THE CLIFF
HOUSE
RESORT NEAR FRISCO
BURNED DOWN.
WAS LOCATED ON PROMINENT
POINT OUT FROM GOLDEN
GATE.

San Francisco, Sept. 8.-The IA
nous Cliff House of this city. San
Francisco's first attraction for tourists,
was burned to the ground Saturday
evening. Fire broke out in the build
ing about 4:45 o'clock, and an hour
later blackened heap of ruins was all
that remained of the historic struc-
ture. The house was built of wood,
and famed by the lively ocean breezes,
the flames made such Roadway be-
fore the nearest fire company arrived
that it was realized that the place was
doomed, and more attention was paid
to saving adjoining property than to
the burning building.
The Cliff House had been closed for
some time, as the new lessee, John
TAFT, was remodeling the interior.
Workmen were about the place until
noon, and then departed for the day.
How the fire started Is mystey.
This was the second Cliff House to
be destroyed by fire. The building
which was burned today was erected
by Adolph Sutro, of Sutro tunnel fame,
30 years ago. 1t was owned by the
Sutro estate and was valued at $50, 900.
TAFT estimates his loss at $4,000, on
which there is $4,000 insurance.
The Cliff House was ranked as one
of the best known resorts of America.
Located on rocky prOmontary beyond
the Golden Gate, directly above the
flashing waves of the Pacific ocean, and
affording close view of the seals dis
porting on the rocks near shore, it was
a strong attraction for visitors, and
from it's broad porches hundreds OF
thousands of people Obtained their first
view of the mighty waters. The mag
nifcent Sutro baths near by were not
damaged.
! The house has stood for years as one
of the monuments to the late AdOlph
Sutro, once mayor of San Francisco
popular more because of his enterprise
in providing pleasure for San Fran
ciscans and pretty scenes for the visit
ing tourist than for any other reason
The visitor to San Francisco who fail
ed to see the Cliff House, it was always
regarded, had seen but little of the
beauties of the city by the Golden Gate
This resort with the bathhouse ant
museum and other architectural adorn
ments of Sutro Heights, ranked, as the
first attraction of San Fancisco.
For years the only means of reach
ing Point Lobos, on which Sutro chose
to make the premier beauty spot of thu
western coast, drawing the attention
of visitors from every corner of thu
world, was by novel looking DUNN.
engine which drew two small passen
ger coaches. The travel became s.
heavy finally that Sutro constructe'
his own trolley line from the city, on
of the first, if not the first, overhead
trolleys ever put in operation in Sal
Francisco.
The Cliff House was the first vieV
of land that greeted the incoming shi
from the Orient, being visible for mile
at sea.

crobes. Following his own researches
Lister attended clinics given by Syme.
the foremost physician Of the day.
In 1860, Lister was appointed profess
sor of surgery at the University OF
Glasgow. 1t was while acting as sur
geon to the royal infantry that he made
the discovery which initiated the new
era in surgery. Before that tune ak
most all wounds, accidental and sur
gical alike, underwent process OF Id
llammation and suppuration, ACCOM-
panied by much pain and loss Of health
The most trivial operations were not
infrequently followed by death. Many
patients died rather than face the hor-
rors Of an operation. Erysipelas te-
tanus and hospital gangrene were n
most constantly present in hospitaR
wards.
There was no knowledge Of the
causes Of these diseases. They were
considered to be constitutional The
physician took no blame or responsaS
bility. Death was simply the victims
misfortune.
Such an appalling state Of affairs
acted on Lister and he decided to
solve the trouble, IL possible. At about
this time Pasteur demonstrated tina
fact of the existence Of the germ and
that putrefaction and decompesttiOs
were caused by certain micro-Organ-
isms that came from without. Lister
applied this knowledge to the cause OF
wound diseases.
The great deductions which Lister
made were (1) that "putrefaction" In
wounds was caused by microbes, (2)
that these were introduced from the
outside, (3) that "putrefaction" might
be prevented by keeping the wound
free from germs, ~ that this might
be effected by the employment Of some
substance which would destroy the
microbe. The antiseptic system was
founded on these principles. Starting.
then, with the idea of destroying, by
an antiseptic substance, the germs I'm

contact with the wound, such AZ IN
struments, and in Its surroundings,

bolic acid-a fortunate selection, for Il
is still regarded as one Of our best
germicides.
He gave his method thorough trial
It proved successful. Now cases Of
gangrsne and the like rarely follow
operations. Thousands Of lives have
been saved by this one discovery. II

Lord Joseph Lister was born in Esa
sex, England, in 1927. His eightietn
birthday was celebrated last week. His
father had taken a keen interest IN
science and done much in improving
the microscope. As young man, LIS
ter possessed two valuable assets, a
first class microscope and an unbound
ed enthusiasm for scientific investiga-
ton. 1t was therefore natural that hs
should turn his attention to such
branches Of histology and physiology
as were within his reach. His first re-
searches were in the fiber Of involun-
tary muscles, the skin, the flow Of lac
teal fluid and kindred subjects Early
In his life he became interested In
wounds and the diseases that frequent
