Daily Occupntion.

1t rs not unusual to Danish from this
portion of life any idea or hope of peace.
That is kept for the evening, when labor
is over, and the comforts of home and
rest take its place; or it is reserved for
the evening of life, when exertion ceases
and energy droops; or it is relegated to
some time in the future, when sufficient
means have been secured to make work
appear unnecessary. 1t stands for the
realization in some way of ease, COM
fort, leisure, luxury, opportunity. On
the other hand, toll, effort, hardship,
struggle are all put in opposition to it.
Thus men will often live lives of labor
and sacrifice, hoping by this means to
obtain peace and tranquility when the
toll is over. But, to unite the two, to
enjoy peace in toll, tranquility in effort,
seldom occurs to them. Yet no peace
worth having exists without power, and
power must have its outlet in activity.

| California; Chief City VIII Soon
Reach Sen Level and Disappear.
1.-The whole peninsula on which San
Francisco stands has been and is grad
ually sinking down to the sea level,
said Prof. Andrew c. Lawson, the retir-
ing president of the University of Cali
| fornia Scientific association, while de-
| liyering his farewell address before
that body recently at Berkeley. The
subject of the lecture was The FLOOD
ing of the Golden Gate"
Nearly all parts of the earth's sur
face show the phenomena OF uplift or
depression" said Prof. Lawson. Move
ments of this kind are either continent
al or orogenic. 1t is necessary to have
in mind the criteria of these two move
ments. The criteria of the uplift are
found in the presence of terraces and
sharply shaped canyons. The criteria
of depression arc shown when deltas
are built up at the mouths of rivers,
when the sea foods into the valleys.
Some time this depression continues to
such degree that mountains become
islands, sinking, as it were, to their
knees In the water. Greece is such
mountainous region up to it's knees in
the sea.
From Puget sound to Behring sea
we have n depressed coast. The shore
from the straits of Fuca to Cape Men
docino shows evidence of uplift and also
slight depression afterward. From
Cape Mendocino to Russian river there
has been constant uplift. But from
this point TO the Bay of Monterey the
region after having been elevated has
been marked by a great sag. 1t is to
that sag we owe the Bay of San Fran
cisco, Bolinas Bay, brakes bay and
Tomales bay. They are stream valleys
invaded by the waters of the ocean. This
fact is very noticeable in Lake MERGED.
1t is clearly valley formed by juncture
of several streams. The lake has been
invaded by the sea and now its bottom
is ten feet below the sea level.
"The phenomena of depression are
also seen ut Richardson's bay and at
San Rafael and Napa. The river val
leys are filling up and making tidal
marshes. More positive evidence is
found in the swamp material in the
Oakland estuary, taken 20 feet below
the tide. The bay has been invaded by
the sea and flooded the river valleys.
IAN this subsistence is of compare
lively recent geological change and
may go deeper. / am not sure of the
downward movement at the present
time. 1t is hard to catch it on the move.
Probably the whole of the San Francis
CO peninsula is going down as the maxi
mum effect of the great sag that made

OUTSIDE CLEANING.
A Work That Is Too Often Neglected
by Housekcepers.

The last parts of a house TO be cleaned
are the piazza and the various portions
of the base which are spattcred with
mud stains after the winter SHOWS and
spring rains. This is work which
many housekeepers neglect or relegate
to the outside workers. In small
house, where the immediate premises
of the house. as well as the inside, are
under the care of the housekeeper, this
is certainly part of the housekeeping.
If all parts of the woodwork of the
| piazzas and the base of house, as far
as il is splashed with mud, be carefully
cleaned il adds great deal to its neat
appearance. II is not often necessary
10 do this work more than twice ayear,
at the season of the semi-annual clean
ings. a good stepladder is necessary
for this work, one of the light-handled
ceiling brooms used to sweep ceilings,
and other brushes. Brush the ceiling
of the piazzas, thoroughly removing all
cobwebs and dust. Dust the openwork
cornice and the balustrade and wipe
them off with damp cloth. Brush off
the side of the house, the window casing
and the blinds included in the piazza in
clear, cold water. unless the blinds have
been already washed and wiped with
the other blinds when the inside of the
house was cleaned. Sometimes the dark
woodwork of the piazzas may be inn
proved by rubbing thoroughly with a
mixture of two parts pure and raw lin
seed oil and one part turpentine. This
removes the gray look which in time
dark paint often assumes. The oil must
be thoroughly rubbed in with firm cot
ton cloth, if it is used. The base of the
piazza and house above the stonework
should be thoroughly brushed with n
stiff broom, and then busted. Brush
the stopework of the foundation also.
See that the sod grows close to the
house to keep the foundations from be-
ing muddy. A foot or more of clean
gravel is sometimes placed next the
foundations of a house to prevent them
being splashed. 1t is better protec-
bles are used. Where there is no such
protection, every rain spatters the
house more or less, and no care can
keep it neat. After thoroughly busting
the base of the piazza and house take
pail of cold water and stiff whisk
brush and scrub over it's surface, using
a soft cloth to dry it as fast as il is
washed. Change the water as often as
1t becomes too sandy TO use. and con-
tinue the work until it is done. The
base of house should always be paint
ed rather dark color, not light shade,
as so many houses are. A light base is
not only more easily soiled and requires
more care to keep in order, but it gives
the house weak look, inconsistent
with the dignified. substantial appear
nnce which dwelling house should
haven. Y. Tribune.

ming each year, while of 10000 church

are struck by lightning annually. An
endeavor has been made to explain this
condition by the fact that the smoke
discharged from the smokestack takes
the electricity assembled around the
building along and distributes it in tho
mir, whereby the source of attraction
for the electric spark of lightning is
not only diminished, but almost disap-
