SAN FRANCISCO SINKING.

The officials in the surveyors Office In
San Francisco report that the city is
sinking. Sinking slowly. but steadily,
each recurring year bringing additional
evidence that large portion of the city
will in few decades be below the Wa
ter of the bay. This says the Chroni-
Gle. lis no wild or Irresponsible state
ment, but cold fact, demonstrated and
proved By the careful scientific observa-
tions of engineers in tho service Of the
municipality, men who have been estab-
fishing levels throughout San Francis
co for years. and have the data and rec
ords of the city surveyors office as the
basis of their discovery. These enSin-
GERS find in surveying, or leve!ing, i'll the
unstable districts that the official monu-
ments indicating the levels, or heights
above the city base, have sunk with the
land. and so it is necessary to begin on
firm ground and carry lines over those
sunken marks, and always with the
same result-streets, sidewalks curbs,
street railroads, buildings, all have gone
downward together
The peculiar feature of the sinking
phenomenon is that the whole surface
settles equally, fact which has not on
- LlSO dllSAtlOsl from INc constant
settlement, but also been the source of
endless disputes between owners of land
in the district, who magine the grade is
raised upon him by city surveyors ev-
cry few years.
AN interesting field for mathematical
effort is opened through the city sur
veyor's figures upon this subject The
average sinking of those districts which
insist on moving into neither regions is
two inches year. There is a tendency
to settle less as the years pass though
the settling does not stop. and the ratio
of decrease is so insignificant in compaTi-
son with the time as TO be barely worth
considering. Two inches may, therefore,
be taken as the basis OF calculation In
leo years the water of the bay would be
ebbing through the first stories of build
ings. and the second floors would be what
seamen call awash- But as the fnha Bit
ants of San Francisco will keep on filling
the land. there will be no likelihood OF
such strange happenings.
The cause of this peculiar condition in
large area of the city is ascribed TO the
nature of the soil. which engineers de
scribe as a mixture of alluvium washed
down from the huIsides ooze from the
bay and decayed vegetable matter. the
formation of ages upon the original bed
rock. Engineers say that in places nc
bottom has been reached with piles sixty
to eighty feet long. and the heavy struct-
ureS erected thereon sustain the tremend-
Gus weight by force of friction or re.
sistance against the sides of the piles
How deep is the ooze has not been ascer-
tanned in most places in the sinking area
Nor IS II positively known whether thr
soft substratum moves out into the IA Y
under the pressure, or merely packs firm
er and so becomes more stable

AN INSOMNIA CURE,

a weH-known New York physician.
many years. tells the Herald that sleep
can easily be summoned by a means
within the reach of all. The doctor has
tried his method on his patients and, SIM
pie as II is, has never heard of IL fail
ing. Those who find themselves e,uded
by sleep will do well to try it. and for
their benefit it is here given.
The method is essentially one of self
asphyxiation; nevertheless there is no
reason for fear. for there is no risk. In
deed, it is impossible to asphyXiate ones
self by this means The first thing you
have to do is to take long and deep in
spiration, as much air being drawn into
the lungs as can be borne with comfort.
This air is retained until positive disoom-
fort is felt when it must be slowly ex
hailed. Repeat this process two or three
times and the chances are you will forget
all else until you wake up from your
sleep the next morning.
The explanation of this Is simple
enough. Sleep is due to hyperaemia of
the brain. During Pep there is a flow
of nutrition to the brain; consequent
ly an increase of blood to supply its de-
ficiencies. The semi-asphyNiation brought
about by holding the breath keeps
quantity of blood in the head, with
consequent increased cerebral circulation.
Another point also to which the doctor
calls attention is the habit of sleeping
with the head too high. If the head is
kept low more refreshing sleep is obtain
ed He raises the foot of the bed so that
II forms an inclined plane, but recon-
mends that this be done gradually, as a
sudden change is likely to have an effect
the reverse of that desired. The sleep
thus obtained is more beneficial, and one
awakens with a clearer head and a wider
mental horizon. The neck increases in
size the cerebral circulation is improved
and the influence upon the lungs is SO
great that it will lessen the tendency to
consumption.
Physicians are more and more arriving
at the conclusion that in the case of this
disease drugs are of little value, and
many times are worse than useless. One
should feign not to want to sleep. as 1t
is often a fear of not being able to sleep
that keeps person awake. Then the mind
should not be allowed to concentrate up
on a subject, and the stomach should be
treated to a light repast before retiring
for the night.

eral divorce law, which, IL a little less
exacting than that Of New York, would
not be the encouragement to laxity that
the Western laws are, there would soon
grow up a strong public sentiment
against divorce for trivial causes.
If ecclesiastical bodies take the ini
tiative in urging this on Congress,
other influences will follow in the same
direction, and in time. the desired object
will be achieved. The usual objections
TO Federal action on matters hitherto
the exclusive concern of the States find
hardly any expression in the case of a
bankruptcy law, and will not be raised
against a uniform divorce law. The
need and the benefits are apparent, es-
pecially when we take account of the
injustice suffered by the innocent in
many cases from the present lack OF
uniformity, and of the practical defeat
of the purpose of the severe laws of GER
tain States. For example, New York
allows divorce on only one ground, yet
New York people who obtain DEGREES
elsewhere on the most trivial pleas re-
turn to the State. and are an example
of the successful defeat of the statute.

The Mouse and the Lion.


One of the lions in the Central Park menagerie
has struck up remarkable friendship for a
small brown mouse, who dwels in the building
and makes his Living by stealing little bits OF
carrot frcm the hippopotam and pieces of bread
and cake thrown into the cages of the fesheating
creatures by children who don't know that tigers
won't eat bolivars and candy, but bring them
peanuts and pie just if they monkeys
The nestles in the whiskers of the lion,
and the king OF beasts makes objection at all
The keepers say that the mouse is very young
and silly one because lions tempers very un-
certain, and some day this one may tread on the
mouse or get angry and devour him.
Several older mice have reasoned with the$silly
young mouse, whose name the children say is
Pudgy, and advised him to drop the dangerous
partnership But Pudgy is proud Of his big fiend
and double-dares the other mice TO come into the
cage When the lion roars all the mice for yards
around scamper off, but Pudgy just stays there
and looks ceneeited, if he had been helping to
do the roaring, as if it wouldn't have been quite
so successful il he had not assisted.

FRENCH OFFICIALS.

The civil service in France is on a re-
quired to get into the employment of the
government, and nine-tenths of the boys
are educated with that purpose in view.
Often, it is easy, as the following will
show: Critics of the existing regime
have been denouncing it for years as be-
ing far too kind to people who are on the
lookout for official situations. If it's ad-
versaries are to be believed, it has Gre
ated thousands of new posts out of sheer
good nature, a whole succession Of mem
bers of Parliament having been eager tc
find substantial rewards, of course not al
their own expense, for their most ardent
supporters in electioneering campaigns.
The civil service is t1lus described as hav-
ing developed by leaps and bounds. and
that to such an extent that the day must
| inevitably come when it WIN be utterly
impossible to provide pensions for all the
claimants.
There may be spice of truth in these
structures. but there is certainly vast
amount of exaggeration as well, and ii is
something at least to be able to record
the abolition of a veritab.e sinecure.
There died not so very long ago a worthy

The Divorce Discussion,

The divorce question proved too much

matter was left virtually as it was be-
fore. This seems not to be exactly
what any Of the disputants want, but
was the result Of the failure of a suffi-
cient number 10 agree on a substitute
Before the convention assembled there
was general feeling that the church
should discourage an alleged increasing
laxity in this regard, but there are SO
many and diverse considerations that

OF uniform divorce law. 1t is unde-

The number Of persons OF good social
standing in Eastern communities who

TUESDAY. OCTOBER is, 1928.
The Occupation of Cuba

1t will be q little embarrassing if the
President carries out his purpose to
send troops to occupy the camps re-
Gently selected by Colonel Waring, pro-
vided Spain persists in her understand
ing Of the situation. She holds that
only the Peace Commission at Paris
can determine questions relating 10 the
surrender of Spanish sovereignty, and
that the Havana Commissioners can
only consider the subject of evacuation.
If the Paris negotiations are prolonged
or interrupted, she will refuse TO allow
an American to become the ruling au-
thority at Havana. The President may
send his army there, but it will be un-
der the direction of General Blanco.
Perhaps this is why the Evacua ion
Commissioners have advised the Presi-
dent to wait awhile. They have sug-
gested that Cuba is not as wholesome
now as it will be a little later for
American soldiers-say, when Blanco is
gone. 1t is apparent that we have been
outwitted by the cute Spaniards I'm
mediately after the Blanco proclama-
ton the President authorized the entry
at the port Of Havana Of supplies for
the starving. Blanco demanded an i'm
possible amount of customs duties. and
the idea had to be abandoned. Then
the President determined to get rid of
Blanco. He has failed in this. The
Spanish captain general offered to ad-
init supplies free Of duty as a favor,
which offer the President rejected. Yet
we are now sending in provisions under
favor and any supplies we may send
to our soldiers-if our soldiers are or
dered to that place must 20 in by the
grace Of Blanco.
1t is the opinion of the European dip
lomats that Spain is right in her con
tention; that only the Peace Commits
sion can determine questions relating to
the transfer of sovereignty, and that
either this country must assume sover-
eighty over Cuba or recognized Cubans
must: that there can be no interregnum
OF authorized sovereignty. Apparently
Spain does not object to the evacuation
Of the island by her troops. although
really she does not intend to withdraw
her army until the question of the deDt
Is settled; but she does refuse to allow
Blanco TO withdraw, as governor on
the whole, it looks as though we Call
send no troops to Cuba for awhile.
