one by one the notorious highbinders
and those who backed them have dis
appeared. Some have met a tragic
death at the hands of an assassin, while
others have been compelled to seek new
helds in order to avoid the clutches of
the law. Still others are serving long
terms in the state prisons at Folsom
and San Quentin. During the past an
Dther change has been brought about
and Chinatown has lost two of its most
prominent and influential members.
Wong Chung left a few days ago for
San Francisco, from which place he
sailed yesterday for his former home
near Canton, China.
This simple announcement may seem
of little concern to the general public.
but those business men in Los Angeles
who have dealings with the Chinese
will readily recognize the fact that "the
Hanna of Chinatown left when Wong
Chung departed, and his place will be
hard to fill.. Chung Is now 4S years of
age. He came to this city fifteen years
ago and commenced work in a vegetable
garden. After he had accumulated 500
he went into business on his own ac-
count. He was shrewd, soon became
accustomed to American ways, took
readily to the English language, which
he speaks remarkably well. was
early on the road to prosper
ity and as result of his labors he takes
back to China $4,000. A leading mer-
chant of this city states that the amount
may exceed this sum.
One month ago he decided to return to
his native land to witness the marriage
of his son. Accordingly he sold his
large restaurant, general merchandise
store and three lottery companies, all
.of which are located on the corner Of
Alameda and Marchessault streets, and
started for the Orient to remain per-
manently. Chung has made three pre-
vious trips across the water to visit his
three wives. He leaves two here, one
of whom has two small children, the
other being considered the belle of
Chinatown on account Of her youth and
beauty. The report that he sold them
prior to his departure is stoutly dis
credited by his fellow countrymen.
Wong Fun, another unusually intelll-
gent Chinaman. has also decided to
leave. He has disposed of his store on
north Los Angeles street and expects to
depart shortly for San Francisco, where
he says better inducements are offered
for business. He has been living here
eleven years and Is well known, espe-
cialiy about the courts where he often
acts as interpreter. He, too, has made
himself a power in Chinatown. AS sec
retary of the Chinese board of trade he
has rendered valuable assistance during
La Fiesta Wong Fun is a personal
friend Of Wong Chung and many Celes-
tials have tried to induce him to take
Chung's place as their leader, but he
has definitely made up his mind to
leave for pastures new.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Academy of Sciences was held last even
ing at its rooms, 330H South Spring
street, with a good audience present.
The meeting was called to order by the
president, w. A. Spalding, who intro
duced the speaker of the evening. Pro-
fessor J. ]. Montgomery. Of the uni
versity of the Pacific, at Santa Clara.
Cal.
The subject of the lecture was "The
Mechanics Involved in a Birds Wing In
Soaring and Their Relation to Aeronau-
tics" The lecture was illustrated
throughout with chart drawings, and
was listened to with studious interest
by the audience. The fight Of birds. said
the speaker, had always been subject
Of interest to mankind. 1t Is the very
poetry of motion and encourages the
hope that man may sometime navigate
the air. In the flight Of birds man has
had perfect model of arcrial naviga-
tion, but he has failed to follow the
model. After the failures in individu-
ais, societies and organizations had
taken up the subject but as yet with no
practical results. This failure may
be attributed to the lack Of recognition
Of the fundamental principles that un-
derlie the action of soaring.
Wing action and soaring are based on
the same elementary laws. Soaring

to explain the underlying principles of
the action of soaring. Men who have
worked at the problem of aerial navi-
cation have assumed too much; they
have initiated the bird blindly without
the secrets Of the air. The
phenomenon Of soaring was explained
in detail and illustrated by drawings
in the charts.
At the close Of the lecture discussion
ensued, some of the members differing
from the speaker and others requesting
fuller explanations of various state
ments. All questions were answered
fully and courteously by the speaker.
The following named were presented
for membership: Frank F. Davis, Mr.
