A CYCLIST ON THE CAR FENDER
The Wheelman Dived Into It as His
Only Chance Of Safety

A wheelman in Brooklyn, Sunday after
noon, to save himself from serious in
jury, or possibly death, found it necessa-
ry to dive from his bicycle into the fender
Of a trolley car, which ran him down.
This he did, with remarkable presence
Of mind, and he was carried on the fend-
er for twenty-five feet before the car
could be stopped, while his wheel was
dragged over the cobblestones and twist
ed out of all semblance of bicycle.
The man who retained his self-posses-
sion in the face of grave danger is A. J..
Jupp. Mr.. Jupp, who is 25 years old, Is
an enthusiastic wheelman. He left his
home at noon to take a short ride.
Just as he reached the corner an east
bound trolley car stopped, and nearly a
Gozen persons alighted. Instead of
lodging between the pedestrians, Mr..
Jupp decided TO wheel around the car.
He did not notice another car coming
down the street at rapid rate of speed.
He had just rounded the rear of the
eastbound trolley car when the one going
west was upon him. 1t was impossible
J for the motorman, to stop in time, and
several women, who had realized Mr..
Jupp's fearful predicament, screamed.

LARGER QUARTERS REQUIRED
A Growing Institution Makes an I'm
portant Move

The two upper floors of the new Gard
ner & Zellner building now under con-
struction near the city hall have been
leased by the English and German Spe-
cialists.
The rent, $4,000, for the eighty rooms
for five years,was paid in advance by Dr.
p Janss, president of the institution
This is probably the largest sum ever
paid in advance for rent in this city. Dr.
Janss has been looking for larger quar-
ters for some time, as the twelve rooms
now occupied in the Byrne building have
become entirely inadequate to accommo-
date the rapidly increasing business Of
his institution. When the English and
German Specialists came to Los Angeles,
were required. From time to time, how
ever, as the business grew, adjoining
offices were secured, until nine more
were added No similar undertaking
in the west has met with such remark
able success. Today the English ana
German Specialists, which is incorpo-
rated under the laws of Califtrnia fol-
$250,OO0 is recognized as one of the per-
manent and reliable institutions of the
city.
The new offices, which will be ready
for occupancy about the first of the year,
will be furnished and fitted up without
regard to cost, and will be model med
ical and surgical institute in every sense
of the word.

TRANSFORMATION

POSSIBLE
other Metals May Be Transformed
Into Gold at Low Temperature

The extreme gravity of the gold prob
lem to the world today demands that no
considerations should be silenced which,
If in ever so little degree. may be help
full to the calculation of the matter
with which this article deals in any one
of it's many phases, and for this reason
I deem the present moment unusually
opportune for drawing public attention
to the following paper. which was writ
ten almost exactly year ago and sub
mitted then to the examination and
criticism of select few scientific friends,
earnest in the search, not for the pre-
cious metal merely, but the much more
pecious gold of truth. And 1t is proper
that l should add, because the statement
is true, that this paper was written
year ago as the result of my own private
in physical science, long be-
fore l had heard anything whatever OF
the work of DR.. Stephen H. Emmens, or
that of the Argentaurum Syndicate, of
which knew nothing until about the
end of October, 1896; still less at that
time had 1 heard aught of the later re-
searches of Professor J. ]. Thomson,
r. S., of Cambridge university, England,
or that of Professor Gustav Heinrichs.

Mr.. Jupp didn't have time to dismount. I.
He just gave a dive into the rope woven
fender. Almost the same second the iron
bar of the fender struck his wheel.
The motorman's face was as white as
a sheet as he tugged at his brake. He
evidently thought that Jupp would slip
out of the fender before the car was
brought to a standstill, but Jupp held
fast. When the car stopped. Jupp clam
bered out of the fender. His face was
blanched, but when the spectators saw
that he was apparently undnjured, they
sent up rousing cheer.
Jupp was more frightened than hurt.
the only injuries he had sustained being
few slight bruises. He refused to have
the ambulance called, and went to his
home.-New York Herald.

Modern physical science seems to point
to the liability of the transmutability
of matter from one kind of matter to
another kind without undergoing chem
ical change, as the only explanation OF
the several kinds of pure matter-as the
cole cause of the indestructability or
conservatism of matter-just as trans-
mutability of the forms of energy is the
accepted explanation of the indestructa-
bility or conservation of energy.
