UKIAH'S LONGITUDE,
1t Will Be Established in a Few Days
by Government Geographer
and Astronomer.

c. H. Sinclair of the United States
Coast ard Geodetic Survey arrived from
Washington few days ago for the pur-
pose Of determining the exact latitude of
the city of Ukiah, in Mendocino Coun ty.
Mr. Sinclair is an expert in that kind of
work, and for that reason he was selected
TO come to California.
Ukiah city has been on the map for a
good many years, butit has never been in
the right place. Its local tir2e has never
been exact for the same reason. In fact
ever since the city was founded its CLOCKS
and watches have been wrong. The ouIv
correct timepieces have been the hour
glasses and the sun dials with the aid of
the almanac.
Mr.. Sinclair will start for Ukiah this
morning, and will at once proceed to do
business. He will take observations OF
the stars and will compare the meridian
time with that of San Francisco, whose
longitude Is kn own, for the purpose of dis
covering the error. In this he Will be as
sisted by the telegraph.
'Wnen the work shall have been com.
pleteG Ukiah will assume her proper place
on the map invested with ali the dignity
of city with well-detined longitude.

The plentiful supply of apples this
season, with its natural corollary cheap
ness. should make this healthful fruit
liz common use in every household.
Physicians consider apples a febrifuge
of great value in the autumn and early
winter months, when they are in their
perfection, and when the insidious
fevers are most apt to lie in wait for
their victims For breakfast and
luncheon the fruit may be served in its
natural state, but at night, particular
ly if there are children in the fam
ily, it should be cooked. The list of ap-
petizing dishes that may be. prepared
from apples runs from the homely, but
very good, when well made, brown
Betty through a long range of custards.
puddings, pastries and meringucs.
Among these apple snow may be men
toned as delicate and especially con-
serving the flavor of the fruit: Peel,
core and quarter a number of apples;
set them to boil with little water,
sugar, and the thin rind of lemon;
when quite done, remove the lemon
rind and pass the apples through a
hair sieve. Have some whites of eggs
beaten to froth, stir them lightly
Tito the apple puree, spoonful at a
time, until the mixture is of the con-
sistency Of whipped cream and quite

DUCK SHOOTING MADE EASY.
How Millionaire Bags the Game With
out Firing ii 9 Gun.

There is a man in this city who has
the wealth of a millionaire and the in
stincts of a sporting man. Being able
to crafty the instincts, he had bought a
patch of river land in the neighborhood
of a duck colony, and there established
an exclusive shoot.ngground.
Now. everybody does not know this.
People generally believe that Mr.. Mil
lionaire is as mighty a hunter as Mr..
Nimrod of Biblical fame.
But here is the secret of this fortu-
nate sport, as related by an eye-wit-
ness. An old French hunter is en-
ployed on the island, and what Pere
Pirault doesn't know about duck shoot
ing isn't worth knowing. He has an
unerring eye and dilapidate1 old gun
that will bring down more birds at a
shot than the best shotgun in the hands
of sportsman, for that gun of Pere's
never missed bird in it's career. The
usual form Of dialogue between Mr.. Mil
lionaire and his hunter is here repro
duced:
bCIc cSL ouC duSh, NlCCoUC1 1A'
81 don't see it, Pere."
mon? You no zee dat duck? Dat
is SO. Hit make not vary plain. Ny
sef, show hit, Meester NJ" and Pere
gets behind the elegant new shotgun
and the amateur sportsman.
Bang, bang! Only one gun goes off,
but that is Pere's, and more than one
duck falls inert.
"You shoot dem duck, Meestef NJ, y
says Pere, innocently. Hit was a
great shcot-pour vous."
The sarcasm Of foreign tongue is lost
on Mr.. Millionaire. Pere loads up and
gives his old gun her head again. and
more birds are slaughtered. And it is
confidently believed that Mr.. Ms new
shotgun has never been fred within the
memory Of man.-ChicaEo Times-Her-

THE RUNAWAY STAR.
Travelling Through Space at tho Rate OF
Two Hu dred Miles Second.

xEHVolIHS 1hEOuSH SphCc ~ eLo Asnto "a
Two Hu dred Miles Second.
The greatest velocity that has been
recognized among the stars is found in
the motion of star known as 1880
Groombridge, or the runaway star, as
it is sometimes called, which is believed
to be rushing through space at the rate
of 200 miles per second. This star ap-
pears to be moving in a perfectly
straight line through the sky, and it
may be visiting our star system for
THE first time, but whence it comes or
whittier it is going no one can tell and
it is great enigma to the astronomers.
Its wonderful velocity cannot be ex-
planned, as it is far greater than could
be produced by the influence of all
known orbs in the universe, and, on
the other hand, the combined attrac-
ton of all the other stars cannot stop
this wanderer in its solitary f'ght
through space, until it has rushed on
to the remoter distances, beyond WI. ch
the largest telescopes have never pene-
trated.
1t has been mathematically demon
strated that body approaching the
center of our system from an infinite
distance cannot move with greater
velocity than 25 miles second, if in
fuenced by the attraction of the masses
in our universe alone, but here we have
been considering star moving with
eight times that velocity and still, not
withstanding the fact that it has the
greatest motion known among the
stars, it would require $4,000 years for
this remarkable star to complete an en-
tire circuit around the heavens.-Chi-

Etiquette is to be observed in preach
ing before the queen. No personal ref
erence to her majesty is permissible, a
pure Gospel discourse being the rule,
delivered as though she was not pres
ent. Many have tried to evade these
rules. The queen likes and enjoys "a
plain, practical discourse, selected
from the lessons or Gospel of the day,
to occupy about 90 minutes in delivery.
Questions of the day, and, above all, pol

"Freedom from
oscillation"

In its issue of Febr'y 18TH
the Railway Age" of Chi
cago gives a very interesting
account of some record
breaking runs on the Bur-
lington Route between Ca
lesburg and Chicago. The
article says in conclusion:
"The Burllngton's main
line track allows the high
es, speed to be made with
remarkable freedom from
oscillation. The train 'purrs'
over the joints with a de-
lightful rythm and the pas
senger seldom realizes that
he is riding at an extra or
dinary gait"
Freedom from oscillation
issometh thing the Burlington
is famous for all over the
country. No matter how
great the speed, the train is
as steady as any moving
object can be.
How could it be otherwise
with such a track. such roll.
