specimens enough in glass cases to interest
one for week. The prince of the day had
SO far seen two museums, had one meal,
one shine, one. shave and one refusal to
accept bath-all for nickel The next
step was equally economical. The Free
Public Library contains the newspapers of
the day. The morning news was duly
digested, the ponthly magazines were
scanned, and note was made OF the park
programme of music for the day. There
had not been an idle moment or dull
moment so far.
TRANSPORTATION to and from the park was
a serious matter. Although only one
nickel had been taken from the treasury the
units which go toward making up a
| quarter of dollar, one dime and two nick
els, clinked insignifcantly in my pockets
as if they knew that they were very small
fry and we're INVITING each other on that
humiliating fact.
When the prince of day boarded a
streetcar it was with the idea of having a
long ride for a nickel-not the longest in
the town, but as long as was compatible
with the plans of the day and the time re-
naming in which they could be carried
out. Lotta's fountain was settled as
the point of departure. The first
car that came along would do

This is the age of invention and diseov-
cry. Professor Crookes of England, the
greatest chemist of the world, some years
ago invented a peculiar tube which has
lately come into general use through the
Tor unknown) ray. Camille Flam-
marion, the great French astronomer, has
demonstrated the probability of human
life in the planet Mas. Both OF these
scientists assert that what is referred to as
''the fourth dimension OF space is an ac-
tual fact in nature, and that in addition TO
length, breadth and thickness, matter may
possess fourth dimension. Eminent as
these gentlemen are III their respective
professions their belief in 1.-THE new dimen-
sion" has been received with great incred-
ulity, and it is only within the past few
months that even the faintest show of
respect has been extended by the world
for their belief in this direction.
What is the fourth dimensionP How
can there possibly be a measurement be-
sides length, breadth and thickness? In
reality there is not. But there is a prop
erty or quality of matter which at first was
thought to be equivalent to a new dimen-
sion, and for convenience these scientists
employed the word dimension" when
referring to it. The newly discovered
quality of matter ranks in importance
next to length, thickness and breadth. 1t
is ''permeability." 1t has been discovered
that two solid bodies may exist in the
same place at once; that solid matter can
pass through solid matter without the
slightest injury to either object.
1t is through the X ray that the first
great public demonstration of this law is
made 1t is a scientific axiom that no
two molecules of matter really touch each
other, but each is surrounded by an inter-
space of ether. ALI molecules are known
to be in constant motion, the rate
OF vibration varying according to the
texture and density of the substance of
which they are parts. Now, when the
X ray Is employed on an object, it fur
nishes so powerful light that it illum-
mates these etheric interspaces, and the
molecules themselves being so infinitesi-
mally small, and in constant motion, they
offer little or no resistance to the illumina-
ton, hence under proper conditions it has
been proven that the human eye can see
all through solid mass OF matter, through
iron plates, stone walls and human bodies,
with about the same degree of clearness
that it sees through the atmosphere.
Two distinct inventions or discoveries
lie ahead in this direction. The first is
to scientifically prove that gross matter
can pass through gross matter: the Sec
ond, to project the human body through
solid substances. Both these feats may
be pronounced i'm possible; and even where
one admits them for the sake of argument
he is apt to claim that there could be no
radical difference in the two operations
and that one discovery would include the

and from front seat the moving spectacle
OF Market street was enjoyed. After rid
ing some blocks westward q transfer was
taken to Powell street and a northward
course was pursued. Then the second
transfer took the nickel tourist out over
the Jackson-street line, from which there
were fine views of the Golden Gate and
handsome residences and grounds which,
az they were passed, stimulated sense of
aristocratic enjoyment. Central avenue
caused the issuance of third transfer
and the beginning of fourth ride for a
nickel. The itinerary had included tour
westward, a second tour northward. a
third tour westward and southwark, and
now, for the same nickel, the fourth tour.
westward and still further southwark to
Golden Gate Park was taken.
On these four trips two pieces of good
luck came along which could not be thrown
away. The first was the capture of a
morning paper which was lett by pas
senger. The second was the acquisition
of the coveted boutonniere. Information
from the paper, strategically volunteered.

bound for the park. the conversation being
based on my admiration for pinks. of
which one of the young persons had a
bunch. Would l accept a boutonniere !?
Why, certainly, with pleasure. The news
paper was gold mine, for it was subse-
quently sold, after some brazen use of
lung, for nickel to party from the coun-
try who wanted to look up time table.
That nickel secured glass of beer and a
free lunch near the park, but thai lunch
was SO poor that the less said about it the
better.
The greatest conservatory on the Pacific
Coast, namely, the one in Golden Gate
Park, was made to furnish its quota of
entertainment. A cigar would have en-

There was next a shave to be secured.
The fact may not be generally known, but
it is a fact that in this commercial and
money-seeking City there is tonsorial
EN- porium where the penniless wayfarer,
so be it that he is hirsute, is sought for.
From the highways and the byways men
with boards and flowing locks are gathered

barber school which is on Howard street
near Eleventh. Not even prince for a
day would derogate from his dignity by
accepting favor where he was not able to
confer one of equal size in return. Scis-
sors snip and razors meander endlessly
over cheeks without a fee. Young men
and old men and at least one young
woman have become students in an
eight weeks course in the barber school.
With a towel tucked under my chin
and lathered for the coming event, L
kept my shiny shoes carefully out of the
reach of anything that could injure their
gloss, and soon emerged with face more
beautiful and princely than ever. On my
Hyperion-like locks had been deposited
sweet scents. This being lear the Lick
free baths visit was paid TO that estab-
lishment. As stranger an invitation was
extended to battle freely and without price
by genial attendant who dispenses
towels and generally superintends. This
invitation would have been accepted but
for the shine and the hair dressing This
was bad generalship and unworthy of a
man who aspired to emulate Napoleon,
but the retreat was mastery as it was ac-
companied by an invitation to "call
again."
1t was barely IL o'clock, too early still for
the benton.
Standing on pedestals, with outstretched
paws, two large bears guard the portals of
the museum of the California Academy of
Sciences. Passing along a marble floor
and over palatial stairways, the prince of
day allowed his naughty eyes to dwell
With mid So
cynicism upon the huge but counterfeit
mammoth which stands eminent
among bevy of articulated prehistorics.
But soon the delights of contemplation
came surging across the reportorial mind
like racing aons. Once more the earth in
fancy became the battle-ground of huge
amphibians, wallowing in fear or shak-
ing their arena with their ponderous
tread. Huge winged serpents with SER
rated teeth shot horribly across the
sky. Lizards came to the one thou
sandth anniversary of the birthday
of the equanodon, and the honors of the
day were divided between the pterodactyl
and the ichthyosaurus. The behemoth,
''that sweated blood shrieked with
all the vigor of prehistoric lungs of
leather. Here in q glass case the dreaded
python writhes. There the egg of the
Mississippianis contains dull possibilities
of producing an Easter alligator. There
was no reporters detail connected with
this; no danger of scoop; no story to
be extracted. The post-pliocene and PHO
Gene periods might become inextricably
mixed and no one could be held RESPONSE
BILE. This show could be viewed with the
free spirit which belongs to the ordinary
mortal; getting more intense Joy because
the big animals are as big as the laws of
nature permit and because their names
are mostly unpronounceable.
There was the State Bureau of Mining
standing open with free and inviting as
pect. In a glass case is the umbrella
which was once owned by BENJAMIN
Franklin. 1t is vivid blue color as to
cloth. The stick is stout as a truncheon
and terminates in ferrule of brass While

mind that Benjamin Franklin could not

For 5 cents the prince of day could
have the choice of any OF these dishes,
with bread and beer. There was no grudg
ing about it. The "barkeep" had no
sooner drawn the beer than he briskly in
quired, ''What will you eat?'' There was

1t was early in the day to start for the
park and the Cliff. The bonton would
not come out until later. There was
enough 70 do IN the meantime. Two or
three preliminary preparations for burst
ing into the fashionable throng at the
park on terms of equal footing we're neces-
sary. There were spots on the reportorial
shoes; the reportorial face needed razor;
the indispensable boutonn1ere must be
procured. The shave could be secured
free. The boutonniere might come easily,
but how about shine? The presence of
sufficient backing on the shoe-leather
