DESTRUCTION SAN FRANCIS00 I At The Jamestown Expoultion-Stu pendous Disaster To Be Shown in *Iniature. Charles Frederick Stansibury. 1 Norfolk, Va., May 17.-The de struction of San Franciseo by earth- u quake and fire is to be niade the sub- 1 jeCt of the most elaborate mechanical - spectacle ever devised which is to be : seen next year at the Jamestown Ter- I Centennial, near Norfolk, on the bor- t ders of Hampton Roads, Virginia. The t spectacle is to be oin the lines of the i Johnistown and flalveston Flood pro ductions. The New York man who a cointrols a large tract of space for aImuseent concessions at the James- I towin Ter-Centeinlial exposition next 1 year said: "Artists and photograph- t ers are already on their way to San t Francisco to get the material for I'e- 1 producing the disaster in miniature, t with fidelity of every detail. It is t probable that the spectacle will be t worked out under the direction of E. < J. Austin, the English artist, who 1 made successes of the Johnstown flood < at the Buffalo exposition and the Gal vesto.n flood at the St. Louis Wotid's I Fair, both of which are now at Coney f Island. From a showman's standpoint 1) the Frisco disaster offers great possi- i bilities and we are going to take ad- a vantage of them."1 The det4riction of (he great AMile ien city with tle miraculous escape f (of tlie bulk of its 400,090 inhabitants, oltclasses inl interest and dramatic effect mos.( of, tile grea: disaster.- il ( lie listory of tle world.

It is a well known to all physicians that when death is near its terrors do not 4 se6m to be felt by the patient. On i, les's the imagination is stimulated by D the frightful portrayal of the sup 0 posed ''pangs of death'' or of the - sufferings which some believe the 9 soul must endure after dissolution it 2 is rare indeed that the last days or 0 hours of life are passed in dread. Most sick persons are very, very - tired. Sleep-long, quiet sleep-is 3 what they want. I have seen many people die. I have never seen one who seemed to fear death, except when it - was or seemed to be rather far away. - Even those who are constanly haunted t while strong and well with a dread of r the end of life forget their fear when that end is at hand.
