ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
The Astronomical Section Met Last
Evening

The regular monthly meeting of the
astronomical section of the Southern
California Academy of Sciences was
held last evening at the residence of
John d. Hooker 325 West Adams street,
with about twenty-five present. b. r.
Baumgardt presided and the paper of
the evening was read by w. A. Spalding
on .'The New Philosophy of Light and
Heat"
Mr.. Spalding advanced the theory tina t
the energy received from the sun is
not in the form of heat and light energy,
but electrical energy. That this cleo
trical energy, encountering the obstruc-
tions of the atmosphere, is partially con-
verted into heat and light, and thus, in
a certain sense, heat and light are Gre
ated for us in our own atmosphere. That
electricity is, in fact, the first manifesto
ton of force in nature; that it permeates
the earth and gives vitality to all ami
NAL and vegetable life, and furnishes the
source of molecular motion. The sun
is not necessarily a ball of fire, but may
be body with an atmosphere; in fact,
scientists are now beginning to concede
an atmosphere to it.
This, very briefly, is the ground Mr..
Spalding took and Prof. Miller of the
State university of Kansas spoke to the
paper, and general discussion followed.

tumbling down upon them.
The landslide occurred at lis o'clock
in the afternoon, shortly after the men
had come from their lunch. A force OF
men was put to work in the morning to
repair a break in zanja No. 7, at the
point mentioned. At that place the ditch
runs along the bluff in southerly di-
rection about ten feet from the top and
five or six feet from the bottom of the
embankment. A break occurred in the
ditch a few days ago, and the bank
which has been built opposite the high

on his way to Opaline. He goes there

property which he and his partners

The bond has not yet been taken up,
it probably will be in the course of

The best definition we have ever seen

mines. He announces that 'rock in
place shall be deemed to mean and in
clude minerals not necessarily in vein
or lode; that is when discovered in the
same place or position in which it was
originally formed or deposited, as dis
tinguished from loose, fragmentary or
broken rock or float, which by decom-
position is found in wash gravel or
sand. Valuable deposits of mineral
shall mean and include mineral in
place in appreciable quantity, having a
present or prospective value sufficient
to justify exploration"

difficult matter to construct road to
Pittsburg Landing, on Snake river,
from which point the river is navigable
to Lewiston and Riparia. But to any
point above Pittsburg Landing, reach
ing such point by the river or from

al. The rapids and rocks in the river
prohibits all navigation, and the pre-
cipitous character Of the mountains
from the camps to the river prohibit
the construction of roads.

Dawson City.

Dawson City is perhaps the only cit!
in the world of its kind. But wonder.
full as it is the town looks rude and the
reception accorded the newcomer
from civilization is not such as to make
him feel much at home. The best
houses in Dawson City are log cabins
and but few have doors, windows OF
floors, something common people are
fastiduous enough to call necessities
The majority of the habitations are
tents and poor ones at that. The sight
of the cans and bags filled with the
magic yellow metal, and the careless
manner in which they are handled, i'm
presses the stranger immensely. He
gets the natural idea that all he has to
do is to go out in the suburbs and dig
what gold he may want; the sight of
gold infatuates him; he would suffer
any privation and hardship for the
possession of the magic metal.
1 have spent winter and summer in
that dreary country, and 1 do not know
which is worst, the biting, unmerciful
cold winter or the humid heat of sum
mer. But fearful as the climate of this
country is, there is one thing certain.
that is, there is gold and in such guam
titles that will astonish and perhaps
perplex the financial world by lowering
its price.
You do not see any little children
trudging to school in Dawson City, for
the reason that there are neither child
rem, schools or streets. 1t is city of
men, maddened by the sight of gold, as
pack of wolves are that have scented
blood; still there is order and justice
that strikes swift, sure and certain.
Shrewd business men really have
better chance of making money than
the miner, hundreds of instances could
be cited where fortunes have been
