MHERE CHINA LEADS.

In the possession of coal deposits no
country in the world, a German trade
authority declares, can equal China. In
all North America tho coal deposits are
estimated to be 6s1.000, ,000,0 900 tons, but
in one province of China the deposits
are said to be almost double those fig-
ures.
While China is supposed to have in
exhaustible supplies of coal, the de-
posits in all of Asia are described as
so vast that even an approximation is
not possible
The deposits of North America are
greater than those in Germany. Great
Britain, France. Austria, Russia and
Belgium combined. and nearly equal to
the total for all Europe. According to
the figures submitted Germany has
enough coal to last 1000 years at the
present rate of consumption, but Great
Britain will be exhausted in the rela-
lively short period of 400 years.
In Siberia, Russia has vast deposits
of unestimated extent. but from pres
ent indications she will have no diff
ficulty in keeping things warm for a
long time without drawing on these
resources.-Boston Globe.

.GUNsT'S SON IS
FOOTBALL VICTIM.
Dies as Result of Injuries
Received in Game at
San Mateo High School
LINGERS TWO WEEKS

The remains of Elkan Gunst. the Sec
ond son of NJ A. Gunst, who passed
away on Friday morning as the result
of injuries sustained during a game of
football, were laid to rest yesterday
morning in a temporary vault at the
ment was private, and only members of
the family and a few relatives attended
the services.
Young Gunst was just II years of
age and student at the San Mateo
High School. He was completing the
course at the school in preparation for
his entrance to the State University
next fall. He was member of the
school football team and a fearless
player. In a practice game two weeks
ago he received a severe injury at the
base of the nose between the eyes. 1t
was not considered serious and the
young student was inclined to make
light of it.
In few days, however, Gunst devel-
oped severe cold and began to suffer
from pains in his head. He was
brought to a local sanitarium and the
best of medical attendance secured. He
grew worse rapidly and it was discov-
cred that blood poisoning had set in.
Every means known to science was en-
ployed without avail and the young
man expired on Friday morning
He was a bright student, popular
among his schoolmates and had large
circle of friends in San Francisco. The
tender devotion of M. A. Gunst to his
son had been the subject of frequent
remark. The father is bowed down
with intense grief.

ADVOCATES FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Rev. Hubert r. Burgess breaches on
olive Topic of the Day"

Following Is synopsis of a sermon
delivered last evening by the Rev. HUI
bert F. Burgess in the Second Congre-
gational Church on Missions the Live
Topic of the Day" The text was Mark
xvi. Is:
Pulpit discussions of theological
questions belong to the past Today
we preach about results and the quick
est way to obtain them. The church.
militant is the church at warswith evil
Human perversity, ignorance and su-
perstition are the strongholdst of the.
enemy Conflicts are necessary at home
but are not to be compared with the
great battles being fought on foreign
fields. During the Spanish War large
crowds gathered to read the latest bull
letins from Manila and Cuba. Chris
tians should be as anxious to get news
from the strategic points of our spir-
ltual war Our captain cries: Tor
ward, Go ye into all the world" The
command must be obeyed. Drafted
men may sometimes furnish substi-
tutes. If you are disqualified help to
send some one else and supply him
with the sfnews of war. Disease often.
Kills more soldiers than bullets. Sin.
is more fatal than the plague. 1t ruins
soul as well as body. The gospel is
the only known remedy. Can we oo-
serve the golden rule and withhold the
gospel? Think of the millions Ijvine
without furniture, books or wholesome
food In filthy kraals, without education
the knowledge of medicine or indus
trial arts. American workinglnen are
millionaires by comparison. He who
believes capital should be so used as to
beneht the greatest number should be
an ardent advocate of foreign missions

TENDENCY OF THE AGE.
Rev. Henry Stark Speaks of InfideIfty
and Corruption of Senses

Rev. Henry Stark. o. p. who lately
returned to this city after five
months tour of Alaska, Canada and
the Atlantic States, preached at the II
o'clock mass yesterday in the tenn
porary church of the Paulist Fathers
on California street, near Dupont. He
spoke of the tendency of the present
age to inf1delity and its attendant cor
ruption Of the senses, n tendency which
is leaving its stain on American man
hood The very prosperity OF the
country has obscured those higher and
nobler feelings of attachment to re-
ligion. he said, and declared that It
was an eventful moment when the
Savior said to his disciples: Go forth
and teach the whole world" And thus
the Catholic church continues that
mission of teaching and sends forth
the laity, imbued with religious prin-
ciples, to teach the world the real
needs of life-faith In God and a pure
heart.
Religion alone, he said, can save and
elevate us above the things of time
and sense, prove to us that efficiency
is not the measure of duty. that power
is not the rule of right, and that sue
cess is not the test of truth.

Argonauts across the plains and the
hardships that accompanied their com
ing to California AS descendants of
these sturdy seekers of the golden
fleece, he said, it was proper for the
Native Sons to keep alive the spirit of
fortitude.
I'm meeting here today to honor our
dead we also honor the memory of our
brave fathers" he said 1T is by re-
membering the one that we are led
to link them to the other-those un-
abashed pioneers who came here to
find the meadows and landscape ablaze
IN White t6iil duo ttl6 TeQWOOQS like
flame against the sky. 1t was the
spirit that actuated them to face the
mystery of the unknown in search for
conditions that would enable them to
strive for higher and better things in

Rev. Dugan Says We
Are Preparing
for Anarchy.

Rev. w. E. Dugan preached yester-
day IN the Stewart Memorial United
Presbyterian Church on the subject of
San Francisc Preparing for Anarchys'
He said, In part:
They that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength Strength is a
supreme desire of the heart Some
want physical strength, others want
mental, social, political or financial
strength. Strength may be defined as
the ability to overcome opposition. The
physically strong can overcome phys
ical opposition. The highest of all
strength is spiritual. 1t is the ability
70 overcome the world. the flesh and
the devil and to go triumphantly for
ward in the cause Of truth.
Just now San Francisco needs spir-
ttual strength to overcome the MUIR
derous hoodlum element so evident in
our midst. There is a strenuous at
tempt to put the blame for all the
crime going on in our city on the po-
lice. But the police are not to blame
The blame lies farther back In years
gone by the people of this city have
not been waiting on God They have
been Indifferent or antagonistic to re-
igion- Parents, by example, have been
telling the children that religion is a
farce. San Francisco has been sowing
TO the flesh and now she is reaping the
whirlwind- For years people have ig-
nored moral responsibility They have
cut God out of account, have led him
10 the edge of the universe and bowed
him out of existence. and now the chill
dren are coming forward under such
teaching as hoodlums and cutthroats
No, the fault lies not with the po-
lice. 1t rests upon the fact that the
multitudes wait not upon God. Con-
tinue such immoral teaching as has
characterized the conduct of thousands
here in the past and all the police you
can commission cannot suppress crime
The only way TO make a law abiding
city is to teach moral responsibility to
the boys as they grow up. Teach them
by example of Indifference that there
is no God, no sacredness to the Sab
bath and no moral responsibility, then
the vicious viii soon assert itself
Hear me, oh parents in San Fran
cisco. BY Indifference to religion you
are preparing your city for anarchy"

THE VISION OF INSECTS.

notable fact about the vision of
insects and one which it may be sup
posed must largely influence their
view of the external world, is the num-
Der of facets, or lenses, in compound
eyes. A German naturalist, X. Leine-
mann. has been painstaking enough to
count the number of facets in the eyes
of no fewer than $50 species of beetle.
He finds that in the same species and
sex the number increases with size
of the body. There is usually no per-
manent difference between the sexes
as to the number ofs facets. Occasion
ally, however, the difference is marked,
as in the case of Lampyris splendidula,
in which the male has $500 and the
female 800. One species is noted which
has the extraordinary number of "a, 900
facets in its eye. The number of fa-
Gets is greater in the rapidly moving
active forms than in the more sluggish
species.-Philadelphf Record.

S OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact unless early and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.
Reing fully aware of this, Lydia
E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave
exhaustive study to the subject, and in
producing her great remedy for
woman's ills = Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound-was careful to
see that it contained the correct combi-
nation of herbs which was sure to con-
troll that fatal disease, womans S kidney
troubles. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. Derangements OF
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins. backache, bearing-down pains,
scalding or burning sensations or de-
posits in the urine, unusual thirst,
swelling of hands and feet. swelling
under the eyes or sharp pains in the
back. running through the groin, she
may infer that her kidneys are affected
and should lose no time in combating
the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. the woman's
remedy for woman's ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful il is.

ana during the past week many sales
have been closed ard contracts let for
new homes Real estate men and busf-
ness men generally do not look upon
this activity as a boom, but are rather
inclined to believe Il the natural out
GONE Of the many improvements which
Are going on in this vicinity
To suhstantiate this statement they
point 70 the fact that many OF these
sales have been made to local parties
who have been residents here for some
time and know conditions as they exist.
They also state that the completion of
the local and other car lines now in
the course of construction will do much
10 increase the value Of the property
and bring many more of the San Fran
cisco business men who are looking for
suburban homes TO this city.
Several San Francisco business men
visited here during the week with the
express purpose Of selecting a suitable
site for a home or business block, while
many letters have been received from
san Francisco real estate men who say
they are receiving daily inquiries about
Palo Alto and would like to supply
their customers. One of the San Fran

At TACkS MEN WHO
SAVED HIS LIFE.

Walter Campbell. painter. who
lives with his wife and daughter in a
tent at Seventeenth and Harrison
streets, attempted to hang himself last
night, but his wife and Policemen
Clancy and Kelleher arrived on the
scene in time to save his life. They
found Campbell slowly choking to
death at the end of a rope suspended
from tree behind his tent. The de-
spondent man was greatly. incensed
when his self-inf1icted torture was dis
turbed and he fought with the patrol
men alL the way to the police station.
His actions were such that he was
transferred to the detention ward and
his sanity will be made the subject of
investigation
Campbell for the past week had been
drinking very heavily. Saturday night
he endeavored to choke his 1S-year-
old daughter, Irene, to death. His wife
entered the tent in time to rescue the
girl. Last night Campbell waited un-
til his wife and daughter had fallen
asleep and then quietly left the tent,
intending to put an end to his exist
ence. He found a piece of clothes line,
swung one end of it about tree near
the tent, mounted a box, placed a moose
about his neck and then kicked the
box away.
His wife, suddenly awakening, has
tened to search for him and summoned
Policemen Clancy and Kelleher, who
were in the neighborhood. The three
soon located the missing man and after
much difficulty cut him down.
Campbell's anger knew no bounds.
He berated the patrolmen for their
lack of consideration" and announced
that the next time he decided to kill
himself he would seek lonely spot.
While on the way to the police sta
ton in the patrol wagon his anger
broke out afresh and he made a vicious
attack upon Kelleher. His actions and
statements at the station convinced the
sergeant that it was a case for the
Insanity Commission. Campbell was
therefore taken to the detention ward.

BANK TELLER ASKS ORDER
TO VISIT HIS CHILDREN
Harry Haniey Declares His Wife Re
fused to Allow Him to Take
Them From Her Custody

Harry G. Hanley, paying teller of
the Wells Fargo Nevada National
Bank, whose wife recently sued
him for divorce on the ground
of cruelty and succeeded in obtaining
an order for 500 a month alimony,
fled an affidavit on Saturday declaring
that he is not being allowed to see his
children, who are in the custody of
Mrs Hanley, but whom he has received
permission of the court to visit. Han
ley declares that ever since the order
for alimony was issued on June 26 he
has paid the money regularly to Mrs.
Hanley, but that she has not treated
him fairly in regard to the children.
Hanley states that he is unable to
leave his business on Week days from
early in the morning until late hour
at night, and that he has made success
sive efforts on Sundays to see the chill
dren but has only been allowed to do
so two or three times. He says that
Mrs HanIey. with the two children, her
father and mother, two sisters, two
brothers and a roomer, occupy a small
upper fiat Of five rooms at 1926 Ala
bama street, and that on several occa-
sions when he has gone there on Sun
day he has only been allowed to see
the children for a few minutes in the
hallway At other times he says that
he has been informed that the children
were not at home. He asks that he be
given an order to have the custody of
the children each Sunday and be al
lowed to take them wherever he thinks
desirable on such occasions.
A suit for divorce was filed on Satur-
day by Carrie Snapper against Louis
M. Snapper, whom she accuses of fall
ure to provide. Armand Jamain asks
for a divorce from Louise Jamain on
the ground of desertion.
