BUTTER AND EGGS.
Causes Of the PFesonI Unsettled condiho

Causes of the Present Unsettled cohoi'iott
of the Market
The local Wholesale butter and egg
markets are in the most utterly de7
moraIized condition that has been eA-
perienced for long time. Eggs nave
dropped with q dull thud from - ana
% cents to Is cents and the end la noe
vet if the warm weather continues.
Butter which for choice was seillng
few days ago at IL and is cents is now
down TO Il and Is cents; country goou
was selling at II and 10 cents ana 10
now at 10 and IL cents. Not such
material drop has been experienced IN
local markets for long time.
A produce man yesterday eNPlalaeu
the big declines to reporter. he says
that butterine is making the most sur
nrising strides, and in hotels, restaur-
ants and even in private houses 10 re-
placing the country .'cow butter, 10
the consequent lack OF demand for the
latter. It has become iaterly known
that q GOOD article of butterlne IS JUST
as good for nearly every purpose Us
good country butter. ~,
Eggs have struck the toboggan slide
because the weather this winter mas
been so moderate. Every tall, as 10
pretty we'll known. the great army OF
hens go on strike and take tour
months vacation. This naturally brings
up prices for their popular product
during the winter season. Oflate years
American ingenuity has devised the
cold storage plan by which immense
quantities of eggs are collected in the
fall and are kept in all the freshness OF
youth through the winter. Usually
about the middle OF December these
come on the market at stiff prices.
This year is an exception; the weather
has continued SO mild that the hens
have continued to do business at the
old stand, and as n consequence the
cold storage egg is drug on the mar
ket. These eggs are now being put out
for almost any price, consequently the
fall all around.

is running low, SO that it has been de-
cided to start up in few days to fill up

viduals are now thinking of filling up
their ice storage rooms with manufac-
tured ice, rs the winter has been SO
open they are becoming discouraged at
the prospect for stock of river ice. and
think it policy to fill now rather than
wait until the season opens.

Tha Wine AssoCiatlOn.

SAN Francisco. Aug. 2s.-Today' e
meeting OF the wine growers and the
California Wine association was the
first public meeting held since the
movement assumed shape. Mr.. Rossi,
of the Italan-Swiss colony, said that il
would be impossible to obtain 80 per
cent of the dry wine signatures, owing
to the close approach OF tine vintage.
He wanted to Know If the association
would include the private trade OF the
vineyardists. M Weglein, OF the Wine
association, declared in the negative.
He declared that every vineyardigt in
the state could take stock in the corpo-
ration on the came terms as the incor-
porstors, and said that he believed that
50 per cent OF the Santa Clara vineyard
les would sign the contract, and sug-
eested that change be made go thet
the association could deal directly with
lhe winemskers. This suggestion met
with approv,l, and it will be brought up
at tomorrow meeting.

Tho Poor German Novel.

While the number of second and
third rate novels increases, those that
deserve to be labeled Al are as undoubt-
edly on the wane. The pitiable state Of
tho German book market is partly an
swerable for this result, since it has
driven some Of the ablest contemporary
novelists, such as Sudermann, Ger
hardt, Hauptmann and Voss, to turn
aside from their original and obvious
vocation in order to write indifferent
dramas, because these provo to be moro
remunerative than first class novels.
Veteran standard authors like Freytag,
Dahn and Spiolhagen, who have been
before the public for three or moro de-
cenniums, seem to labor under the dclu-
sion that whatever they now write must
necessarily bo worth reading, and that
a writer who once has achieved fame
has nothing further to do III order to
keep il up but to 30 on producing with
clcckwork regularity certain number
of volumes per ounum, whether or not
these books arc distinguished by any OF
those qualities which mado the reputa-
ton of their earlier works. Black

THE ARAB AND THE JEW.
An Oriental Critics View of Two of th'
Weekly Papers of New York.


Weekly Papers of New York.
A Jewish professor who is versed in
the oriental languages looked over two
weekly papers printed in this city, one
of them in the Hebrew language, with
Hebrew characters, and the other in the
Arabic language, with Arabic charac-
ters. Look" he said es he placed the
two pretty sheets together, "at the
peculiarities of the type used in them.
Take notice Of the power, breadth,
depth, rectangularity and solidarity OF
the Hebrew type. Take notice Of the
Saracenio dalicacy. the ornateness, the
subtloty, ingenuity and curvedness Of
the Arabic type.
''The contrast between them is very
suggestive. Again, the reader who
studies the style of the literary compo-
sitions in the two papers will notice
that Hebrew thought is broad, strong
and upright, like the Hebrew charac-
ters, while the Arabic thought is sinu-
Gus, tenuous and ornate, as the Arabic
characters. The differentiation Of the
Hebrew from the Arabic, both in tho
forms of tho type and in the expressions
Of the mind, will strike every critic
who places the two papers together, looks
at them closely and makes study of
their contents. Yet both the Hebrew
and the Arabs belong to the Semitic
race and are monotheists History and
circumstances must be taken into ac-
count when tracing the characteristic
differences between the two branches of
the family. New York Sun.

TO THE GROUND.

Fire Consumes u Fine Residence on An
geleDu Heights.
A disastrous fire occurred early yes
terday morning ON AngelefIo Heighte,
at the corner Of Bellevue avenue and
Waterloo street.
The elegant two-story residence Of
Henry T. Robbins and ths furniture in
It were entirely consumed. Owing to
the fact that the fire engines can get no
water in that immediate vicinity, it was
all that the department could do, with
the aid Of chemical engines, to save the
houses opposite.
The alarm as turned in at 1926. In
very ehort space OF time two chemicale,
two regular engines and hook and ladder
companies were on the ground, but be
sides playing the chemicals on the three
residences which are directly opposite
and en6eavoring to save a little OF the
furniture nothing could be done by the
fremen to save the property.
MIR. Robbins had purchased the prop
erty only day or two ago. He paid
Si1, 900 for it. He was to have moved in
yesterday, and the furniture in the
house belonged to s. A. Hubbard, wto
was moving out.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
The chief is OF the opinion that it started
in the upper story, but beyond that was
unable to ascertain anything regarding
its origin. Mrs. Robbins, who wac in
the house, believes that it started from
hot curling iron.
II r nearest FIRE hydrant to the place
Is blocks away, and no blame can
be cheu to the fire department for ito

that while dining at the palace OF tho

Between the first and second courses
the door opened, and several enormous
ly large and beautiful cats were INTRO

AS TO THE FLOOD, DOCTORS DIFFER.
Some Think II Local to the Eupl,rntes, 9th

Some Think 1t Local to the Eupl,rntes. 9th
the Melting of tho Ice age.
Suess, in ''Das Antlitz der Erde, "
and Neumayer, in "Erdcsgeschiohte, :"
have attempted to show that tho Mo-
sale account Of the deluge was copied
with little from an original Assyrian
version and that it was q local flood
which took place in the plains of the
Tigris and Euphrates, not in the valley
Of tho Jordan. In a recent number of
Natur Wochenschrift, however, Herr
Richard Hennig tries to prove that a
general flood took place in the ice age
during the quaternary period.
Many facts, such as evidences Of gla-
citation and lowering Of temperature
found in the rocks and in sagas and
myths, as we'll as the vast extension of
a great lake in the far west of America,
whose level was l, 900 feet above that
of tho Salt lake, go to prove that foods
accompanied the retreat Of the glaciers
Countries in warmer latitudes--for ex
ample, the Sahara-were converted into
seas and swa1nrs or wero locally flood
ed. Isolated lands kept clear Of the in
undation-for instance, Egypt-but we
may remind Herr Hennig that, accord
ing to Herodotus, Egypt was formerly
in great part marsh.
1t is curious to note, in connection
with the glacial theory, that an old
Aryan tradition tells Of the "Aryans"
having been driven from their original
seat by the country becoming colder and
the winter longer. The German food
saga tells that "the floods Of the north
came far from their home and were
turned into ice, and the ice stood still,
and the mist which hung over it froSe. "
The sun warmed the drops, however,
and Ymir of Hrimthursen, the frost
giant in the form Of q man, was born
Bors killed the giant, and il his blood
drowned the race Of Hrinthursen ex-
cept Bergelmir, who, in boat, saved
himself and wife, and from them sprang
tho new race Of Hrimthursen. London
