THE RICH AID THE POOR
all Fared Alike In the Great San
Francisco Earthquake.

cT&uCI5CO Ca@thSo@Oos
A dispatch from San Francisco
says the distress OF the rtch eQualeo
that OF the poor. Not building In
the business district eseea csca!. Not a
residence in fully three-fourths CT the
city but what was burned or shatter-
ed. The artillery and dynamite used
to blow dosn buildings broke win
dows and shattered chimneys which
the flames did not reach.
The people fed to the fcrts and
parks and hills. R Iugnly speaking,
che burned district Is five miles
square. A smart breeZe was blowing
the smoke and ashes away
and for the first time the dimensions
of the damage became apparent. In.
surarce adjusters now on the ground
estimated that the property loss will
not fall short OF $3.50 900 600.
The insurance loss will aggregate
800, 900, 900 less. Whether or not
sll the companies will be able to pay
Is a question upon which depends in
large measure uh future Of San Fran
cisco. The prediction has been made
that not more than so per cent. in
surance will BE- paid. No adjuster
places the total to be paid at more
than IS per cent. Of the entire 1nsur-
ance loss.
The destruction Of life was not as
great as the reports indicated. The
exact number OF those that perished
will never in all human probability be
known, for many bodies 1ere entirely
destroyed. Mechanics pavilion was
used for a time as morgue and as q
place Tor the Injured. After 200 dead
had been taken there and several
hundred irjared the fire reached the
building. No attempt was Gade to
remove the bodies, all attention be-
Ing paid to the injured. The result
vas that not less than 200 bodies,
te1 OF which had been identified,
were cremated.
Many more deaths will not be IN
directly attributable to the fire.
These will be caused by explosure and
by fright. Thirty.six babies were

as long ago as the sixth century. Hum

occurred in Palermo in which every

The stone Forests OF Ariunna

The regions of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifactiOns, whole forests
being found in some places which are
hard as flint, but which look as if but
recently stripped of their foliage. Some
of these stone trees are standing just
as natural as lite, while others are
piled across each other just like the
fallen monarch of a real wood forest.
Biologists say that these stone trees
were once covered to the depth of a
thousand feet with mari, which trans
formed them from wood to solid rock.
This mari after the lapse of ages wash
ed out, leaving some of the trees stand
ing in an upright position. The major
ity of them, however. are piled heller

ANTIQUITY OF BEER
This Beverage Was First Brexvaa
the Egyptians

Beer is of great antiquity. II vos
manufactured first by the Epvntiops
and atterward by the Greeks. Romans
and ancient Gauls. Beer was mention
ed by the following ancient writers.
TacituS. Pliny, Xenophon and others
The Romans are supposed to have in
troduced the brewing of beer or ale nc
It was then called, to the Rritons o+
the time of the latters conquest INV +ho
former The BritOns continued the
brewing of barley malt, calling if ale
until about 1924, when the Germans
introduced the brewing of hops with
the barley malt, calling il bier or in
English, beer.
The history of the New England colo
MES shows that the Puritons woro
great beer drinkers and that for long
time every innkeeper made his own
beer. In those years beeS was the gen
eral and popular drink. In the colony
OF Massachusetts its retail price was
fixed by law at a penny a quart IFS
sale to Indians was not forbidden A
law or 1919 ordered that every vict-
ualer or ordinary innkeeper should al
lays be provided with good whole
some beer for the entertainment of
strangers.
The laws of the colony always favor
ed the manufacture of beer, and even
as late as ten years after Massachu-
setts had become a state a law was
passed entitled, IAN act to encourage
the manufacture and consumption of
beer. ale and other malt liquors."
The act freed beer from all taxation.
but it came too late after a series of
fiscal laws which for revenue purposes
had made beer dear and led to the i'm
portation of cheap rum from Jamaica.
