NERVOUS ToGA WEARERS

At some period in the distant future
there might be an earthquake at the
isthmus Of Panama. The earthquake
might be energetic enough to damage
an isthmian canal of the lock pattern.
Therefore, construct a sea level canal
instead OF the lock kind, even though
more years of time and more tens of
millions of dollars be necessary in the
change Of plan.
That is the essence of the chief argu-
ment advanced by the majority of the
senate canal committee in justification
OF the report recommending the sea
level system.
That argument seems about as eogent
as the one offered by Mrs Toodles, in
famous old comedy. in justification
OF her purchase at auction of a second
hand door plate bearing the name
Thompson She said, 'Toodles, we
may have a. daughter; that daughter
may grow TO womanhood; she may
marry a man named Thompson; then

SIERRA RANGE SLIPPED SIX FEET
Explains EsF
quake and Its
From nsas star

A clear and authoritative statement
Of the cause OF the recent earthquake
is given by President Jordan Of Leland
Stanford, jr, university. in the latest
issue of the New York independent
'thrbance was caused by the slipping
northward Of the mountain ridge that
forms the backbone Of the peninsula on
which San francisco stands. The
slipping was along the line OF an old
orevice, technically known as a fault"
Vesuvius is not mentioned as having
any connection with the quake. Presl-
dent Jordan says!
THE backbone Of the peninsula of
San Francisco Is formed by softly
rounded mountain chain, locally known
as Sierra Morena, or sierra Santa
Cruz. This rises to the height of about
$500 feet in the peak called Iona
Prieta. growing gradually lower to the
northward, where II passes into the
sea. Along the east base of this noun
tain for forty miles or more extends
sharply defined narrow valley,
known in different places as Stevens
creek. Portola valley, Canada del Ray
mundo, Spring valley, San Andreas
and extends northward by Mussel-shell
Rock across the Golden Gate to Bolinas
bay and Tomales bay. This marks an
old fault of geologic times. Where it
was made, the rocks on the east side
fell some 1000 feet as related to those
on the west which constitute the
Sierra Morena.
The Fault Reopened
Most of the earthquake shocks
about San Francisco have been due
to frictions and readjustments along
the line OF this old fault The very
violent shock of April 1S was clearly
due to this. The old fault in the rock
reopened, breaking the surface soil
more or less for distance of upward
of forty miles The mountain on the
west side of the fault slipped to the

SLANG NOT ALL AMERICAN

Is fired out" an Americansm? This
question is put by a London paper in
discussing the use Of the expression by
the Vienna correspondent OF the Times
i'm connection with the dismissal of the
American ambassador to Austria Hum
gary. Anything that seems sangy is
generally stamped as an Amerlcanism,
but in this case, as in so many others
of similar nature, IL is shown that the
phrase can be found imbedded In the
classics of the English language Fired
out" an Americanism? Well, In one of
Shakespeare's sonnets, as one of the
London papers says. you may read:
Yet this shall ne'er know, but live in
doubt,
Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
An American school teacher, and this
is another illustration that comes to
mind-decided that his pupils should
drop the word SAY" because II was in
elegant. The tendency to begin a re-
mark or a question with Say" may
certainly be overdone, but as a bright
pupil pointed out, II say is vulgar,
how should we regard the use OF IL in
the first line OF "The Star-Spaneled
Banner"-"Oh, say, can you see?'

DEER TRACKS DISTINGUISHED

Sportsmen have no cause to haggle
over distinguishing features in the
tracks of deer, which, if they exist, are
so slight that they quickly disappear If
the conditions are not ideal, and they
most assuredly are not when snow is
on the ground, as 1t is when the average
hunter does his tracking. However, 1
deem it necessary to point out few
fea lures which distinguish deer tracks
from those of porkers and domestic
sheep, for everywhere 1 have hunted
thus far I have found gunners who.
judging from the zeal with which they
followed their tracks, were as anxious
to capture these barnyard deer as
others might have been to get venison.
A deer, if walking, always places it's
feet firmly closed upon the ground,
and consequently the track is sharply
drawn, that is, the hoof is not spread
to any appreciable extent; exceptions
are sometimes the ack of deer that
are heavy with fawns, during spring
and early summer, and those of old
bucks during the rutting season. But
even then the heels of their tracks
are considerably closer together than in
tracks made by hog or a sheep. The
hoofs of the latter two animals are
always rounder at the tone than those
of the deer, making the tracks they
leave easily distnquishable, and if the
difference is not discernible in frozen
snow, the fact that the trail made by
hogs or sheep does not register should
settle all doubts for the tracker A
deer, if not wounded, will always stop
with it's hind foot in the track made
by the front foot-Joseph Drummer in
Field and Stream.

THE GREAT UNREJEcTED

Ex-President Cleveland's modest
boast that nothing he has written in the
course of fifty years of literary work
has ever been rejected by a publisher
leads inevitably to a question of how
much he wrote before he reached the
stage of being in demand. During his
two terms Of office as president he had
what might be termed a "cinch" on
the market. The editor of the Congress
sional Record was aSsuredly in no posi-
tion to decline with thanks. Curiosity
naturally centers upon what Mr.. CleveN
land wrote fifty years ago. He was
then 10 years old. Was he then MEM
ber of the vast poets corner" familyi
Or did he avoid rejection by the simple
expedient of writing nothing? The
writer folks who have stacks of blue
and yellow and white slips, neatly
printed in imitation of typewriting and
couched in an artistic vein of possibly
personal address, will be inclined to
view this half century of immunity
with some suspicion. 1t is too good to
be true. 1t is virtually incredible that
any real writer ever lived who always

GREAT MARksMANsHIP

Wonderful hunting stories are going
the rounds in Indian Territory. gov
ernment employe related that he killed
six deer at one shot while hunting re
Gently in the Choctaw nation. He ex-
planned that the animals were standing
in straight line, military order, with
their heads together, and that he aimed
at the head of the animal nearest to
him, the bullet passing through the
heads of all the others. The story was
put to shame by that of another federal
employe who declared that he recently
shot wild turkey, and the instant the
bullet struck it's mark the bird flew
up from the ground just as a fine
buck was running by. While the bull
let was passing through the birds body
it was raised in it's course by the fight
of the bird, so that it struck the deer

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-The bar
racks built by Col. Morgan Draper at
Mayor Schmitz order for the homeless
refugees in Golden Gate park are al
ready complete and partly occupied.
1t is expected that they will house
5000 persons. Each family is allotted a
space of two rooms running from front
to back of the barracks, and there are
thirty-two Of these apartments on each
street.
Down the streets which separate the
sheds four stoves are placed and the
families of each side do all their cook
ing on these. Each apartment has a
door and window in the front room and
a window in the back room.
Already the families sheltered therein
appear very comfortable, and lace cur
tains at some of the windows give a
touch of domesticity to the rough sheds.
The government supplies the occupants
with regular army rations and insists
upon the strictest neatness while within
the confines of the barracks.

GOOD FOR SAN PEDRO

Good news for San Pedro was con-
tanned in Washington dispatch from
Senator Flint. The news is to the effect
that the war department has author
lied Lieut.. Miner and his hackers to
go ahead with their project for expand
ing shipping facilities at the harbor.
The work as planned embraces the
filling in of 1853 acres of low ground so
as to adapt it to commercial purposes
The plan provides for extensive dock
and wharfage additions to the acreage
now available for such purposes
This permission from the government
has been the only impeachment to earlier
prosecution of the work in question.
Three months ago the city trustees of
San Pedro gave official sanction to the
enterprise, having satisfied themselves
that it would be of great advantage to
the commercial interests of the citS
and harbor. 1t is understood that all
preparations are made for prosecuting
the work at once, and practical begin
ming is expected at an early day.
1t will necessarily be very expensive
undertaking to fill in so large an area
of low graund and adapt it for shipping
purposes. The cost, as intimated, will
involve some millions of dollars. The
expenditure will be chiefly for labor,
calling for a large force of men and
teams.
The project is only one of the
steps in progress, or soon to be taken.

NOW PAYING POLICY HOLDERS
in Favor of San Francisco
Citizens
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-The in
surance companies paid to policy hold
ers yesterday $160,000, the first pay
ments that have been made since the
fire. The delay that has caused some
inconvenience and much criticism
will no longer embarrass claimants.
1t is expected that by the end of the
month the greater part of the undis-
puted claims will have been settled.
There is still some question about the
payment of the larger risks, because of
the difficulty of adjustment. To over
come this it has been agreed among
the underwriters that where the in
surance is divided among many COM
panies committee of three adjusters
be selected to determine the extent OF
the losses This arrangement will ex-
pedite the settlements.

senting the underwriters in the commit
tee on reconstruction, believes the in
surance money will be quickly paid.
