If It Had Been Known at the

ITS WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES
1t May Let Us Look Into the Earth's
Surface and Discover Its
Secrets.

Before the cathode ray we must raise
our hats" said Professor George David
son, discussing the latest information
about the scientific marvel as presented in
The CALL yesterday.
''It is something absolutely new to the
scientific world. 1t has sprung upon US
almost with that unexpectedness with
which sometimes the solid earth quakes
under our feet. To be sure there are
number of men whom we know to have
been close upon this discovery, working
all about it, but not knowing what it was
they saw. A NUMBER of men had theories
and some few were said to have really
been to the Western continent before
Columbus made his voyage. But Coium-
bus got Grenade it reality. That is
what Roentgen has done with this new
vibratlon-whatever it may be.

news has just been broken. If | had been

wideps the scope of possible knowledge
bly-of possible knowledge, you
understand. As | have said the news has
just been broken, a very few experiments
have been made and they are all abso-
lutely new to the world.
What limitations the new thing may
have we do not know. But it sets one
thinking that we may, by its aid, be en-
abled after a while to look into the earth
and discover what is hidden there Why
not? By taking the suns light and break
ing it up with a spectroscope we know the
composition of the distant sun itself; here
is SO much iron, here is so much salt, etc.
1t is not safe to laugh at things in these
days. There is SO much that we do not
know. The longer live and the more l
find out the more am inclined to stoop
with the weight of the knowledge that I
have not.

CALIFORNIA-MADE ROPE.
A Demand That the Harbor Commits
RiOnera Use 1t on All State Roats

A Demand That the Harbor Commits
sioners Use 1t on All State Boats.
The officers of the Manufacturers and
Producers Association recently discov-
cred that the rope and cordage used on the
State tugs and dredgers are of Eastern
make. In order to have the money spent
for these necessaries expended in this
State the following letter was written yes-
terday:
To the Honorable the State Board of Harbor
nmiSSi0ners-GENTLEMEN: Information has
reached this office that the rope used on the
State dredgers, tugs, ETC., which is purchased
by your honorable board is of Eastern manu-
facture, and we would therefore call your at
tention TO the fact that there is manufactured
in California rope of as good quality, guaran-
teed, as is manufactured anywhere in the
prices. An investigation of the relative merits
of rope manufactured in California and rope
manufactured in the Eastern States we are
certain will prove to your entire satisfaction
that the California article is at least equal in
both quality and price, and we believe that
when you are satisfied that such is the case
there will be no more purchases Of Eastern
made rope by your honorable board. We
would, therefore, most respectfully request
that you do investigate the matter, and if you
find that California rope is manufactured equal
in quality and price with the Eastern made
article we beg that you will give the prefer
ence to the California manufacture, thus help
ing to foster and build up one of the industries
OF California and keeping in circulation at
home moneys that would otherwise go East.

Sculptor Marion Wells Must Finish the
City Hall Statue Within
Two Weeks.

Unless F. Marion Wells the SCULPTOR
who was given the contract to furnish the
statue to surmount the dome of the Citv
Hall, finish his work within two weeks he
will be taxed $50 by the City Hall Com
missioners for every day that he delays be-
yond that time.
When the sculptor asked for an exten.
sion yesterday, both Auditor Broderick
and City and County Attorney Creswell
rose in their wrath and declared that thew
were tired of delay, and would insist on
the work being finished at once Finally.
however, they were prevailed upon to
grant two weeks on the conditions named =.
The floor of the dome then came in for
discussion, and City and County Attorney
CresweH proposed that the accepted de-
sign OF star be changed to bear, but his
ideas did not suit the Auditor, and the
original plan was adhered to.
The wainscoting of the dome was dis
cussed at length, and it was decided to use
only California material in spite of the
fact that Eastern stone could be procured
at cheaper rate. The matter of selecting
the stone was left in the hands of Archi-
tect Shea.

for his model the father elk at Golden

is called the father elk, because of his hav-

VISITED BY THE PRINCE.
Luigi of Savoy Called on Mayor SutrO
and Inspects the City

Prince Luigi of Savoy returned the visit
made by Mayor Sutro to the Italian
cruiser Cristoforo Colombo few days ago,
by calling on the chief executive at his
offices in the City Hall yesterday.
The Mayor was taken by surprise when
the noble Italian entered his sanctum
escorted by Captain Bertolini, his superior
of1lcer on board the warship, but soon re-
covered his equanimity sufficiently to
show the Prince the pictures of his prede-
cessors, which hang about the walls of the
office.

for her lecture and, Notwithstanding she

"the campaign is entirely under the con-

hitherto silent listener.
Amid laughter and invitations TO "call

As two of the party wended their way to-
ward Market street one remarked: Mrs.
Harlaud is right. So long as the campaign
remains an interchange of ideas between
suffragists, as long as suffragists continue
to talk to suffragists, it will be as
effective as Don Quixote's onslaught upon

thirty years past has been one of the most

who are in arrears for subscription
getting their papers outside of the

many who have not yet responded.
We hope they will do SO at once.
Those subscribers who get their pa

who are owing us for from one to
more years, will not be sent state
ments, as each one can consult the

New JERSEY reviveth her old time
democratic vigor. Democratic gains
were the rule throughout that state at
the late spring election. A sample
change of the political front of New
Jersey is presented by Newark
which two years ago elected repub-
lican mayor by 500 majoity, but last
week elected a democratic mayor
by 4,500 majority and the whole dem
ocratic ticket. The results in the
state taken altogether have given
the republicans rude shock surprise,
accompanied with the painful pros
pect that the democrats will sweep
New Jersey with the largest demo
cratic majority she has ever given.

Shady Transaction.

We made mention last week of DR..
Warner, former resident of this
city, being here with fast horse; II
has since been developed that the
Dr., or as he was better known as
The Missing Link" has evidently
been doing some shady transactions.
Tuesday he borrowed money from a
gentleman of tins city and gave
mortgage on the horse for security.
After getting the money Warner
drove to Holgate and put the horse
i9H freight car that had already
been hired and was awaiting him on
the side track. The loaner of the
money caught onto the fact that the
DR.. was trying to get the horse out
of the state and sent Marshal Burns
after him. The Marshal discovered
his man just as the train was pulling
out of Holgate. Warner was brought
to Napoleon Tuesday evening and
placed in the calaboos where he lies
at this writing awaiting further de-
velopments.

struck stone and overturned. The
occupants were thrown out and Miss
Hull and Kate Kolbe, who were in
the back seat escaped with but few
bruises, while the other two in the
front seat received severe injuries.
Nettie struck on her face, breaking
some small bones in her nose and
scraping her face, while Hannah, be-
sides being severely bruised received
a cut across the chin. The young
ladies were carried into the residence
of John Knape and medical aid sum
moned. The horse continued to run
until tired out and was caught on

ents from nine in the morning until
nine in the evening. Those patients
who live sufficiently near will gener-
ally find personal interview to their
advantage, either at the Institute or
with one of the physicians who
makes regular visits to your town.
The physicians in charge fully ap-
preciate the feelings of their patients
and endeavor to give entire salts
faction to the large number con-
stantly under treatment. That they
are successful in this respect is CON
clusively proved by the letters on
file at the Institute from old patients
and giving names of friends to whom
they wish treatment sent. They do
not claim to work miracles, but do
claim in all honesty and candor to
cure cases that are at all durable.
