NEW AND STRIKING STYLES ALL CITY AND SLBJBN HOMES
GREAT VARIETY IN
RICHMOND DISTRICT
Burhngane Also Scene OF Fine Home Build
ing in Vicinity of Fashionable Show Places

For variety OF architecture and artis-
tic effect in home building the Rich
raond district is already noted. One of
the most distinctive new homes re-
cently built in this popular residential
section is that belonging to DR.. Ade-
laide Brown at Lake and Sixteenth ave-
nue. It is in mission style with rough
plaster walls In front is q garden
with fountain, lawn and flower beds
incIosed by high walls. Opening upon
this garden court is the large living
room. A peraola over which vines viii
be trained gives touch OF beauty to
the rather severe lines Of the building
At the rear is another pergola on the
second floor and beneath IS the garage.
The rear commands fine view OF the
Preside. The house was designed by
Henry Smith, architect.
An idea of the beautiful homes in
West Clay park is conveyed by an IL
lustration on this page. 1t is inter-
esting to note that while this house Is
IN West Clay park it was built several
wears before the idea of a marine view
residence park in this city was con-
ceived At the time this house was
constructed not only was West Clay
park uninproved, but there were no
paved streets and no sidewalks. There
was nothing TO warrant the oullolng
OF q fine home here except the wonder
full views that the site commands, the
sheltered climate which the ridge to
the west produces and faith in the fu-
ture extension Of the Presidio heights

scenic slope between Lake street and
the Preside wall.
But z. H Adams wanted a home in
this city. where he could enjoy all of
life that may be found in the country
and the had faith in the future. He
believed that San Francisco would
grow in accordance with the principles
that have determined the development

The building of the Grand Trunk

has awakened renewed interest in the
Pacific coast IN general and particu-
larly in the agricultural and mining

throughout eastern Canada and the
United States.
There will be large influx of pee-

manager of the North Coast land COM

will locate on ranches or engage in

II was surprised to notice on my re-
cent trip north and east that farm
lands in northern British Columbia,
especially along the route OF the
Crank Trunk Pacific railway are sell

until within the last eight months that
even the street work through this dis
trict was done.
About this time also work was fin
ished on West Clay park and the house

walton and the Golden gate straits
The house is of Spanish highland
type It is finished throughout in Sc
lected woods; it contains eight rooms,
with two baths and all the modern

The Urban realty company has done
much to popularize the Richmond
heights district between Ninth and
Eleventh avenues and from ANA to
Balboa streets, near the park. A new
community of model homes has grown
up there this year during the dullest
! period that has ever been known. So
well has Joseph A. Leonard, the veteran
architect and home builder, anticipated
the wants of families for something a
little out OF the ordinary that this COM
pany is able to sell its houses faster
than it can build them. A stroll
through this district reveals a wonder

English and French chateau styles
predominating.

Rv ]. ELLIS BARKER

I have much pleasure in acceding
to your request for a brief express
sion OF my views on San Francisco
7 have been here so short time that
can. Of course. give you only the
first impressions OF casual traveller
Still. first impressions are not with
ont value especially as it needs no
profound study TO see what wonderful
things your city has accomplished
In various parts OF the union through
which I have passed, I was told that
San Francisco was a depressing city
owing TO It's numerous ruins. 1 was
surprfsed in finding it a well laid ouf
happy looking and prosperous cF$&
with rnasnifcent streets and palarial
buildings in which only traces or your
great calamity are to be found. "A
traveller dropped into San Francisco
from the clouds would not even notice.
unless he came across the ruins of your
city hall, that the city was devastatse-
a few years ago. I have constantly
to remind myself that the city was
wiped out four years ago. Among all
the evidences OF American vitality, en-
ergy and constructive genius I have
seen. none has impressed me more than
the recreation Of San Francisco. which
has risen from the ashes greater and
grander city.
OF the larger American cities I have
visited have found San Francisco the
best planned. the best laid out, the
best paved and the best lighted. San
Francisco has In Golden Gate park the
most beautiful park I have seen so
far in the United States, and the roads
leading out OF the city are the best
made roads have seen in this country.
Your system OF water storage which
enables you to be independent or the
water mains in case Of another disaster
Is most admirable. Altogether, I think
San Francisco need not fear conpar1-
son with any Of the great eastern cit
les and they can learn much from you
have been greatly impressed BY
the excellence Of your drainage and
auxiliary water supply and the great
number and excellent appearance Of
your schools. All IN all. San Fran

BUILDING IN

The general healthy tone of the real
estate market has not centralized it
self to any one district in particular,
ard activity is reported in the Potr -ro

itself felt. especially in the purchasing
of small homes
To meet this demand, OSCAR Heyman

several cottages of four and five rooms
in Mississippi and<Twentieth streets.

A Birds Rarbed Wire Fences.

There may be seen along the road
sides in Central America a brown wren
about the size Of canary which builds
a nest out of all proportion to it's ap-
parent needs. 1t selects a small tree
with horizontal branches growing close
together. Across two of the branches
it lays sticks fastened together with
tough fiber until a platform about six
feet long by two feet wide has been
constructed. On the end of this plat
form nearest the tree trunk it then
builds huge, dome shaped nest foot

JUNGLE Housekeeping.

The negro housewife in the West
Indian jungle finds housekeeping very
easy. Fruit and vegetables grow Wild
all about the hut and the river abounds
with fish. On wash day all she has to
do is to pick few Of the berries of
the soap berry tree. take her clothes
to the river and use the berries as she
would use ordinary soap. Even her
cooking pots grow on the trees. the
calabash cut in halves being used for
this purpose. Calabashes are used
also for bowls, basins and jugs for
carrying water from the river. while
the small ones make excellent cups.
In the afternoon, when she is ready
for her cup of tea. the negress picks
half a dozen leaves from the lime bush
growing at her door, boils them.
squeeZes the juice from sugar cane
for sweetening and the cocoanut sup
plies the milk. Thus she has a deli
cious cup of tea without depending on
the grocer for it. She makes the mats
for her floor out of the dried leaves of
the banana. plated and sewed togeth-
er as the old country people in this
country make their rag mats.

Locomotives for Mines.

Storage battery locomotives are be-
ing used in certain mines of Germany.
These locomotives are considered less
dangerous than the ordinary electric
locomotive, for the reason that no
wiring is necessary in the mines, and
they can be incased completely to pre-
vent ignition of gases by means of a
chance spark The locomotives are
each provided with two sets of bat
teries, one of which is being charged
while the other is operating the TO-
comotiye The batteries are seldom
more than two-thirds discharged, so
that the recharging takes but short
time. In one type of locomotive of 20
horse power the batteries contain 80
cells, each with a capacity of Il am
pere hours. The storage battery To-
comotives range from to 80 horse

The town of Dunfermline is famous

the birthplace of DR.. Andrew Carne-

fame the town invited Mr.. Roosevelt
to pay it visit. Since the institution
by Mr.. Carnegie of the American and

States has become closer, inasmuch
as Mr.. Carnegie's birthplace has pro-

from which the awards are made.
