"Oh, we're all done for, thinl'' said

The old gentleman looked over his
newspaper and said:
You are quite safe, gintlemen. Wait
till we get to tn next station"
As soon as the train pulled up the
little gentleman jumped out and came
back with. three first class tickets.

FIRES THAT ARE ASLEEP.
a Great Range Of Volcanoes In the
Heart of Africa.

a Great Range Of Volcanoes In the
Heart of Africa.
It is not very generally known that
right in the heart Of Africa at the
southern end of Lake Albert Edward
Is a great range Of volcanoes. They
are eight in number, and, though it is
true that, unlike Rukenzor. they carry
no permanent snow. the highest peak
Is over 1900 feet in height. These
volcanoes particularly interesting
on account of their comparative new
ness. Running through the middle of
Africa there is a trench many hundred
miles long, in which lie the great lakes
Albert, Albert Edward. Kivu and Tan
ganyika.
Not very many thousands of years
ago the volcanoes. generally called
Mfumbiro. burst up through the mid
die of this trench and made a dam
across it, with the result that some Of
the water which formerly flowed into
Lake Albert Edward and SO into the
Nile was cut off and a lake was form
ed behind the dam. As times went on
the waters in the lake which is now
called Kivu rose higher and higher
until, not being able to flow over the
barrier of the volcanoes. they formed
the Rusisi river, which runs the other
way into Tanganyika, about hundred
miles distant OF the eight volcanoes
only two show signs Of activity at the
present time in the form Of thin wisps
Of steam which may occasionally be
seen, but vast plain Of lava. with
wide black stream curling through its
midst, showed where formidable
eruption had taken place only two or
three years before our visit. There
are hot springs scattered here and
there, and we felt slight shocks of
earthquakes once or twice. so it is not
safe to say that the Mfumbiro volca-
noes are extinct. Wide World Maya

Joseph A. Leonard Shows That
San Francisco Is Place for
Building Homes

The Urban realty improvement COM

has just notified its stock holders that
its net earnings for the first years op-
erations are equal to II per cent per
annum on the amount paid on it's capi-
tai stock. without considering the adj
vanced value of its real estate. includ-
ing interest and taxes. Joseph A.
leonard, manager Of the company,
makes the following statement:
.sThe company is preparing to make
. bond ISSUE the security for the
bonds to be three to one. a t good
rate of interest. The denominations
will be such as will enable small in
pestors to get the maximum rate of
interest as safely as if they had large
sums to invest.
rrhe officers, directors and stock
holders Of the company are among our
best and most successful citizens. The
business in which II is engaged is one
OF the most 1audab bic enterprises and
seems also to be satisfactorily profit
able.
THE effort to supply home seekers
with good homes on easy terms at cash
prices, as is being done by this COM
pany. is OF the greatest Importance to
San Francisco and necessary in order
that businessmen may be induced to
reside in the city, Tending it all their

The hotel will be under the manage
ment of Otto Muller, one of the pro
prietors OF the Bismarck cafe Muller
and a number of other local men have
formed a corporation. which has taken
& lease of the building for 10 years
from the builders, M. ]. Savage and
members of the Prengle company, who
have incorporated themselves as the
Terminal investment company.
A notable feature Of this lease. IL that
it is based on the positive expectation
OF the Panama Pacific exposition being
held here in 1918.
The lease averages $4,000 year for
10 years. with privilege of extension
for 10 years more, making a total OF
$80O,000. 1t is on graduated scale,
reaching the highest amount during
the fair year, and declining after that.
and again rising TO the same figure
during the final years OF the tenure.
Manager Muller took the lease be-
cause Of his conviction that the ex-
position is a certainty. The success Of
Otto Muller and his brothers Fritz and
Charles in the management OF the
Bismarck since the fire has been phe-
nomenal. While other cafe proprietors
were hesitating about coming into the
downtown district the Muller brothers
showed their faith by going in on a
large scale and were amply rewarded.
Otto Muller will manage the new
hotel on his own account. He has had
extensive experience in the hotel and
restaurant business in exposition cities.
having been established at all the large
expositions In the last 10 years-at
Buffalo, Norfolk (Va-), Omaha, st.
Louis, Portland and Seattle. He ex-
presses the opinion that the Panama
Pacific will be the greatest and most
successful of all.
