iNFALLlBlE SCIENCE.

Fi9ures for Once This Professor Had
to Admit Were Wrong.
Occasionally science must admit fail
ure. One night a young man in Divinity
hall at Yale undertook with toy rifle
to hit lamp. But his aim was poor
and the ball passed through the window
of Oh eminent and venerable professor
of science and embedded itself in the
wall.
This was the opportunity for the pro-
fessor and for science, says the Hartford
Courant. He set to work and computed
the curve, and with the exact skill of in
fallible figures he traced the ball right
back TO the room of an innocent COL
league who didn't even know the rifle.
had been fred. '~
The unhedged minister fatty denied
ALI knowledge of the affair. But men,.
even ministers, have been known to
make denials in self-defense, and the
professor had the proof with him.
There was the bullet, there were the
marks of it's course, and there was the
computation worked out. It looked as
if a pulpit career was to be nipped in the
bud.
But the guilty student heard what
WAS going on. He called on the pro-
fessor, confessed the offense, pointed
out that the man of science was 200 feet
out in his computation, and advised
that the matter be dropped right where
it was.
And that WAS done.

MEASURING THE EARTH.

The M0untatns and stars Are Doth
Called IntO Use by AstR0nOneFs.
The longest distance ever encorn.
passed by the human vision, 90 far 40
the records 60, is 1873 miles, between
the Uncompahgre peak in Colorado,
and Mount Ellen, in Utah. This feat
WINS accomplished by the surveyors Of
the United States coast and gepdetic
survey, who are now engaged, in con-
junction with representatives Of other
nations, in making . new measure
ment Of the earth, says the Philadelphia
Record, s.~S' .2s=s 5s.
The observers ON the Pacific coast
have been able to signal from Mount
Shasta to Mount Helena, distance OF
100 miles, but have never been able to
get a response. Between the two other
peaks communication has been continue
GUS for ON hour or more on several &C.
casions.
The Uncompahgre' is 14,s0O feet in
height, while Mount Ellen il 1s,4oo.
The longest distance that the human
eye ever reached until this record was
made was between Agiers and Spain,
1853 miles.
The measuring of the earth, which is
now going on, is no simple task. The
width Of the ocean can only be ascer-
tanned by astronomical observations.
The observers at Greenwich and at
Washington note each night the exact
moment of the rising of certain stars,
and then, by mathematical calcula-
tons, turn the difference in time into
distance. This is corrected and cor
roborated by other observations upon
other stars, and by Q series of expert
ments, which furnish an average that
is approximately accurate.
The difference is seldom more than
a small fraction of . second, and il at
tributed to atmospheric phenomena.
The Pacific ocean is measured in .
similar manner by joint observations
with the Lick telescope, in California,
and that of the Imperial university of
Japan, at Toxic.

would be allotted to the pacificos, and
in March the destruction of all this

was decreed by Gen. Molinas, the mill
tary governor. The last time I stood

Tools EAOA3 In ROnDAN FocA1pA1leD
Of Modern Instrnments.
Prot. Goodman says the thing that
most impressed him, when visiting
Pompeii. was the resemblance between
many Of the implements Of 1900 years
ago and those Of to-day. On looking OF
the iron tools grouped together in an
old factory there he could almost imag-
inc he was gazing into q modern tool
shop, except for the fact that there was
y heavy coating Of rust on the iron, says
Glass and Pottery Magazine.
Sickles, billhooks, rakes, forks, axes,
spades, blacksmith's tongs, hammers,
soldering irons, planes, xhovek, ETC.,
are much like those used to-day, but the
most marvellous instruments found are
those for surgery, beautifully executed
and of design exactly similar to some
recently patented and reinvented. an
credible as it may appear, Pompeiians
had wire ropes of perfect .construc-
ton. Their bronzes reveal great skill
and artistic talent. The bronze b1uzier
and kitchener had boilers at the side
: and taps for running off the water.
Ewers aud urns have been discovered
with interior tubes and furnaces pre-
cisely like the arrangement now in
vogue in steam boilers. Metal safes
had substantial locks. Many of the
locks and keys are most ingenious and
some very complex. The water supply
of Pompeii was distributed by means
of lead pipes laid under the streets.
There were many public drinking foun-
tains, and most of the large houses
were provided with fountains, many OF
them being of very beautiful design.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 4-The
Burbank Theater was gutted by fire at
$50 o'clock this morning, entailing loss
estimated at $1,000 The stage and all its
appurtenances, the boxes and the front of
the balconies were burned out, and all the
remaining portions of the interior were
badly scorched, though the walls were not
injured.
When the alarm was turned in the fire
was raging in the scenery aud flies. and
already had enveloped the properties be-
low the stage, where the flames are sup
posed to have started. AS fremen were
engaged in playing water upon the stage
a large section of the floor gave way, near
ly buryIng the men. The scenery loft was
consumed like a flash, melting the iron
roof of the theater like tinfoil.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
one theory is that it came from a smolder-
ing spark left after pyrotechniC scene in
"Erma the Elf, which has been running
at The theater this week. The night
watchman, Charles Alexander, was caught
aseep and came near being cTemated, q

The Grand Jury yesterday found an In
dictment for forgery against Allen T.
Alfred, alias T. H. Allen. One of the
witnesses in the case was F. B. Hinde, a
Pinkerton detective of Homestead ex-
perience. 1t is charged that Alfred, alias
Allen, forged a draft for 5000 on the Firs,
National Bank of this City. The indict-
ment was not presented to the court yes
terday. The accused is now sojourning at
San Quentin, having had trouble with a
bank In Los Angeles.
Mrs. Marg gueritle Morgan, the divorced
wife of Lawyer E. NJ Morgan, had hear
ing before the Grand Jury yesterday.
She desired the indictment of her ex-
husband for his completely IN palming off
baby on AisiD. The jury considered
that the offerse charged against Morgan
wac committed in 1894 and therefore
deemed il unw wise to reopen an investiga-

from whom Morgan obtained money by
fraud and deception, is not demanding a
