Moonlight and Sunlight Compared.

The brightness of the moon is not so
much greater than the same area of the
sky, as is shown by Flammarion's sta
bles of relative amount of light" The
total light of the full moon is compared
with the total light of the sun by NJ.
Tlammarion, but in way that it would
be very hard task to reproduce it in
a readable shape in an article adapted
to this department. However, we will
say that the great astronomers deduc-
tions prove that we received as much
light from the sun as could be emitted
by $50, 900 full moons!

I've had seven doctors to examine him,

HERMOSILLO FIRE.
sm Thousand Dollar confIagration at
 the Sonora Capital.

| Tuesday morning about l:30 several
 shots were fired and the big bell on
 the cathedra. at Hermoslllo boomed
 put an alarm. The house of ST. Jose
 Camou was on fire in the corner room,
 thls being separated by only narrow
 street from Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Ex-
 press office, in the rear of which was stored considerable quantity of kero- sene oil, made the chances for gene ral coniiagration very promising. Wa ter was very scarsc and no hose at all
 The wind however was blowing in an opposite direction and the applica- tion of water with buckets, both out side and Inside of the shutters of the oil warehouse, prevented that build Ing from taking fire. The agent Mir.
 Borton, recognized the danger and re- moved a great part of the oil not how ever without considerable heavy labor. Governor Corral and Governor Fl- gueroa, Prefect Francisco Aguilar and Mayor Vicente Escalante were there but none of them took an active part, excepting the Prefcct, who. with a water brigade, proved himself good fire chief. The corner room was burned as also good part of the inside corridors. The roofs fell in about 2:30 and the fire was confined to that part of tue house. Tae fIlling of tho roof caused the heavy brick cornces to fill outward into the street The room tbat toak fire was used as store room, and continued f1raiture, winter bedding, etc all Of an inilaniable character which made q bot blaze while,it lasted. The canse Of the ire is unknown, but 1t is sup- posed to have been through some ac- cidental distribution of matches which may have been ignited by rats. The loss is estimated to be between 5000 and s6,000.

caused a loss of $780, and called out
most Of the firemen in the city broke
out this afternoon in the large seven
story building at the northeast corner
Of Greenwich and Laight streets. The
interior Of the building was destroyed.
The first floor and easements were oc-
cupled by the wholesale wine and
liquor firm of B. Dreyfus & Co., and
from the second floor to the roof r.
+. Dietz & Co. carried on the manu-
facture of metal lamps, lanterns, oil
and gas stoves. More than 100 women
and girls were gotten safely out of the
building
Primary school eleven is just back of
the burned building. Two hundred and
fifty little school children were in this
school when the fire broke out. The
scholars were marched into the main
room, where the principal kept them
quiet for time by telling them stories.
The Whistling of the engines and ring
ing OF bells was finally too much for
them, and they became uneasy. Then
they were ordered to rise and sing

made by the fremen. 1t was said the
fire had its origin in an overheated gas
