BUSINESS MEN RETURN TO OLD
SITES

The tendency of business is to seek the
old quarters occupied before the fire. The
real estate and banking houses have gone
back to their old sites, and this has car
ried all allied business TO Montgomery and
to become one of the great retail streets
and Grant avenue will be improved. All
the streets running from Market up to
Van Ness south of Suffer- street will be
devoted entirely to business and hotels
and apartment houses. as, under the fire
regulations. it will be impossible to build
in this district in wood The old Mob
Hill district promises to be rebuilt largely
with apartment houses and hotels.
Chinatown, which It was suggested be-
fore the fire should be removed to the
Potrero. is back in its location, the Chi,
nese merchants surprising their white
rivals in the energy with which they have
restored their business places.
To sum up, 1t may be said that by an
other anniversary of the disaster more
than half Of the burned district will be
covered with permanent buildings, and
five years will see 1t completely restored.
Portions of the residence district will b.
rehabiltated more slowly unless the fire
ordinances are relaxed. for it will be i'm
possible to get returns from brick build
ings for residences on such streets as
Powell, Mason. Taylor, Jones and
Leavenworth from Bush to Suffer.
The main feature of building is the
large use of reinforced concrete, which
before the fire was barred by the labor
unions. The latter attempted to prevent
the use of concrete after the fire. but
they found that public sentiment was
against them The cost of rebuilding has
been greatly increased not only by the adj
vance in wages of all kinds, but by the
spirit Of unrest and carelessness among
the merchants. The experience of all
builders is that bricklayers, who are get
ting IS n day. and carpenters, who are get
ting Sc n day, do not work as we'll as they
did when they were receiving normal
wages. They Soldier more. and they re-
sent the reproofs of foremen, frequently
leaving a good job because called to ac-
count for scamped work or for idling.

Story of a Word,

A comparison of old editions OF
SCOTS MONASTERY" with one of later
date will reveal slight alteration in
the text of a sentence in the tenth
chapter. For the word morse" an
other is substituted. A tale of COM
edy attaches to the word which has
gone. Hardened wretch" says
Father Eustace, "art thou but this in
slant delivered from death, and dost
thou SO soon morse thoughts of
Slaughter" The origin Of the word
morse seems sorely to have troubled
the etymologists.
Two learned correspondents of
Notes and Queries. Mr.. Wheatley tells
us, accounted for the word. One ex-
planned 1t as "to prime" as when one
primes a musket, from o. FIR.
'amorce," powder for the touchhole
(Cotgrave). and the other by ito
bite" Lat. "mordere"O; hence Ito
indulge in biting. singing or gnawing
thoughts of slaughter"
On the other side were those who
said that the word was misprint for
something else. THAT the word as
misprint should have been printed
and read by millions for fifty years
without being challenged and altered

For the Noiseless City.

Speaking of the prospect of max

eliminated? "By forcing the compa-
MES to live up to the law in not using

only partly solves the difficulty. Now
science proposes to do away with the
scraping of iron against iron. There
are two methods proposed. One is to
use rubber tires for the car wheels

Der tires for car wheels are somewhat
of novelties, but long series of ex-
periments has been made with them
which show that they will in the end
be adopted. 1t is not natural rubber,
but an artificial compound, which Is
fastened to the rim of the wheels by
process of welding. The coating
cannot be torn of, and wears only
little faster than iron. If the top sur
