BEdward Rogers, a teamster employed in the quartermaster's department at the Presidio, ended a Sunday debauch and his life yesterday by jumping into the bay from the Presidio wharf. Rogers had been working for the quartermaster’s department for six months or more. He +was a drinking man, but he showed no evidences of an intention to end his life except now and then to say he would like to go away. He asked for a furlough of | 2 month recently and it was declined, and with that as an excuse he took to drink with renewed vigor. Yesterday mor: ing, without saying anything to his com- rades, he walked down to the wharf at the time the McDowell was due and in presence of the few soldiers who were aiting there he walked off into the water. The body was recovered by two Italian nen an hour or two later and was it to the Morgue. Martin,_ of Company B of the st Infantry died at the General vesterda I Peter C. Deming, commissary of sul =nce of volunteers, has been as- s » temporary duty in this depart- ment pending his assignment to Manila. —— |CHILD FATALLY CUT BY FALLING GLASS Heavy Window Frames Drop Twenty Feet on Little Leslie Forsyth. Charles Leslie Forsyth, aged 4 years, met with a pecullar accident while at play vesterday afternoon, receiving in- juries from which he died a few hours later. The child was playing in the yard of the house at 1 Polk street with two other children, when the heavy glass windows of the conservatory on the floor above in some unaccountable manner broke from their frames and came crashing down to the ground, twenty feet below. A large piece of thé glass struck the unfortunate little fellow and completely covered him. The landlady of the house heard the crash and the screams of the children and ran at once to the scene, where she found the child bleeding profusely from many cuts on the head and body, the glass fali- ing with such force that it cut through in | the child’s cap and clothing.

A Ex-Transport Columbia Purchased by Government—Captain Rasmus- sen of the Frolic in Trouble. NS A The well-known coasting schooner Lila and Mattie is now probably a total wreck in Tillamook Bay. According to the dis- patches from Astoria she went sshore at | the head of the bay during a southwester. The tug Harrison attempted to tow her off, and later the steamer Tillamook came along and had a try also, but both failed. got off at high water, but an hour or so later dragged her anchors and capsized in the surf. The crew and passengers es- caped, but the chances are that (he schooner and cargo wiil be a total loss. The schooner Sacramento got in trouble at Tillamook while the Lila and Mattie was in port, and the crew refused to come to San Francisco on her. The men tcok passage with Captain Ostlin and were aboard the Lila and Mattie when she want ashore. They worked hard along with the crew to save the vessel, and succeeded in getting her off the beach, but when the gale came up again and the schooner cap- sized all their labor went for nothing. There was a strike on the pilot boat America last Friday, and in consequence a half-dozen pilcts were unable to get to their station outside the lightship. When Captain Frank Murphy, who was in com- mand of the America for the cruise, got aboard one of the deck hands demanded $40 a month—an advance of $. The de | mand came as a surprise, and the master | of the boat naturally wanted to know tha reason. The answer he sot was that the | Sailors’ Union was behind the demand. | “Sallors on coasting vessels are as a gen- | eral rule getting a month. They have to handle the cargo and do all kinds of hard work. When business is slack their wages are cut; when there is a rush and | men are in demand they ask and get a | big advance. On the pilot boats the sail- | ors get a uniform wage of $35 a month: the year round. They are as well found and oused as on any private yacht in the world, and in consequence the strike came | as a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. At | the headquarters of the coast seamen it | was learned yesterday that the strika on | the America was wholly unwarranted and | | that the union had nothing whatever to do | { with it. The crew of the pilot boat acted | | | | on their own individual accounts and had | no order from headquarters. | “The unfon is not interfering in any | way with pilot boats and yachts,” said the | assistant secretary. “On that class of ves- | | sels the men as & rule have an easy time | |and a uniform wage, and there {s in sonse. quence no kick coming.” | "The Oceanic Steamship Company has | sold two of its eailing vessels, and In con- sequence the steamer Czarina has been | put on the Honolulu run by the company. | The brig John D. Spreckels has been s)id to the Western Commercial Compary | | (Bennett & Goodall) and will load for | Guam, and the brig Consuelo has been ! | s0ld to Charles Nelson and will load for | Mahukona, The Czarina arrived at Seat- | tle yesterday, but will receive freight at Pacific-street wharf on_ the 20th inst for Honolulu and will sail March 2. The Government has purchased the steamer Columbia from the Northern Pa- | cific Steamship Company. The vessel has been in the employ ot the transport ser- vice for nearly a year and has been carry- | ing troops to Manila. A vessel is wanted | for the transport service between here ard | Alaska, however, and the purchase of the Columbia was 'recommended. She will make trips during the season becween here and St. Michael, and will th=a go on the regular Manila run for the remainder of the year. | Captain Rasmussen of the tug Frolic i | in & peck of trouble with his wife.

Dillon on the Subject, “Why I am a Catholic.” —_—— Fourth of the Series of Lectures Be- ing Given Under the Auspices of the Young Men’s Institute. DAL A The fourth of the series of being given under the auspices of the Young Men’'s Institute was delivered In Metropolitan Temple last evening by Henry C. Dillon. His subject was ‘“Why I Am a Catholic.” In treating of this theme Mr. Dillon divided it into three parts. The first part from a legal standpoint, in support of the Christian religion, and he declared the system could not stand without calling upon the traditional evidence of the Cath- olic church. He then took up the subject of Cathol- icism and science, between which, he said, rightly understood and fairly compared | with the truths of revelation. He quoted from the Vatican constitution where it declares “The church, far from being op- posed to the arts and sciences, assists and encourages them.’” ‘Turning then to the practical side of his subject, Mr. Dillon argued that all the forms and ceremonies of the church have a reasonable basis and are all calculated to stimulate the growth of better men and women, which, after all, he declared, is the reform of all reforms. his sub&ec( from the standpoint of a law- ver and a layman. This part of his address was an argu- | ment made in defense of the Christian re- ligion, based upon right reason. Takin for his major premise the divine origin of man, he argued that it must logically fol- low that he was created for a purpose, which he could not fulfill without Knowln‘ what that purpose was, and that this pur- pose God has revealed to man. The Old of this will, he sald, and were written long after the revelations were made to the church. He believed it was just as necessary that such a body as the church should be created and perpetuated, with | power to declare and interpret this will, as that the United States should have a i Supreme Court to declare what is the con stitulon and give final interpretation of this will from the beginning, and that tue Catholic church alone is competent to tes- tify concerning it; and her decrees upon matters within her jurisdiction must be accepted in the same sense as the de- cisions of the Supreme Court. | “Secular thought and criticism may pull | tor pleces the latest revised edition of the New Testament put forth by the Protest- 'Bn!s." he said, “and tear to shreds their | discordant creeds, but their weapons fall | lic church. contain only a part of the Christian re- ligion.

These | are generally sounded. 3. The following letters seem to be the most bothersome to Americans: | g is silent before n, as in magnifique; | mahn-yee-feek. h is usually route; hdtel; o-tell. qu has almost always the sound of k; quatre; cat-tr. Note—As in English, q s always united with u, and never stands alone. r is harder than in English, principally at the beginning and the end of words. | € between two vowels is like z; refuser; | rah-fuh-zay. } s at the beginning of a word Is hissing; sept; sett. th has the sound of théatre; tay-atr. Note—The English th has no equivalent In French. The sound of “th” does not exist at | the English t; w is generally like the English v; this letter is not used frequently. Note—Students must not give the sound of the English w to the v. X at the end of a word is mute, as doux; | doo. Tt has sometimes after a vowel the sound of gs; exemple; eggs-ample.

"Yh yet which is absolutely “wireless. Wireless telefinphy. as now understood, however, employs no line wires, such as are necessary in ordinary telegraphy to connect the transmitter and the receiver. Transmission through the earth or water without wires has been accom- plished many times. The earth is full of wandering currents which need only a sensitive detector like the -telepkone to become evident. Indeed, the difficulty is to prevent any currents which have ac- cess to earth from wandering and to keep them in the paths marked out for them. ‘Without enumerating the attempts which have been made in this direction during the last half century or more, a single example will be sufficient to make the matter clear. Some years aj w- bridge found that the time si s from a clock in the observatory in C-mbfldga could e distinguished four miles from the line conveying the signals to Boston. A telephone receiver was used as a detector in a llne about fifty feet long, the ends of the line being grounded by means of rods which were stuck into the earth. The current had spread out to this extent between the earth plates in Cambridge and Boeston, assisted, probably, by the water mains and the water In the soil. The Leakage Method. On this principle it was that ships at sea should communicate, a strong current from a dynamo being sent into the sea through a trailin; re and the current detected by a telephone connected to a similar wire trailicg from another ship.

Copyright, 1900, by Seymour Eaton. When a wave progresses over the sur- face of water it S not by the onward mo- tion of the water itself.” Each particle of | water oscillates up and down, communi- | cating its motion to the next, and in this | way causing the wave form to travel on- | ward until it breaks upon the shore or is smothered out by the friction in the water itself. In just this way a wave passes over a field of standing grain. Each stalk keeps its place, but the wave form moves onward. A wave may be made to travel | & rope or a long spiral spring; in fact, in | any substance which for any reason tends to resume its original shape or volume. A sound-producing wave in air is of much the same character, although the motion of the air particles is to and fro along the direction of motion of the wave, in- stead of across it; for air has elastleity | of volume, but not of shape. These air waves are ordinarily invisible, but pro- duce the effect of sound within certain limits of rapidity, if the receiver is an or- gan of hearing. A single sharp disturbance of the air, like an explosion, starts an air wave | which travels outward in all directions | from the source; or a regular repetition | of impulses, like the sound of a siren whis- tle or of a bell, causes a serfes of waves. These disturbances are transformed by the ear upon which the wave strikes into the sensation of tne report of the explo- sion or the musical note of the bell, re- | Quced to loudness in accordance with the distance. For the wave is spreadi out into greater and greater spheres and the | proportion of the whole wave which is re- celved Is correspondingly reduced as it recedes from the starting point. If, instead of falling upon an ear which responds to a wide range of vibrations the waves are received by some appar- atus which responds to but one definite pitch or rapidity of vibration, little or no | effect is produced unless the waves are of the same pitch as that of the recetvh | instrument. Such an instrument s call a “resonator” and the action is known as sympathetic, resonating or syntomic ac- tion. The resonator selects only the waves of its natural period. | To account for the known phenomenon | of light it has been found necessary to assume the existence of an all-pervading substance called the “ether.” Nobody can see or feel the ether, but there are few, if any, now who doubt its existence. It must be endowed with very remark- able properties; a rigidity great enough to transmit waves with a veloeity of 186,000 miles a second: a lightness so in- conceiva:'s that all forms of matter pass through it with little or no resistance; filling all space, even that between the molecules of every body. In the ether are passing at all times and always with this immense of 186,000 miles a second waves of all frequencies and of hs. The light-producing waves i com| tively narrow limits, from about 40,000 to about 70,000 to the inch. ‘Shorter than these are the ultra- | violet waves, which affect phoxw plates strongly, vibrating about 10,000, 000,00 times a second, and the X rays no- body knows how many billions of times a second. Beyond the visible rays at the | other end the waves of 10,000,000,000.000 to | 20,000,000,000.000 vibrations a second pro- | duce the effect chiefly of heat, and still | lower in the scale come waves of all f-e- uencies down to a comparatively few thousands a second, and of all lengths, from a quarter of an inch to many miles. The effects of these long waves are chiefly electrical. so far as yet known. and thz? are generally called Hertzlan waves, from the name of the man who through a wire run: he length of.the | first investigated them systematically.
