LONDON. April 19.-Prof. D. F. Mitchell
discussing the Yesuvius eruption in partic-
ular and earthquakes in general, says:
''Vesuvius brings home to us the fact that
the earth is a shrinking body, and that
stresses and strains are always present in
the extremely thin shell which we call the
crust of the earth.
THE possible molten condition and there
fore high temperature of the latter beneath
this crust and the immense pressure to
which 1t is subjected by the force of gray

things with which we are at times troubled
That the surface of the earth Is never at
perfect rest. but vibrating like the prongs
of a tuning fork Is shown by the examina-
ton of the curves of the lines traced by the
delicate seismographs 1t is only when these
vibrations exceed certain magnitude that
we experience an earthquake which gener-
ally results IN destruction to some degree
and possibly an increase In activity of some
volcano.

SYMPATHY IN ENGLAND.
Seismic Record at Isle of Wight
Professors Prediction.

LONDON, April 19-The great wave of
sympathy in Great Britain for the sufferers
from the San Francisco catastrophe would
take practical form on the slightest in
timation that financial relief Is necessary
or acceptable. 1t is the general opinion,
however, that the Americans will prefer to
take care of the situation themselves with
out outside aid Public meetings of church,
Good Templar and many other societies to-
day adopted expressions OF sorrow at the
calamity and deep sympathy with the be-
reaved and injured Many inquirers. hav
ing relatives in San Francisco, called dur
ing the day at the American embassy and
the Offices of the Associated Press were
invaded by San Frahciscans DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning the latest news.
Trading on the stock exchange opened
generally dull in sympathy with the hat
ness OF Americans In consequence of the
earthquake. but prices recovered slightly
after the lunch hour, some stocks rising to
above parity.
Il is understood that the British fire in
s,IraDce companies are heavily involved
and the question Is raised as to whether
they are liable for the buildings destroyed
by fire as direct result of the earthquake.
Prof. John Milne. whose seismic observa-
tory at Shide HILL Newport Isle of wight,
recorded disturbance at 80 in the after
noon of Wednesday. April IS, has deys-
oped his smo-photographfc records or
the earthquake. He says the disturbance
was caused by the production of large
fault created by yielding of rocky strata
while undergoing the process OF upheaval.
The professor predicts local shocks later.
but probably much less severe than those
of yesterday
Tho American Society has summoned its
members by telegraph to attend a meeting
tomorrow for the purpose OF discussing
steps to assist the sufferers at San Fran
cisco. Ambassador Reid is expected TO pre-
side.
There were many callers at Dorchester

NEW YORK, April 19.-Morris K Jes-

as signed with the name Of Mayor Schmitz
is 50 peculiar Mr.. Jessup Is inclined to
doubt it's authenticity 1t said:
Thanks for offer. Need no assistance"
This appeared SO strange, taken In con-
nectfon with the other reports that have
been received this morning, that Mr.. les
sup Immediately sent another inquiry To

mittee of safety. asking for fullest particu-
lars as to the extent of the calamity and
adding: Your mayor telegraphs Need no
Mr.. Jessup said this morning concerning
the telegram purporting to be from Mayer
Schmitz: Il do not know what to make ~
this telegram. 1t is so totally at odds IN
the other reports that have come to mo
this morning that am inclined to doubt its
accuracy.
1T does not seem probable that II the
conditions are anywhere near as bad al
have been reported the mayor would send
such a message. 1t was sent from San
Francisco at 5 O'Clock this morning and II
is possible that the message was sent he

was realized 1t would be better that the
telegram should not be taken as accurate
The sympathies of the people have heen
aroused. and nothing should be done 10
keep them from acting. 1t is also neees

HOW THE MINT WAS SAVED.
Superintendent Leach Tells Story o.
Determined Fight.

or all the remarkable incidents of the
awful catastrophe In San Francisco the
escape of the United States mint is per-
haps the most wonderful. Withstandin9
the terrible shock of the earthquake, it
looked for a long time as II the building
would be destroyed by fire. Inside the
vaults of the great structure was SOL
coo 600 In gold and silver coin and 100000
In gold and silver bullion. The flames swept
toward this store of wealth from all sides.
That the building was saved is due entire
ly to the efforts of Superintendent Leach.
his assistants and the fire department Of
San Francisco Every building for many
blocks around fs RACED to the ground, only
the mint building standing as a testimonial
to the work Of heroic men.
The story of the great fight with the
flames is told in the following dispatch re-
cefved this morning by Director Roberts Of
the mint bureau from Superintendent Leach:
San Francisco visited early this morning
by terrible earthquake. followed by fire
which burned the greater part of business
district. Mint building not damaged much
by shock. but the big smokestacks were
badly shaken and may have to come down,
but not sure about It now.
Every building around the mint was
burnt entirely to the ground II Is the only
building not destroyed for blocks. reached
the building before the worst of the shock
came, finding q lot of our men; then
stationed them at points Of vantage from
roof to basement. and with our fire appara-
tus and the help of the fire department
we successfully fought the fire away, OIL
though all the windows on Mint avenue and
back side three-story were burned out.
Fire coming drove US back for a time Ad-
Justfng rooms and refinery were damaged
some and the heavy stone cornice on that
side of the building melted of
THE roof burned a little. Lieut. g. r.
Armstrong, 9th United States Infantry
was with a squad OF men sent to us by the
commanding officer of the department, who
rendered ef1cient aid. Fire stili burning In
central and western parts OF city, and
what little remains of the central business
section Is still threatened. I could not
report sooner as had to wait until got
back to Oakland. Could not get any dis
patches forwarded from San Francisco.
LEACH. Superintendent
It is claimed that had the building burned
down 1t would have resulted In the loss OF
millions of dollars to the government, as{
all the coin and bullion would have been
melted and perhaps destroyed.
