GRAPHING WITH THE
DREADED BUBONIC PLAGUE

San Francisco, Sept 13.-The new
board Of health appointed by Mayor
Taylor held its first meeting yester-
day.
The board selected a site at twenty
sixth and Army streets for the isola-
tion hospital, to which plague patients
now under treatment at the city and
county hospitals will be removed. 1t
was decidede not to move the other
patients-numbering more than 700--
from the city and county hospitals un-
til the necessity Of burning that struc-
ture has been determined BY exami-
nation Of rats caught there for bac-
THEOLOGICAL inspection.
Tho board voted to selece and equip
its own ARCHAEOLOGICAL laboratory for
plague research and to appoint spe-
cial plague bacteri0l0gist.
A letter was read from Prersident

SANTA ROSA Is BADLY
SHAKEN BY A METEOR

Santa Rosa, N. NJ, Sept 14.-At
about $3.50 yesterday afternoon what
must have been an immense meteor
passed over Santa Rosa in a north
easterly direction.
Shortly after it passed-some say
one minute, some say two and some
ten-two terrific explosions followed
by rumbling noise, shook the earth
like an earthquake.
The meteor dropped near Montoya,
and large fragments OF it have been
recovered. When the burning mass
struck the ground, there was an ex-
plosion like an earthquake.
The First National bank building,
the school house and the Mott hotel.
all large stone and brick buildings,
were shaken until their occupants
thought they would fall.
The engineers of the switch engines
in the yards of the Rock Island said
their engines felt like they were leav-
ing the rails.
At Los Tanos, a station on the Rock
Island, nine miles northeast of Santa
Rosa, the meteor was seen by many.
The clearest description at that
point was given by Harry Miner and
wife, who were driving in buggy a
few hundred yards south of the sta
ton.
To them it appeared to pass In front,
causing bright streak, Immediately
followed by white light and a milky
and smoky appearance OF the sky.
Mr.. Miner says he drove some dis
tance before the two awful explosions
ccurred.
This would indicate that the meteor
| Travelled a number OF miles further be-
fore exploding.
OF the many who witnessed part
of the flight of the monster meteor in
Santa Rosa, perhaps none saw more ol
it than Helen Burnett. She says: u
saw bright streak in the sky go from
overhead straight to the east. Their
where the streak was the sky hllet
with milk. Then 1t thundered awfully
twice."
| Workmen about the round house
here spoke of the milky appearance
of the sky after the meteor passed.

CONCENTRATOR PERFECTED
WHICH MEETS WITH FAVOR

After experimenting over q year on
new rifle group for gold placer
machine, Homer p. Curtis has per-
fected a concentrator that will un-
doubtedly meet with very much favor
among mining men in the dry coun-
tries. The new placer is operated with
air, which does the work of separat-
ing the gold from the dirt, instead of
water, which is now generally used.
The invention should prove q boon to
operators in dry sections.
This machine is the result of sew
eral months Of tireless effort 1t has
SO far proved successful as regards
capacity, efficiency and durability. It
is now on exhibition at the Dillon Iron
works, and was put to practical use
before a large audience Of mining
men and engineers this morning. Mr..
Curtis was overwhelmed with con-
gratulations for his work.
A similar machine of one-half its
size is now in operation in Manhattan,
New, and has been turning out one
ounce of gold per hour. OF course
that is an exceedingly rich mining
country, but it speaks volumes for the
machine.
The sand and gravel are carried TO
the top of the concentrator by means
of an endless chain bucket arrange
ment, where a revolving screen sep
arates the coarse and oversize gravel.
and the fine dirt is driven down into
long rifles or tables.
These tables are perforated and the
dirt lodges in the holes. where it IL
kept whirled about constantly by q
rush of air, and the gold, which has
about eight times greater gravity than
the dirt, finally seeks a resting place
in the hold beneath, while the dirt is
cast aside.
The boxes in which the slides run
are fastened to steel beams, which
form the lower frame of the table,
and this means smooth running not
only when the table is installed, but
for years thereafter.
The new machine is being boxed
and will be shipped to the mines al
Manhattan, where 1t will be put In
operation.-Denver Post.
Mr.. Curtis was a student OF the
mechanical department of the Colo
RADIO Agricultural College for some
time, and while there showed marked
ability and developed a special apu-
tude for things mechanical.

the dominance first on one side and
then on the other. The disturbing ef-
feet of the critical condition of the
copper trade and the candid acknow-
ledgment by officials high in authority
threw the benefits which had begun
to be felt from the clearing money out
look, the success of the New York
city bond sale and the shaping of the
final yield of the country's great
staple crop. The condition of the cop
per trade was frankly termed utterly
demoralized.
The demand for copper is said to
be completely paralyzed, with no point
OF stability in sight at which reawak-
ened buying may arrest the declining
tendency and with huge stocks of
refined copper already accumulated
by the great producers. The financial
burden of holding these vast accum-
ulations is aggravated by the close
ness of the money market, and cred
ence is given to reports that banks
were unwilling to extend loans against
copper and were in fact recalling
them. The indicated intention to cut
down production, therefore, seemed to
offer no occasion for surprise, but
came as a shock to sentiment never
theless.
The relaxation which has come to
the money markets and which has
been pronounced in all the great CEN
ters, was accepted as a reliable in
dication that one great factor in the
strain had turned the corner to i'm
provenment. The success of the New
York city bond issue also was accept
ed as pointing definitely to a better
investment situation. The tranquility
with which the money market met
the heavy requirement of the pay
| ment for the New York bonds and
| Union Pacific convertible bonds, on
| which an installment of over $780,
| 100000 fell due on the same day, was
reassuring over the condition of the
money market. The redeposit of the
proceeds of the bond sales, further
deposits of government funds by the
! banks, the redemption OF the Japanese
8 per cent bonds, of which the Ameri-
can holdings proved to be unexpected
| ly large, and the making of exchange
by the outward flood of merchandise
exports, are looked to for further re-
plenishment of supplies in the money
| market.
Solicitude over the money market
has largely subsided in consequence oi
these developments. The government
crop report in spite the deterioora-
ton shown in the grain crops, leaves
a feeling of confidence that a consid-
cradle surplus will be left available
for export at profitable figures The
heavy outgo of cotton is evidence also
of sufficient stocks of that importan,

VANCOUVER SHIPS $40 HINDUs
BY SPECIAL TRAIN TO OTTAWA

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 13.-With a
subscription list started by Mayor

which up to last night had grown to
81 500, Vancouver citizens will char

Hindus who arrived in this city yes
terday by steamer Monteagle. on board,
will ship the east Indians bag and
baggage to Ottawa, the seat OF the fed
eral government.
This Is the plan evolved and which
is to be carried into effect providing
the necessary amount OF money can
be raised.
On board the Monteagle were hun
dreds of Chinese, Japanese and Hin
dus. The Hindus formed the greatest
part OF the human cargo and the plan
to ship them to Ottawa with the COM
pliments of Vancouver. Is an outcome
of the recent oriental disturbances.
The steamship company. fearing
trouble, landede nearly all fthe Jap
anese at Victoria. At Vancouver. the
dock was roped OF for two blocks and
heavily guarded by company and po-
lice. An attempt was made to land in
Hindus. An immense crowd had gath
cred and the officials were afraid to
let the Hindus face the crowd alone.
They were returned to the ship. with
the announcement that they would
stay there until today. The white lab.

HOW THAT BRUTE
BECAME KNOWN AS PRINCE
New York World.

New York World.
One day that brute" followed the
Van Ness children home at Two
Bridges, N. ]. Certainly that brute"
has no. pride of ancestry; he is yell
low, and when viewed at different
angles and in different lights it is hard
to tell whethed greyhound, mastiff,
bulldog, or dachshund pYedominates in
his hybrid blood.
Throw that brute out" said Far
mer Van Ness when the children
brought him home. Hes a mutt;
he's no good"
Thus the big ,ungainly dog got his
name; Jessie Van Ness, years old,
lisps it " that boot" which is equally
the diminitive for beauty"
That brute" hung around the house
keeping sharp lookout for Papa Van
Ness and fleeing, tail between legs,
whenever he saw him The dogs exist
ence would have been most precarious
had not the older Van Ness children
pocketed part Of their lunchs and din
ners, and finding that brute" some
where on the territory he appropriated
along the Passiac river, fed him, while
he nearly jumped out of his saffron
skin in greatful happiness.
The children have a swing on tree
on the rivers bank. Willie, 10 lears old,
was swinging small Jessie yesterday.
THAT brute" lay in the shade, blinking
contentedly, for was he not near his
good friends? When the swing was at
the highest of its arc Jessie lost hold
of the ropes, and with frightful little
scream. was shot far out into the
river.
Like a yellow streak that brute
ran, jumped after her, and when she
arose seized her clothes in his jaws
and kept her afloat. Willie's frightened
shrieks for help brought the mother
and a farm hand. They got there just
in time to see that brute" lay Jessie
safe, sound, dripping. gasping, on the
rivers bank.
Jessie was all right in an hour. Last
night that brute" lay very much at
ease in the Van Ness dining room. Now
and then Papa Van Ness patted the
dogs head and said.
Prince, old boy, as soon as you
think you can eat some more just say
so, will your"
