1t is one of the advantages of the present
change in speculative methods over the old
one that gentlemen can now place their own

MISS ME1as' EXPERIENCES.
Escape From Death in San Francisco
Was Miraculous.

In her letter received by her near rela-
tives here Miss Jane B. Meigs, formerly
of this city, but now of San Francisco,
describes her experiences in the recent
California disaster. The escape Of Miss
Meigs from death was almost miraculous
At the time of the earthquake she was
asleep in her apartment in the Alexandra
fats. The building. she says, swayed back
ward and forward like the rocking of a
cradle for several minutes. Later 1t was
found that the structure had been turned
partially around on its foundation. Its es-
cape from instant demolition was most
surprising.
After getting out of the building as rapid
ly as possible Miss Meigs, who is a trained
nurse, walked two miles through partly
dvasted portion of the city to the house
of an old lady whom she had been nursing.
Finding the patient uninjured. Miss Meigs
returned to the Alexandra fats, and sue
ceeded in saving only such of her belong
ings as she could place in small grip
sack. Miss Meigs believes that the terrors
of the disaster can never be fully portray
ed, even by the most vivid description.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Campbell Alive
and Unhurt

Mrs. Garter of Mount Pleasant has re-
ceived from her daughter, wife OF E. c.
Campbell who is the son of F. L. Camp
BELL assistant attorney general for the In
terror Department, q letter dated San
Francisco, April %. in which she graph
ically describes their experience during the
earthquake. They escaped from their hotel,
the Princeton, which was first wrecked by
the earthquake and later burned. Before
receipt of this letter Mr.. Campbell's father
had a wire announcing that his son and
wife were safe and we'll
Mr.. E. c. Campbell is connected with the
pay department of the army and he and
his wife had only recently returned from
the Philippines, where he had served for
stationed In San Francisco. portion of
his wifes letter to her mother is given.
She says:
II had written letter to you just the
day before this terrible thing happened and
Edgar put it, unsealed, in his pocket when
we left the Princeton. He has just told
me that It might be possible to send letters
from Oakland, and as we cannot get wire
to you, will write, hoping you will get 1t to
relieve the anxiety ! know you must feel.
1--WE are WELL alive and unhurt, for
which we can only thank God, for it was
the most terrible experience we have ever
faced We were awakened at quarter-past
5 Wednesday morning by the most horri-
BILE noise-roaring, crashing of glass, wood
and falling of plaster. and the place rock
ing like g. ship at sea. Edgar grabbed
my hand and we made for the door. We
could hardly open 1t, as everything was
warped, but when we did we ran down
three flights before the rocking ceased.
Then we decided to go back and get what
money we had and dress ourselves.
Luckily. we dressed completely and were
fortunate enough to have $35. When
we got down onto the first floor we found
people in any kind Of apparel they could
grab-some were hysterical and fainting
I'VE went right out on the street to find
out the condition OF things. The fronts
and backs had fallen of Of houses all
around us. The room right next to ours
in the hotel was a complete wreck-the
back wall had fallen in. but. luckily. 1t was
unoccupied. Then the fires started south
of Market street. but 1t was hoped all day
that they would be kept from crossing the
street, as 1t is wide, like Pennsylvania
avenue in Washington. But we went back
and UP onto the sixth floor OF the Prince
ton and packed up all our things, and as
we were going out the door the second
shock came. It wasn't so severe, but we
dashed down the steps Hike mad people.
THE people were very. plucky. They
saw their places OF business or homes
wiped out without murmur We went up
on the hill above the Princeton and stayed
until we were sure everything In that sec
tSon was going, and then went up to our
rooms again at 2 o'clock pm. got few

AN ENDURANCE TEST.
Geological Surveys Gas Producer
Plant at st. Louis.

Some skepticism having been expressed
as to the claims made by the fuel-testing
committee of the United States Geological
Survey regarding the power producing eff
ficiency of Goals used IN the gas producer
and gas engine, a so-called endurance test
was recently undertaken by Prof r. II.
Fernald, who has charge of the surveys
gas-producer plant at st. Louis. The re-
suits of this run. which began March %
and continued until April 1, a period of
twenty-four consecutive days, are particu-
larly valuable and suggestive. They afford
indisputable proof of the possibility of OPP
Grating producer plants continuously for
power purposes with the use of bituminous
Goals.
AS the plant was designed for general
test purposes, the passages through which
the gas was obliged TO pass were far more
tortuous than would have been the case
In a plant installed merely for the produce
tior of power. In passing from the dust
to make three right-aneie turns and pass
through a water seal valve. travelling a
distance OF about twenty feet instead OF
three feet. as would have been the case
In an ideal arrangement. Owing to the
deposit of tar In the water seal valve the
test was brought to close after twenty
four days. Without this unfortunate COM
br alton of piping more notable endurance
records should be made than the surpris-
Ing twenty-four-day test here recorded.
The engine ran in perfect order at all
times during the period of twenty-four days,
and at the end of the test was found In
condition. Even cleaning
was not necessary. 1t is still operating
iii effects from the strain to which it was
subjected. The producer plant was also
found in excellent condition. and the regu-
lar tests are now going on as usual
