Sixty-four boys and girls received their firet communion at St. Boniface's Church fon being the annual Swed- [on Golden Gate avenue yesterday morn- irg. Solemn high mass was celebrated at | 9 o'clock by Rev. Father Maximilian, with Rev. Father Augustine —as deacon and Rev. Father Philibert as sub-deacon. The children marched in procesion from the achoolhouse to the chureh under the guid ance of Rev. Father Vitalis, O. F. M., o the Indian mission of Lake County. After the gospel the youthful commuicants received the blessed sacrament for the first time. Rev. Father Maximillan then addressed them on the solemn character of the day and exhorted them to recognize the great gift by living a pure life and to receive the sacrament often, The children also renewed their baptismal vows and made their profession of faith anew. Those Who recelved communion were: W. Baumeister, George Borrmann, Louis V.. Ehrmann, + Hunner, J. Koenig, J. Kaestner, P. mann, T. Nealon, W. Otterstedt, R. C. Rust, J. Sprenger, L. Steffen. J. W.

San Francisco's population went en masse to the park and beach and other pleasure places yesterday. The attraction | at the park was a ball game between the | Golden Gates and the Dan P. Carters. The | Carters came out victorious after a rous- | ing game by a score of 6 to 4. Broadhurst | of the Carters landed two home runs dur- | ing the game, and Barnett, who played | eft field for the same team, trotted once | | around the diamond while 'the opposing | | team chased the sphere through the trees | that backed right field. A “kid” team from Newman & Levin- | son's went to the diamond with the Pep- | pers. At the end of the game the score | | stood about 48 to o, but as each side claimed the victory neither can be cred- | ited with the same. But_one_ accident occurred during the | day. Mr. Schubert of 3017 Sixteenth street was struck by Haight street car No. 167 | just as it was leaving the Stanyan street | turntable and ceriously injured. In addi- | tion to a severe scalp wound he suffered | numerous bruises and contusions. He was | removed to the Receiving Hospital for | treatment. | An unusually large erowd visited the Chutes during the day, and that they did not witness a_tragedy was due solely to | the fact that Wallace. the big lion, made | a slight miscalculation in distance. Frank | Hall, the lion-tamer, had just completed | his act with Wallace and had reached the | | escape door of the cageé when the huge | brute sprang at him and swung his_un- sheathed claws at the trainer's head. Hall | ducked and banged the door, but did not escape unscathed. he lion's claws scraped over his scalp and left painful | wounds behind. Had the lion measured his distance the story would have been different.

The researches of Professor Dewar on liquid air are familiar to all who take an interest in the progress of scientific re- search at large. At a recent Royal Society meeting an interesting communication was made on behalf of Dr. A. Macfadyen and Mr. 8. Rowland on the effect of the | terrifically low temperature of liquid air on microbes. The aim of the investigators was that of ascertaining whether the germs could survive cold of a degree mnglng from 183 to 192 degrees Centi- grade. It is of course known that many species | of microbas can Survive being packed i ice, and even higher organisms flourish in the Arctic Circle. Indeed, the extremes ! of temperature for low forms of life are widely separated, and so it becomes a matter of practical public interest, as I shall show, to determine where the limits of vitality in this respect are to be found. The low temperature of liquid air offered a supreme chance to see how microbes comported themselves under exposure thereto, and so our investigators seized on_the opportunity presented them. Exposed for twenty hours to the liquid air temperature no injury was apparently sustained by the microbes. But in the re- cent experiments such germs as those of [ typhold fever, diphtheria, anthrax, chol- | era and other ailments. along with non- disease producing species, were submit- ted to the liquid air test for seven days. In addition to the excessively low temper- ature I must add the microbes In this ex- periment wege subjected to a tremendous mechanical strain. Then came the question of the effecis of both conditions on the vitality of the germs. These results may be summed up in the word nil. Under the microscopes they showed no signs of mechanical in- jury or distortion, and they were as lively —if that term may be applied to denote a_condition of vitality—as they were pre- vious to their chilling and cooling experi- | | | ences. I have referred to the public in which attaches to these ’:nvesunmh-: To know the limits of germ life is an essentlal item in the knowledge of the sanitarian when he undertakes to show jc action can be destroyed and prevented from attacking us.

A Belief That Santa Fe Will Utilize This and thc Haywards Line for Access to Ala- meda County. L Oakland Office San -Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 24. The Contra Costa Board of Supervisors have decided to submit Henshaw-Macdon- ald route for an electric railroad to Point Richmond as the route to be bid upon, and this will be done at the meeting of that board on Monday. This is a complete victory for the two Oakland financiers who are interestec line requested by Mess Henshaw and Macdonald is the shortest route between Oakland and Point Richmond and around the point. It is the most practicable route and includes & spur to the town of San Pablo, thus covering the territory be- tween Oakland and the present terminus of the Santa Fe system. Mr. Heashaw and ready to go ahead with the construction of the road at once. They already have their plans for the construction of the ' road made, and will apply to the Alameda County Supervisors and the Berkeley, | Emeryville and Oakland City Councils as soon as they secure their Contra Costa franchises. These plans contemplate the construetion of an electric road similar to the Oakland, San Leandro and Haywards line. The same kind of cars and the same new road will be patterned upon the long Haywards line. The personal relations between the owners of the Haywards line and the owners of the new system to Point Richmond are so close as to cause the general belief that once the new Point Richmond line gets into Oakland they will work in harmony with the Haywards line, if not form a trafic combination. In fact, it is generally belleved that the Santa Fe system, which seems to be backing with its moral, if not its financial. support, the Henshaw-Macdonald syndi- cate, will then use the new electric sys tem and the Haywards system as a feeder to its main railroad line from Point Rich- mond. An electric railroad combination of this kind would give the Santa Fe sys- tem access to the most populous portions of Alameda County without the necessity of construction of expensive pieces of roadway and the securing of expensive rights of way until their freight traffic | shall require it. | But when the promoters of the new elec- tric road are questioned about this they merely say that thev are ready to build the road; that it will be patterned after the Haywards road and that is all. LEGALITY OF BERKELEY’S COURT IS IN QUESTION BERKELEY, June 24.—A decision is ex- pected now from the Supreme Court of California which will settle once for all the validity of the Berkeley Justice Court. Four liquor cases were appealed ! from the Superfor Court of Alameda County about a month ago on the ground that the Justice Court here was invalid. These cases may possibly be reversed, owing to the fact that evidence showing that a special census had been taken in this city for the establishment of the court had not been introduced. A de- cision of this sort will not, however, af- fect any of the other cases or the court. In speaking of the decision, which is ex- ected early next week, Town Attorney grewmn A. Hayne sald that there was no reason to believe that the Berkeley court was in danger. Justice Robert Edgar, who has been struggling at the head of | Berkeley's uncertain court since its re-es. tablishment last July, feels that the de- | cision of the Superior Cqurt will be up- held and Berkeley justice placed on a sure | footing. The four appealed cases are those of T. F. McNamara, Chris Schlenker, George Fedderwitz and D. Newell.
