When the Seas Began.

Prof. c. M. Woodward, in his presi-
dental address to the American Associa-
ton for the advancement of Science last
December, remarked that recent penduE-
lum observations, which indicate the va
riations OF gravity. have justified the con-
clusions OF Professor Dana concerning
the permanence of the continents and
oceans. The earth'S crust is found to be
more dense beneath the oceans than be-
meath the continents, and it is believed
that the distinction between sea and
land has its basis in the het erogeneity OF
the material composing the interior ofthe
earth. The determining conditions arose
in the original aggregation OF that part OF
the primitive nebula which formed the
earth. TIE ocean basins afterward grad
ually subsidized, and the continental mass
es gradually rose, with many fluctuations
but upon the whole they have never
exchanged places.

never more affectionate since the day
they were married.

Her ONLY Criticism.

Little Dorothy not only liked her tea
and coffee to have the appearance OF being
"real and truly" but she also liked to
taste the flavor of each. One afternoon
her mother took her TO friends home
where tea was served at o'clock.
The hostess gave to Dorothy what she
usually gave to her own children, o.
Dorothy's age, in the line of liquid re-
freshment-viz, hot water, sugar and milk
Dorothy tasted hers politely and ate hei
little cakes.
"Why, Dorothy, you aren't drinking
your tea, dear. Isn't il sweet enough?"
asked the hostess.

piled the child.
"Then why aren't you taking it?"
OTIS too dull" she replied.

Some ignorance of the constitution
and the government was shown by
some of the candidates for citizenship

day. Joaquin de Souza Mosquito, whose
name caused a laugh when the clerk
read it. cheerfully told the court that
the constitution was red, white and

Scattering Holdings of Realty Syndicate Offered at
Unusually Low Prices in Order to Close Out All
Odd Lots in the Piedmont District-Great
Opportunity for Home Builders.

Judging from the prices being quoted
by The Realty Syndicate on lots in
Piedmont, this is undoubtedly the bar
gain season in the real estate business.
The Syndicate have two or three hum
dred scattering lots in Piedmont which
they are anxious to dispose of in order
to enable them to take up the sale of
some of their larger tracts
Many of these lots are located in
well built up neighborhoods; some of
them are lots which were turned back
to the company at the time of the fire
and earthquake. on account of the in
ability of buyers to complete their con-
tract; while others remain from former
tract sales For number of years no
attention has been paid to these lots.
and although Piedmont has in the
meantime built up very rapidly, the
Syndicate, busy with other things. have
made no effort to sell scattered lots.
Nov. however. they have concluded to
get them off their books and are quot
ing prices that certainly appeal to the
public.
We are not surprised at the way the
public are taking advantage of the
prices that we are quoting on lots in
Piedmont said Nat Nj. Crossley, man
ager of the real estate department of
The Realty Syndicate today. I'm fact.
we would be greatly surprised if we did
not sell them all. Everybody knows
Piedmont to be one of the most desir-
|able residential districts around the bay.

Stones DECLARE
ASSESSMENT HIGH
Board of Equalization Is Asked
for Cut in Figures of
S0l,zlO.50

OAKLAND, July 29.-Objections to
the assessment placed on their prop
erty by County Assessor Dalton were
the E. B. & A. l.. Stone company and
r. S. Knight, owners of large tracts of
valuable land near Elmhurst and San
Leandro. In all, the objectors declare.
Dalton has assessed their property s91.-
210.50 too much.
A. l.. Stone appeared as agent for
all the objectors in an affidavit as to
values that was filed today. Stone de-
clares that the property in question
should be assessed at $36,5S9.50, instead
of s127,S00,~ the figures fixed by the
assessor.
The property in controversy consists
largely of the tract known as Stone
hurst, of many acres, which was cut
up and offered for sale as building lots
recently. Dalton has assessed it on the
basis of residence property, while the
Stones say it should be assessed as ad-
joining farm land.
The burdens of taxation have been
fought consistently by Miss Stone and
the E. b. A. L. Stone company. The
Elmhurst sanitary district voted bonds
for sewer improvements last autumn,
and provided by increased taxation to
pay interest and principal on the bonds.
The Stone company and Miss Stone
questioned the proceedings in the
courts. The superior court of Alameda
county, sitting in bank decided in ia
vor of the legality of the bonds, but
an appeal to the supreme court was
taken which is still pending.
The objection to the county assessor S
figures will be considered by the board
of supervisors, sitting as a board of
equalization, at its next meeting.

OLD WOMAN FORCED
TO SLEEP ON STEPS
Invalid, Too Weak to Arise, Is
Discovered and Sent to
Hospital

OAKLAND, July 29.-Too weak TO
arise after she had sat down to rest
herself on the steps of the hall OF
records, aged Mrs. Maggie Carmichael
was forced to stay there all night. She
was found asleep this morning by a
newsboy, who had her removed to the
receiving hospital.
Mrs Carmichael said today that she
had no relatives alive and no friends.
She has no money, and in spite of many
infirmities and of her old age. went to
work domestic in East Oakland a
few days ago. She was on her way
back to the place where she works when
she was compelled to take a rest last
night. So stiff were her joints with
rheumatism and so tired was she that
she could not set to her feet again.
She called frequently for help, but her
feeble voice was not heard, and %
last she stretched herself out to slety.
Steward Platt of the receiving hos
pital sent her to the county infirmary
after giving her relief, and she will
probably be kept there at the expense OF
the county.
