SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 25.-The United
States transport Sherman, bearing the
First California regiment of volunteers,
was sighted four miles outside the
heads a few minutes before = o'clock.
No one living any where within the
boundaries of San Francisco was long
in ignorance of the arrival Of the trans
port. Steam whistles shrieked, sirens
screamed, bells rang and the streets
were soon filled with cheering throngs.
The Call scored a triumph in the de-
velopment of wireless telegraphy IN
connection with the Sherman's arrival.
Receiving stations were established at
the Cliff House and on the llghtshlp
nine miles out. When news came that
The Sherman Was In Sight
it was soon followed by the cheering in
~telligence received in the same way:
"All we'll on board. No deaths during
the voyage
The premature arrival Of the Sher-
man has disarranged civic plans to a
certain extent but it has been decided
that there will be an imposing naval
pageant as the transport sails in through
the Golden Gate. The men will be
landed about noon and will be served
with an elaborate breakfast in the
broad corridors of the new Ferry build.

His Idea of Luxury.

A story is told of an Arizona prospec-
tor who, after thirty years of bad luck,
hardship and privation, finally struck
1t rich a few weeks ago in the vicinity
of Flagstaff, and sold half interest
in his prospect hole for $4,000 cash.
When the money was paid over to him
at the bank the cashier, who had
known him for long time, remarked
casually: well, Bill, what are you
goin' to do to make yourself comforta-
BILE and enjoy life, now you're got
plenty of money!"
Bill thought minute in silence, and
then, as a pleased expression brighten
ed up his rugged face, he answered:
Reckon I won't eat nothin' but
canned stuff hereafter"
That was his idea of luxury. He
had lived so long on salt pork and
heavy biscuits of his own manufacture
| that canned corn beef and tomatoes
and salmon represented to him Z

Apple Trees blossom and Bear Fruit
While You Wait-A Novel Camera.
According to the Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Transcript
the Department Of Agriculture has
taken steps toward acQuirini the right
to use a recent invention, q kind of
mutascOpe camera, designed for kind
of picture making never attempted
hitherto.
For example, the continuance is set
up In front of stalk of corn just
sprouting, ana takes photograph OF
il every hour for six months, the eX-
posures being made at such intervals
by peculiar automatic attachment.
subsequently film ribbon on which
these pictures are recorded is put into
magic lantern machine of the ordi-
nary sort and run off at the rate of
thirty q second, thus giving to the
spectators In five minutes view on
the screen Of corn plant growing out
of the earth, putting forth leaves, de-
| yeloping tassel and silk, exhibiting the
! ripened ears and finally decayibg.
Anchor this new style of camera in
an open space; attach to 1t Il wire, and
| it will make an exposure every two
hours from the beginning TO the end Of
the year. The result will be a ribbon
of the seasons, and in five minutes the
spectators seated In theatre Will have
an opportunity to behold all the sue
ceeding phenomena of the year. At
arst the ground will be seen covered
with snow, which will vanish as the
first vegetation makes It's appearance.
The trees will put forth leaves with
visible rapidity in the sight of the audi
ence. and when at last they fall and
the landscape has assumed its former
dreary aspect the white mantle of
Jack Frost Will be spread again over
the land.
One of the most interesting of the
photographs made UP to date with this
novel apparatus represents an apple
| tree, which is seen In few twinklings
| to display its new foliage, put forth
buds and blossoms and ripen its fruit.
Equally notable is picture of 4 SUM-

Some curious facts have been
brought out by Arthur Macdonald,
after a study of school children III
Washington. Their value is not very
apparent, but the Bureau Of Educa-
ton thinks them of sufficient interest
to warrant their publication. IL is
shown that from the age Of eleven to
fifteen girls are taller and heavier
than boys, but at no other time. AS
respects height when sitting, the boy
is higher at all ages sill about twelve,
but at fourteen the sitting height Of
the girl Is an inch greater than that
of the boy. Eighteen months later
the advantage is lost and at seventeen
the average boys sitting height is en-
inch more than the girls. Boys Oh
the non-laboring classes have ut all
ages O greater height and sitting
height than those of the laborine
classes. American boys excel foreign
boys in height considerably and
slightly in sitting height, but are In.
ferior in weight. On the other hand
American girls, while excolling theii
foreign sisters in height, are inferior
In sitting height and weight. White
boys are taller than colored boys
Girls maintain the average Of bright
ness for girls more steadily than dc
boys-boys have higher percentage
of dulness. Unruliness is shown to
be connected with dulness, and boy!
Of the non-laboring class are the more
unruly. There are periods of un
ruliness, with the maximum at thir
teen years and again at seventeen.

VIII Marry None but FunstOn's Men,
When the Twentieth Kansas Nolun-
teers come marching home they will
find a great many enthusiasts to wei
come them, but none will they be so
pleased to meet as the Wichita Girls
Bachelor Club, which has just passed
unanimous resolutions to marry no one
else except these men. The members
of the Girls Bachelor Club are not
aged. Their club title is a misnomer,
because all of them are young and
pretty, while most of the members are
of wealthy parents. These girls have
been great admirers of General Funs-
ton and his men.
They had long desired to show their
feelings for these Kansas soldiers, and
when the resolution was introduced 1t
went through with whOOp. Miss
Marie Williams, the author of the reso-
luton, was seen and said:
1--WE had long desired something to
stir up the girls when | thought of
this. For my part | am heartily In
favor and propose to marry no one else
but a member of the Twentieth Kan
sas Regiment. These boys, for the
most part, are unmarried, handsome
and daring fellows, and l think would
make us good husbands. / think every
girl will stick to her agreement"
