It it were on a turbulent ocean, early
today lett 4 he principal structure* of
the Channel city a muss uf debris and
ru;n-. The io?s of life was not large,
'due VQ the : reiuor'.s occurring at (?:-M
.o'clock, in the morning and also to
vlu fact that the mas* of ruins fell
i in the second earthquake some fif
teen minutes after the first tremor.
Kstimaies of the loss vary from
j $3, 000, 000, a "conservative" figure by
the city manager^ to $30,000,000, a
figure quoted by the city engineer.
Indications are that 12 lives were
lost, although this rests upon the re
covery of several bodies asserted to be
in the ruins.
Mrs. Charles R. Perkins, widow of
the late railroad wizard, former pres
ident <>f the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, was declared to be buried in
the ruins of a section of the Arjing*
j ton hotel. Manager A. L. Richmond
said that he did not have the slightest

being removed to uncover the body.
Manager Richmond also believed that
Bertram B. Hancock of Los Angeles
was killed, his room having been
above. Mrs. Perkins' and demolished.
State street! the main thoroughfare,
is a ghastly avenue of ruin, portions
of its most stately buildings being
tumbled down, and cornices, walls and
fronts of; practically all principal
structures shattered down.
The earthquakes continued through
out the day, They menaced the water
supply by crashing out the dam of
?Sheffield reservoir, but a bypass ha3
been established to a main reservoir
back iu the hills and water provided
for the city.
The terror stricken 30,000 inhabi
tants in most cases settled down to an
emergency existence by noon, many
of them living on the lawns.
"1 have been through 50 earth
quakes but never one like this be
fore," said Manager Richmond of the
Arlington hotel,. "It just took the
hotel that we considered strong as
a fortress and shook it back and forth
as if it were a rag.
"It was precisely as if on<? were at

to move with such foi'ce in so many
directions and apparently so limply
as did the Arlington. o
"The hotel is a total, loss."
Other stories of the motion of the
earthquake were similar.

In tin* ubsehce' of her lord the sultan.
The colonel had t?' present Hjj# govern

phobia that not merely played records,
hut inti'le- Ihem. lie was accompanied

Concerning the Bible
Most persons think that the Bible
was first written exactly as It appears
today. Hut such Is not the case. It
was originally one continuous piece of
lext, with no divisions of ?uy kind?- 1
no sections, no chapters, no verses,
no divisions of words even, or punctu
ation. Its division Into lines to suit
the sense was done by Kuthallus of
Alexandria In the last half of the Fifth
century. Its division into chapters is
ascribed to two archbishops, Lanfranc,
In the Kleventh century, and Langten,
In the Thirteenth cent ury, and a Cftrdl
nal, Hugo de Sancto Ca*o. about 1250.
Itabhl Nathan began the division of
the Blhle Into sections about 1445, and
another Hebrew, Athras, completed
tlie Work in 1661. An English printer,
Robert Stephens, Introduced the pres
ent division Into verses In 1551. '

V^nuM* Basket 1
Venus' basket Is a glass-silk sponge
which grows In the tropical seas of
the I'aelflc, from the Fujiyama region
to the Indian ocean. By the Japanese
It is called the mineral silk sponge,
and is used for its fiber, which Is
woven Into chemical fiber cloths, Into
fireproof candlesticks and into deli
cate fireproof curtains. In its natural
state the glass sponge is covered with
these long silky fibers which are used
in the arts referred to. A small tuft
of these fibers covers the. base.
The specimens are raked up from
the 9cean bed* and the framework,
which cannpt be separated Into fiber
for weaving, Is employed In the cov
erlng of-*t<.?ra -pipes and In cold-stor
age Insulation, where It has been
found equal to asbestos.
Soared Canqn of Egyptians
The Hermetic books was the name
given to the sacred canon of the an
cient Egyptians, consisting of 42
books, divided Into six sections. They
derive their name from their reputed
author, Hermes Trismegisttus, and are
an encyclopedia of theology, religion,
arts and sciences.
Their authorship and time of pro
duction are alike unknown, but they
are supposed to have been written^ by
Egyptian Neo-Platonists in tli? Fourth
century after Christ.
Jamblichus gives their number as
20.000 and Manetho as 36,f?2.r). Accord
ing to some of the ancients, Pytfiago
ras and Plato derived all their knowl
edge from these "Hermetic books,"
the Detroit News states.
Elephants Increasing
Laws to protect elephants in Africa
have apparently begun to accomplish
their purpose, for' the' animals are
again increasing In numbers. Only
a few years ago more than fiO.OOO ele- !
phants a year were slaughtered for!
their tusks and It was feared that
they would become as nearly extinct
In other parts of Africa as they are
In the region south of the Zambesi.
There Is no longer any Cape market
for ivory ; most of the Ivory trade
now centers in Mozambique. ? Youth's

Heifers Had to Swim
