Secretary Metcalf was proceeded

the shock Mr.. Kahn had received a
telegram from San Francisco saying

nothing of either of them, He has

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 81, 1906.
Not since the reorganization of the
army in I902 has it been called on to
face an emergency of any sort. The
disaster at San Francisco, however,
has proved an emergency of the first
magnitude and it is a satisfaction to
be able to report that the army has
met it without apparent effort The
immensely of the loss at San Francis
co from fire and earthquake has
dwarfted everything else in the news
line and the whole attention Of most
of the Departments has been given
to sending and receiving news. hurry
ing forward relief and authorizing
the officers on the spot to make all
sorts of provisions TO meet the neces-
stiles of the case.
Secretary Taft said privately that
he was glad they had an officer on the
ground who came to the front like
General Funston and did things first
and asked authority afterward. Con-
gress sunk all differences of party in
passing the emergency appropriation
bill, giving 500, 900 to be Immediate
ly available for the relief work. This
bill was passed in record time and
sent TO the president. receiving his
signature all within the space of six
hours. The only amendment made
in it was the next day when Senator
Morgan introduced another resolu--
tion making it clear that the money
was available for the purchase Of
medical supplies as well as food.
Telegraphers have been on duty
constantly at the war and navy de-
partments as in the days of the Span
ish war, and the secretaries Of war
and navy and of commerce and labor
have been in touch with the depart
ments over the phones at all hours.
The government for once las heen eff
fectively busy aud harmonious. Or
ders have been flashed from Washing
ton calling on the quartermasters and
commissaries of the various army and
naval posts most closely in touch
with San Francisco to forward sup
plies as fast as they could be collected.
1t has been realized that the prompt
est relief was the most effectiye and
the first train of government supplies
was expected to reach San Francisco
on Thursday night.
The cost of the disaster to the gov
eminent will be enormous The des-
truction in military and naval stores
in and around San Francisco alone
will be s., 100000. In addition to that
the damage to buildings and equip
ment must be counted, and there are
81 200. 900 worth OF government build
ings within the area of the disturb
ance. The relief work including the
appropriation from congress viii also
mount into the millions
The government has decided that
there should be a representative of
the administration on the spot, and
Secretary Metcalf has accordingly
been selected, and he started for Cal
iforuia on Friday night His selec-
tion was the natural one~as the de-
partment of Commerce and Labor is
already closely in touch with the sit

Trade at Home.

Last week there WAS young lady
in town making house to house can
vass, leaving il Sears Roebuck cata-
logua wherever she called. Why do
these eastern firms take so much
trouble and spend so much money in
telling what they have to sell and how
they will sell it? Because they find
that people are anxious to know what
they have to sell and what they will
take for it. Don't be deceived by
these price lists. If YOU are in need
of a horse and one main tells you he
has a horse he viii sell you for $40,
while another man asks you $50 for
the one he owns, you are not apt to
buy either without having looked the
horse over Buy where you can see
the goods You want and do not buy
pig IN poke. Trade with the man
who accommodates you when YOU
have no money. Trade with the man
who gives you work, elects you to Of
flee and accommodates your friends,
even though it costs you a few more
cents Just now. Remember the mer-
chant has to live just the same as
other human beings We can count

The value of the wireless telegraph
service in the navy has also been dem
onstrated as it was in this way that a
part of the Pacific squadron was
caught at sea off San Diego and rush
ed north to take part in the work of
rescue.
The great calamity On the Pacific
all other subjects, and the reading
public of the country has almost for
gotten that congress and the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution are
in session in Washington. We can
safely leave the Daughters with their
Observation-Disclosures scrappings to
themselves. Congress is still active
with the many railroad rate bills and
amendments. Senator LaFolette is
in the midst of nine hours discus
sion which will be completed next
week. There was disposition on
the part of senators to treat him with
studied eonte pit. Many of them
left the senate chamber when he be-
gan to speak. He is not as popula :.
in this chamber as he is in his state
and in the country. Old senators look
upon him as an upstart and parveDu,
but he knows how to paddle his own
canoe, and no one has given the rail
road question longer or closer study
than has he.
The era of the pure food and de-
naturized light and fuel appears to be
upon us. The agricultural depart
ment says that the average amount
of sugar and starch which goes to
waste in stalks of Indian corn an
nualiy would make one hundred gal
Ions of commercial alcohol per acre
The number of acres in corn is about
one hundred millions. hence the alco-
hol that goes to waste in stalks of
corn alone is almost beyond the grasp
of our conception, but potatoes, beets
and various other vegetables can also
be turned into this new and exhaust
less source of light, heat and motor
power.

THE USELESS BANTAM.
Breed Of Chicken for Which There
Is But Little Demand
Nowadays.

While the majority OF poultry lovers
appreciate the scientific breeding Of
the large utility fowls, they have very
little sympathy for the fancier who
calculates the weight Of his favorite
breed in ounces, instead Of pounds,
says Country Life in America.
The question that is always put to
the bantam fancier Is: ''Of what use
are these pigmies of the poultry
yards?" The answer is: "None what
ever" So far as utility goes they are
valueless, and, commercially speaking.
they do not amount to much.
On the other hand, the pleasure Of
being able to produce even one little
specimen that matches the require
ments of the STANDARD of Perfection"
more than makes up for their def
cheney in other respects. SO far as a
genuine fancier is concerned. Bantam
raising is purely fancy, and nothing
more. The old-time fancier did not
choose as his ideal a variety that would
on the face of things, pc an easy one
to produce. It is the fight against
nature, as it were. that offers the great
charm to the fancier.

MEDICAL MELANGE.

An acting model of the human heart
with every detail has been made by
French physician The blood can be
seen coursing to and from it through
artificial arteries.
Investigation of the properties of
mineral springs by DR.. H. Mache, of
Vienna, seems to establish the fact
that many of them have radio-activity,
which certainly points toward radium
as one of their curative properties.
Graphology, the science of estimating
personality from the handwriting, is
proving an aid to the physician. French
medical men have found that epilepsy,
hysteria and other nervous disorders
have characteristic effects on the writ
Ing, which in certain cases may even
be the only means of detecting the dis
ease.
Overcrowding of the medical profess
sion in Germany is q matter of grave
concern. There are now in the empire
$4,000 physicians, which doubles the
number found in 1876. In other words,
there is one physician in Germany for
every 100 inhabitants. In the city of
Berlin As per cent. Of all the physicians
have an income of less than $500, and
five per cent. of the whole number do
not have sufficient income to return
It for taxation.
DR.. Schafer, the German army sur
geon who was sent by the authorities
to study the late war in the far east
from surgical viewpoint, says that
the Russian wounds were to q very
great extent light in character. The
most astonishing feature was the
slight effect produced by bullets which
traversed the bodies of the soldiers in
all directions. In very large numbers
of cases bullets which from the ana
/, tomical position of the canals they had
produced must have touched the vital
organs not only were not fatal, but
seemed to have caused no more dis
turbance than if the tissues had been
pierced by needle.
Distinction of our homes through
the paints employed is a new field
of investigation that promises useful
results. A number Of experimenters
have shown that paints have distinct
germ-killing effect, and that this
varies greatly with the color and char
acter of the materials used. In some
cases powerful disease microbes laid
upon the paint were destroyed within
"a hours. Discussing the causes of
the action, DR.. A. Cartez, a French
Psychologist, finds that the materials
ara more or less poisonous, but that
much depends upon the degree of dry
ness of the layer, color, illumination,
ventilation and porosity of the coat.
