Steps Taken at San Francisco to
Establish Direct American
Line to Philippines.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE STARTS MOVE.
This Action Made Necessary by the
Treasury Department Ruling That
by the Recent Supreme Court De-
cision Shipments Cannot Be Made
in Foreign Bottoms.

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-The chamber
of commerce of this city has appointed
a committee to consider ways and
means for encouraging direct Amer
lean line of steamers to the Philippines.
The treasury department has ruled
that by the recent Philippine decision
of the supreme court, shipments may
not be made to the islands in foreign
bottoms, as it would be in Viola ton OF
the statute providing that coastwise
trade must be carried on in vessels of
United States register under penalty
of forfeiture of the shipment. The
Toyo Kisen Kaisha and Occidental and
Oriental steamship lines are thus de-
barred from handling Philippine ship
ments even though transferred to
them from American ships at Asiatlc
ports.
In view Of the supreme court deci-
sion, it is authoritatively reported
that the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany will start new line of steamers
to ply between the Philippines, Ha-
wall and San Francisco. Capt. w. B.
Seabury will start for the east next
week for Newport News to bring out
the first of the line, the steamer Corea

Odenbach at Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., Dec. "a remarkable
meteorological observation that will
undoubtedly become historical in as
tronomy was made here Friday by

The observation was that of the great
sun circle or halo of Hevelius, which
has only beer. observed three times be-
fore and probably never SO perfect.
Preceding period of low barometric
pressure, halos are often noticed
about the sun. The commonest of
these halos is one that appears at dis
lance of % degrees from the sun. An
outer halo, at distance of 46 degrees,
is also occasionally noted. But the
great halo of Hevelius, at distance of
90 degrees, as observed by Prof. Oden
bach, is a great rarity, and hundreds
of years may pass before it is observed
again. The inner circle of 90 degrees
was complete, portions of the 46 de-
gree circle were distinct, and the great
circle of Hevelius was distinct for half
its circumference.

1t is singular fact, recently demon
strated by experiments made by
French scientists, that you can not
drown an ant. The purpose of the ex-
periments was to determine how long
insects would be able to resist
asphyxiation after they had been SUBJ
merged in water. An ant immersed in
water doubles itself up and becomes
absolutely inert, but upon being re-
stored to the air comes to life in a pc
riod varying with the length of it's i'm
mersion.
