Its Value Is Great to Students of Mineralogy and Geology. * A magnificent a.dition to the mineral exhibit in the Golden Gate Park Memo- rial Museum has been made by Max Braverman of Visalla. It comprises a col- lection of minerals, embraced in ten cases, and containing many rare speci- mens. The ten cases arrived on Satur- day and are now being unpacked and re- corded. Work will then be commenced on a series of labels, each one of, which will be fully descriptive of the specimen to which it is attached. Some idea of the extent of the collec- tion may be gained from the fact that at least several weeks' time will be required in the preparation and printing of the labels alone. In the meanwhile the col- lection will be temporarily installed in flat top cases and kept together in the center of Mineral Hall, so that the public may have an opportunity of seeing it in its entirety. Later it will be arranged in systematic order in the general mineral collection. - The collection numbers about 800 speci- mens and is valued by its former owner at $10,000. 1t is deemed one of the finest private cabinets in the State and about thirty years’ research was necessary in the forming of it. Mr. Braverman states that he has received applications from several Eastern institutions, as well as two on this coast for his cellection, but has concluded that the general public will derive greater benefit from it in the Park Museum than elsewhere, Beautiful Crystallized Minerals. The collection contains many rare spe- cimens not generally found in a private cabinet and embraces besides rich ores and ornamental stones hundreds of attractive and beautiful crystallized minerals from different parts of America and foreign lands. San Francisco on receiving this gener- ous gift can boast of having the finest collection of geodes on the Pacific Coast, if not in the country. There are about thirty specimens of these and no two alike. The collection is very rich in calcites of varlous forms and colors and fluorites in groups of beautiful crystals in differ- ent shades of red. pink, purple, green, yellow, white, etc.,” from' different parts of the world, the celebrated English fluors being fully represented. The group of quartz is particularly in- teresting, there being many wonderful crystallized specimens of various forms, including quartz in phantom crystals— these freaks of nature which show a crystal within a crystal. There are fine specimens of amethyst in crystallized and massive form from Mexico and foreign countries and beautiful hematites. There is a splendid group of silver min- erals, not merely ore-bearing rock, but at- tractive specimens rich in free wire silver. - Other Rare Specimens. Other specimens are the rare mineral known to sclence as arguerite, a combi- nation of silver and quicksilver, found in its natural state, and the very Tare min- erals selenfum, osmium, iridium-and plat- inum. Other specimens that are most Inter- esting are a mineral curio which resem- bles a fungous growth on a decaying tree, known to the mineral world as bernardi- nite; a specimen which looks like a plece of white leather is known to sclentists under the name of pilinite; a ferystal of halite (salt) contains several water bub- bles; the water being inclosed in cavities, which can be seen to move as the speci- men is shaken or vibrated. Ccean Steamer Breaks Record. NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—The North Ger- man Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grésse, which sailed from New York Oc- tober 22, has again broken her eastward record, having arrived at Plymouth at 3:08 this morning, after a passage of five days ten hours from Sandy Hook .light- ship. Captain Hoegeman's cabled dis- patches to the agents of the line stated that the Kaiser had made an hourly average of 22.88 knots and daily runs of 503, 535, 534, 526, 539 and 338 miles. e Paying for the Cruiser. CONSTANTINOPLE (Sunday), Oct. 27. — A further installment was paid yester- day on account of the coptract with the Cramps of Philadelphia for a cruiser, making the total paid in the neighbor- hood_of $70,000. —— NEW ANNOUNCEMENT. ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE. Biology Has Proved That Dandruff Is Caused by a Germ. Science is doing wonders these days in medicine as well as in mechanics. Since Adam delved, the human race has been troubled with dandruff, for which no hair preparation has heretofore proved a suc- cessful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was put on the market. It Is a sclentific preparation that kills the germ that makes dandruff or scurf by digging into the scalp to gét at the root of the hair, where it saps the vitality, causing itch- ing scalp, falling hair and finally bald- ness. Without dandruff hair must grow luxuriantly. Herpicide at all druggists’. It is the only destroyer of dandruff. ‘'THE CONTRAST in the linen we launder and that done bv others is all In our favor.
