Fire Insurance Problem.

The question of how far fire companies
can evade their losses In San Francisco
has not yet been settled. 1t Is known that
II the losses are met the reserves Of a
good many European companies will be
wiped out entirely. AS many of the same
companies are heavily interested in VAL
pariaso, II looks like a serious proposition
for the policy holders. There Is good
deal more fire insurance written by the
English and European companies In Amer
lea than is written by American companies
in Europe, though In life insurance the OPP
posite has been the case.
It Of course will have to be left to the
courts to determine whether the companies
can evade the payment Of losses by fire
following an earthquake. But the San
Francisco and Valparaiso disasters make IL
a very serious question for the policy hold
ers as well as for the companies One
thing is certain, and that is that the two
disasters will have the effect of raising In
surance rates and probably will force the
insertion of specific earthquake clauses In
all future policies.
The question Of building construction for
earthquake countries will also be very nice
ly contrasted in the San Francisco and
Valparaiso horrors. The steel skyscraper
construction which was a feature of San
Francisco stood the shock very well, while
VALPARAISO was a Enthusiastically low
mission style of architecture, with thick
brick walls and no steel frames. Suisse
ouent investigation will show which stood
the shock the better.

VALPARAISO SHAKEN
MANY TIMES BEFORE.
And Once, Long Ago, Was
Wiped Out.
OTHER QUAKE DISASTERS
South America Worst Continent for
Shocks on Earth.
FIRE INSURANCE PROBLEMS
Companies Have Been Hard Hit by
Baltimore, San Francisco and
Chile Disasters.

As terrible as Ia the news coming from
Valparaiso. It is not as though that were q
community not used to earthquakes. South
America Is the worst continent for them
In the whole world, and of all the South
American countries Chile is about the most
earthQuake-afflicted Of the lot.
This is the second time that Valparaiso
has been wiped out, and there have been
enough minor shocks there to fill a VOL
ume merely with a record OF them. In the
course OF Chilean history there have been
twenty terrific earthquakes recorded. and
the minor trembles have been past count
ing. For instance, Santiago has a record
Of 100 shocks in thirty months. four of them
severe. and La Serene. CoQuimbo. which
has been twice entirely destroyed, goes
Santiago a good deal better. with a record
Of 156 shocks in twenty-five months.
One Of the big shocks recorded in Chilean
history was that In 1870, which entirely
destroyed La Conception. There were 1900
lives lost in that disaster, and a loss OF
1900 lives recorded in history would have
probably meant 1900 in newspaper &C
counts II the newspaper and telegraph had
been doing bushes at that time. Santiago
de Chile was destroyed in 1647, with a loss
of 1000 lives. and in 1730 a terrific and
widespread earthquake wiped out VAL
paraiso, Conception and Serena, with all
the coast towns between those places. VAL
paraiso was visited again in 1887, 1856, 1861
and 1850. All of these disasters were i'm
portant enough to have demanded a front
mage scare head in these times

Some Big Shakes

some Big SudkeS-
Another Of the big shakes that stands for
something. even in South American his
tory. was that of Caracas in 1912. The
town was completely destroyed. Mendoza
in Argentina was almost destroyed In
1861 and Guatemala. as most people VIII
remember. was almost shaken of the map
In 1902.
Valparaiso Is about as far south of the
equator as New Orleans is north of II and
Is considerably farther east than Wash
ington. 1t is about 5000 miles air line
from the national capital The shock was
felt here on the 18th, being recorded on
the coast surveys seismograph at Chelten-
ham, Md. The east and west movement
lasted a little less than three hours and
the north and south movement almost four.
The indications. as Judged at the time by
the tremors and heavy shocks. indicated a
disturbance about 5000 miles from WASH
ington. The disturbance affected the mag
netic instruments at the observatory, too,
but II is thought that the earthquake effect
on this record is more from mechanical
than from q magnetic disturbance. How
ever that Ia one of the points on which
scientists are not yet entirely agreed The
disturbance OF the seismo&raph was al
most but not quite so pronounced as that
of the San Francisco shock, but that prob
ably was accounted for by the fact that
the area of disturbance was not so close.
Considerable interest has attached to the
question of whether or not the earthquake
and volcanic disturbances the earth has
suffered recently have had anything to do
with the variation of the sun spots. One or
the government scientists who was willing
to discuss this phase with the assurance OF
not having his name made public. said:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-08-21
Views of q Scientist.

I'VE will have to know more about both
earthquakes and sun spots before We can
saw definitely. But should say there was
room for interesting speculation on the sub
feet. There IL unquestionably an immense
amount OF electric and magnetic tension In
the earth and there also is unouestionably
a very close relation between electric con-
ditions in the sun and on the earth. When
the conditions In the sun change II cannot
help but affect the earth, and a hole In the
face of the sun that you could drop the
earth into certainly would be likely to have
considerable effect on terrestrial electric
currents. When the nicely adjusted tension
here Is disturbed the crust would be very
apt to SILVER and In the neighborhood OF the
vent holes that are found in volcanic coun-
tries something probably would happen.
South America Is about the worst volcanic
country in the world. There are forty-six
well-known active craters on the continent
and almost countless extinct and partially
extinct ones. Mt. Aconcagua, down In
Chile is an extinct volcano, and next to
the highest mountain in the world. II il q
little over 1900 feet. while Mt. Everest is
only $1,000 There are thirty extinct and
ouiescent volcanoes in the borderland be-
tween Chile and Bolivia, SO Chile Is pref
ty good location for seismic trouble"
There Is another question that VIII De
raised by the Valparaiso disaster that In
even closer to the people Of the world than
the relation between volcanoes. earth
quakes and sun spots. 1t concerns what
effect the shake is going to have on hre
Europe and Great Britain. The recent list
Of fire disasters has been very heavy. With
$40, COX, 900 wiped out In Baltimore that the
companies could not possibly evade pay
ing. possibly os much as sSoo'ooo9oo TO
500. Co., o0 at a low estimate. In VAL
paradise the fire insurance companies prob
ably will not pay dividends for long

Deep Water Is Here Now

sufficient water at the docks and for lifting anchor
age.
Through the enjoyment of this maritime advan-
tage Jacksonville WILL in every sense, be the gateway
ol the larger portion of Florida But as this city is
benefited, so will other towns of the State share IN
inst proportion. Increase the commerce OF jack
sonve means corresponding increase for the places
of which it is the distributing point for merchandise
Moreover it affords an outlet for many OF the prod
ucts of the State.
A drawback to the development OF Florida has
been the lack of deep water port on the Atiantlc
side; one that was possessed OF adequate railway
connections to the vast territory of export products
Jacksonville had the railway facilities, but the
port advantages were deficient, and although her
commercial growth has been remarkable yet the han
dicap of insufficient water to permit large vessels
to enter has been retarding and preventing
the FULL vigorous industrial life that is the right OF
this city by virtue of its location.
The obstacles hindering its development as deep
water port have been nearly removed. Now, with
twenty feet of water and next year twenty feet
to offer big carriers the time has arrived when
vessels of large capacity will come here for cargo
and the products of the State will be shipped here
for transport.
Jacksonville will be the natural outlet for naval
stores and lumber, of which such quantities are man
ufactured in Florida Phosphate shipments should
also be large, while more cotton will find its way
here.
On the whole, the future prospects of Jackson
ville with deep water in the foreground, present
outline of commercial Importance great that esti
nation of results cannot be placed
It is, however, safe to state, that with all ad-
vancement thus far in the industrial life of the city,
it will prove, compared to the development of COM
mercialism of the future as but step in the making
OF the city that Jacksonville is destined to become.

Twenty feet of water is now offered vessels COM
ing up to the wharves Of Jacksonville.
Twenty-four feet Of water for this port will soon
b. realized.
Within eight months the channel in the st. Johns
river leading TO the ocean will have such depth at
lowest point
Constant dripping of water will wear away stone
and persistent dredging will make deepwater chan
mel. So it is with the pathway for deep-draft yes
sells in the st. Johns river from Jacksonville to the
sea.
The many years of effort to make jacksonville
deep water port is fast nearing attainment and in
less than year the long struggle toward this end
will be rewarded by successful completion of the
work.
Already twenty feet Of water have been obtained,
the dredging at Trout creek, the last point in the
work of making the twentyfoot channel, being fin
ished this week.
This alone, can be considered great work. but
operations will not stop at twenty feet. Dredging
will continue until the shoal places in the channel
have depth Of twenty-four feet
That this can be done within eight months is
the gratifying assurance of Lieutenant Colonel
Socket of the engineers Office in charge of the work.
At least it Is possible to complete the dredging in
that time If the work is not hampered by lack of
funds in not getting reasonable bids from private
contractors. Should this be the case O year might
DO required in which to finish the work. but delay
is not apprehended.
Congress will appropriate sufficient money to
carry out the Improvement but it is not likely that
the fund will be available until June. Meantime,
bids will be asked for portions Of the work. and il
satisfactory those receiving the award will he per.
mitted to Immediately begin the contracts. Then
as soon as the appropriation becomes avilable the
