about a campfire, sleepy. cold and badly
frightened, seven young women of San
Francisco, who are camping near here,
were forced to remain awake most OF
last night because gipsies stole all
their bedclothes while they were alb
sent at banquet and dance. From
shortly after midnight until breakfast
time they braved the chilly night air,
walking up and down at intervals to
keep the numbness from their cramped
limbs. In the party, besides Mrs. t.
Ellis. the chaperon, were. Miss Edna
Johnson, Miss Hazel Morrison, Miss
Ada Johnson, Miss Anita Sparna. Miss
Ruth Morrison, Miss Eva Morrison and
Miss Myrtle Bishop.
The young women moved into their
camp yesterday afternoon. On their
return, just after midnight, they en-
tered the camp singing and laughing
with their chaperon, who had accom-
panied them.
Miss Eva Johnson and her sister.
Ruth, were in the lead. AS the two
girls entered the circle of tents they
were startled at the sight of woman,
dressed in the gaudy rags of a gypsy.

large bundle in her arms. The girls
screamed and retreated to their COM
panions. A hurried consultation was
held, which resulted in Mrs. Ellis and
her charges venturing on an investiga- :
ton.
One by one the tents were entered
and each was found TO be bare of bed
clothes. Sheets. pillows. blankets and
quilts had all disappeared.
Their trunks were still at the rail
road depot, and aside from the few
articles of clothing which they had
brought in their suit cases there was
practically nothing in camp with which
they could cover their thin ball dresses
AS the nearest neighbor was a con-
siderable distance away they decided to
remain where they were.

.SAVANTS perfect
new INSTRUMENT
Wonderful Machine Makes Most
Minute Divisions of Circle
Known to Science

BERKELEY, June ia machine for
dividing circle into small equal parts,
such as degree divisions on a surveyor s
transit of astronomers measuring in
strument, has been perfected by W. R.
Stamper, a mechanician in the physics
department OF the University of Cali
fornia, and Prof E. p. Hall, also of the
university.
The machine, which is made to di-
vide a six inch circle into smaller
equal parts than have been reached
with any celebrating instrument hereto
fore designed, is the result of years of
labor on the part of the two inventors.
and so fine are the divisions, and so
accurate, that if a surveying transit
arc, measuring six inches across, were
divided into degrees and then magni-
fled so that the circle measured four
miles in diameter, the degree divisions
would be $50 feet apart and would err
only about two inches. This means that
practically the divisions on the arc
would be perfect.
The apparatus was designed and con-
structed by Stamper, while the calcu-
lations for error in the divisions made
by the machine were worked out by
Professor Hall. and have been published
in a university bulletin. There are
few of the new machines in existence,
and these differ radically, improve
ments having been made from time to
time.
So delicate is the instrument that the
heat from the body of a man standing
in the same room will cause a material
deviation of the needle which marks
the almost microscopic hair lines that
denote the divisions.
With the aid of a vernier attached
to a circle marked out in division by
the machine. angles of less than a Sec
ond can be read off on a large circle. or.
in other words, the smallest recognized
division of a circle can be divided into
equal minute parts.
