A FUOK KULE.

ItHas Proved That It Only Works OneWay.

The San Francisco School Department iswaking up to the fact that this city Is beingheavily taxed for the »llppo:t of a certaingrade of schools that does not exist here,and in return for which it receives abso-lutely no benefit. The Legislature last insession passed a bill levying n tux for a"Grammar School Course Fund," designedto maintain a high school course in allcountry grammar schools, so that pupilsmay be fitted for the University withoutgolnz elsewhere to ttike a high school course.Such a course does not exist in this city, andyet a large sum goes into the fund fromhere. The main objection i* that while it isnot nearly all used for the purposes In-tended, it has to be paid notwithstanding,and meanwhile, all manner of economy liasto be practiced in ban Francisco for lack ofmoney.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

Sharp Increase in Local Bank

Clearings Last Week.

Hops Weaker— Wool Advancing— 4 Break in

Silver—Wceat Sail— Good Trade in

Groceries and Canned Fruit.

Last week was satisfactory from mostpoints of view. The local bank clearings ex-ceeded those of the same week in 1889 byover $5,000,000, being 520,C75,544, againstSIS,GGG,U94. The wholesale grocers did agood business and the canners of fruit werekept busy as usual. The markets, however,exhibited few paiticular features.

Silver has broken from about 51 10 to Si 13per ounce, the reason given ing that moresilver is offering than the Government isobliged by law to buy. Money is linn andin fair demand. Exchange on New Yorkhas risen slightly during the week.

THE NEW LENS.The Wonders of the Heavens Re-

vealed Through the Telescope.

\u25a0When Iconsider thy heavens, the work of thySneers, the moon and the »tars which thou lastordained, what Is man, that tbou art niludful ol

him ?

Man knows no*- the possibilities of thetelescope; but by his close observations anilattentive research, investigations nndualutal aptitude for invention, lie availshimself of the power which is daily pro-ducing marvelous results. The Grecianphilosopher and astronomer Tliiles whowas born between six and seven hundredyears before the Christian era, and wliowas the leader among the sewn sre.it philo-sophers til thai time, little knew how hisawkward and primitive modes of study andinvestigation would be succeeded by dis-coveries and instrument* o£ discovery,which might startlo the world, had theseImportant results been more rapid. Somany wonderful results have originatedfrom the careful.' observation and study ofsmall things, that even ill this advance! andtruly wonderfulage, we should never pussover Inattentively the most trifling thin;!that tends to the higher and grandest eleva-tion <>t science.

Franklin with the aid of a boy's toy drewIrnm the clouds that strange element wliichlias since become one of man's most obed .witslaves. The discoveries of Newton andUuyj.'hcns and the theories advanced bythem in the discovery of the luminous parti-cles which produce light, tlie blacken-ing of sliver by the sun's rays which led totho discovery of the chemical agency oflight, the mysterious productions of all n:i-

ture through the agency of heavenly bodiesami Influences, might well create Id us thedesire and determination to come in closercontact with those marvelous wonders ofspace, and thereby aid In the continual de-velopment of a knowledge that has done somuch toward and which will eventuallybring us iutocommunion with that wisdomand power which is the source of all truthand happiness. In this critical age man isnotsiiutied with questionable science; hedemands and receives demonstrative science,

mid by the*e demonstrations he is slowlyyet surely aiding in the destruction of thoseevils winch are the result of ignorance amisuperstition. The abuses of name resultfrom the iaek of knowledge, not ftum thepossession ol it, and as man becomes wiserfrom th»- possession of the knowledge to be j

derived from the influences of all heavenlybodies upon earthly forms ami substances,so willhe become a better man in all the re-lations of life.

By t!ie aid i>£ that wonderful structure,the telescope of the human b »ly -the eye—we are enabled to discover and read thecharacter of that most wonderful of allcreation

—man. Wo are enabled through

it-* agency to penetrate, to describe and ex-pose, that mysterious quality th.it cannot boBeen or touched, but which nevertheless ex-ists. Itis so line, intangible, impalpable,a rv, that itoccupies no space, ami yet tillsthe whole world. God in his great wisdomfurnished us with an ever-ready Instrumentby which we could detect these qualities mour race, which makes man niton the greatenemy of man, and leaves it for us to dis-ci v.-r and furnish, after thousands of yearsof patient, anxious study and disappoint-ments, '.he simple Instrument which was toassist his creation— the eye—in discoveringtho agencies which endow us withall theblessings and benefits of this life. Andslowly, and through suitable mediums, ashe linus us able to cotupri'h-ud th« wondersof his throne, will be reveal greater won-ders to us. The formation of massive tem-ples and the establishing of truth is alwaysthe Work of ages. We should rej ice thatthere are .-till vast fields of discovery yet tobe explored, and that those inspiring ele-ments in nature, the sun, moid, stars andthe planets, possess still grander mysteriesWhich we shall yet behold.

Astrology, or magic as it was called in themiddle' ases. became the parent of modernastronomy. it was used by the wise moil

or llililiWlllwn of that luuu to foretellliitute events by the positions and aspectsof the st.irs, and we all know that theknowledge of its great power was usedagainst the ignorant masses with disastrousresults. To-day, its use is for the purposeof distributing only the noblest thoughts,and creating ttie grandest results.

In the v packing of the glass to be usedin the construction of the great telescopefor the University of Southern California,at Cambridge, Massachusetts, one can realizewith what tender feelina this magnificentlens was uncovered. Those who werepresent "fondled it as though raising achildfrom its cradle." And well they mightUntil placed in its position, and furnishedwith all tho requisites necessary to producethe grand results prophesied lor it,itmustpass through as many trying and criticaltests, as the child does betore reaching man-hood. And then the result! How anxiouswe shall all be for its success. Space willnot permit of mentioning 01 describing thomany kinds of telescopes which from timeto time have been presented to the Scientificworld to assist students and lovers of as-tronomy to pursue their Investigations andstudies. Allsuch are familiar with the nro-gress and results, and they are among themany thousands who will watch with in-terest the workings of this lens, whichpromises for them so much.Itis claimed that this gl.iss willmake the

moon, whose orbit i5240,U00 miles from theearth, and which is the nearest of tieheavenly bodies to the earth, "

look as ifitwere only 100 miles «way ;and ifthere areany cities or large buildings on its surfacetheir presence willhe revealed." "Anditwillalso settle, the question as to the at-tempt of the inhabitants of tint planet Marsto communicate to the people of the earthby the use of signals."

Outside of our own orbit Mars is ournearest neighbor. When on tun samp sideof the sun as the earth it is 34,000,000 ofmiles from 08, but when it swings to theopposite tide of its mint is abnit -ti1.000,000of miles run us. That is why it is so muchbrighter and apparently larger at one timethan another, it completes its revolution in(i»7 of our days, or nearly two ol our years.

Astronomers have made accurate and In-teresting maps of Mars as seen through thetelescope, showing its oceans, rivers, moun-tains and plains. And shall we see itsin-habitants? And, seeing them, how shall wesalute them? a. J. HXXCHKIVL.

ALONG THE BAIL.

Quandary of the Engineers' Griev-ance Committee.

The Difficulties Arising on tin Atlantic Sys-

tem Hast Be Taken £ lewhere for

Adjustment.

The Engineers' Grievance Committee yes-terday held another conference with A. N.Towne, also a secret session nt its hall onBush street. Nothing definite can be learnedas to the outcome. Whether they will taketheir grievance to the managers of the At-lantic system for settlement, or still persistin having the matter adjusted at Fourth andTownsend streets is at present a conun-drum. That they will eventually be com-pell' d to adopt the former there can ba nodoubt, as the ofll'ials of this system arestrum: inopinion that they have no author-ity to treddle with difficulties which mayarise on a system over which they have nocontrol, especially such matters as the mxc.under discussion at present. Speaking ofthe situation yesterday Assistant GeneralSuperintendent Pratt said:

REVIEWING THE SITUATION."As far as our system is concerned every-

thing lias beeu adjusted la a manner alikesatisfactory t" engineers and officials. Thedifficulties which remain unadjusted belongexclusively to the Atlantic system. Wo haveashed the men to look to the.management ofthat system fora settlement, but they per-sist in having the matter arranged at thisoffice, which is entirely out of the question,for the simple reison that we do not even re-ceive reports from that system and knownothing of the troubles of the men employedthere. When itis necessary for an investi-gation of Atlantic affairs to be nutdu at thisoffice, we must go to the trouble of sendingfor the officers of that branch, and use inthe Investigation their testimony concerningthe subject in question. Itmakes us a greatdeal of trouble, and only in cases of treatimport an: matters of any kind referred tothis office for adjustment.

LEFT OUT INthe COLD.A committee representing the freight

trainmen of the .Santa Cruz Division (nar-row gauge) called yesterday at Fourth andTownsend streets, by invitation of Mr.Fill-more, to talk over the subject of wages. Itseems that in the work of the late Train-men's Grievance Committee, which accom-plished so much for men on other divisionsof the system, this division was not repre-sented, and consequently derived no benefitfrom the general advance in wages. Theemployes here ask for the same proportion-ate advance as granted the others, and thisthey were promised at the conference yes-terday.

MISCEI^AKEODS^

Good N%ws!No one, who is willing to adopt the rightcourse, need be long afflicted with boils, car-buncles, pimples, or other cutaneous erup-tions. These are the results of Nature's ef-forts to expel poisonous and effete matterfrom the blood, and show plainly that thesystem is ridding itself through the skin of

.Impurities which itwas the legitimate workof the liver and kidneys to remove. To re-store these organs to their proper functions,Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the medicine required.That no other blood-purifier can comparewithit, thousand? testify who have gained

Freedom-from the tyranny of depraved blood by theuse of this medicine.. "Fornine years Iwas afflicted withaskindisease that did not yield to any remedyuntil a friend advised me to tryAyer's Sarsa-parilla. With the use of this medicine thecomplaint disappeared. Itismy belief thatno other blood medicine could have effectedso rapid and complete a cure."— AndresI).Garcia, C. Victoria. Tamauiipas, Mexico.

-"Myface, for years, was covered withpim-

ples and humors, for whichIcould find noremedy tillIbegan to take Ayer's Sarsapa-

• rilla. Three bottles of this great blood medi-cine effected a thorough cure. Iconfidently

recommend it to all suffering from similar. troubles."— M.I'arker, Concord, Vt..
