A Residence Destroyed Out on tho Mis-
sion Road.
The alarm OF fire turned in from box
% at 1880 O'Clock this morning was
caused by the burning of q residence on
Mission road, nearly opposite the San
Fernando depot. The house was owned
by Alfred Moore and occupied by an
elderly lady named Quick and her
married daughter. The FIRE originated
through Mira. Quick dropping a lamp.
All the household goods, including a
costly piano, we're destroyed. the de-
partment responded, but the house was
of such dry, himsy material that it
burned to the ground in a very few
minutes. The loss will reach $500.

We BEE that some Of our high tariff
advocates are mourning over the fact
that the new schedule. by putting jute
sacks on the FREQ list, has forced q jute
bag factory in Oakland to 60
out Of business. But how about
the farmers OF California, who
arc benefited to the extent Of
1915. 600 year by the reduction in the
price ri jute sacks? They certainly
will not be found doing much kicking as
this feature of the new tariff.

The principal characteristic Of . news
paper is the news. Yesterday morning
A&hs Times only had returns from eleven
outside precincts of the Republican
primaries while the HERALD had
totsty. Almoat any body can put the
right construction on fact like that. 1t
means that this journal shows enter
prise while that published under the

opposite.

The swell Toad Not Naturally BlR-iIow
TO Have Fun with Him.
What Is called the "swelr toad ON
the Carolina and Georgia coast is in his
natural state only about six inches In
length and four inches across the back,
but he Is endowed with wonderful cX-
pansive facilities, being capable of in
fiating himself like Yale football on
the slightest provocation. Many tales
are told of his poisonous qualities and
OF the death-dealing fluids that are
stored away ut the base of his fangs,
but all naturalists agree that the toad
IL nonvenomous, and that stories TO
the contrary are but bits of idle folk
lore. he this as II may, the coasters

charity as they would live RATHER.
The under portions OF tho body OF the
"swell" are of n dirty yellowish white,
corresponding almost exactly TO the
color of the true bufo's belly, but
where the latter Is smooth the former
Is as priclly as the pod of "iimson
weed" In order 10 see him swell out
of all proportions II is only necessary
to rub this priclSly surface with cane,
stick or other object. To do this prop
erly the creature must, of course, be
turned upon his back, and the funny
part Of the whole experiment is thisi
lie cannot expel the air which the ir-
ritation has caused him 10 inhale until
he has been turned right side up. Al
though originally six-inch animal,
the st. Louis Republic says It has been
known to expand until II is us tight as
a drum and had lost all semblance TO

lated Of them that they would CON

The great pyramid OF Gizeh is the
largest structure of any kind ever
erected by the hand Of man. Its origi-
inal dimensions at the base were 7O4
feet squire, and It's perpendicular
height in the highest point Is 4ss feet;
IL covers four acres, one rood and
twenty-five pcrches Of ground. and has
been estimated by an eminent English
architect to have cost not less than
ESQ, 900, 600, which In United States cur
rency would be about sl45, 100000. In
ternal evidences proved that the great
pyramid was begun about the year 27O,
u. c., about the time OF the birth OF
Abraham. II Is estimated that about
5000, 900 tons Of hewn stone were used
In its construction, and the evidence
points TO the fact that these stones
were brought distance OF about roo
miles from quarries in Arnbln.

FROM FARM TO DARKROOM.

Tue Journey and Gradual Increase In Price
of n Busbsl OF Corn.
Illinois is the great corn state ana
Peoria is the center Of its most prolific
belt. Peoria is IA great grain marlSc,
and especially for corn. Vast quaint.
ties OF the golden grain are shipped
into that city for general distribution
and loaded into its mammoth eleva-
tors by the hundreds of thousands OF
bushels. A great deal OF corn Is shipped
from Peoria, but vast quantity h
used there. There Is more corn used
In Peoria than in any three cities In
the union, even though these cities be
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago
The reason Is obvious, says the Peoria
Herald. Peoria Is not only the center
of the great distillinR interests, but
there are located two of the greatest
sugar houses In the country. Down
the cnpacious maws of the great dis
tillcries arc poured every day 10000
bushels OF corn. The sugar houses
use from 5000 to 10000 bushels more
each day In the year. To supply the
constant demand the product of 1000
acres OF rich corn la nds Is daily shipped
into Peoria for home consumption.
Aside from these there are fully 5000
bushels used daily for other purposes.
So that IL Is safe to estimate that fully
1000, 900 bushels Of corn are used In
that city annually for manufacturing
and other purposes. The greater part
OF this Is manufactured into spirits.
II is wonderful TO consider the
changes made by n bushel OF corn In
its transition from the owners crib to
the glass OF the consumer. These
changes are various and far reaching.
| They are other than financial. But
consider simply the mere element of
value. Corn was sold the other day in
Peoria for 80 cents per busheL II came
all the way from Nebraska, perhaps,
where IL brought but 20 cents. In
transit two dealers received commits
sion OF cent each. The railroad COM
pany received cents for its freight
and other charges. The distillcr paid
80 cents. lie took and converted II
into four and half gallons OF finished
spirits and fed one of his steers ON the
refuse. The distiller sold the spirits 10
a local dealer for S. II, of which Uncle
Sam received sl.05 as tax on the spir-
its, leaving a balance TO the distiller OF
~ cents after he had paid IS cents for
his corn. The spirits, after being well
watered and compounded, are sold at a
profit by the compounder and rectifer
TO the dealer, who sells out at 10 cents
drink. The four and one-half gal
Ions have swelled TO nine, and before
1t gets through IL swells many head
and also the revenue of the city where
its lines may be cast. So that, In its
travels from the Nebraska crib 10 the
Chicago saloon, that bushcl of corn
has increased In value from 20 cents "a
many dollars, and with its constant
running mates has furnished employ
ment TO at least TO fifty men or more
and has contributed TO both the nation
al and municipal revenues. Such
magic there Is in the Juice Of the golden
corn. OF the Juice of that one busbel
