CARDINAL is DISPLAYED
ON THE BERKELEY HILLS
Stanford Students Burn Red Fire
Near the Abiding Place of
Their Opponents.

Berkeley, ordinarily resplendent
with gold and blue, blazed with the
cardinal color for several hours last
night. About 1880 o'clock the Cali
fornia students were amazed to find
the staid hills around Berkeley blaz-
ing with the cardinal color, the whole
sky aflame with the Stanford hue. An
invading party hurried up to disperse
the trespassers, but the birds had
flown, only a hot ash pile showing
where the enterprising- Stanford men
had been. This is the second time the
cardinal contingent has surprised
Berkeley. Last year a big block ''S''
was raised in the dead of night on
Goat Island and while the California
bands of rooters passed on the boats to
San Francisco this Stanford "S'
hurled defiance at them, for they
dared not land to take 1t down. The
men from Palo Alto claim this burn
ing of cardinal flame on the Berkeley
hills is but a beginning and many new
and startling features will be intro
duced on the bleachers tomorrow.

ANDERSON'S HIT COUNTS
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The eighth spasm seems to be the
one where the Seals figure. They
never had a peep in till then yester-
day at Recreation Park, when they
rallied long enough to bring home the
coin. On the previous day they rout-
ed the Siwashes in the same fatal pc
riod. 1t was hair-raiser all the way
and the run in the eighth was the
only one in the game.
That disastrous base on balls that
has broken up many good ball
game was the turning point Of the
struggle yesterday. Hall issued II to
Van Buren, after one had been chased
to the bench in the eighth. Then
Waldron tapped to Russ Hall, who
threw to Delmas with the intention
of making fast double play. Del
failed to mitt the ball and both were
safe. Along came Wooden Shoes Andy
Anderson with a drive out to left field.
Van Buren raced for the plate and
arrived safe and sound with one that
was due for so long.
Hall tossed a swell game of ball, al
lowing only three hits. Although the
Siwashes gained seven from the offer
ings OF Barber he was steady at all
times and was always there. He also
had a little luck and was backed in
splendid style. Score:

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. IL
Charles Neary of Milwaukee and
Tommy Mowatt of Chicago fought six
fast rounds to draw before the Bad

fifth round, shortly after the pugilists
got together, Neary delivered hard

him. Near the end Of the fifth round
in a hot mix-up Mowatt staggered
Neary with stiff left to the jaw.

Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. lit would
be difficult to imagine more listless
or a more uninteresting ball game
than the one to-day between Los An
geles and Portland. The Angels won
as they pleased, outplaying the north
erners in every department of the
game. Ross phenomenal catch of
line drive in left center was the only
feature that relieved the monotony.

Two Ualy Mon,

The Due de Roquelaure was a
man of great ugliness and much hu-
NOR. One day he met in the street
most nnlovely looking Auvergnat,
who had some petition or memorial
to- present at Versailles. He imme-
diately introduced himself to Louis
XIV, remarking that he was undes
q special obligation to him. The
king granted the favor asked for
and then inquired Of the due what
might be the nature of the obliga-
ton. "But for him, your majesty,
I should be the ugliest man in your
dominionsw
I am reminded Of Heidegger, the
manager Of the opera house in the
Haymarket when George II. was
king. One day he laid wager with
the Earl Of Chesterfield that he
would not find in all London an
uglier face than his. After q long
search the earl produced q woman
OF st. Giles who at first seemed to
outvie the manager, but when the
latter put on the woman's headgear
his superior ugliness was at once
admitted.-All the Year Round.

company "be sure to drop in at

railroad accident yesterday. Ex-
press mine also TO him"
"But old Curmudge had no broth
er in the accident" said the can
vasser.
"What has that to do with itp''
said the secretary cheerily. Cali he
can do Is to tell you so."
But it might unnecessarily alarm
him." persisted the canvasser.
"Thst's the point; that's exactly
the point" returned the secretary
cheerily. "Alarm him as much as
possible. His own policy runs out
next month, and it is one of our
duties to remind our patrons that
in the midst Of life we are surround

a teaspoonful of salt. This liquid,

tato water and salt, will, if it is

The bald listener laughed.
Potato water is a new one" he
said scornfnlly.
"New and fne," returned the bar
Der. "Do you see how good my hair
is? Well, | was nearly as bald as
you are once. / used potato water
three times week for three months.
Look at the result"
"I'll tell you some of the tonics
that have been recommended to
me-" said the baldhead.
"First, coal oil-coal oil rubbed
into the scalp every night before
retiring. Can you imagine any man
sinking o coal oil drenched head
among his pure white pillows?
"Sage tea. 1 made some sage tea
once, and the mixture had so vile
and forbidding a look that I could
not apply it.
"Onion juice. That no doubt is
q good tonic. But what would nv
friends say if I should always be
thrusting under their noses a head
scented with onions?
"Black molasses. A Kentuckian
actually advised me last year to try
black molasses.
"Hemlock, soap and vinegar. That
is q tonic that Maine barber swears
by. Seaweed and apple seeds boiled
in sea water is o sailors recipe. Dan
delion tea, plaintain tea and a tea
made of honeysuckle are the tonics
that Boston masseur suggested to

STAR DISTANCES.
The Method by Which These Arc Meas.
ursd by Astronomers.

The Method by Which These Arc Meas.
unsd by Astronomers.
What is the length Of this roomf
ANY one can make this simple meas.
urement with two foot rule. How
far is il from this house 20 the end
OF the street, This question also
can be answered easily with q sur.
yeyors tsppe measure. But how
many people ever think of the pos.
sibility OF measuring the distance
OF an inaccessible object? To dis.
cover how far away q thing is when
we cannot reach it in order to meas.
ure the distance-this is problem,
OF very different kind. And when
the distant goal Of measurement is
one Of those luminous stars from
which we are sundered by the pro.
found depths of space, when chat
object is not only sup1eInely inac-
cessible, but also remote to degree
as nearly infinite as the human mind
can grasp-in such. case the prob
lem of distance is not merely one
of attractive difficulty; it is one tha.
stirs the imagination strongly.
Bessel was the first to solve this
observational problem. His method
was simple enough. We have seen
that the actual quantity Of parallac-
tic change in a stars position d.
minishes with the stars distance.
Consequently we have but to meas.
ure the amount Of this change in
order to have at once an estimate
of the stars distance.
So Bessel selected his star on ac-
count of its large motion, as indi.
Gated by the older star catalogues.
His method Of observation, like
every method destined FOR conspic-
uous success, was perfectly simple.
Two email auxiliary stars were Sc.
lected near the one under observa-
tion for parallax. Every observing
night Bessel measured the exact dis.
tance on the face of the sky between
each small star and the paralIax
star. He judged quite correctly
that these two insignificant objects
must really be almost infinitely far
from us. If such was the case, they
must be perfectly free from anyDap
preciable iarallactic shift, even ac-
cording to the Copernican theory.
II, on the other hand, the suspected
star really is near us, it must suffer
parallactic changes, and these must
make it appear to swing back and
forth during the year between the
two auxiliary stars.
Bessel did not depend upon the
ordinary astronomical telescope. He
was provided with q more accurate
measuring contrivance than had
ever been used before his time. This
instrument, called a heliometer, is
especially adapted for the most pre-.
else determination of short dis.
tances on the sky-such distances
as those separating his parallax star
from the two auxiliary ones. With
it he was able to determine exactly
the parallactic changes in his Stars
position, and he proved that these
changes satisfied perfectly the
mathematical conditions tha& gov.
efn motions Of this kind.-Profess.

Weekly.

Smith had been twenty.one years in

riot, during which q sheriff's deputy
was killed. Smith was scopssd Of the
