S. W., In distress. She is one of the latest purchases of the firm of Hind, Rolph & Co., and was intended for the Hawailan trade. The fact that she got into trouble off the coast will not bring any joy to those who had not their shares insured. she Emily Reed was purchased in the East by the San Francisco syndicate, at whose head is Hind, Rolph & Co. This concern has proved itself to be one of the most successful on the coast and its house flag is to be seen in every port of the world, The Emily Reed was ordered 1o Australia, Discharging a general cargo %he was sent from Sydney, N. 8. W., to load coal at Newcastle for Hawaii. At the colliers the ship was given dispatch and the captain was in hopes of making a quick run home. Instead, however, he ran into & regular “Maitland” storm and not only the sails went but they took all the topmasts and yards with them. The captain then headed for Sydney. Accord ing to his dispatch to the owners the dam. age is all to the spars and rigging and the ull is “‘as sound as a dollar.” — - BROTHERS MEET OFF THE HORN Two Captains Exchmge Greetings for First Time in Nine Years. The American ship Pactolus, which ar- rived yesterday, is a new addition to the American mércantile marine. = While rounding the Horn she was partially dis- masted and at times the crew feared for the vessel. Captain Watt has a brother whom he has not seen for nine years. The younger Captain Watt is master of the American ship John McDonald, now on her way to San Francisco from an Eastern port. When off the Horn the John McDonald and Pactolus were in company, yand sirange to say it was a dead calm. In all the generations the story of two ships ‘“gamming” off the Horn has never been written, but that i{s what the Pactolus and John McDonald did last November. A boat was lowered from the Pactolus and Captain Watt pald a visit to bis brother. They remained in company for several days and then the Pactolus got a “slant’” of wind and drew away from the wooden ship as though she were an- chored. Now Captain Watt is waiting the arrival of the John McDonald, when he will give his brother the ha! ha! e SR Now in Commission. The battleship Wisconsin is now a part of Uncle Bam's navy. She was accepted from Henry T. Scott by the commander, Captain G. H. Reiter, at noon yesterday and to the s ding of ‘“‘colors” the stars e unfurled.

Notice to Mariners. SAN FRANCISCO LIGHT VESSEL NO. 7. stice 1= hereby given that on or about March 4, 1901, lights will be permanently substituted for the electric lights now shown from Light Vessel 7, and the character- sstic of the lights will be changed to fixed white without eclipses. The height of the focal plane of the lights above the sea will be reduced to fAifty-two feet, and their range of visibility in clear weather will be thereby reduced to 12% miles, the ob- server's eye fiftgen feet above the sea. The order of the lights will not be changed, but the lens lanterns will be suspended below instead of above the masthead galleries. The vessel s stationed about 3% miles out- side of the bar off the entrance to San Fran- > harbor, about 107 miles SW. % W. from ¥ort Point Lighthouse, and about 400 feet to | the southward of the range line marked by Fort Point and Alcatraz lights.

The Inquest held by Coroner Leland yes- terday morning into the cause of death | of Betty L. Anderson, who died at 106 | Eddy street from blood poisoning follow- ing a criminal operation, did not elicit any facts other than those already published. The woman, even on her deathbed, per- sistently refused to give the name of the person guilty of malpractice. She de- clared the operation was performed by a woman who was neither a doctor nor a nurse, but a friend of hers. The' jury returned a verdict that death ensued from a criminal operation per- formed by some person unknown. The brother of the dead woman, a | miner near Denver, Colo., telegraphed | yesterday to'a local firm of undertakers | to take charge of the remains. Two let- ters from William Baker of Scottsville, Cal., addressed to the dead woman, ar- rived by mail yesterday morning, and were opened by Coroner Leland. The | writer acknowledged himself to be the | author of the woman's trouble, and tndi- rectly the cause of her death.

XL.—HOWTO FIGURE EXCHANGE ON LONDON. The par of the currency of any two countries means among merchants the | equivalency of a certain amount of the | currency of the one in the currency of the other, supposing the, currencies of both countries to be of the precise weight and purity fixed by their respective mints. | according to the mint regulations | of Great Britain and France, £1 is equal | to %.2 francs, which is said to be the par between London and Paris. The exchange between the two countries is said to be at par when bills are bought and sold at this rate. When £1 in London buys more than 2.2 francs exchange is said to be in favor of London. The par of exchange between Great Britain and the United States is 4.3 2-3; that is, £1 is worth | $4 8623 Exchange is quoted daily In| New York, Chicago and other cities at 4.57 or 4.87% or 4.89, etc., for sight bills and at slightly lower rates for sixty-da bills. These are the two kinds of bills usually bought. The sixty-day bills are as good as cash when they reach London, | but they are cashed at a discount from their face values if presented before ma- turity. It is sufficlent for the student in this connection (1) that the value of Eng- lish money expressed in dollars and cents may vary from day to day according to the condition of the money market; (2) that to pay an English invoice we go to @ banker doing a foreign business and buy a draft on London (called a bill of ex- change) and send it to our creditor; (3) | that this draft may be payable at sight in | Lc‘ndon, or it may be payable In sixty | days We shall now proceed to change English | money to dollars and cents. Take the fol- | lovxrmg as the face value of an English In- voice: £3 U4s fid £3. We proceed fi and pence to the decimal of a can be done by reducing 14s 4 to pence | and dividing by 240. There are 12 pence | in a shilling, therefore 14s 6d=174d; 174240 =.12%. There are 240 pence in a pound. Then £3 14s 6d=£3.725. But this result can to’ reduce the shillings | a;)und This | | be reached much more easily by the fol- | lowing rule: ‘Write one-half the shillings for the first figure of the decimal; multiply the pence by 4 for the next two figures; if the last product is between 12 and 3§ add one, if between 36 and 48 add two. If the shillings | are uneven add five to the second decimal ure. uppose, for flmstratlm !hn the rate of ‘ exchange is 4. or 4.575, and that we de- Sire to find the Value In American money | of £5 9s 6d.

IT and XI we learned how to do what is commonly known as simple equations. This lesson | teaches how to solve equations in which | We simuita- | call such equations deuble or neous. Consider the equation x+y=5. | 1t is easy to see if we give any value to ¥ we can find a corresponding value of x which satisfles the equation; for instarice, if we take y=1 we get x—4, and if we take | y=2 we get x=3. But suppose that we have another| equation, x—y=1, then the only values wh!)vh satisfy both equations are x=3, To solve the simpler forms 4f simulta- neous equations proceed as follows: 1. Simplify each side of the equations. 2. Transpose all the terms fnvolving the unknown quantities to the left-hand side | the right-hand side in each equation. 3. Simplify the equations by combining | similar terms. | 4. Multiply the equations by such num- bers as will make the coefficients of one gf }t‘he unknown quantities the same in | ot By adding or subtracting the two | equiations obtain an equation which in. volves only ore of the unknown quanti- tie: | 6. Sole the equation so obtained. The | result gives the value of one of the un- known a tities, 7. Put the known quantity in either of the given equations, and thus a simple equatidn is obtained which will give the value of the | other unknown quantity. Illustrative Exercises. | 1.

When the value of one of the unknown quan- tities has been found it does not matter which of the equations is used to find the other. Exercises for Practice. ¥ » o XLIL-HOW TO FIGURE PRICE LISTS. In many manufacturing and wholesale establishments the making of price lists involves a lrge amount of arithmetical calculations. Suppose, for instance, that an article costs $2 40 to masufacture, that the manufacturer desires to make 30 pers cent profit, and that he must allow the buyer a discount of 20-10%. Here the list | price must be such that after a discfunt of 2-10% is deducted the price will be §2 ¥ plus 50%, or 33 60. A list price of 35 will leave a net price of $3 6. The model ex- ercise given below shows how to find this | list or catalogue price: Model Exercise.

'COLLECTION DAY WILL NOT BE DISCONTINUED Board of Trade Find Fiscal Year s Conditions for the Satisfactory. The regular annual meeting of the Board of Trade was held yesterday aft: noon. After the report.of President A. A. | Watkins felicitating the members on the prosperous mercantile conditions during the last fiscal year and giving an encour- aging forecast for the next trade year had been read Sanford Benneit Introduced a resolution J;rowldlns for the abolition of collection His motion precipitated S gencral debate and at times much feol- ing was displayed by the older merchants | in their defense of this time-honored Cali- tomla business custom of setting aside two days in each month for the collection of bills. Mr. Bennett In advocating his measure contended - that tne system of sending numerous collectors scurrying over the city on the 13th and 28th of eac! month was a relic and a tradition of * :and tended to confuse the office work of large houses. He also declared that ths system threw neediess temptation in ths | way of young and inexperienced men and was a superfluous expense to the trade. C. R. Haydon followed in a similar ar- | gument, but he was willing to leave mat- ters as they stood provided collectors ba | used onlyin :fimm cases where payments were slow. He maintained that as all Eastern accounts were settled by the use ot checks and drafts the same pian could | Iy established in the transaction | al business and introducs an iment to the Bennett resolution pro- ‘:ldlng that the wholesale houses be re- uested to choose uniform dates for ti settlement of their accounts by checks.
