tiOnS to Test Regularity

Ian, who recently undertook the prose-
cution Of ballot-box suffers, and As
sistant District Attorney FerraI. The

ton or two which, to their mind. would
add TO the certainty of the regularity
Of the drawing. They inspected the
seal placed on the tin cylinder by Judge
kerrigan after the drawing Of the
names for the jury last June. They
were shown the slips bearing the names
Of the eleven men excused at that time
and these slips. which have been in
Judge Kerrigan's custody, were re-
turned to the box.
The interested spectators were then
informed that there were 125 names in
the box, and Mr.. Symmes asked if the
court felt certain that none were miss
ing. The Presiding Judge replied in the
affirmative, but to crafty the gentle
men he directed that the slips be
counted. They were dumped upon the
desk and as Mr.. Greif returned them
one by one to the cylinder Court Clerk
John Riley kept tally. There were 125.
The draw then proceeded, with the
following result:

Claims San Franciscans
Advance for Facilities

Forty banks. all the commercial or
ganizations Of San Francisco and a
large number of leading business con-
Germs have, in the last three days
signed a petition asking the Califor-
MIA Congressional delegation to urge
upon the Postoff1ce Department the
construction of two pneumatic mail
tubes in this city for the purpose OF
expediting the local mail service.
A commission that was sent here
some months ago to investigate the
feasibility of having an underground
pneumatic mail tube service reported
favorably. 1t was recommended by
the commission that a tube should be
constructed from the foot of Market
street to the new general postoffice at
Seventh and Mission; also a tube from
Mission and New Montgomery streets,
postoffice station X, TO the railroad
depot at Third and Townsend streets.
The two tubes that were recon-
mended some months ago to the Post

Migration of Birds.

Highly valuable observations have been
made of late years with regard to the
migrations of birds. and some of the
facts now definitely ascertain upset many
of our popular beliefs. In a communica-
ton on the subject to London Nature. w.
Eagle Clarke, who has devoted large
amount of time to the inquiry. points ont
that "a considerable proportion OF our
native-brcd song thrushcS. blackbirds.
skylarks, starlings. rocks, lapwings and
other species. which are usually regarded
as being wholly resident throughout tie
year, are migratory; indeed. they are as
essentially summer visitors ia our isles
as the swallow and the cuckoo" 7. is a
curious fact that many birds of the con-
tinent cross over the narrower part of
the North sea to this country for the
winter-no doubt because of our milder
climate. Some of these stay in England,
others prefer Ireland, and some leave
for more southern lands Mr.. Clarke,
through long residence on the Eddy
stone lighthouse. found that the birds
are capital meteorologistS, taking adyan-
tage in their flights of the kind of at
mosphPric pressure distribution which
suits them. They do not risk a voyage
across the channel when the wind i
high. If it exceeds velocity of forty
miles an hour only swallows and martins
venture forth. Otherwise they care little
Tor the direction of the wind. and for
some occult reason nearly all of them
make the crossing at night time. Prob
ably it i Il mistake to suppose that in
severe seasons orr feathcred friends stay
mt home Ia be frozen. 1t is more likely
that. like favored people of fashion. they
betake themselves for the season To the
Riviera. Italy. or Spain.

THE SACRED BEETLE.
Relics of Venerable Religion in Ancient
Egypt.

Scaraos. which tourists and collectors
often bring back from Egypt, are some
thing more than mere curiosities Their
extreme antiquity alone would entitlt
them to peculiar veneration. because they
first came into vogue between 1000 am
5000 years ago But they are symbols
of religious faith which influenced
human sentiment for longer period than
has elapsed since the foundation Of Chris
tianity.
In the latest issue of The Records OF
the Past c. De w. Brewer mentions

sacred emblems that is supposed to date
