It is confidently ex- pected that a combination of the spectro scopic results obtained at Mount Hamil- ton and Santiago will lead to a very satis- factory solution of the troublesome prob- lem of the motion of our solar system thrugh space. There iz little doubt that, as in the Mount Hamlilton observations, the dis- coveries made as by-products of the in- vestigations will rival in sclentific inter- est the results which comprise the main purpose of the work. One or two of these by-products may be mentioned. It was found, for example, that at least one star | in seven, and probably a very much larger proportion, is attended by invisible companions. This is in addition to the companion stars visible in ordinary tele- scopes and known to astronomers as double stars. For instance, observation more than any other for hun- dgeds and thousands of years, was dis- covered, four years ago, to have two dark, invisible companians, making it a triple system; or, counting the distant, well- known visual companion, a quadruple system.

The Board of Supervisors last night ef- fected a reduction in the rates to be charged for gas during the next fiscal year by passing to print an ordinance fix- | ing the maximum rate to be charged for | gas to consumers at $120 per 1000 cubic feet, a reduction of 10 cents below the present rate. The rate for street lamps | was reduced from 9 cents to 8 7-10 cents. candescent and electric lights. | The Light Committee had recommended | a rate of $115, which Attorney McCutch- en sald would effect a reduction of $100,000 in the revenue of the San Francisco Gas Company, and he appealed to the board not to adopt the rate. Connor disapproved the recommenda- tion of the committee, and his motion to amend by fixing the rate at $1 20 was sec- onded by Eggers. ‘W. B. Bourn, president of the company, pleaded for a $1 25 rate, the price which some consumers are paying at the pres- ent time, and a 9-cent rate for street lamps. He said higher wages for labor would increase the cost of gas to & cents per 1000 next year. Wilson explained that the 51 15 rate was agreed upon by the committee as a re- sult of the evidence showing that the cost of production of gas had béen reduced from about $1 to 79 cents per 1000 feet. Wilson said he did not think the board should make good the disability of gas companies owing to dissensions among them, whereby rates had been materially cut. Curtis spoke in opposition to the rate of $1 15 on the ground that a 15-cent cut was 0o great. Wynn argued that the rate was j to ADVERTISEMENTS.

They showed that the waters of mei Alameda Creek system are of exceptional pur- ity. It is a question whether any city of the United States has a water source that is s the water fro the m. I think the Spring re entitled to that knowl- edge, and the people of San Francisco cer- tainly ought to know that the water from the main source of the city supply is hygienically good and of exceptional purity.
