MAKE RECORD TIME; Sunday School Chep2! Is Born and, Reared in a Week. | | Beven Daves After Matter Is Breached the Building ts Dedicated in tue Presence of a Large Audieace. Trinity Sunday school chapel, born nd reared within a week, was dedicated to the cause of religion the other Sun- day at Berkeley, Cal., with appropriate exercises in the presence of such an au- @ience as threatened to burst out the sides of the little building. The deci- catory sermon was preached by Rt Rev. John W. Hamilton, resident bishop for the Methodist churches of California, With his usual eloquence Bishop Hamilton stirred his auditors to enthusiasm and before the day was over $1,585 had been subscribed toward paying of the indebtedness of chapel, besides that for an organ, chairs and library. The chapel was unheard of, unthourht of a week before. Then Ernest F. Barry presenteda petition to Rev. C.K Jenness, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, in which the residents in the neighbor- hood of College avenue and Russell street agreed to send their 50 children to Sunday school if a chapel was built. | Tet was enough for Mr, Jenness, and the next day he purchased a lot at Col- lege avenue and Russell street for $3,009, and made arrangements to buy & ready-made chapel for $500, Such a structure was used in this case, and now Trinity chapel stands where a few days ago there was nothing. It isa little redwood building, 16 feet wice the Tt stands on a lot 120x120 feet, a por- eofion of which the church people propose R.Ci-SUICIDE IMPROBABLE, Chief Statistican King of Census Dew partment Proves That Births Greatly Exceed Deaths. Chief Statistician King, of-the census Office, ridicules the race suicide scare. He says that before long this country w outer ‘ Liew of what to do with th To prove his assertion Mr. King quotes from the cen- sus returns of 1900. In that year the enumerators found 2,049,132 children were born, and a record of 1,039,094 deaths, or an excess of births of 1,010,- 048. This large excess of births was re- vealed despite the fact that deaths are recorded with much more accuracy than the births. It is admitted that the per- centage of births not recorded ts sur- prisingly large. The total population within the boun- daries of the United States in 1890 was 62,947,714, and the natural Increase in the decade following due to excess of births over deaths was 12,215 The average annual excess of births was 17.7 for every 1,000 of the mean population, Tt Is estimated that the death rate of the country for the census year 1990 was approximately 16.3 for every 1.000 in 1890, as estimated by the statistician of the eleventh census, and taking the mean of these, or 17.4, as representirg for this purpose the average annual death rate for the decade, there must necessarily have been an average annual birth rate of 25.1 for every 1,000 of the mean population to produce the increase in population actuelly enumerated. Statistician King says the averace an- nual rate of increase by excess of births in the United States for native white parents was 19.5 to the 1,000 of popula- tion, while it was 36.5 to the 1,000 for those born of foreign white parents. people.

S!Y SHIP IS HAUNTED. Sad Chopter of Accidents and Deaths Which Occur on Board an Alaska Vesnel, The steamer North Star, which re- turned to Astoria, Oregon, the other day from Bristol Bay, Alaska, brings a story of a haunted ship that carries with it a sad tale of accidents and deaths which befell the men connected with her. The vessel is the Sea Witch, under charter to the Alaska Packers’ company of San Francisco, Shortly after arriving at Bristol Bay the mate had his foot crushed. It was amputated, but the man died shortly afterward. A few days later a watchman committed suicide by cut- ting his throat, and that evening, without any apparent cause, the captain's pet dog started on a run to the bow of the vessel and jumped overboard and was drowned few sailors left on board that they . thought the bark haunted, and one, 4 Greek, compls!ned of hearing strange running about on deck.

Prof. Barnett, of Stanford University, { Makes an Interesting Discovery on a Tour of Alaska, Samuel Jackson Barnett, assistant professor of physics at Stanford uni+ versity, California, has returned to the university after several months spent _ in survey work along the Alaskan coast. Prof. Barnett left here last May to take charge of a party sent out by the United States coast and geodetic survey to make accurate surveys of the northern country along the coast line. The party made a special investigation in the pe- culiar magnetic disturbances which have made navigation difficult in certain _ localities. | Near Skagway these disturbanaces are very severe, the deflection of the needle being so great that the compass is rendered almost useless in that neighborhood. It was found that this strange state of affairs was due to the abundance of magnetic rock in the lo- cality. This rock is present in immense 1 quantities on Douglass island, and on ‘This chain of events so frightened the) the mainland and near Skagway jt is especially abundant.

Decline of thé Use of Vehicle in the Cities. Is More Than Balanced by Rural Gatas ant Than Bver—Figures from ~ France, Lee ts Greater Although it is generally known that the use of the bicycle by farmers’ boys and in smail towns, where a few years ago they were seldom seen, has greatly increased, it is hard for those who no- tice local conditions and note how much bicycle riding in the city streets and on the nearby boulevards has fallen off to believe it possible that as many bicycles are, on the whole, in use as formerly. It was almost in- credible to some persons when the re- ports of manufacturers were made up in the spring, to hear that more than 600,000 bicycles were sold in this country in 1902. The slump after the boom made so much more impression than the steady increase of rural riders that the figures caused aston- ishment. It is true, however, that in spite of the great decline in the popu- larity of the bicycle in the big - cities, the total number being used is greater than ever. In this country there is no way of obtaining actual statistics as to the number in use, but in France every cyclist has to pay a special tax, and there an official record is kept. It is generally agreed by those returning from abroad, and it is well known in the trade, that in France, as well as in the other countries of Europe and in Great Britain, cycling has passed through much the same history as it has here, a craze over a novelty, a boom, a reaction, a big slump, and then a settling to a commonplace usage. In France, too, there is talk of a big falling off of popularity in cy- cling, and it is reflected in the French papers, In the face of all this come the facts from the French tax bureau showing that every year of the last cight there has been an increase i nthe number of bicycles in use. In 1902 there was an increase of nearly 100,000 over 1901. The figures of the tax office show 1,106,768—bicycles in use in 1901 and 1,201,742 in 1902, To be exact, the gain was just 9,974, The figures for each year since 1895, showing the steady but fluctuating gains, are interesting. They are as fol- lows: The fact that the gain is mainly in the agricultural districts in France as well as here is made plain in an analy- sis made by Le Monde Sportif of Paris, which prints the statistics by depart- ments, The average increase is one of 12 per cent., but in the department of the Seine, which is Paris, the increase is only 31% per cent.
