Though omitted in t!)elpuges it is a well- known fact that the timely combination of photographic and astronomical skill pos- sessed by Professor Barnard led to methods that were eminently successful. Dealing chiefly with results, he describes how an | old portrait lens of short focal Jength revealed the varied density and cloud forms of the milky way and the black holes that seem to perforate the mass of stars, and gave a glimpse of the starless depths beyond. This now famous lens, six inches in diameter and thirty-one inches in focal length, has been recently mounted and refigured; but the ill tion shows it was in the August of when the true structure of the milky way was first disclosed. He explains how the light of the stars leaves a trail on the plate owing to the rotation of the earth, describing circles if directed to the pole and straight lines if the equatorial stars are in the field of view. “Also, how a long exposure is ob- | tained by keeping pace with the heavens ward, thus counteracting the tion.

Thomas A. Hoyt, Presby- | terian, Philadelphis, Pa. SUNDAY OBSERVANCE. The ohservance of the Sunday lies at the root of all religious life. It s not the most import- ant of the religious festivals, but still it serves tobind all together. Sunday is not the Sab- bath nor is the Sabbath Sunday. Sunday is a religions holiday under the new law. It is| confounded by those outside of the pale of the Catholic chureh with the Sabbath of the old law. There is nothing in ecclesiastical history to werrant such confusion.—Archbishop Rior- dan, Catholic, San Francisco, Cal. CHRISTIANITY. Christianity is not & creed: it is not a doc- trine; it is not an_ecclesiastical system; it is not & church. It does not consist of this or that number of men, gathered together under s appropriate 'label. Christianity is a spirit: it 1s an influence; it is life; it isa species of character. It is a quality of conduet, and as such is far wider, wider immeasurably, than any tebulation of it that has ever been made.—Reyv. William Macafee, Methodist, Co- lumbas, Ohio.

ASURPLLS PRODUCECROP THE SACRAMENTO RIVER POTATOES THAT WILL CLOG THE MARKET. APPLEs AND Grapes THAT Go A-BEGGING FOR BUYERs. CROWDED W HARVES. | | ENT! ENT | | | | ! | The fertile tule-bordered isles of the | Sacramento River are sending down their | autumn cargoes of produce, filling the | wharves and plunging prices down below any margin of a profit for the grower. There is always a supply a little in ad- vance of the demand about this time of the year, when potato field and apple orchard begin to yield their abundance to the market. There are always potatoes to be purchased on the docksat50 and 25 cents per sack, and apples at the commis- | sion-houses at the same prices per box, | season. Freight rates have made an East- ern market impossible for California { produce, especially potatoes, and there will be no produce exported from the State eastward now, as has been the case in former years. Large consignments are lying on Clay and Jackson street wharves, received from the Sacramento River, which are being sold from 40 to 20 cents per sack whole- sale. The crop is only beginning to come in, and the glut will be large when the Without doubt many consigned to the feedyards. will b however, does not include the Burbanks. which is the prime potato in any market. This, The Sacramento raises good eatable pota- toes, but the humidity of the big river is in them and they never reach the palata- Salinas foothills. The fall fruit crop now making its ap- pearance in the places of the wholesale dealers is finding a dull market. Table graves are plentiful and correspondingly cheap, and will be until the first big rain spoils the vintage for retail purposes. Among the apples, beliflowers and New- town pippins sell at 75 cents and $1 per | box, and the best cooking apples at 50 cents. But the market is crowded with an inferior article selling a% 25 cents per box | which always comes in advance of the | better grades. As it costs the grower 8 cents for the box, 5 cents for filling it, 8 cents freight, 214 cents drayage and 2 cents commission_for the sale heis }{ cent on the wrong side of his ledger when he gets 25 cents for his apples. But the poor quality of frnit will come in at a loss until that part of the treeage is finished. ‘‘People don’t seem to buy fruit now,” said a prominent Sansome-street dealer. ‘‘It is cheap, but for some reason it drugs the market. As fruit is a luxury, possibly the times are too hard for its use.” *‘We wish to correct the false statement of an evening paper,” said several fruit merchants to a CALL reporter yesterday, “‘regarding frrit storage on the wharves. We are accused of the ridiculous and un- business method of fetting produce remain on the wharves and charging the growers a storage, which has been remitted by the _gofoci-namred wharfingers. Thisstatement 1s false. ““All fruit and the early potatoes are very perishable and are sold and hurried away as soon as possible. After forty-eight hours the arbor Commissioners may | charge wharfage, but there is no need of enforcing the order. Consequently storage cuts no figure in the accounts between the merchant and the farmer.” Chief Wharfinger Root stated that stor- age was seldom charged produce lying on the wharves, as in general it was quickly d. Several thousand sacks of po- were piled on Clay street yesterday morning, but by evening much of it had been taken away. .. —— Suicide by the Gas Route. The third suicide by asphyxiation within the past two weeks was reported at the Morgue vesterday. Louis Smith, a German saloon- keever, 42 years of age, residing at 789 Mission street, was found dead in bed yesterday morn- ing with the room full of gas. He had taken the lava burners out of the jets to give the gas full flow and theu gone to bed. Smith had been engaged in some litigation in the Su- perior Court and the case went against him on riday. Then he determined to die, and after getting thoroughly intoxicated went home and turned on the gas. | | tatoes At the present time there are two_things | but there will be more of a surplus this | scows and stern-wheelers are well under | a boatload | bility of the hard, dry article grown in the | 1 | | they call {0 the meaning of *‘bohemian.” i | | CONCERNING BOHEMIANS, By W. C. MORROW, What is pleased to term itself the “true Bohemian element’ of San Francisco, with a capital B, has been for a vear past, according to published accounts, express- ing discontent with existing methods of | “Bohemian’’ organization, and striving, apparently with a diverting relish of pub- Jic notice, to establish an ideal confrater- nity. Through all this travail there is | borne the merry idea that these estimable | persons have been possibly led into their | course by a misconception of themselves and other things. Perhaps it is I who misconceive their conception®and that they are right and [ am wrong; but when I read of persons calling themselves *Bohe- mians,’”’ “artists” and other equally weird | names I feel convinced that if I am wrong | my error is explainable on the ground of insanity, not lack of education, In the sensein which the word ‘“bohe- mian” is used hereabout it offends to see it | printed with a capital B, for it is a com- | mon noun—by far too common. Weall | know that apart from its geographical sig- nificance it was meant to apply to gypsies | primarily and to persons resembling gyp- | sies secondarily. Hence its fundamental | meaning is a person without a fixed habi- | tation, lazy, improvident, uncouth and | dirty; self-constituted outcasts and vaga- | bonds, given to lying, swindling and theft. | 1f in its translation to a higher civilization | its meaning has become enlarged we may assume that, in addition to these defini- | tions, we may include cognate ideas, as drunkenness, a scorn for conventions and that particular form of theft which the op- | portunity of incurring debts and a willing- | ness to evade payment creates. Iflam correctly informed the word has been | adopted by persons of “‘artistic” tastes or pursuits to describ e themselves, The gypsy, for all his shortcomings, isa picturesque creature and has a certain an- | thropological interest. He has some | charms and graces which shine through his rascalities and grime. He is not con- celted nor obtrusive nor noisy and in his theft and lying he displays a dexterity | which not one of his civilized prototypes | can hope to acquire. He knows nothing of his civilized congeners and would likely scorn to recognize them in public. Now if the civilized bohemians are what the term really implies, they have no place in a social club with respectable men and would probably not find such a club con- | genial. I am reasonably positive that | those who are in evidence are not what themselves, but really lovable and sunny characters, not so really ill bred as to be markedly unconventional, not so dishonest as to incur debts which they do not intend to pay, not so lackingin self- | Tespect as to fail in being respectable, not offensive by reason of being affectedly dirty and ill dressed, and not objects of suspicion and espionage on the part of the police. I'am confident that if they get drunk at all it is not on cheap liquor or in low doggeries and disreputable resorts and that while drunk they act as kings, lords | and other gentlemen should while in that | condition. Perhaps the unfortunate name of a very | prosperous and agreeable club in town has | bad much to do with this misconception | I have visited this clubon two occasions that I | I tlemen; and if any policemen or detectives | futile efforts of the “artistic” members of | profoundly mysterious | which they have created for themselves, | remember, and found it furnished with those comforts and adornments which it is proper that well-to-do men should provide for their pleasure.

The Railroad Commissioners will go to | San Diego this week to consider a question | of weighty importance in view of the | issue. | It will be their duty to hear testimony and decide why a trifling bit of railroad is not operated, and their finding may be | an interesting one, as they are likely to | declare a franchise ot the Southern Cali- fornia Railway forfeited. Some time ago a portion of the railroad between Temecula and Murietta was washed out. The damage has never been repaired, the Santa Fe Company, which owns the line of the Southern California | Railway, declaring that the income from that branch was not suflicient to warrant the expenditure of money in rebuilding. So the line.that passed through a “‘boom’” country, but now a lonelv region much of the way, has been left to rust and rot. The washed-out and abandoned railway is part of the' line running from Ocean- side to Colton, in a northeasterly direc- tion, and thence direct to Ba tion on the Atlantic and Pacific F It afforded an almost direct road from San Diego and the surrounding country to Barstow. Since it has been abandoned passengers and freight in transit between Eastern points and San Diego have passed through Los Angel: nd thereby made a loag detour. Of this fact San Diegans have complained bitterly. But that is not all. They protest that many passengers bound for San Diego stopped off at Los Angeles and became so charmed with the picturesque, busy and altogether delight- ful city that they decided to travel no further. The Railroad Commission will hear these complaints and more at a public meeting in San Diego, October 28. The railway company will present its | the case and show cause why its { | should not be forfeited. Itwill | the damage would cost over $1 repair, and that the income would not justify such an outiay. Stll the people Wwho paid very large sums as a bonus for building the short line from San Diego to Colton intend to make a hard fight before the commission witha hope of seeing the franchise forfeited. | | | | Captain Noyes’ smissed.
