 For this purpose tho subcommittee on relief of the general committee ap- pointed nine general food depots throughout the city. At each of these points dray loads of provisions were stored and distributed as fast as the lines of applicants could be served.
 The districting of the city in &C., cordance with the directions of the mayor was undertaken by tho relief committee early in the morning, and by noon was well under way. When this pie of San Francisco who from one mo- tive and another have refrained from making their wants known at the pub. lie headquarters. will be reached and succored.
 The lack of teams reported to the general committee Friday evening had been met by morning. In many cases individuals came forward and offered the services of their horses and wagons The work of tabulating the vacant houses throughout the unburnt dis tricts was undertaken by tne Assoeia- ted Charities Board, and 1t was hoped that by nightfall some fifteen hundred houses would he at the service of the relief committee.

 New York, April 21.-In spite of the staggering property losses involved In the destruction of San Francisco by earthquake. the New Workers who have large interests at stake in that city and Californians. residents here. said without hesitation yesterday that Sau Francisco would be rebuilt as soon as possible. that the city would rise from It's ashes on grander lines than those of It's past and that 1t would be a safer and healthier city.
 D. O. Mills said: Tn spite of tho un- certainty one thing Is sure. the city will be rebuiits
 we will 20 ahead and build the city and build 1t so that earthquakes will not shake 1t down and SO fire will not destroy It. and we will have a wa ter system which will enable us to get water from the sea for fire and other municipal purposes"

 San Francisco Is the logical metrop- oils west of the Rockies and all talk of abandoning the city in favor of any other place is foolishness. can say that the city will be rebuilt at once and that it will be an improved city"
 Isaac Guggenheim said: Of course San Francisco will rise again. We have every confidence in Its recuperative powers. Buildings will be put up that will not tumble down when there are earthquakes and neither will they burn so easily and 1t will be one of the most beautiful cities in the world"
 c. E. Laidlaw said that commercial necessities would take care of San Francisco's future
 There can be no possible doubt that rrttI Fiza nbnantw III "a 2 from the ashes of her ruins." declared Col. Dudley Evans. president of the Wells Fargo Express Company. Tt Is a question of only a few years. II will have the experience and the mis- takes of the past as e guide and even if there should be another earthquake there would be little to fear with the provisions that would be made to meet such danger.
 Some plans must be devised which will obviate the necessity of buildsGg on the made land of the wholesale dis

San Francisco. April 21.---A trip through the burned districts of san Francisco today revealed a scene of unspeakable dssoiation. From many eye could reach In any direction there was nothing but skeleton walls and smeuldering ruins.
 It should be borne in mind that San Francisco was not destroyed by the earthquake. While old buildings in that part of the city which stood on Made" ground east of Montgomery street and some of that district lying south of Market, 1t Is true, suffered from the shock, 1t was the fire that wrought the great devastation. and wiped out the entire business section and probably half of the residence sec
 The great modern steel structures were practically uninjured by the earthquake except for cracked walls and displaced plaster All these great structures. of course. subsequently were utterly ruined. by the flames. so far as the inner construction Is con cerned, but the walls are in most cas- es intact.
 The most notable cases of practical immunity from the shocks were the Saint Ignacio hotel. the Fairmount ho tel, the Mills building, the Spreckels building, the Chronicle building and scores of other modern steel struct- ures.
 The branch of the United States Mint on Fifth street and the new post office at Seventh and Mission streets are striking examples of tn superiority of the workmanship of the Federal buildings The old mint building, sur rounded by a wide space of pavement. was absolutely unharmed. Not even the few palm trees which stand on either side Of it's broad entrance were withered by the flames that devourcd everything around 1t. The new post office building was virtually undam- aged by fire.
 The earthquake shock did some dam age to the different entrances to the building, but the walls are uninjured. Every window pane, of course. is gone. as they are in almost every building in town, but the government will be able to resume postal business imme- diately.
 The Fairmount Hotel. while serious ly damaged in the interior, is' left in- tact as to the walls and the manage ment has offered space in the building in any of the various committees who desire to house the homeless or to store supplies in those parts of the building considered safe.

NEW CRIME DISCOVERED.
New York Magistrate Promptly Dis.

"Kligging."

''Kligging" is a new crime. Its dis.
coverer is Max Halpin, a special police:
man living at No. 1873 Essex street
who watches over a score of jewelry
shops in Ludlow, street at night, says
the New York Times. The other
morning Halpin saw Leo Giroki (such
was the name he gave), a musician,
''kligging' in front of the shop at No.
126 Ludlow street, arrested him and
later arraigned him before Magistrate
Moss. *.

kings who relgned at Paris and
brought glory upon France. The king
dom Of France srew from the dismem-
bered empire of Charlemagne.
The region called Lorraine has va
ried from time to time, but has always
been on the border between France
and Germany. For many centuries
French statesmen held to the idea that
the natural boundary of France on
the east was the Rhine; and in the
middle Of the sixteenth century, when
war broke out between Emperor
Charles V. and his Protestant subjects
of north Germany, the king of France.
Henry H., offered to defend the Ger
man Professionals against their own en-
peror, entered into an alliance with the
Protestant princes and offered to send
an army to their aid. The French were
to take temporary military occupation
of three bishoprics. each having some
portion of territory lying within the
.duchy Of Lorraine, and it was stipu-
lated. the French were not otherwise
to interfere with the German fefs. But
from their entrance into the land, the
French treated Lorraine as a con-
Quered country. The three bishoprics
of Toul, Verdun and Metz (Les Trois
Eveches) were annexed to France in
1862, Metz most important fortress
and not lightly surrendered to the
french.
Eventually the whole province of
Lorraine came into possession of
France, after series o. devastating
struggles. The peace u Westphalia.

The term metric system" is q fa-
3,llar one and is commonly ulde7-
stcod to designate the French standard
OF weights and measures, but it may
not be so generally known that in 1866
the United States took the first step
towards introducing the system into
this country by legalizing it's use and
since the acquisition of Porto Rico and
the Philippines has made its use in
those islands compulsory, and further,
1t may not be known that at the pres
ent time there is q movement on foot
to make its use compulsory in this
country.
Under present conditions there are
three legal systems of weight in COM
mon use in this country: Avoirdupois,
troy and apothecary. And as to meas
ures, they are of all kinds. There is
the gallon, the imperial gallon and the
wine gallon, all different. The states
have assorted gallons for various COM
modities. A milk gallon is the stan
dard size in New York, 231 cubic
inches, in Minnesota the farmer
has to sell 282 cubic inches to the mill
gallon or go to Jail. Barrels come in
Ill sizes. Some are 42-gallon barrels,

Of prevailing modes that tho princess

are very good also, the skirt and waist
joined in lines most becoming to the
individual wearer. Sometimes the
princess wrapper is cut in one piece,
but oftener in two. It Is fitted to the
figure by means of small tucks that
stop just above the hips, simulate a
girdle. Not infrequently an elaborate
bo1ero is added to the wrapper, which
thus becomes "house gown" and
quite dressy enough to wear at dinner.

Reports from Washington, where
the, Society for the Promotion OF
Metric Weights and Measures is hard
at work. and from Boston, where OFF,
Gals are earnest champions of the new
system, reveal the strength of the
movement
It is claimed that the principle on
which the metric system is based is SO
simple that anyone may learn Its es-
sential details In three-quarters Of an
hour. The exposition of it set forth
with such precision by Mr.. Forster
dwells upon it's uniformity and &C.
curacy, and simplicity in calculation.
The metre was supposed to be the
ten-millionth part of the distance from
the equator to the pole, and it's equiv
alent in English measure is 3937O79
inches, or, as it is commonly ex-
pressed, 1887 inches. Great care was
taken in deriving this standard, and,
although subsequent measurements
showed one two hundredth and eigh-
tieth of an inch variation, the calcula-
ton has remained unchanged. From
this absolute standard it is possible to
derive all the units which are required.
It's multiples, expressed by the Greek
