Traveling Toward the Earth at the Rate of About a Million Miles a Day. BERKELEY March 25.—According to computations just completed by the de- partment of astronomy at Berkeley the comet discovered by Astronomer Perrine at Mount Hamilton last Sunday morning has been approaching the earth and sun at the rate of a million miles a day. The computations were based upon two ob- servations at Mount Hamilton and one observation at Berkeley by Professor Leuschner, and were made by Tracy R. Crawford, an assistant, and H. K. Palmer, a senior student at Berkeley. “According to cur calculations,” said Professor Leuschner, ‘‘the comet ap- proached the earth at the rate of a mil- lion miles a day for several days after its discovery. The rate of approach, how- ever, is diminishing. On April 6 its dis- tance from the earth will be about 141, 000,000 miles. Shortly after that it will begin to recede, anu will then pass off into space. The comet will be nearest to the sun on April 8, when it will be about 99,000,000 mi.es away. About April it will be at least 20 per cent brighter than when it was first observed. “‘The comet’s plane of motion is inclined to the plane of the earth’'s motion at an angle of about 79 degrees, and intersects it in longitude 271 degrees. The axis of its motion points about 73 degrees east of the intersection of the plane of its mo- tion and that of the earth.” ———— A Noted Visitor. BERKELEY, March 25. — Professor Hans Wolisch, a noted German scientist and professor of botany at the University of Prague, Bohemia, was a visitor at the university to-day. Professor Wolisch is on his return from a trip around the world, having just come from the great botanical gardens of Buitnzorg, Java. He left Berkeley this evening for the East and home.

How My Lady of San Francisco Will Eclipse Her Sisters of Less Fortunate Cities. “The Shepherdess” and Other Charming Creations Which Will Captivate the World of Esthetic THE EPHERDES i Spring Worshipers. Never before have the artists of Paris—the conceded birthplace of all that is dainty in millinery—shown more ex- quisite taste in designing or greater skill in executing than in this season, year of our Lord, 1898. The prime characteristic of this season’s Easter bonnet is softness and flexibility, ethereal. To produce this effect straws are used, the favorite being Mazzuolo and a large variety of chiffons, dotted nets and mousseline francaise. Black and white are used on some very stylish hats, but the favorite colors are turquoise blue and the yellows, shading from pallle to the deep coque de roche. Tips and ostrich plumes are seen in some exquisite shadings and give promise of being used more as the season ad- vances, but at present flowers reign supreme, all others giving place to their regal queen, the rose. there, the modest little tea, the half-opened Jaqueminot, the stately American Beauty, the old-fashioned June, disclosing its yellow heart, and even the rose mourante, or dying rose, with its faded petals just ready to drop. The artists, not being content with the most perfect simulation, have used the real rose stems with their very real thorns to uphold the beautiful blossoms. Hats are large, decidedly large, and the favorite shape is La Bergere, the shepherdess, worn by the Empress Jose- phine a century ago, in fact many of the styles are revivals of the eighteenth century, but plaques and toques have not entirely surrendered the field. One chic little plaque was of fancy braid shading from corail to deep pourpre, caught up high in the back and worn to dip well over the eyes. poppy buds and oats on the left side and in the back. The ‘‘Shepherdess’” is a low-crowned, broad-brimmed hat, in chip or leghorn, drooping low in the front and back with a high upward roll of the brim on either side. A dashing one, if such a term can be applied to any thing so modest as a shepherdess, covered with white net dotted with black. The net is drawn very full over baoth upper and under side of the brim, Enormous bows of straw color and coque de roche ribbon are set 8n the left front, the loops standing over the brim to the edge. Two black ostrich plumes are fastened at the left, drooping down and back. Bunches of black violets fasten long ties of the net that are to be carried loosely under the chin and caught at the left side with crushed pink roses. The flat effect of this hat reminds one of the demure maids whose faces are seen in old-time minfa- and also covers the crown. tures. cannot be met with.

PATOSKEY 1S IN BIG LUCK The New York Wreck Is Likely to Prove a Bonanza. Driven Up the Beach, Where the Work of Saiving Is Easy. The Operator Thinks He Sees Not Less Than Twenty Thousand in Sight. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, ®s Broadway, March 2. | J. Pantoskey, the local junk dealer, who | bought the cargo of the big ship New York as she lay wrecked at Halfmoon | Bay, came to Oakland to-day and is in a highly elated frame of mind. He sees his way nearly clear to realize a large for- tune out of his investment. The sum paid was $6800, and it is not | impossible that three times this - figure | and even more may be netted. The cargo was invoiced for $135,000 and is one of the most valuable of general China ship- ments. ““The ship is now securely jammed in about twelve feet of sand,” said Pan- toskey to-day, “‘and there is mo fear of her shifting. The way the swell strikes | her helps her further up the beach and | at low water now you can walk to within seventy-five feet of the vessel. “The storm that wrecked the Almy does not seem to have done much, if an damage to the New York, which evi- dently is a good stanch hull. The cargo is not yet damaged to any great extent, except in certain parts of the vessel, and there are tiers and tiers of valuable ma- terial as good as new.

Professor ‘Bacon Says the United | States Will Put an End to Cu- | ban Horrors. BERKELLY, March 25.—Prof. Thomas R. Bacon lectured Thursday afternoon at the university on “Liberty and Au-| thosity.”” In the course of his address | he touched upon the. attitude of the United States toward Cuba. He declared it to be certain that it is the deliberate | American judgment that the United| States should and will intervene in Cuba to put an end to the terrible-condition of things at present existing in the island. | : Professor Bacon spoke in part as fol- | ows: *'As a rule the action of government is professedly confined to seeking the good of its own subjects; sometimes, espe- cially under popular governments, it | breaks through these limits, and is moved | by considerations of justice and mercy | toward those who are outside its own | borders. If the United States shall inter- vene in Cuba (which we trust God wiil | forbid) it will be because we cannot stand by and see another three hundred | thousand helpless persons go down to the | grave by the hard and doleful way of | starvation, as three hundred thousand | have already gone, while we have it in | our power to save them. Every consid- eration which justitied the French and English fleets in blowing out of the water the Turkish and Egyptian fleets in 1827 would justify our armed intervention in the affairs of Spain and Cuba. The judg- | ment of enlightened man approves of the battle of Navarino, and regards it as one | of the most splendid events in human history. The judgment of enlightened | man would ultimately come to regard In the same way the intervention of the United States in Cuba - provided they show that their action has no other mo- tive than disinterested humanitv. The last few days have brought us to| a very grave crisis. The people of the | United States have shown through all the | period of the Cuban rebellion a self-pos- | Session .with which the world has not| hitherto credited any democracy. The terrible evil of war has been justly ap preciated and welfihed. No touch of “'jin-| gofsm™ has stained the anxious calm with Which we have watched the course of events. But these days have made cer- tain that the administration and Con- gress thoroughly represent the deliberate Judgment of the people, that the awful condition of things upon our own bor- ders beside which the much-talked-of ‘Armenian massacres are as a mere trifle, must be put an end to and that we must do it.
