fruit for the almost unObtainable vege-

that the price of all fruit is based TO a

LIKE A SECOND HE'LL GATE.
San Francisco Sees Duplicate of New
York Explosion.


Thirty tons of nitrogeIatiue were ex-
ploded under Arch Rock. in San Francis
90 Bay. the other day, and thousands of
spectators on shore three miles away wit
Hessed the spectacle the greatest of it,
kind since the destruction of He'll Gate
in 1873. Two acres OF solid rock We're
lifted 800 feet into the air by the mighty
fo.ce of the explosion and when the
maelStrom of foam and swirling waters
had subsidized Arch Rock, always men-
ace to the lives 0f men and ships, had
disappeared from view forever
The thousands of persons who lined the
shore three miles away expected heavy
shock. sudden upheaval of rock and
sea, and Il tremendous conclusion which
might possibly throw them from their
feet. But it was not in this way that
the force of the explosion was to illus
trate its intensity. With no premonitory
signal or shock. the smooth green wa
ters OF the bay began to rise. There
were shouts of wonder. which increased
when an instant later Il great bulk of
milky white foam-surrounding the pyra-
midal base of Arch Rock for several
hundred feet in all directions-began TO
climb slowly into the air, completely hid
ing the rock.
There was no tossing of rons of water
high into the sunlight. Tha great bulk
of green water, capped with foam. rose
almost majestically into the air-10O, 700,
300 feet-and then still higher 1t was
like a great black and green storm cloud
crested with vapor. The cloud of water
seemed TO hover an instant when il had
reached its greatest elevation And it
was at this instant that the tremendous
force exerted by the thirty tons of nitro
gelatine was seen and appreciated. For,
as the mass hesitated before its fall,
great pieces of rocks could be seen tun-
bling about in the smothering volume of
water 300 feet and more above the sur
face of the bay. Then the huge bulk set
tied slowly back into the bay and the
spot occupied by Arch Rock ever since
the memory of the oldest inhabitant be-
gan was marked only by slowly revolv-
ing mass of white foam.
1t took many months of work. with
specially invented tools to drill and cross
drill the thousands of holes in the base
of Arch Rock. but the elimination lasted
only Il minute, perhaps two. The explo-
sion is said TO be the greatest blast ever
set off i'll this country. The blowing up
of Hell Gate. in the harbor of New York,
in 1878. consumed greater quantity OF
powder. hut was block powder. which
did not have the destructive effect of the
modern explosives.

larger pocketbooks they can purchase
only limited quantities of vegetables and

unprecedented way. Young housekeep-

older ones have not seen such times for
many years. While wholesale prices

street prices have taken their jumps by

Some High Prices.
The combined influences of the back

Chicago the point to which cities that
before were independent are looking for
their supply. This has had the effect of
adding still more to the prices at which
produce is quoted. Merchants in South

daily TO supply orders from Kansas City
and Nashville Other cities also are
drawing upon Chicago. There has been
complete reversal of conditions. The
