TN HE recent disastrous earthquake
extending over so large part
y of the Pacific coast region and
wrecking such an extensive
section of the city of San Francisco
was not the first of these catastrophes
known in the western metropolis,
though by all odds the most damaging.
For many years the municipal au-
thorities refused to permit tall build
ings in the city because of the fear Of
earthquakes, several of which had al
ready been experienced. Finally the
Introduction was removed, however,
and number of skyscrapers resulted.
Prior to 1890 there was hardly
building in excess of five stories and
only q few of that height. Today there
Is one eighteen stories high and quite
a number from twelve to fourteen
stories.
In the spring of 1898, about 10 o'clock
one night, the city had n seismic shock
that put to test its high structures. 1t
was the worst earthquake since 1868,
when for eight or nine blocks on the
main street (Market the ground was
cracked open several inches.
In the upheaval of 1898 the tall build
ings were given a fearful shaking, and
some of their occupants were made
dizzy and sick. The structures were
uninjured, and ever since that time
there has not been so much question
Of the safety of high buildings Of mod
ern construction-that is, buildings of
structural iron frame and facings OF
pressed brick, terra Gotta or stone.
1t was NJ II. De Young, the proprie-
tor and editor of the Chronicle, who
was the pioneer in this respect. He
met with opposition from the munich
pal authorities fourteen years ago when
he decided to erect n ten story house
for his newspaper. 1t was believed to
be q dangerous undertaking because of
the earthquake fear, but Mr.. De Young
won out and thereby set an example of
enterprise to other wealthy men who
have since built more tall buildings.
For instance, ID. o. Mills, the New
York banker who owns a great deal
of San Francisco property, has one of
the tallest and finest structures in the
city.

the country as the sugar king and the

Chicago, April 13.-Starrling even
to most sanguine believers in the arti-
fetal production of animal lite, it was
said before a class in the physiological
labratory of the University Of Chicago
that experiments had been made on q
human being which he had been de-
prived of life and then had it resored
A dog had been pat to dea.h and re-
vived thrice, but three successive ex-
periments Oh human being have not

One successful experiment. in resto-
ration was perform in the physiolog-
ical laboratory of the University of
Chicago. a dog was deprived of life
three times and by the aid OF massage.
stlmulant aud tonic was restored to
life. Later the dog was turned loose
on the street ana went his way appar-
emily none the worse for the expert
ence. The name Of the professor who
made tie experiment was withheld.
Prof. S. A. Matthews, of the physIo-
logical department, admitted the ex-
pertinent was not impossible hut de-
clined to discuss the subject in relat.
ion to human life. He also declined to
discuss experim ents he made on the
dog.
The expert iuent is considered of
great interest to the scientific wol Id

lieved it may be possible to restore life

Save His Life

Clarence Leach. a laveliug artist,
last night at $3.50 o CLOCK attempted
to commit suicide at his room in the
Cottage house by taking two ounces

ont a table IN the room. Carlstont lost
no time in summoning physicians,
Drs. Culp and Kaupp arriving a few
minutes before 6 O'Clock. They SIC
ceeded in removing most of the poison
from Leach's stomach with a stomach
pump after which they administered
stimu lants and medicine to connteract
the effect of the opium. They order
ed that the patient be vigorously exer-
cissd to keep him from sinh ing into a
comatose condition.. Several of the
men who board at the Cottage house
took turns walking Leach about for
about two hours and half when it
was declared that he was out dange..
DR.. Culp stated today that Leach is
well on the load to recovery and will
be all right again in few days.
Leach has been IN the city for about
two weeks, coming here from Snohom.
