SUNDAY OPENING IN LONDON
Results Of the Experiments at tn

Results or Cne experiments at C0e
Galleries and Museums.
The Sunday opening of the national
galleries in London has just come to
an end The national museums will
continue to keep their doors open
throughout the winter These two facts
forms the subject of a talk which had
yesterday with Mark H. Judge, the
honorary Secretary of the Sunday So
ciety
Sunday opening in London he said,
Commenced at the South Kensington
Museum on Easter Sunday, 1896. Be-
fore the end of May the whole of the
museums and galleries were open on
Sunday"
What is the verdict upon the move
ment?"
1T can be no other than that 1t has
been attended by great success. There
has been a. steady growth in the par
ticipation, Of the public. On an average
10, 600 people, | should fancy, have Wis
tied the national museums and CALLER

mind also that Sunday opening has

at the National Gallery was just over
500. If you were to take these figures
of the previous Sunday, when the
weather was good. you would have an
attendance there of close upon 5000 :"
Now, why are the galleries to close
during the winter, while the museums
keep open?"
'sWell, the trustees of the national
galleries decided from the first to close
during the autumn and winter months.
Already we have been able to get the
season heightened by two months, one
in the autumn, the other in the spring.
Our argument, needless to tell, is that
galleries and museums alike should be
open during the winter"
THE nation pays the piper in both
cases, does it not %
.Quite so. The question of artificial
light is hardly an answer in relation to
the galleries, because at some of the
museums artificial light has not been
used. Simply they have been kept
open while daylight lasted, and that
plan could be followed by all the gal
leries Where there is artificial light
we contend that it should be used so

open in the evening"
You want Sunday opening on a more
complete scale?''
Certainly The present position you
may describe as a close time for art.
Well, why should there be close time
for art any more than for science?
Why shut gallery and have mu-
scum open? Some people would say
that the study of art was more nearly
allied to religion than the study of
science. Certainly art and theology get
into fewer controversies than arise be-
tween science and theology"
.Is there any sort of opposition left
to Sunday opening?"
practically the opposition has ceased
The societies which took that line have
members in both houses of Parliament.
Yet no word of opposition was offered
in Parliament to Sunday opening. 1t
was said that people would be attract

FATAL RAIL ACCIDENT.

Alameda Local ON the NaTTOW
Gauge Line Jumps the Track.
ALAMEDA, Feb. 1.-The Alameda
local train on the narrow gauge line
jumped the track on Central avenue at
the Second street switch yesterday aft
ernoon at SIP o'clock. The engine, No.
|19, toppled over sidewise, carrying
down Engineer Henry H. Jonas and
escaped immediate death, but sustain
ed frightful, if not fatal, injuries.
In the seven cars of the train several
hundred passengers were severely sfak-
en- up, and some of them badly bruised.
None are believed to be dangerously
injured. Those, passengers in the front
coach, or smoker, which left the track
and partly turned over, had a narrow
escape The overturned engine fell
crosswise on the track and brought the
smoker to a full stop. This hurled the
passengers from their seats and a scene
of confusion ensued
Engineer Jonas was pinioned under
the cab. He lay on his back, with his
arms extended, the hot steam scalding
the flesh from his face. His right leg
was broken in two places just above the
ankle He inhaled the steam, scalding
his mouth and throat. Physicians be-
lieve that he will die. During three
quarters of an hour while he lay PIN
toned he retained consciousness.
Fireman Golson was on the upper
side of the overturned cab and was
thrown out as the cab twisted around.
He is in precariOus condition.

every part of the scalp is washed rinse
the hair and head with baths of water.
the first being the temperature of that
used for washing the hair, and the last
ordinarily cool, the baths between hav-
ing been gradually graded. To get such
bath for the head it is only necessary
to hold ones head over the basin and
have the water from a small pitcher
poured over it. Each bath necessitates
the wringing out of the hair until it is
quite free from soap suds, and until the
water is as clear as before it went over
the head
When the hair is shampooed it is wise
to put on a, loose wrapper that cannot
be injured either by water or soap. It
is not advisable to use a fan in drying
the hair, as it has been found to give
many women severe colds, nor can one
recommend loose Turkish toweling for
rubbing the hair, since it is apt to leave
tufts of white cotton all through it;
but for the first rubbing use thick,
hard Turkish towel, and after that rub
the hair and the head with ordinary
towels, which have been made hot for
this purpose You will be surprised to
see how quickly and comfortably the
hair dries.
Do not put the hair up until it is
perfectly dry, or it will remain damp
for a long time and have close, moldy
and altogether undesirable smell about
it. Use as few hairpins as you pos
sibly cam.

SMALLPOX AT Los ANGELES.
Disease Increasing in Southern
California City.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.-In spite of
the precautions taken by the Health
Department to prevent the spread Of
smallpox, the disease is increasing in
this city. Three new cases developed
to-day, making fifteen cases since the
disease was first discovered here sew
eral weeks ago.
Health Officer Powers stated to-day
that he considered it necessary that
every person take all precautions pos
sible, that they do not expose them
selves to contagion of any disease. He
recommends immediate vaccination as
a precautionary measure. He says the
condition is not necessarily alarming at
present, but it is such as requires that
every possible precaution be taken to
prevent a spread of the disease.

"A NEW PEARL FACTORY.
Jewels Made to Order by Another
Mollusk Than the Pearl OYSTER.

The pearl is the product of partic-
ular kind of oyster, the meleagrina
This mollusk, which prefers a residence
in tropical seas, manufactures the pearl
out of the same material that it uses
to line its own shell. The substance
is secreted and deposited by degrees.
so that a considerable period of time
is required to produce a pearl of any
size. ~bVif
Many attempts have been made to
induce this oyster to overlap foreign
objects that have been introduced with
in it's shell with it's peculiar secretion,
and thus to turn out more pearls than
were on its original order-book. Grains
of sand, bits of wire and other things
have been so used. Sometimes The ex-
pertinent is fairly successful, but the
oyster is often able to eject the in
truGed object. And even when this re-
suit does not follow, the pearl produced
in this manner can often be distin-
guished by an expert from the enc that
is pearl all the way from surface to
center.
Another illustration of the willingness
of the meleagrina to deposit the prec-
ious coating upon anything that is
pldNCu WILLIE ft5 SAlCH - chlOA uCd Ny
the practice of the Chinese of introduce
ing images of Buddha, which are COW
cred with a thin layer of .nacreous"
material and then are removed.
At recent meeting of the Paris Acad-
envy of Sciences an account of expert
ments made within the last year or
two with another kind of bivalve was
presented. The experiments were made
+. al
known and abundant mollusk called
haliotoid or abalone, the lining of whose
shell resembles that of the pearl oys-
ter. He introduced foreign matter to
the shell of a haliotoid, and in order to
prevent the creature from getting rid
of it he cemented it to the inner sur
face of the shell, first having inserted
it through a small hole bored in the
shell itself.
The mollusk proceeded to cover the
object with pearly layers, and in time
built up globule of much beauty and
value The resemblance of the Jewel
thus made to a genuine pearl is said to
be so close that experts cannot tell the
difference. If proceedings are begun
with bead of "nacre," or motEer-of-
pearl, the experiment is more likely to
yield satisfactory results than other
wise.
There are two interesting aspects to
this discovery. One is that the produce
ton of pearls need not be confined to
a solitary species of shellfish, and the
other is that it is not necessary to kill
the mollusk in order to secure its pro-
duct. 1t seems to be practicable to Gull
tivate both the meleagrina and abalone
for their pearls, and to repeat the oper-
alton indefinitely without sacrificing
the goose that lays the pearly eggs.
Both revelations suggest that the price
of pearls will eventually be lower than
at present. And, though there may not
be such an abundance that one can af-
ford to throw them before swine, at
least there is prospect that the sup
ply will soon be materially increased
