RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Elm Demidoff, . Russian Whose Wealth
Is of Recent Creation.

Is OF Recent Cre6CtOn
Like the English millionaires, those
of the cars dominions mostly derive
their revenues from landed property.
While the Briton, however, devotes a
large part of his gross income toward
improving his possessions and to the
amelioration of the lot of his tenants in
one way or another, the Russian, on
the other hand, extracts every farthing
that he can from his property and
spends it upon himself, the result being
that agriculture in Russia is going
from bad to worse, that formerly fer
tile and productive estates have now
become barren and impoverished, and
that, while the peasantry are in state
of misery bordering on famine, the
mobiles themselves have been obliged to
mortgage or sell their lands, and are at
the end of their financial tether. OF
course, there are some exceptions, such
as, for instance, the Yousoupoffs, the
Demidoffs and the Scheremetieffs. The
wealth of the Demidoffs is so vast, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune, that
it is beyond calculation, and strangely
enough the fortune is of relatively re-
cent creation, its founder having been
a country blacksmith in the days of Pc
ter the Great. 1t was while travelling
in the Ural mountains that the latter
broke one of his most valuable English
pistols. A village smith mended it so
quickly and so well that the car was
DELIGHTED and ASKED the mans name.
''Demidof, [ shall remember you" said
he as he rode off. The poor man was
beginning to think that Peter had for
gotten him when there came an official
document adorned with the imperial
seal, granting him the freehold of a
great tract Of crown land in the neigh
borhood of the village. Demidoff went
to work on his new property and found
there inexhaustible mines of iron, sill
yer and malachite. Young Elm Dem
idoff-he does not bear in Russia the
italian title of prince generally pre-
fixed to his name by foreigners-is at
the present moment the richest man in
the world, Princess Yousoupoff, with
her great turquoise mines, coming next
in rank. Fortunately, both of them
are more free-handed and generous
than their respective immediate pred
ecessors as head of the family, the late
Anatole Demidoff and the late Prince
Yousoupoff having been alike renowned
for their meanness and avarice, Of
which almost incredible stories are re-
lated.

vague and general way this enables the
catcher to locate them, says David
Bruce Fitzgerald in Lippincott's Maya
zine. Accordingly, it is during the
cold months that, terrapin are taken
most abundantly. Selecting some part
of the bay where the water is shallow
and which has muddy bottom, the
catcher, in his boat, moves slowly
across and across it, continually
thrusting his long pole into the mud
When he chances thus to encounter a
alternating diamond back he seizes his
prey with a pair of oyster tongs, or
some similar appliance, and lifts him
gently into the boat. He rarely finds
very many in a day, and he does not
need to find many in order to make
good wages. On occasions, few and
years between, lucky fisherman will
discover some particular favored spot
where the mud is full of terrapin en-
joying their winters sleep. This is al
most equal to finding small gold
mine. In the winter of 1898 poor ne

THE DREAM OF CHEMISTRY.
Hopes in Time to Produce Palatable Beef
steaks Out of the Elements.


The electrician has one dream and
the social philosopher has another.
But the chemist has also vision of the
alchemist of the dark ages. This is
how he would solve the problems Of
comfort and happiness which have been
put to the human race:
1.-THE chemist hopes for synthetic
beefsteak, for a chemical loaf, for a
cup of coffee made, like his saltwater
extracts, out of inorganic matter He
wants to see the day when synthetic
climate shall envelop the earth, when
the rainmaker shall be prophet and
man shall hold the string to the unruly
bags of Aeolus.
SIN that day the food and raiment of
mankind will be produced in the
crucibles of the chemist Once more
verdure will clothe the fields now de-
faced by human toll, and the shaggy
woods will spring anew on the de-
spoiled slopes of the hills. There will
be no tilling or harvest, no slaughter
ing of tame beasts. Out of the original
elements chemistry will compound
chops and outlets, knead the dough
and brew ale.
'The battle has already been partly
won in the case of medicines and drugs
The wine at the table d'hote never saw
the vineyard The prize fruit flowers
of the drug store are innocent of the
orchard and garden. Synthetic chem
istry is yet young. 1t has made great
advances in the production of glycerine
and sugar. 1t has four thousand devo-
tees in this country who hope to make
the dream a reality"

A MILLIONAIRE'S WORK.
The Mammoth Baths Constructed by
AdOIph Sutro.

The most wonderful baths in the
world are those built by Adolph Sutro,
in San Francisco The great cliffs have
been tunneled, that the water of the
Pacific may flow through a succession
of canals into the reservoir where it is
warmed; and thence into the enormous
tanks. The baths are more than twice
as large as the largest of the famous
old Roman baths, and Mr.. Sutro has
tried to make them as beautiful.
Twenty thousand people can sit, stand,
or promenade about the tanks, which
are arranged for every possible set of
bathers.
There are cold baths and hot baths,
swimming and diving baths, baths for
children and beginners. The largest
tank is two hundred and seventy-fve
feet long and one hundred and fifty feet
wide. There is even a fresh-water
tank, supplied from the waterworks
above.
The place is full of beauty and color,
with tropical plants and rows of grow
ing palms; while through the glass
sidewalks, the ocean view stretches.
The building is of steel and glass, and
its glazed roof spans more than two
acres. Tier after tier of rooms for the
bathers rise, until they are numbered
by many hundreds.
A great stage, fifty feet broad, is
placed at the ocean end of the tank
room for an orchestra. The building
is furnished with electric lights and ell
evators throughout. Three restaurants
provide refreshment, and an aquarium
and conservatory add to the beauty and
interest. The Cliff rocks outside are
covered with seals, summing themselves,
and the finest baths in the world have
perhaps the most beautiful setting.

He Buys Two Cents Worth of Cocoanut
Cakes and Renews His Youth.


''When 1 was boy" said a middle
aged New Yorker the other day, &C
cording to the Sun, Il used to be very
fond of cocoanut cakes, as they were
called, small disks of candied cocoanut,
which cost one cent each. They We're
colored white and red, and 'cnally they
got some chocolate colored, and it
seems to me they had some other
colors If had only one cent bought
usually a white one, though some
times l took a red one; if l had two
cents l bought a red and white, to have
a variety. l have seen the time when
had three cents, and bought all three
colors at once.
Il had not bought any cocoannt
cakes for l don't know how many
years, though l had seen them along
year after year, particularly in sum-
mer, when the dust blows and the
white ones get all covered with dirt;
but the other day 1 bought two of the
new-fashioned kind, that seems Just
now to be having run; you see them
on all the push carts. The new cocoa
nut cakes are all one color, sort of
molasses color; and they are not round
and fiat like the old ones, but thick
and bunchier, like little broken-off
masses of the prepared cocoanut.
Il found them very good. They
differ somewhat from the old-fashioned
cocoanut cake in taste and texture, as
well as in build and color; the old
cocoanut cake, while not brittle, ex-
actly, was what you might call
crumbly and sugary; it dissolved quick
ly in the mouth; while the contem-
poraneous cocoanut cake, after you get
below the light frostworz Of its exte-
rior, has decidedly more consistence; it
is what the modern child calls chevy;
but the cocoanut taste is there all right,
and as eat them they carry me back
to the days of my youth"

SOME FACTs AND FIGURES
They Tell the Tale of the Great
Popularity of Odd
Fellowship.
REBEKAHs ARE INDIGNANT.
Foresters Show a Big Increase In
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sons
New Officers.

There are at present no less than four
grand bodies of fraternal organizations in
session here. Delegates have not come
alone to transact the business connected
with their respective orders, but all have
made the trip with the expectation of
passing an enjoyable time in San Fran
cisco. Realizing this the local lodges have
taken precautions to prevent any possibility
of disappointment on this score.
In the assembly hall of the Odd Fellows
building the Grand Lodge of California, I.
O. o. F., began its convention yesterday
and will remain in session for the remain
der of the week In one of the upper halls
of the same building the Rebekah Grand
Assembly of California also met yesterday
and its session will not come to a conclu-
sion until Friday.
AT 102 O'Farrell street the Subsidiary
High Court, Ancient Order of Foresters of
the Pacific Coast, began a session yester-
day that is likely to continue until Friday.

Honolulu was also represented by dele

When High Chief Ranger s. McMullen
called the meeting to order there responded
to the rollcall 165 delegates, representing
1863 courts out of the $50 in this jurisdic-
ton, which embraces California, Oregon,
Washington, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming,
Colorado, Montana, Arizona, Idaho and
the Hawaiian republic.
It is expected that the session will con-
tinue until Friday evening, though it may
extend into Saturday.
Immediately after the rollcall the high
chief ranger delivered his annual address,
in the course of which he said:
The year just closed has been remarkable
one in our history. Every industry in our
country has languished, commerce was to
great extent suspended, and marked depres-
sion existed in every line of trade. Notwith-
standing this period of stagnation Forestry has
marched steadily forward, and it is with pleas
ure that am able to report gain of sixty-four
courts since the last High Court meeting
Among his recommendations is one that
grand district courts be formed in Wash
ington, Oregon and Utah. He also called
attention to the fact that the membership
of the Jurisdiction had increased 1900 dur
ing the past term.
Committees were then appointed as fol-
lows:
Laws and supervision-W. J. Petersen, Oak
land, w. L. Lambert, Eureka, CAL; j. Hender-
son, San Francisco.
Credentials-G. Il. P. Shaw, Hilyard, WASH;

court secretary; J. G. Jeffres, high court senior
woodward; S. Ferris, high court junior wood
ward; George J. Monck, high court senior bea-
die; A. Kappenman, high Court junior beadle.
According to the report OF High Court
Secretary William F. Foss the order was
formed here in November, 1889, with six
teen courts, representing membership OF
1886 Since that date ia courts have been
instituted, representing a membership OF
over 5000, giving total of 100 courts with
total membership of over 5000.
A number of important amendments to
the laws of the order will be acted upon
during the session. In addition to these
there is project on foot to establish a
country home for mem bers of the order, to
be located near this City. 1t is claimed
that this home could be made self-sup-
porting and that it will save the courts
hundreds of dollars annually. The ques-
ton of providing burial ground for the
order will also be discussed.
The Foresters' courts of this City gave q
pleasing entertainment and ball to the
visiting delegates to the Subsidiary High
Court last evening in B'nai Birth Hall.
The large hall was well filled. After the
entertainment the grand march was
formed and was led by George Friedemann
and Mrs. Friedemann. Dancing was kept
up to late hour, running through twelve
numbers. The entertainment was as
follows:
Address of welcome, s. McMullin, high chief
ranger; song, "Last Watch" Mr.. D. Manlloyd
song "My Dreams" Miss Mile Flynn; drink

mittee.
Tomorrow evening there will be re-
union in Social Hall, A. o. f. building,
under the auspices of the Past Chief
Rangers Association, for the exemplifca-
ton of the secret work. Thursday even
ing there will be grand banquet in honor
of the delegates in the banquet hall of the
A. o. f. building, and on Friday there
will be an excursion about the bay on the
steamer Tamalpais, which will leave the
Sausalito slip, foot of Clay street, at $3.50
A. NJ. This excursion will include trip to
the Mare Island Navy-yard.

Der by the dedication of seven new buildings
which have been dedicated to the uses of our
order, and three more are near completion.
He also reported that three subordinate
lodges had been consolidated with three
stronger ones, that another consolidation
was under consideration, and that one Re
bekah lodge had surrendered its charter.
In connection with the matter of CONSOLE
dation, which can now be effected only I'M
der the direction of the Grand Lodge,
Grand Master Simpson made the recon-
mendation that the Grand Lodge enact
such legislation as will allow the grand
master subject to judicious restrictions, to
consolidate lodges where it is necessary.
In an elaborate table submitted in con-
nection with the report of Grand Secretary
George 7. Shaw it is shown that there are
357 lodges in the State, with an aggregate
mem bership of 306S5, as against 284, 540
voters. During 1894 for the first time in
the history of the order in this State there
was decrease in the total membership.
This was but tifty-six, and is attributed to
the period of financial lstringency which
then prevailed.
The total amount paid during the year
for the relief of members by subordinate
lodges was $26S, 469 80, and for members of
the Rebekah lodges $2317.
There are now 1877 Rebekah lodges IN the
State with an aggregate membership OF
IL, 817-a net gain of 734 for the year.

carried by an overwhelming majority,
asking for the repeal of the new and the re-
establishment of the old law.
Every year when the Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows meets the ladies' branch gives
a social and reunion. Last evening such
an event was held in Odd Fellows Hall
by the Rebekah's Grand Assembly. The
affair was of an impromptu character, but
all had pleasant time. The big hall was
filed to the door. Though the programme
was arranged in an hour, the different fea-
lures were highly appreciated and the par
Elephants loudly applauded. There was a
vocal solo by Mrs. Maud Revolt; Grand
Master Simpson made a few remarks;
Miss Jennie Katzenstein and Miss jessie
Olsen each sang solo; P. F. Gosbey de-
livered short address; there was reci-
tation by Miss Alice Sladler; a song by
Miss Della Crull; an address by Grand

question, are appealing to US to be provided

Several lodges and individuals have ex-

Over 100 members OF the Veteran Odd
Fellows sat down to their annual banquet
last evening in the Hotel Pleasanton.
During the repast music was furnished by
the Park Band Orchestra. The retiring
president, George T. Shaw, introduced the

were made as follows:
