BUBONIC PLAGUE IS HERE
Health Authorities Find an Unmistak-
able Case in San Francisco.
REGIMENT OF TROOPS REQUESTED

Fede raj Quarantine Officers Assume En-.
tire Control of the Situation and the
Most Vigorous Measures Are Taken to
Prevent Any Further Spread OF tho
Dreaded Scourge-Chinese Are Excited
SAN FRANCISCO, Gal. CSpeclaD.-The San
Francisco Board Of Health adopted res
olution declaring that the bubonic plague
exists In this city and took measures for
prompt STAN ping out OF the disease. Fed
erul quarantine officials have assumed
entire 20 ntrol OF the situation.
Quarantine Officer Kenyon has asked the
Government for a regiment Of troops to as.
sist In maintaining the Chinatown quaran.
tine. The officer also asked for permission
to conduct crenatory. This was granted
at once and work on the structure, begun
without an hours delay. Smallpox Is cpl
demic In Chinatown. &.'
Every store In Chinatown has been closed
and no Chinese are allowed to leave the
city. Transportation companies have
been requested to refuse to sell railroad or
steamship tickets to China men unless they
produce certificates showing that they
have been inoculated by the Board OF
Health in the City Hall.
While con ference was being held at the
Chinese Consulate between officers OF the
Six Companies and Health officers and DR..
Kinyoung, the Federal quarantine officer.
several hundred excited Chinese gathered
and began throwing bricks at the CONSUL
ate. Dr.. Klnyoung became alarmed at
their menacing attitude and telephoneo to
Police Headquarters. Twenty-Five police
men appeared In patrol wagon ana
Jumped Into the crowd with their clueS.

Though the Board OF Health has been en-.
gagged for two weeks Investigating suspi.
clous cases OF Cinnamon who were believed
to have been afflicted with the black plague,
no publicity was given to its work untila
Chlnaman was found suffering from dis.
ease that bore unmistakuble plague symp-
toms.
It was then deemed best to move openly
to stamp out the plague by the most rigid
measures that could be adopted. There
are no fears OF general epidemic even In
Chinatown, as the climate OF San Francisco
Is such that the disease will not spread.
The health authorities are being aided by
the Chinese Six Companies, which ordered
that all the Chinese in their employ be
lnoculated with anti-plague serum.

Everybody who loves to watch the
heavenly bodies has frequently noticed,
when the crescent OF the new moon
appears in the west, the phenomenon
sailed ''the old moon in the young
ones arms" Partly embraced by
BE horns of the crescent is seen the
Whole round orb OF the moon, glim-
'mering with pale, ashy light. The
,ause of the appearance is that the
earth light upon that part OF thsS
moon not reached by the sunshine Isl
sufficiently brilliant to render it
taintly visible to our eyes. Lately
successful attempts have been made,
particularly in France, to photo
graph this. phenomenon, and the
pictures thus produced are very in.

Young long-leaf pines, according to
Mr.. Pinchot, of the Department of
Agriculture, protect themselves against
forest fires in most interesting Rd
remarkable manner. For four or five
years the stems of the infant trees at
tain q height of only as many inches
above the soil. During this time
their bark is extraordinarily thick, and
shat alone gives some protection. But
In addition, the long needles spring
Up above the stem, and then bend
oYer on all sides Gin green cascade
which falls to the ground in circle
about the seedling." This green bar
rierss can with difficulty be made to
burn, while the shade that it casts
prevents inAammable grass from
growing near the protected stem.
Mr.. Pinchot thinks that it IS owing to
This peculiar system of self protection
which the pine seedlings have dev&
oped that the growth of evergreen
oaks in Florida has been restricted in
regions where fires have ragged while
pure pine forests have taken their
place.
