LETTER received today from

LETTER received today from a
q former resident of Winnemucca,
who holds a responsible position In
San Francisco. discoses startling con-
dition of affairs in the stricken city
The writer says that the true situa-
tien has been greatly understated He
warns workingmen against coming to
the city. saying that rents and prices OF
living have been advanced enormously.
rents being three times higher than for
in the wages paid for labor.
However, the most startling informa-
tion conveyed in the letter is to the ef-
feet that scientists who have been in
vestigating conditions state that there
lis every indication that the worst is by
far not over. so far as earthquake shocks
are concerned.
Temblors are matters of daily occur
renee m the stricken city. and the sci
entists have agreed that these shocks
presage a heavier one. which. they as
sert. will probably equal if not exceed
lin violence the memorable shock Of the
morning of April is.
One prominent scientist. the writer as
serts. has gone so far as to state that
the disturbances that are ~s.--y taking
place in the earth's crust indicate that
a violent shock is pending, and one
which may go so far as to cause a por-
tion of San Francisco to sink.
The writer of the letter is responsi-
BILE man and one not disposed to accept
! any wild rumors that might cnance to

Dried and sprinkled with sugar, a

the banana chiefly appeals to us.
Its creamy succulence and deli

good digestion. Dependent as
that sapOr is in ethereal body,

is that the banana is an eminently

SOME OF NATURES FREAKS
Stone That Tells Coming Weather
Conditions Was Found in Fin
land Many Years Ago.

There are weather prophets
and weather prophets, but there
is a stone which it is asserted IN
failingly foreteIls changes in the
weather. This stone was found
in Finland many years ago by an
explorer and has been watched
by scientists with great interest.
1t is known as the samakuir~and
presents a white notified appear
ance in sunshine, gradually turn
ing from gray to black as a rain
storm approaches. The samakuir
is made up of clay, inter and rock
salt. In dry weather the salt in
the stone is prominent, but when
the air is filled with moisture the
salt abSOrbs the moisture and
turns black, thus acting as a ba-
rOmeter.
The natives in Java have a natur.
al poison to aid them in ayenging
themselves against their enemies.
1t is strong fluid found in the
bark of the upas tree. The bark is
over an inch thick ard is very
Spongy. A drop Of the fluid on the
skin causes an intense irritation.
A private revenge is satisfied BY
hiding a cup of this fluid in the
room of the enemy and then the
avenger fees, for well he knows
that by morning his victim will
have crossed the high divide. The
fluid produces stupor which final
" ends in death.
Two contrasting freaks of ma
ture are the Island of Fire and the
Lake of Snow. The Island of Fire
is called the Home of Hot Devils.
1t is situated in the midst of a lake
Of boiling mud in the Island of

arise from the sticky mud form
themselves into bubbles attaining
the diameter of five or six feet
and sailing high up in the air like
balloons, carried hither and thith-

The biggest snow lake is seen
