SAN FRANCISCO, December I'll
Passing quiet Sunday at home read
ing before d merrily blazing gas log
Nathan Siminoff, clerk of 2019 Mar
ket street, was plunged in an instant
from the peace and comfort of his
room to the agony of his deathbed by
the explosion of the gas apparatus.

ond's warning, and the force of the
blast demolished the entire side of the
room.
Siminoff was terribly burned by the
flare of flame, and while he was with
ing in pain the heavy stone mantel-
piece, blown from it's position, struck
the PROSTATE man on the head. The
blow was terrific Simmons skull was
fractured.
The noise of the explosion aroused
the other occupants of the house, and
all rushed to the room of the injured
man. He was discovered unconscious
An ambulance was summoned, which
took SlnminoR to the German hospital

SLUGGING MATCH
OF BANTAMS
A DRAW

SAN FRANCISCO, December a.
Referee Alva King called the fifteen
round contest between Monte Attell
and Jimmy Walsh draw and the de-
cision was in accord with the work
done. The two lads fought at top
speed from the first round to the last.
While Attell landed the greater num-
her of blows the other boy certainly
scored the harder punches. Attell went
to his launches several times but it
was more from being overbalanced
than from the effect of Walsh's
smashes.
1t was nip and tuck for the first six
rounds and Walsh struck trouble in
the seventh. While going through the
motions of left shift he left himself
open and Attell crossed him neatly on
the jaw. Walsh was pretty badly bat
tered and he showed the effect for a
couple of rounds.
After that the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed 1t looked in the twelfth
round as if Attell would be hammered
through the ropes. His face was bad
ly bruised and he was bleeding free
ly as he went to his corner. From
that point on it was smuggling match
pure and simple, and there was moth
ing to choose between the two men
at the finish.

ITALY IS
SHAKEN.
Terrific Earthquake Devastates Three
Provinces in Southwest Part
OF Kingdom.
TIDAL WAVE SWEEPS COAST.
Losses OF Life and Property Are
Greater Than from Disaster
of 1905.
TIDAL WAVE SWEEPS COAST.

ROME, December 29.-As a result OF
the great earthquake yesterday, three
Of the provinces in the southwestern
extremity Of Italy are devastated.
The earthquake centered in Sicily and
the cities Of Catania and Messina are
partly destroyed. Following the
shock, a tidal wave swept the coast Of
the gulf of Catania and parts of the
city of Catania are inundated, while
the handsome streets Of MessinA are
covered deep in black mud, washed up
by the tidal disturbances.
TELEGRAPH BROKEN.
Telegraphic communication with ST.
oily and the stricken provinces has
been destroyed, but from the reports
which have been sent out it is shown
that there has been terrible loss of
life and property, exceeding the losses
in the disaster of 1905.
Thousands are reported to have been
injured,
HUNDREDS OF WRECKS.
The tidal wave, which swept the en-
tire east coast of Sicily, sank five hun
bred boats and several larger vessels.
The steamer Piemonte which arriv-
led from Messina at Milazzo has
brought five hundred and fifty wound
ed persons from that city.
TROOPS BEING SENT.
Seven steamers and three battle
ships, carrying eighteen thousand
troops have been despatched to the
scene of the disaster
FIRES AND LOOTING.
A terrific rainstorm at the time add
ed to the suffering, while the breaking
out of fires and the looting of thieves
added to the horror.
POPE WISHED TO GO.
Pope Plus, when news of the disas-
ter arrived here, insisted upon leav-
ing for the scene of disaster, but was
finally persuaded by his physicians
not to go.
In the absence of communications
from the affected districts the widest
reports are in circulation here.

ranged for a local team to meet

How the World Grows.

In a little more than a hundred
years, according to government figures,
the population Of the world has grown
from 640OOO,OO0 to LOCO 100000, an
increase Of $50 per cent. At the end Of
so many hundreds Of centuries, In 9TH
er words, there were in the world In
1900 only 640OO0,0OO Of persons, and
In log years, from 1900 to 1906, to this
number had been added 100000, 900.
The total commerce Of the world in
300 was about $500, OO0,O 600: in 1900
It was more than $4,000, 100000. 9th
er figures show that in wealth and the
growth Of various industrial agencies
the increase has been far swifter than
that Of population.
The overpopulation of the world is
not a present menace to the thinkers
Of today, but the thinkers Of a period
when there were less than half as

now seriously debated the imminence
Of the catastrophe that the oEercrowd-

THE OPEN TURREf.
What . caustie Critic of Our Navy
Has to Say About Il.

What q Caustic Critic OF Our Navy
Has to Say About Il.
The most important protection Of a
battleship, outside Of the hull itself, is
that given to its magazines. Never
since the use Of powder upon fighting
ships has there been such danger to
the magazines as exists in every bat
tleship and armored cruiser In the
American feet. 1t is a first principle,
recognized even in the days Of wooden
frigates, that powder must not be
passed directly up to the gun deck
through a vertical shaft. The open
turret OF the United States battleship
is the only violation Of this principle In
the practice OF the world.
The open turret is a conicaI shaft
leading straight down into the hull OF
the ship. At the top Of this shaft the
powder Is loaded into the heavy gun.
At its bottom is the handling room,
where the powder is delivered from
the magazine. Around this handling
room and opening directly into it are
the magazines.
The guns In the turret are fired with
charges Of smokeless powder. This
powder is hard, round substance, Of
a composition which looks not unlike
celluloid. Its grains-in the charges
for the heaviest gun-are cylinders
about the size of a spool Of thread.
These grains Of powder when uncon-
fined do not explode IL they are set on
fire, but are consumed like fixing fire
crackers. Now, under present condi-
lions at least, a certain number Of &C
cidents in loading and firing guns can
be counted on. When these occur the
burning powder grains will fall straight
down into the handling room. The
charges in the handling room will be
set on fire and the whole turret will
be filed at once with a poisonous.
flaming gas that destroys life imme-
diately and even melts the softer met
ais. Three times already by a miracle
American ships have been saved from
the explosion Of their magazines be-
cause Of this kind Of accident-Henry

Hunting ths Had Huntsrn.

All efforts to subdue the head hunt

determination has been entered upon,
and now when a company Of head
hunters is located the place is sur
rounded by a wire fence. The wires
are charged with electricity. The SOL
diers begin to shoot. The savages
stampede, and then the deadly wires
get those that the bullets miss. There
are about 100000 Of these head hunt
ers infesting the eastern coast Of the

desirable citizens have failed: They

and Chinese into an ambush and kill
