work of putting new story on the
structure was undertaken. For it
means that there must be fireproof
windows from top to bottom, more
fire escapes, etc.
In order to avoid this expense, the
amendment proposed makes it neces-
sary for only the part of the building
improved, or the improvements them
selves, to conform to the ordinance.
The proposed amendment reads:
at shall be unlawful to enlarge,
build upon or remove any building
unless the repairs or alterations
made there shall conform to the pro-
visions of this ordinance" etc.
Section 13 at present reads:
ut shall be unlawful to enlarge,

unless at the completion of such work
the whole building and every part
thereof shall conform to the provi-
sions of this ordinance.
The members of the board are
doubtful of the ACCESSIBILITY of pass

by them that if they do SO the door
is opened for the Orientals to tack
on all kinds and descriptions of shacks

CLOSE TO NATURES HEART
Glory Of the Sierras Could Not Help
but Bring Inspiration to
the Poet.

It would be well for many of our
poets of American nature if thev
could be purged and strengthened in
Redwood canyon, writes Henry S.
CANDY in the Atlantic. For here one
cannot be content to pipe; one can
not blink the immensely of the world
or the scope and sweep of natures
plan. The work OF wind and water
and heat is clear; the great trees
grow by law where moisture lets
them; their seeds die in the slopes
which the swing of the earth or the
sun has made sterile for their kind.
In the placid home country of the
lowlands, or in the hacked and
brush-grown forests of the East, the
Imagination is easily dulled or frozen
by realizing that the cliff is only
worn calcium carbonate, and the tree
a compound hydrocarbon. Here one
comprehends without disillusion-
ment the immutable laws of matter.
Here the symbolic beauty of the
great trees carries the thought into
further speculation; drives it from
the petty sentimentality of the mere
nature enthusiast into serene
breadth. A French decadent would
write verse as noble as beautiful in
the Sierras if indeed he coald write
at all. A magazine poet of the un-
dergrowth would rise above senti-
ment and egoism. A scientist would
reach beyond facts into beauty, as ia
proved by the work of such pioneers
in these splendid mountains as John
Muir and the geologist Clarence
King.

TEST EXPLOSIONS OF DUST
certain Reasons for Tragedies
Occurring In Mines.

Some experiments to find out how
explosions act were recently under
taken in the gallery of mining ex-
perimental station. Coal Age de-
scribes them az follows:
The coal dust having been strewn
in the gallery and the cannons
charged, the ventilating fan was
started, both the doors in the fan
chamber being wide open so that no
air current was drawn through the
explosion tube. As soon as the speed
of the fan had attained that required
for the experiment these doors were
closed by card controlled from the
firing station, and the air current
was thus drawn through the open
end of the gallery. The doors when
closed completed an electric circuit,
which rang a bell in the firing sta
ton and started second clock. Six
seconds after the closing of the fan
doors the '"cloud-raiser" was fired,
and the "igniter" was fired two sec
onds later, the charges in both being
ignited by electricity.
The explosions as thus produced
can be regarded as taking place in a
tube open at one end and closed at
the other, for the right-angle bends
at the fan end of the gallery greatly
retarded the release of pressure and
had the general effect of closed end.

grim Who Tried to Sit Down

A certain affluent Bachelor hap
pened to be the only Grandson of a
rugged Early Settler who wore Coon
Skin Cap and drank Corn Juice out of

every Poor Man had Bacon in the
Smoke House, this Pioneer had been
soaked in Trade and found himself
loaded up with Swamp Subdivision
in the Edge of Town.
Fifty years later the City had
spread two miles beyond the Swamp
and Grandson was submerged beneath
so much Unearned Increment that he
began to speak with what sounded to
him like an English Accent and his
Shirts were ordered from Paris.
On the LIST of every Month the
Agents would crawl into the Presence
of the Grandson of the mighty Musk
rat Hunter and dump before him a
Wagonload of Paper Money which had
been snatched away from the strug-

Seen in the Cemetery

Take walk through the Gene
terry alone and you will see the
resting place of a man who blew
into the muzzle of a gun to see if
it was loaded. A little further
down the slope is crank who tried
to show how close he could stand
to moving train while it passed.
In strolling about you will see the
monument of the hired girl who
tried to start the fire with kerosene,
and a grass-covered knoll that
covers the boy who put the cob
under the mules tail. The tall
shaft over the man who blew out
the gas casts shadow over the
boy who tried to get on moving
train. Side by side the pretty
creature who always had her corset
laced on the last hole, and the
intelligent idiot who rode bicycle
nine miles in ten minutes, sleep
unmolested. At repose is doctor
who took dose of his own medi-
cine. There with top of shoe
box driven over his head is rich
old man who married young
wife. Away over there reposes a
boy who went fishing on Sunday,
and woman who kept strychnine
powders in the cupboard. The
man who stood in front of the
moving machine to oil the sickle
is quiet now and beside the careless
brakeman who fed himself to the
TO- ton engine may be seen the
grave of the man who tried to whip
the editor.
