By the Japan Stream He Expects to Forecast California | Weather. Forecaster Hammon of the weather bureau is to have the scope of his ob- servations materially enlarged if Secre- tary of Agriculture Wilson can prevail upon Congress to stand for the expense By means of a coastwise cable to the Aleutian Islands Mr. Hammon hopes to be enabled to feel the puise of the weathe in Alaska and tell three months before hand whether California crops are going | to suffer chills or fever. Bome days ago Mr. Hammon read be- fore the Btate Board of Trade a paper that Interestingly set forth his theory that upon the Japan current and its periodical epended the climatic condi- oast. If the stream were ( ay from the coast and north- ard until it laved the northern islands | it was there robbed of all of its warmth and finally found its way southward, re- duced to the same temperature as the alr, bringing about conditions not f: rable to evaporation. Drought in such cases is the invariable result. The weather forecaster is further confi- dent that by testing the temperature and general direction of the current at differ- ent points he will be able to prophesy al- | most all of the weather conditions that | this coast is subject to, at from two to three months beforehand. This theory | of Mr. Hammon is well based upon his own close observation and upon old Rus- sian records found in the Alaskan archi- pelago. The Board of Trade was so impressed with Mr. Hammon’'s idea tha$ it will do all in its power to have Congress make provisions for a_cable running from this city to Dutch Harbor and other of the island cities of the north, for the trans- mission of weather observations and ship ping news. With this idea in view Wil- liam H. Mills and Colonel John P. Irish were delegated to communicate with the be(‘retnr{ of Agriculture and this they did, setting forth Mr. Hammon's conclu- sions and asking that some course of ac- tion be suggested. In reply they have received the following letter; United States Department of Agric Office of the Becretary, Washington, 1, r"“éff,: tember 10, 1365—Messrs. John P. Irish and W, H. Mills, Office of the Naval Officer, San Fran- cisco, Cal.—Gentlemen: 1 have your favor of August 30 regarding certain weather observ tions on the Pacific Coast and more Intell: information for your producers there. I am much interested in it, and will certainly call the attention of Congress to the necessity of getting wider observations by placing observ- ers on the islands of which you speak. If we have not money enough now I will ask an in. crease. Very truly yours, JAMPS WILSON, Secretary. S —— READY FOR THE SURVEY. Engineer Stor; Will Begin Work on the Bakersfleld and Los An- geles Line. Next week Chief Engineer Story of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Val- ley Raflroad will set out for a reconnoi- sance of the land over which the Bakers- field and Los Angeles railway will pass. He will have with him an assistant, and the work to be mapped out will probably take about two weeks. Soon after the ex- amination {s made a corps of surveyors will be sent out to survey the line. The progress In construction alon, the line of the Valley Railroad is notez from day to day. Large forces are at work dredging and grading from Stock- ton to Point Richmond. The Franklin tunnel is being excavated at a very rapid rate, and if the present progress {s made the tunnel will be completed by the mid- dle of next year. ‘Will Preach on Sunday. At 8t.

The Work of Art Had Many Failings, Was Rejected, Repaintel and Then Turned Back. Capitalist Wi 2. Dean has had his | ace painted; t , his features have | been reproduced on canvas by two local | artists—A. B. Juckson and C. A. Browne. | The latter are now after the price of thelr | masterpiece, which sums up $600; but they | are meeting with vigorous opposition in | their endeavors to collect. Dean doesn't | want the picture for many reasons. In equence a jury is now listening in e Hunt's court to the reasons of the ts why the plcture should be paid {inciaentally those of the defend- he should not be made to accept »d and alleged likeness. | The testimony of _the plaintiffs was taken yesterday morning and was ex- ceedingly amusing. Taking the separate tatements of the artists and weavin them into one story it produces a tale o woe that only wieiders of the brush can | appreciate. Here is their narrative: As Mr. Dean was too busy to sit for the por- trait he furnished the artists with a pho- | tograph, and on this they set to work. In due time the portrait was finished and Mr, Dean was_well satisfied with the work, Not so his wife. In her opinion the portrait did not cor rectly picture the extent of her husband’s avoirdupols. His eyes had a vacant look. When one moved in a circle past the pic- | ture the e d not follow one. It made | him have the appearance of & parson, The suit from which the head protruded was black, a color much disliked by Mr. Dean. There were wrinkles under the eyes, likewise in the vest and the trou- sers. The beard was too gray; it should | be darker. The portrait should be made | younger looking, as the subject was not an old man. The bulld of the likeness was too slight, which was the fault of the ar- tists, as had not Mr. Dean bared the calf | of his leg to let the artists see how well he was ‘“‘put up”? So the artists went to work. They took off that black suit and bedecked a larger form with a brown one. More flesh was put on emaciated parts. Wrinkles were removed. Pants pressed, the vest pulled down, the beard allowed a few days' more growth, the hair was dyed, and, above all, youth showed out from the face of colors. More trouble. The picture had been painted too light. Who ever heard of an old master paint- ing a picture otherwise than with breadth and depth and plenty of paint? Then somebody said the likeness did not look like the subject. Perhaps it was because the hair was too dark, the face too youth- ful, the pants too sleek, the vest puiled too tight, or many other little deficien- cles. yway, the picture was rejected. Then came the suit. To-day the defense will put on experts to discuss the wrinkles, trousers and gen- eral appearance, and then the end will come. The jury will decide whether or not the artists are entitled to recover or Dean to his money and a better picture. —_—————————— IS MRS.
