At 11 o'clock this forenoon, while the wind blew a stiff gale, reminding one of the day hist fall that laid a third of the city in ashes, the fire bell rang out ari alarm. Instantly'there . was a ; rushing of a thousand feet to the corner of - Sec ond and Court, where a small volume of smoke was seen issuing from 1 the frame kitchen, back of the Haight restaurant. By the time the fire boys got ready to turn on the hose) 'the fire was practically extinguished with only nominal damage.

As the hbse cart started f roin.vjtbeL old ..operaV house building, it-ran into Mr.Taylor'a express . wagon and Judge Bradshaw and Earnst Jensen, who were ; helping to drag ; the cart, almost miraculously escaped being seriously if not " fatally crushed. As it was, the judge was thrown, between , the wheel of the cart and the back part of the express . wagon. -i He immediately fell to the ground, and but for bis activ ity the heavy wheel t of the . cart would have run over his body. When the ac cident occurred the cart was rushing at full speed and Mr. Taylor evidently got in front of it with the intention of drag ing it to the fire.' : " As we go to press the dispatches in form us that Harrison has been nomi nated for president on the first . ballot. !Ti8 well.

Vow Aselekt Um' Wm Strareil. s Two j kinds of boring sea snails sup plied in ancient '. times, the most famous of all dyes, known as Tyrian purple, which was considered too splendid to be worn ,by any but kings and nobles. One, pound of wool dyed with it was worth $175, the process by' which it . was ex tracted being very . tedious and six pounds of dye liquor being required for staining a pound of wool. ' .The liquor was procured by plaeintr the verv small whelks in a mortar and crushing them, lo this the animals extracted, from the larger shells were added, as well as . cer tain proportions of urine and water in .which'.the snails had Jbeen allowed topone 13th and 14th for the purpose of puireiy. in'. :tne; mixture tuns com pounded the cloth or wool . to le dyed was soaked, being afterward exposed to light - Chemists say that by this proc ess there was effected a transformation of uric acid in to parpnrate of ammonia, termed . for : short "murexide," because one of the two species of snails used was the niurex. The other species was what is known as the purpura. , v :' : ' i v . : . sThe murex and purpura were .mixed H the process in the proportion of rtwo to one. ..fabrics thus , dyed had a yexy surprising and beautiful effect of , color, presenting metallic ' green ' reflections from -ow point of view and i in-. , others showing brown and purple tints.;. Chem ists, f ok some , time .imagined that, .tbe iridescence of. the feathers of humming birds and: peacocks was caused by a sub stance of the nature of murexide, but it ia known , now that these brilliant hues are ;ocjasioned by . a structure of the feathers . whiqh i. breaks . up the light Murexide is , now obtained from, guano as well as from, roollnaks.
