right ear into a room in the rear of the

left the house. declaring that he would

Electric Flash Leaps From

Ills Broadway, Dec. 13.


There was a binding flash. sharp,

the switchboard man of the Oakland
Gas. Light and Heat Company at their
electric plant at the foot of Jefferson
street, recovered consciousness he was
on the ope-a-ing table of the Receiv-
ing Hospital horribly burned.
Spalt was working at the switchboard
in the regular discharge of his duty,
when he was felled by shock that al
most cost him his life. How it oc-
Cured he does not know. He
says that Just as he reached for one
of the switches on the board there was
the swapping. cracking sound and the
binding light of an electric arc flash,
and he knew no more until he found
himself under the care Of doctors at the
hospital.
1t is believed that Spalt's clothing
was damp from the drizzling rain out
side, and that there must have been
moisture on his hands, so that when
he touched the switch the current sped
through his body That he escaped
death is considered remarkable, for
through this switchboard passes the

The University OF California has Sc
cured for lecturer at the next summer
session Sir William Ramsay of London.
the first chemist in England and who
vies with DIR. Wilhelm Ostwald of Ger
many for the distinction Of being called
the greatest chemist.
Sir William will come to California in
June next and lecture throughout the
summer session. which will extend from
June to August Z. The theme of his
lectures will be the most important
problem now before the chemists Of the
world-the phenomena of radio-activity.
which have thrown doubt on so many
of the old theories as to the perma-
nency of the elements and the essential
nature Of matter. There will also be
discussions on the gases OF the air. OF
which Sir William is the discoverer OF
number. In accepting the invitation Of
President Wheeler to the university Sir
William says:
AT present the subject of radio-ac-
tivity is absorbing my attention Mr..
Soddy, my coadjutor. and 1 have al
ready obtained very remarkable results
Of what we may regard as transmuta-
tion-the changing Of gas evolved
from radium salts into helium. think
that as a subject of lectures the ex-
ploration of the gases of the atmos-
phere might prove interesting and
novel"
The revelation OF number Of gases
in the air whose presence had never be-
fore been suspected contributed much
to the fame of Sir William. The first
of these was argon. which he discovered
in collaboration with Lord Rayleigh.
subsequently he revealed atmospheric
elements which have been named neon,
krypton and xenon, and, lastly, the ele-
ment of helium, which in relation with
radium has proved so mysterious and
astonishing
Sir William Ramsay has been pro-
fessor Of chemistry in the University
College, London, since 1887. having pre-
viously been in the department OF
chemistry at the Glasgow University
from 1874 to 1880. and professor Of
chemistry in University College. Rris-

tific honors from all parts Of the world.

The crowded cars Of the new ferry
line and the yawning emptiness Of its
own has scared the Southern Pacific
Company so that something is sure to
be done very soon TO prevent an entire
loss of a formerly good paying busi-
ness. That the company eontemplates
doing something is manifest from the
fact that its agents have been count

apparently for the purpose of ascer-
tanning how many people ride free
that distance or part Of it every day.
1t is a fact that a good many peo-
pie impose on the old company by ae-
cepting free rides on its trains through
town and then paying on the new line
when they want to go to San Fran
cisco. The only way the old company
can prevent this imposition is to put
on gates and charge fares between sta
tions, Just as it's rival does. Still, none
Of the company's officials will admit
that it is about to do anything radical
and things are going along In pretty
much the same old way.

the counting of passengers meant
gates. 1T is all for the future
Whether we will charge fares is a
matter TO be determined later"
That there has been a great falling
of in the Southern Pacific's business is
evident from the fact that while the
evening trains used to consist of nine
and ten cars. which were filled with
passengers and drawn by two engines,
there are now only five cars, with one
engine, and these cars are only half
full. There has. of course, been a cor
responding increase in the traffic OF
the new line, whose cars are hlled in

the theme Of a powerful sermon deliv-

a large congregation at the Howard
Street Methodist Episcopal Church at
Howard and Third streets. In speak
ing on the subject. Rev. DR.. Bane said
that the most important attribute of a
young man was character and that it
was the duty of all TO help in forming
good character in young men and him
dering evil influences
The reverend speaker SAID that the
future of home. state and church de-
pended on the character of the present
generation and that the conduct of a
man al the age of 21 indicated his path
in after life. Rev. DR.. Bane claimed
that the young men of to-day had far
better advantages than were possessed
by their parents and that they should
reach a higher plane in consequence
and should be better and more useful
men.
The speaker then dwelt upon the
many advantages possessed by young
men to-day and compared them with
the evils that exist and menace the fu-
ture. The young men were warned by
DR.. Bane to beware the spirit of consid-
