Many Blocks Destroyed.

The whole east side of Van Ness avenue,
from Golden Gate to Greenwich. was dy-
namited block deep. though most of the
structures stood untouched by spark or
cinder. Not one charge failed. No one

1t was but feebly. From Golden Gate ave-
nue. north the fire crossed the wide street
In but one place. That was the Claus
Spreckles' place on the corner of Califol mia
street. There the flames were writing up
the walls before the dynamiters could reach
1t. Yet they made their way to the founda-
tions carrying their explosives despite the
furnace-like heat. The charge had to be
placed SO swiftly and the fuse lit In such
a hurry that the explosion was not quite
successful from the trained viewpoint of the
gunners. But though the walls still stood,
1t was only an empty victory for the fire,
as bare brick and smoking ruins are poor
food for flames

THE DYNAMITE HEROES

Three heroes saved San Francisco-what
is left of 1t. They were the dynamite squad.
When the burning city seemed doomed and
the flames lit the sky farther and farther
to the west. Admiral McCalla sent a trio
of his most trusted men from Mare Island
with orders to check the confederation at
any cost of life or property. With them
they brought ton and half of gun cot
ton. The terrific power OF the explosive
was equal to the maniacal determination
of the fire.
Capt. MacBride was in charge of the
squad. Chief Gunner Adamson placed the
charges, and the third gunner set them Off

Bin Measurements

To measure corn first find number of
cubic feet in crib, then multiply by o
and divide by 20, which gives the amount
in bushels. TO determine amount of

vide by >. and the product will be the
two cubic feet of corn if sound and dry
will produce one bushcl of shelled corn.
To find the number of bushels of ap-

the length breadth and thickness to-
gctner and this product by S and point
off one figure in the product for decimals.

Water In The Atmosphere

In speaking of the constituents Of the
atmosphere at tn" LGaGon Institute re-
Gently, Vivian Lewis asserted That there
were some people who imagined that
such substances rs carbon di.oXide and
water vaPor were impurities. IN their
proper proportion. however. they were
Il necessary part of the atmosphere.
Without water Napor neither vegetables
LOr men could live. In the human body
there was considerable over 50 per cent.
Of water. indeed, one ardent physiolo-
@>t had described IL man H. being made
of Il few nandfulS of dust and six buck
cts of water. Without water vHpor in
the atmosphere the water in the human
Lody would be gradually distracted.
Men would lose weight and be rapidly
converted into jcrkcd meat or EGYPTIAN
mhmmes-very valuable for keeping,
hut not much good for anything else.

1.-THE Richmond. Va Reformer.l
The Richmond PLANET hit the
bulls eve in its issue of last week
in discussing Mayor McCarthy's
speech before the b. NJ. c.. OF the
Grand United Order Of odd Fellows.
IL said, From the utterances OF
some Of these Republican politicians
around here on the race question
we would sooner cast a vote for the
present Mayor or Senator John w.
Daniel, Senator Thomas S. Martin
or Honorable John Lamb" and The
PLANET was right
Why, let one compare the speech
es made by Senator Daniel and Con-
gresham Lamb a few weeks ago at
the True RefOrmers' Hall before the
jamestown Negro and Development
Company, with that of candidate
Hanson before the sO-callei Repub-
lican Congressional Convention in
Manchester a few days previous and
he can easily see who is the best
friend 10 the race. Truth is, we
have never yet seen a northern
white man who was seeking popu-
larity from his own home, and who
had migrated South to seek an ex-
istence, but what he would have
tried 10 ride into political influence
and power on the Negroes back by
| talking about his being an ex-union
soldier, or the son of an ex-union
and then. as soon as he is In
political favor and had gotten in.
TO Office he was ready 10 dump the
/ Negro.
To our minds, with a few excep.
| lions, these men are the most un.
grateful that ever allied themselves
with any political party. Such pei
/ frdy and ingratitude have been the
characteristic OF traitors from the
