NO INSURANCE
TO BE PAID

"This company shall not be liable
through any volcano, earthquake, hur-
rieane or other CONFUSION or disturb
ance by nature.
This is the clause stamped on all fire
policies issued in those localities sub
ject to the commissions of nature set
forth, known among insurance men as
the ''volcano clause The orders for
adding it to the conditions of the poll
cies were issued by the different com
panies to their agents Immediately
after the Martinique tragedy, coming
into effect in San Francisco along with
practically all coast and southern cities.
The orders for applying it to Hawaiian
risks came from the San Francisco I'M
derwriters.
Thus the effect of the great disaster
by fire, added to the destruction from
earthquake and flood, will not be les
sened in any way through the collection
from the insurance men, who have
cleared themselves from all liability.
If the origin of any of the fires said
to be raging in the unhappy city can
be traced in any way to the earth
quake the policies are voided. In the
event of a fire from other causes the
company would be held liable, not
withstanding the fact that all fire pro-
lection might have been done away
with by the earthquake.
Marine insurance policies apply only
on the high seas, and whatever vessels
may have been lost in the Bay are be-
yond the protection of these. Special
fire policies issued on vessels in the
bay, many of which are in force, some
from Honolulu agencies, carry the vol
cano clause, the same as policies on
and cannot therefore be col |
lected on.
The volcano clause, as quoted above,

SEl5MlC ANNALS
OF CALIFORNIA

1t is not so very long ago that earth
quakes and volcanoes played havoc
with California. When Commodore
Stockton anchored in San Francisco
bay, in 1916, old Pablo, an Indian. told
him that in the days of his grandfath-
er, the Golden Gate was split open by
a great shock, letting the waters of the
sea flow into the valley of the Sacra-
mento. Before that time, said the IN
dian, the river entered the sea some
where beyond the San Jose mission.
There were scientists on board the flag
ship who wanted to know whether this
story could be confirmed by the testi-
n1ony of the rocks, and, on looking at
the mighty cleavage of the Gate, they
decided that the opening was of COM
paratively late origin. The fact re-
called to them that Sir Francis Drake
could not find any bay where is now
the port of San Francisco and was
forced to content himself with enter
ing Half Moon Bay, a little distance to
one side. At a later time scientific
men found the old bed of the Sacra-
mento near San Jose and also made up

Resolutions demanding that the
Chicago city council authorize the
mayor to issue special bar permits for
dancehalls and that the state legls-
lature grant complete relie4 and home
rule in regard to amusements were
passed by 1000 representatives of Ger
man and Bohemian societies gathered
in mass meeting in Chicago Sunday
afternoon Outside the First regiment
armory, where the meeting occurred,
was an overflow gathering estimated
at 10000. In marching order more than
300 societies of Germans, Swedes, Nor
wegians and Poles paraded in Michi-
gan avenue, with flags and numerous
uniformed bands.
The speakers who addressed the
meeting scored the reformers, the
mayor and the states attorney, whom
they held responsible for the revoca-
ton of their permILs. The uemonstra-
ton begun early in the day, each sec
ton of the city contributing it's quota
of men, women and children, forming
the various divisions, which poured
into the Central Loop district and pro-
ceeded in a struggling mass to the
rendezvous in Michigan avenue.
Streetcars were impeded in their
movement and traffic in Michigan
avenue was completely interrupted for
several hours. The drivers of auto
mobiles, who tried in several instances
to force their way through the crowd,
were roughly handled and compelled
to turn back.
Men prominent in affairs of the city,
including number of aldermen, occu-
pied seats on the platform.
Samuel Alschuler, former candidate
for governor of Illinois on the demo-
cratic ticket, was one of the speakers.
He declared that the societies stood
for the enforcement of the law which
does not destroy the liberty of those
not engaged in violating the law.
The meeting closed with the adop-
ton of resolutions protesting against
all attempts to deprive members of
the societies of the right to enjoy
themselves in their own way, and de-
handing that the city council amend
the dramshop license in such a man
ner as to authorize the mayor to issue
temporary permits for the sale Of
liquors to societies of a lawful char
acter, and calling upon the legislature
to amend the laws so that the cities
and towns of the state shall be self
governing in the matter Of amuse-
ments and recreations.

AS the result of extensive experiment
in the use of an automobile on the .des-
ert a novel car has just been. completed
for the use Of the Sirdar of Egypt, who
will use it on the vast sandy stretches
of the Sudan.
The wheels are entirely enclosed by
light metal. s%ideplates, leaving nothing
but the broad solid rubber tires ex-
posed, and it Is thought that the latter
will remove the difficulty of getting
over the surface of loose, shifting sand
without becoming imbedded SO deeply
as to impede progress. To prevent the
fine grit working into any part of the
mechanism the entire underbody is pro-
tected by an ingeniously devised apron.
Either kerosene or gasolene suits the
engine equally well, and owing to the
character of the country to be trav-
ersed provision has specially been made
for a three days. supply Of cooling and
drinking water, as well as fuel. The
change speed gear gives a range from
three to twenty miles an hour. The car
will in addition haul a two-wheel trailer
very similar to a gun carriage, upon
which will be mounted a dynamo and

PLANTATION given by the Literary Digest
for our dreadful record of accidents. In
reviewing an article by G. E. Walsh
upon accident-preventing devices in
America (Cassier's Magazine), 1t is
shown that. we stand first in the world
in the. accident record, and that the rule
seems to apply to all trades and pro-
fessions: The proportion of miners
killed, for instance, is nearly treble that
in France. and about double that in
other European countries. - For every
five men killed by accident in the
United States there are only three in all
Enations of Europe combined. Our rail
roads alone kill twenty-one people every
day. The remarkable fact is brought
out that we lead the world in the in
v~ention Of accident-preventing devices
and adopt fewer~of them than any other
country. Indeed, many OF the inven-
lions travel to Europe for recognition
and adoption: It is claimed that our
workmen will not use the safety de-
vices, as something childish, but prefer
| to run the risk like men. This is true,
but it is also true Of European work
