San Francisco's Recovery.

The latest number of the Sunset
magazine. which is devoted to Pacific
slope matters, tells us that in the three
years which have passed since the
great San Francisco earthquake and
fire the total of s142.243,645 has been
expended in rebuilding that city
About 10000 buildings were lost in that
awful cataclysm and holocaust of April,
1906, and since then 20,477 building
permits have been issued. AS the new
buildings are much finer and larger
than those that were destroyed, we
NAV infer that the rebuilding of the
three years comes near to covering the
pages of the magazine for one who has
seen the old San Francisco are the pic
ture pages. They completely set at
rest the fear that the charm of the city
might somehow be lost obviously the
picturesque site is made far more at
tractive than it ever was before the
fire. The new buildings outclass the
old. They are more massive and more
ornamental. Some of them are of rare
architectural beauty. In looking at the
views of important business streets IL
seems almost incredible that but a
few months ago there was ruin added
to ruin where great blocks Of buildings
now stand. One feels that the city has
advanced far more rapidly because of
the fire than it could possible have done
without the aid of that costly ana
dreaded helper. It's appearance is
vastly improved. and this is reason for
congratulation, even though treasures
were lost that can never be replaced.
But how about the life of the civ
about which so much has been written :
In the article by Rufus Steele on The
CITY That Is" there is testimony that
there has been little change. "Atmos-
pherc." says the writer, lis a shifting
thing OF asbestos which may float out
again to wait above the ashes. Happily
disaster days put a crimp in some Of
the frivoities of the town, but, verify,

SENDS THOUGHT BY WIRE.
Moscow Professor Predicts Trans.
mission of Mind by Telegraph.

Thought Will be transmitted just as
a telegram is. Thought energy can be
carried along conductor and into the
earth much in the same way as a light
ming rod conducts lightning. 1t is
more than possible that thought can
be conducted and make itself visible
in writing
These remarkable conclusions con-
corning thought transmission are
reached by Prof. Kotik, of Moscow a
psychologist with European reputa-
ton says the Chicago Inter Ocean. He
publishes them in pamphlet. entitled,
"The Invisible Thought Photography.
1t is attracting as great attention in
Germany AS it is in Russia
Kotik made the experiments on
which his conclusions are based on a
girl of IA years old, daughter of pro-
fessional thought reader. and her faith
er. He chose them because their
minds are trained. Kotik's audience
was composed of the members of the
elmer clinic" of Moscow University,
who may be regarded as experts in
psychology. Tie girls eyes were care
fully bardaged. her ears We're stuffed
with paraflin and Internationally, she
was blind and deaf for the time.
In the first experiment her father
stood on bare wooden floor he hold
ing her hand She read quickly and
accurately all the words and short
sentences her father presented to her
while he held her hand. The words
and sentences were written by persons
in the audience. and most were in Ian
guages which neither father nor
daughter understood. A physician
wrote in Greek. The girl. her eyes
bound still. reproduced the Greek
