GOODS PILED
At THE DEPOT

San Francisco, April 21.-There is no
fire within three blocks of the Ferry
landing.
Later-Ferry boats are now running
on schedule time.
An immense crowd Is gathered
around the depot. Committees across
the bay are urging the people to go
back to Frisco and will 60 with them
to their homes, but the authorities will
not allow them to take their baggage
with them.
1t looks like an immense second hand
store here. The people have dragged
everything down here from pianos to
birdcages and the goods are piled
around the depot for a long distance.
The fire is still burning fiercely up
north, but the wind Is dying down,
making It less dangerous.

FIRE LOSSES

Oakland, April 21.-At q meeting Of
the board Of fire underwriters here to-
day 1t seemed to be the sense OF the
meeting that when the proofs Of iOsses
had been properly made the insurance
companies would pay the losses which
they are actually responsible for.
The question OF losses in the dvna-
mited property were not touched on.
and probably will be the cause Of end

OF THE EARTH METAL
Great Density of Formation Suggests
the Probability of Such
Condition.

Is the middle of the earth made of
metal? Experiments on the grayita-
tional attraction between small masses
give us the means of determining the
average density of the earth, and it
has always been considered remark
able that the density thus found, five
and a half times that of water, is far
higher than the mean density of the
rocks which constitute those parts of
the earth accessible to us. These lat
ter have not more than two and a half
or three times the density of water.
1t does not seem probable that any
pressure in the interior, however
great, could explain so great a differ
ence 1t must be assumed that the in
terror is made of a totally different
material from the outside. The great
density of the earth suggests that in
all probability its core is of a metallic
nature. 1t is significant that the me-
t~eorite, the only ~planatry bodies of
which we can examine the interior,
are composed for the most part OF
nickel iron. The inference becomes al
most irresistible that the iron bearing
rocks are samples of the deep interior
which by a rare and exceptional chance
have been extruded to the surface by
volcanic agency.

THE PLOT THAT FAILED.
Governor Found Himself in a Pre-
dicament and Schemed to
Souirm Out of It.

A couple of years ago a governor OF
one of the southern states went to
Palm Beach, Florida, for a short holt
day. He registered at one of the mag
nificent hotels and vas assigned to a
luylrious suite of rooms He was COM
fortably installed, relates ~Lippincott's,
when a friend came in to call on him.
This is a wonderful apartment they
have given you" said the visitor.

"Ive never enjoyed such luxury in my

WiND-MADE ELECTRICITY.
Indiana Man Works Out Practical
Method of Accomplish
ing It.

Wind-made electricity holds out the
promise of becoming a great boon to
rural districts; and the day is near at
hand when every farmer who has a
windmill on his grounds can enjoy
electric lights and the many other
services which electric power IS
capable of yielding. For many years,
men have been trying to convert wind
power into electricity. r. w. Wilson,
Of Westfield, Ind, has worked out a
practicable method of accomplishing
it, states the Technical World Maya
zine. F@ stt
In producing wind-made electricity,
Wilson calls upon the windmill to per-
form its customary function OF pump
ing water. He leads the water into a
hydraulic regulator built on the prin-
ciple of a water-lift, in which the pres
sure is controlled by weights. and
from which it is released by means OF
automatic valves.
This regulator is the means OF main
tanning an even pressure under all
conditions. whether the windmill is
revolving fast or slow.
Mr.. Wilson demonstrates the sue
cess of the invention at his W shop
in Westfield, which is brightly lighted
with wind-made electricity, and to all
appearances it equals the steam-made
product that city folk enjoy.

Vaudeville at the Phillips.

News of the pleasing quality of the
vaudeville bill at the New Phillips has
spread over the entire city by this
time and it is noticed that many in
addition to the regular patrons of the
house have been in attendance this
week, attracted by the high quality
and the diversity of program. 1t Is
conceded that those who are in search
of amusement, cannot invest dime TO
better advantage than at a vaudeville
entertainment, for if they do not care
for all the numbers. they are certain
to find something that will please
them, and hence will be Well repaid
for the small outlay. A special mat
inee for children will be given on
Saturday. and on Saturday evening
there will be the usual double per-
Torrance. Manager Murray is lining
I'D a good bill for next week.
