San Francisco Herself AoaIn.

San Francisco, after the earthquake
and fire Of April, 1906, had a grand
opportunity to follow the example of
Burbank and Muir in combining beau
ty with utility. Some of the streets,
at any rate, might have been built on
easy contour lines instead of the mo-
notonous parallels so ill-suited TO this
hilly site; but all attempts at this, or
at widening some Of the narrow bust
ness streets, or bonding the city for
new parks and Fairgrounds failed.
Selfish interests prevented any con-
Certed action, and the chance is lost
Yet it would be unjust to infer from
this that Joaquin Miller was right
when he wrote, long before this ca.
lamity, that "the heart of California
San Francisco, is comparatively with
out heart, loyalty or love of home"
Surely history records no more re-
markable display Of loyalty and love
OF home than that which impelled the
victims OF this catastrophe to begin
rebuilding before the ashes were cold.
and to rebuild at such record
breaking rate that the prediction made
by both David Starr Jordan and Ben.
jamin Ide Wheeler. that in five years
San Francisco would be herself again.
seems likely to come true.
We found piles OF calcined bricks.
fire-twisted masses of iron, ashes and
weeds, and ruins still in many places
where splendid buildings had stood ::
but the business streets were being
restored rapidly by the erection OF
rows of structures finer and more sub
stantial than those that had been de
stroyed. Naturally, the first build.
ings to go up were houses of com
merce, and as regards these the
charge cannot be made that beauty is
being ignored. The public buildings
will come later, and the thousands of
families that moved to temporary
homes in Oakland. Berkeley and other
cities that may some day be included
in the Greater San Francisco are re.
turning grIlually.-Henry r. Finck

southwest corner there is a large Their
mometer displayed in front of a store,
the kind you can read half block

quicksilver in the tube to mark the de-
grees fahrenheit. On one OF the re-
cent near-zero days the red line stood
serenely at ga degrees, with icycles
hanging on al sides. country man
came sauntering idly around the cor
ned of the Third National Bank with
q country mans utter disregard OF
cold, when all other pedestrians were
stepping briskly and the policeman on
the corner was beating his arms about
his manly chest in an effort to keep
warm.
The "rube" stopped to wait for
car, and his glance fell on the Their
Dometer. He stepped closer and
scanned It carefully. There was no
mistake, it stood at 94 degrees in the
shade.
A look Of incredulity gradually ap-
peared on the mans countenance, and
as he moved away he was heard to
mutter:

British Elections.

The two great political parties in
England are the Unionists, or Con
servatives, and the Liberals. In the
present campaign the Liberals are de-
Tending a system of taxation proposed
by their administration shifting the
burden more equally upon the great
landholders. The Unionists are op-
posing this as socialistic and Offering
instead a protective tariff policy. The
Laborites. representing the trades
union constituencies, are uniting with
the Liberal administration in support
of its taxation policy. The National
lists are the Irish home rule mem
bers. The Unionists are opposed to
home rule, the Liberals pledged to It.
In the last Parliament the Liberals
had a large majority in the House OF
Commons, the popularity elected
chamber. The House OF Lords, oil
hereditary chamber, is overwhelming
ly Unionist, the Liberal peers being g
small minority. The rejection of the
Liberal taxation bill by the House OF
Lords caused the general election.

Ancient Civilization.

The ancient pueblos of Arizona and
New Mexico have been explored and
their rich and varied contents made
known to the world through the con
tributions of Charles F. Lummis,

markable civilization existed in that
region many centuries before Column
bus discovered new world, and per-
haps before the affairs and pyramids
OF ancient Mexico and Yucatan were
erected, seems highly probable. A
department of local prehistoric re-
search has been organized in the
University Of Southern California and

ment of Prof. Hector Aliott.-Los
