German Chemist Makes Use of Catalytic Re- action. PESESE IR . Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Aug. 2).—Sclentists are much interested In two important discove eries made by Professor Wilhelm Ostwald, the German chemist. One of these relates to photography and its crowning merit lles in the fact that by means of the new print pictures from negatives without any “Jlght, and the other relates to a new method of producing nitric acid from am- monia. Professor Ostwald is now in this | country, baving recently delivered the ad- dress at the dedication of a new physio- logical laboratory at the University of California. The ordinary methods of printing pho- tographs are more or less expensive, the | main reason being because they are based {on the supposition’ that light must pass through the negative before the required chemical changes can take place in the sensitized paper. Professor Ostwald produces the same { result by means of so-called catalytic re- action. " This is apparently due to the presence of substances known as cata- lysers, but these substances merely in- | crease the speed with which reaction | takes place. For example, hydrogen and | oxygen can exist together and apparently do not react on each other at all under ordinary conditions, but as soon as cer- | tain substances, for instance, fine plat- inum or finely divided silver, comes in contact with the mixture chemical union will take place, which may go on so fast that the whole mass will explode. In this e platinum or silver has acted as cat- Stmply by its presence it pro- es chemical reaction. Professor Ost- wald makes use of this principle by treat- ing an ordinary silver negative with a | solution of hydrogen peroxide. —_———— University of Heidelberg. BERLIN, Aug. 29.—The Univergity of Heidelberg has been celebrating for sev- eral days the century of its reopening. The rectors of many other German, Aus- trian and Swiss universities have been present. Professor Hugo Munsterburg represents Harvard University. The Grand Duke and Crown Prince of Baden and Prince Max are attending, while the many strangers include a large number {of Americans.

R Famous Washingon Inventor Is Coofident of Final Results. Langley’s Rival Also Uses the Aero- plene Type, With the Same Birdlike Motion of “Machinery. ol Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—While Pro- fessor Langley and his army of assist- ants are laboring to make the “Buzzard” fly on the lowey Potomac, apother Wash- ington inventor has constructed and put to test a model of a flylng meachine which, he says, actually flies, Enlle Berliner, who distinguished him- self years ago as the inventor of the telephone transmitter and the grapho- phone, is the man. Berliner's machine 1s much after the plan devised by Pro- fessor Langley. It is not one of the San- tos-Dumont type, with a balloon attach- ment to hold it In suspension, but one which depends entirely upon a bird-like motion of machinery to hold it in the alr. The aeroplane Is utilized by Be liner, who experimented with this kit like apparatus so long as thinty years ago. So far all of Berliner's experiments have been with small models, In which. a stream of compressed alr or gas is used for driving the aeroplane forward. The principles he has utllized have been for- mulated through a study of the flight of birds. In Berliner's opinfon a flylng machine should be of such structure that when moving forward horizontally it will pro~ duce a current of compressed alr, with a tall surface for lifting the machine, and with a light motor moving the entire ma- chine rapldly forward. Along these lines he has buflt a model which even In its crude state lifts in flying a weight equal to one pound for every square foot of horizontal area and moves at a speed estimated at little less than twenty miles an hour, This model is of aluminum and tin with metal tubing and supports and weighs about thirty pounds, including ballast. Berliner announced to-day that on Au- gust 19 his model lifted itself from the ground and in a perfectly steady flight reached a height of eight feet. For a dls- tance of fifty feet it maintalned itself at a uniform height of three and a half feet from the ground. No catapult was required to start the machine. The im- petus which a man could give it with one hand was all that was necessary to project it into space. —————— CARPENTERS AND PLUMBERS STRIKE AT SANTA BARBARA Unless Agreement Can Be Reached All Building Work Will Be Sus- pended on Tuesday. SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 20.—Unless an agreement can be reached between the | Building Trades Council and the employ- ers’ association known as the Citizens’ Alliance work on nearly every bullding in Santa Barbara will be suspended Tuesday morning. Yesterday the carpenters em- ployed on two buildings, the plumbing work on which was being done by a locai hardware firm recently declared “‘unfair,” went on strike. To-day the Citizens' Al- liance executive committee held a meet- ing and adopted resolutions which com- mit the alllance to a policy of resistance of all demands of the unions. This morning many plumbers went on strike. This afternoon other firms connect- ed with the Master Plumbers’ Associa- tion and affiliated with the alliance posted notices stating that all plumbers in their employ will be laid off indefinitely. As all the unions connected with the building trades are known to be ready to stand in with the plumbers, a general tie-up is be- lieved certajn. To-night it is reported that the Central Labor body may enter the contest by recommending that mem- bers of every union in the city cease work if necessary in order to make a show of union strength. It has been conceded by members of the alllance and local labor leaders that the plumbers’ fight will be made on the basis of a test of relative strength of employers and the unions, the Citizens’ Alllance supporting the cause of the for- mer. The resolutions of the alllance read: “We do not court, nor do we fear, a strike.” The Bullding Trades Councll replied in like language. A large amount of build- ing 1s now under way here and a strike will cause loss and delay. ————— MEMBER OF THE MINERS UNION IS SENT TO JAIL Must Serve Sixty Days’ Imprison- ment for Disregarding Restrain- ing Order Issued by Court. PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug. 20.—The cases of M. J. Connelly and Henry Pitts, mem- bers of the Miners' Unlon, charged with contempt of court for alleged violation of the injunetion restraining them from interfering with the operation of the mines, were heard to-day by Judge R. E. Sloan. Connelly was found gullty and sentenced to sixty days in jail. The tes- timony was not sufficlent to convict Pitts, and he was discharged. ———S CONDITION OF HANNA IS NOT ENCOURAGING CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 20.—The con- dition of Senator Hanna is believed to be more serious than his physiclans will ad- mit. The Senator himself does not be- lieve he is a very sick man and talks of taking part in the Ohlo campaign. He is quite weak, however, and his medical advisers will not promise that he will be out soon. He will be obliged to remain in bed for & week or so and may be confined to his house for a considerable time. ————————— Settle Will Contest Out of Court. REDDING, Aug. 20.—All of the contests of the will made by the late W. L. Smith have been dismissed and Mrs. Mae Helene Bacon Boggs will enjoy the benefits af the estate left by her uncle and in ac- cordance with the provisions of his will. Mrs. Maggie McKinney Smith, who claims to be the widow of the lat: W. L. Snith, filed a contest of the will. Mrs, Dazarene Frost, representing herself and other Eastern heirs, also entered a con- test and both Mrs. McKinney Smith and Mrs. Dale prayed the court to suspend Mrs. Boggs as executrix. The case prom- ised to be long drawn out, and somewhat sensational developments were promised.

PRODUCES FIGURES TO SHOW, AR Continued From Page 21, Column 3. Angeles * increased only $51,000,000. Dodge stated that within the past five years he had ralsed the assessment on real property in San Francisco $40,000,000. Market-street property had been ralsed considerably within the past three years, the Biythe block having been increased $352,000, the Phelan block $256,000 and the Baldwin block $548,000. CRITICIZES EXPERT'S WORK. Reverting to the regort of the expert to the State Board of Equalization, Dodge eald he had taken the sales in a certain district in the city where properties are constantly on the Increase and had sought to make it appear that all prop- erty values should have been assessed on the basis of these sales. Not a sale had been reported from the Richmond, Sun- nyside, Potrero or South San Franclsco districts. Had there been it would have been shown that properties in the sec- tlons named are assessed for all they can stand, Dodge declared. In concluding his argument Dodge re- minded the members of the board that when San Francisco's assessment was raised $50,000,000 several years ago no ap- peal for a reduction was made. The city and county had been paying on this in- crease all these years, and has further increased its valuation $75,000,000. He said it would not be fair to raise San Fran- clsco’'s assessment above the amount re- turned on the tax rolls. Mayor E. E. Schmitz was asked if he had anything to say and he replied that Assessor Dodge had covered the ground very fully, and beyond asking that no in- crease be made he had nothing to say. The board then took the matter under advisement. It will not make known its decision for several days. RN SRS CITY’S ASSESSMENT. Revised Roll Shows Aggregate Sum of $427,641,648. The corrected figures of the assessment roll of this city and county for the year 1903, as completed yesterday by Auditor Bachr and his force of deputies, show a total valuation of $427,641,648, subdivided as follows: Real estate . -$201,507,990 Improvements 08,534, 160—$300,002, 150 ,953,430 Personal property . Money and sol credits . 83,596,160— 127,549,508 Thie is an increase of §189,538 over the valuation of $427,452,110 returned by As. sessor Dodge. The city Board of Equall- zation added $63,257 to the roll, which makes a net increase of §126,301 over the Assessor’s returns. In this connection it is interesting to note that should the State Board of Equalization decide to raise the assessed valuation its action will not affect the assessments on cash, solvent credits or mortgages. These represent a stable val- uation and cannot be changed. The State board has no power to raise the rate of $1.076 imposed by the Board of Supervisors, but could raise the rate for State purposes. In the year 1891-1892, when the assess- ment roll was raised,” the valuation of real estate and improvements was in- creased from $277,340,008 to $332,808,010, and the valuation of personal property from $68,884,698 to $79,239,002. The entire roll was raised from $346,224,706 to $412,047,076, an in- crease of $65,522,370. The Political Code provides that the State Board of Equalization may raise the valuation by such percentum as is suf- ficient to raise the property to fits full cash value, but it cannot raise any mert- gage, deed of trust, contract or other ob- ligation by which a debt is secured, money or solvent credits above their face | value, Throughout the world about 3 per cent of women gain their living directly from the sea. PARIS’ LATEST PRODIGY A TEN-YEAR-OLD ARTIST His Name Is Pierre Grenard and He Paints Wonderful Pictures From Memory. PARIS, Aug. 20.—Paris, which lately paid homage to a child dramatist of 14 years, who was admitted to the Society of the Men of Letters of France, now boasts of a child artist. His name is Plerre Grenard. He is the son of a bank- er and is only 10 years old. He has re- markable talent, but paints altogether from memory. A model or a picture to copy from perplexes him. His father once bought him a box of colors to amuse him. In a little while the child presented him with a water color that startled the father. Some oil colors were then given him, and he is now laynched in art at the age of 10 and already is much more suc- cessful than many painters who have passed through the schaols. —_———— Within eight months we have recelved enough emigrants from Europe to re- people ireland.
