THANKSGIVING AS AN ART.

The Prague Clock.

Since the middle of the fifteenth century
the city of Prague has possessed remark
able clock, the machinery of which is most
complicated. The dial, which is between
6 and s feet across, has a number of hands,
which mark not only the minutes and the
hours, but also the days, months, years
and centuries. OF this clock IA poet tells
us;
AT the left of the dial skeleton stands,
And aloft hangs musical bell in the tower,
Which he rings by a rope that he holds in his
hands
In his punctual function Of striking the hour.
But tho funniest sight of the numerous sights
Which the clock has to show to the people be.

The Origin of Golf.

The first golf appears to be lost in OBJ
security and its earliest history entwined
with that of several countries claiming its
parentage. Whether as distinct game it
came originally from Holland or whether
it is the evolution of several games born

ing what might have been n prototype

vOlVed in What Is Called a
Friendly Suit,

An action at law, said to be friendly
suit, was instituted yesterday afternoon
by Attorneys Stanley, McKinstry, Bradley
q Mckinstry on behalf of the Croker Es-
tate Company against Henry I. Scott and
I. Il. Green, executors of the will of the
late Colonel Charles F. Croker The
amount involved is 1921, 100 L. The Pa

According to the complaint on file in
the Superior Court there existed at the
time OF Colonel Crocker's death an open
account between him and the Pacific I'm

In an interview with A. G. ,EeIls, an
attorney we'll versed in land cases. this
gentleman said: We'll l have not given
the question much thought up to the
present time, further than to saw the land
never should have been sold. But, inas-
much as it has been. t. next best thing is
10 get 1t back. This, to my mind, without
consutin the authorities on the subject,
does not appear difficult.
Inc Supervisors have the power to
declare that the city needs the land and
then com mence suit in the Superior Court
under the authority of the law as laid
down in the Code of Civil Procedure on
the same principle as any other action
may be commenced. The Jury before
whom the case is tried will determine not
only the value of the properay, but the
title thereto, and then assess the damages
vi course the right OF appeal lies in this
class of cases as in any other. The pur-
chase money must be paid within thirty
DAYS after final judgment.
Under the laws of the State governing
municipal indebtedness an election for
the issuing of bonds can be held by the
action of the municipal authorities, as
was done in Oakland for the building of
schools few years ago."
A. n. Drown, an ATTORNEY of ripe expe-
rlehce, was more conservative in his opin-
ions, yet he was in full accord with the
general pubic in condemning the policy

There cannot, to my mind, be very much
difficulty in having 1t condemned. OF
course. ii an issue is raised, l presume the
Supervisors must show that it is a neces-
sity for some public purpose.
This being shown and proven TO the
satisfaction of the court there would be
no trouble in having it condemned. The
question of paying for it is, however,
another problem. Under the laws, an

Important Communication From Sec
rotary Wilson Regarding the
Fig Moth.

At the meeting of the State Board OF
Trade yesterday afternoon report was
heard from the committee appointed TO
investigate into the advantage of hav ng
a California exhibit at the coming Paris
Exhib Ition of 1900.
The committee recon- amended that the
secretary at once address United States
Commissioner Moses Handy al Washing
ton in reference 10 securing not less than
u 900 to 10, 900 square feet of space at the
exposition. The secretary was also in
structed to address the State Horticultural
Society, State Viticultural College, Manu-
factrrers' and Producers Association,
Miners Association, Dairy mems Associa-
ton, the State Board OF Education, the
proper authorities on forestry and all
other industries which have organizations,
for the purpose OF ascertaining what In
their opinion, would be an adequate salts
factory and comprehensive exhibit of
these industries and what such exhibits
would cost.
The matter of advertising San Francis
co.'s commercial wealth was then dis
Cussed, and it was generally agreed that
this could best be done by means of a
typographical map showing the location,
surroundings, ETC., OF this city and the ad-
bduldScs VI 4AS p4CnA4N l4o4 bOAs ~ W as
estimated that such map would cost not
less than $4,000.
A letter from the headquarters of the
Joint committee, which is working TO pro-
mote a department of commerce and
industry, and requesting the cooperation
of the board in this matter led 10 much
discussion, but 1t was finally decided that
while the Board of Trade will not oppose
such a movement it will not push 1t for
ward, as California wants a mines and
mining officer in the Cabinet.
Colonel Irish was appointed to represenI
the board at the State convention of the
miners, which will open next Monday in
Willingness OF the board 10 cooperate

In answer to & request made for space

received from the Harbor Com missioner;
10 the effect that similar application had
been made by the State Mining Bureau
and that no definite answers can be given
until the building is completed.
A communication was recently for
warded to Secretary Wilson requesting
him TO interest himself in the i'm portatIon
of the Blastophega, or tig moth, and the
Capri fig. In reply he stated he had con-
suited the ntomologist on the subject
and had ascertained that the only way to
secure the moth is to import Capri tig trees
with fully developed figs and employ an
experienced man to watch their growth
and development. There are no funds
with which to do this at present, but he
has hopes OF soon being able to accom-
plish the desired result.

Judge f. w. Van Revnegom excused
him self on the plea of pressure of private
business from giving an opinion further
than by saying that he was in full accord
with the n ovement, and saw no obstacles
in the way from legal point of view of
the people obtaining the property if they
make up their minds to do so. suit
brought for that purpose would determine
the fact.
A. J. Clunie, Insurance Commissioner
and an attorney OF experience in local
matters, saw no obstacles in the way from
legal standpoint. Similar actions had
been brought before on the extension OF
Van Ness avenue and the widening of
Mission street, and in both cas- S the city
won. He was hopeful that the matter
would be pushed to a finish now, as it
was just the thing above all others that
was needed to make Market street in front
of the hall look as it should, without hav-
Ing the building hidden behind a cluster of
rookeries.
