A Mans Myriad Ancestors.

Grandfathers and grandmotheTs are
very proud when they can boast of
having paltry score of two of de-
scendants, but no one seems to be
aware of the grounds he has for boast
ing of the number of his ancestors.
Has it ever occurred to you TO count
back in a direct line, asks writer in
London Answers? If not, try it now
and you will be astonished. At the
first remove you have two fatherand
mother At the next step you have
four-two ograndiathers and two grand
mothers.
Each OF these has had father and
mother, so you have four great-grand-
fathers and four great grandmothers.
E,ch of these again has had two par
ents, so that at the fourth generation
back you have sixteen ancestors, at
the fifth you have thirty-two, at the
sixth you have sixty-four and at the
seventh you have 12S.
As You go little further they rise
to the thousands, tens of thousands
and hundreds of thousands, so that
if all your direct ancestors for twenty
generations be added together they
amount to over a million, and if you
go back another twenty degrees they
total 1000, 900, 900, OOO-or more peo-
pie than there are in the world at the
present moment if you leave ont Asia.
Now, as forty generations are equal
to only about 1900 years, if you we're
to calculate back to the beginning of
the world you simply couldn't find
figures to express the number of your
blood relations.

A Big Engineering Work

The triumphs of modern engineers
over natural obstacles know no limit.
The latest achievement which has been
brought into public notice is the di-
version of the river Periyar from its
natural outlet in the Indinn ocean to
the bed of the Vaigai. which flows
eastward into the Bay of Bengal.
The district round Madura, in tho
Madras presidency, had long suffered
from want of water for irrigation, and
it was decided some years ngo to re-
lieve it in the manner described. The
work involved the construction Of an
enormous dam, us feet in height,
impouuding the waters Of the Periyar,
and forming lake which, when at its
highest level, will have an area of
7454 acres, or nearly twelve square
miles. An open cutting over mile
in length aud twenty-one feet wide,
followed by tunnel OF about the'same
length and with sectional area of
ninety square feet, conveys the stream
across the watershed to tue Voigai.
Eighty miles lower down it is distrib-
uted by artificial canals in the Madura
district.
To provide for floods, which at times
are very severe, an overflow saddle
has been provided in the watershed
separating the two districts, so that
when the level rises thirty-one feet
above the cutting it shall escape by
this means. The difficulty of the
work may be imagined when it is stated
that it was carried on ia au uninhab-
tied jungle, twenty miles from the
nearest cultivated land aud eighty
miles from railway station, and that,
owing to the uuheathiness Of the cli-
mate at certain seasons and the preva-
lence of floods, the engineers could
only work for three months of the
year.

Wiud.Driycu I,icycles.

No less than three attempts to cause
the wind to aid the bicycle-rider in
driving his machine have recently
been made by the inventors. one
American and two French. In the
case of the American and one of the
French inventions, an apparatus con-
structed on the plan of toy windmill
is attached to the machine, and geared
to the front wheel in such manner
that the force of the wind eau be util-
ized in turning the wheel. The third
eontriyance also acts on the principle
of the windmill, but its motor, instead
Of having fans all facing one way, is
shaped like an empty pumpkin-sheii.
with the segments slightly separated
and inclined inward The practical
usefulness of thesl devices remains Il
bs demonstrated.

snmn Atmosni eric Phenomena.

a man weighs less when the barom-
eter is high, Notwithstanding the fact
that the atmospheric pressure on him
is more than when the barometer is
low. AS the pressure of air on an
ordinary-sized man is about fifteen
tons the rise Of the mercury from 20
to 81 inches adds about one ton to the
load he has to carry.
If well could be dug to the depth
of forty-six miles, the density CT the
air at the bottom would be as great
as that of quicksilver. BY the same
law cubic inch of air taken 1000
miles above the earth's surface would
expand sufficiently to ill a sphere
1000, 600, 900 miles in diameter.

II am afraid | have greatly inter
fered with my own practice, said a
celebrated aurist. "by giving the fol-
lowing advice to many Of my friends:
bt the first symptoms of earache let
the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear uppermOst. Fold a thick
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water. Continue doing this
for fifteen or twenty minutes; the
water will fill the ear orifice and flow
over the towel. Afterward turn over
the head, let the water run out and
plug the ear with warm glycerine and
cotton. This maybe done every hour
until relief is obtained. 1t is an al
most invariable cure, and has saved
many cases of acute Inflammation.
The water should be as warm as pos
sible, but not too hot"

ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
Organization of the New Board of
Directors Yesterday

The newly elected board of directors
of the academy of sciences met yester-
day afternoon at the rooms of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association.
There were present Abbot Kinney, VIM
H. Knight, j. S. Vosburg, Prof. ]. A
Foshay, w. A. Spalding, DR.. A. David
son, B. R. Baumgardt and DR.. E. A.
Praeger Absent, DR.. j. c. Nevins, DR..
H. NJ. Bishop and j. D. Hooker.
The board organized by the election
of the following officers: President, Wm.
A. Spalding; presidents, Abbot
Kinney and DR.. A. Davidson; treasurer,
DR.. E. A. Praeger; secretary, B. r.
Baumgardt (re-elected).
1t was decided to have four standing
committees of three members each, as
follows: Publishing committee, auditing
committee, program committee and
committee on permanent quarters. The
president is to announce the appoint
ments.
The constitution and bylaws as adopt
ed by the academy were submitted and
ordered recorded
Articles of incorporation were filled
out and properly acknowledged in ac-
NOiddIl Win lllc pldii nNOPlNo a. th~
last meeting of the academy.
In accordance with suggestion of
Mr.. Baumgardt, it was voted to establish
branch of the academy at Santa Ana,
where about twenty-five people of sci
entific tastes are desirous of organizing
an auxiliary. 1t is believed that this may
be the initiative of similar affiliated or
ganizations in other principal cities and
towns of Southern California.
1t was decided to hold the meetings Of
the board on the same day as that on
which the academy holds its regular
meetings-the second Tuesday of each
month. The board will meet at 8 p. m,
and the academy at 1880 or s o'clock, ac-
cording to season.
The next meeting, June Sth, will be the
close of the academy year, after which
the usual summer vacation will be de
clared, 1t is proposed to make the June
meeting social affair. with refresh
ments and musical and literary pro-
gram. The annual reports of the officers
of the academy and chairman of the vari-
Gus working sections will be submitted
These reports, summing up the accom-
plishments Of the year, are usually al
interesting feature, and the closir4a e
meeting never fails to bring out large
attendance.

GAMBLERS WILL BE WATCHED
An Officer to Be Placed at the Entrance
of Notorious Bunco Joints

Complaints are continually being
made at police headquarters by people
who state that they have been buncoed
out of their money in either Poker Da-
Wis or Warren Kings notorious gam
bling joints. Both of these individuals
have been arrested time and again but
so far it seems impossible to obtain a
conviction in the courts.
Yesterday Chief Glass stated that he
had decided to place an officer at the
entrance to Davis joint in the Wiley
building on Broadway and at Ware
Kings place in the Allen building on the
corner of Temple and Spring streets,
whose duty it shall be to notify prospec-
tive victims of the character of the
places. This will be done today, and 1t
is hoped that it will have the effect Of
driving these two gangs of sure thing
gamblers out of town.
