"MEANS MONEY TO YOU ALL" One Way San Francisco Had Of Boosting Fair Bonds As The Gazette is read this week, the election is over, and the will of the people will have been recorded at the ballot box. As we write, the result on the bonding and direct-tax propositions is not known to us, but the following letter bearing upon the fair tax, which arrived too late to admit reference to it in our last week's issue, is too rich to be wholly lost to view by taxpayers of this section. It is a peacherino, as boosting letters go, and we give it a place in our columns, even as the votes are now being counted, and the results as to the tax is, as we write, unknown: San Francisco, Nov. 1, 1910. "Editor Gazette.—Your letter on the bond amendment situation was received and I thank you for it. (We wrote no such letter.—Ed.) I don't believe that you realize what the Panama-Pacific exposition means to you personally or to the publishing business in general. I think every newspaper man in the state ought to be for the exposition, first, last and all the time, for the amount of business the fair is going to bring him. Chicago had $6,000,000 and one of the greatest world's fairs ever nown. San Francisco has $17,500,000 and before the fair is complete it will be a $50,000,000 affair. It is impossible to spend $50,000,000 without starting a lot of new business and the day congress says to San Francisco, "Go to it," will commence the biggest boom that has ever been known in this city. Money will be easy. Advertising will be plentiful and I am going to get my share, and every time I get a dollar you will get seven up and down the "draws." One of our number, although not a resident of that country and ignorant of the roads, was perfectly familiar with the customs of the people. "We will be coming across a house somewhere in here," he told us. "We'll find folks, all right enough, if we keep on." But they may not be willing to serve three hungry travelers," one of us said. He turned a look of simple wonder upon the speaker and made it reply. Presently a habitation lifted its low roof in the wilderness. Our leader was soon hallooing to the inmates, but he had no response. "The folks are out," said he, with no diminution of cheerfulness, though the rest of us were feeling afresh the pangs of hunger. The Western man drove to the barn, unhitched the team and put the horses in the stalls, giving them feed from the bag which we had carried with us, and then went to the house and calmly walked in. We followed with some timidity. “What are you going to do?” we asked. “Do?" said he, with ill-concealed irritation. "What should I do but get dinner?" In another man's house—and he absent." Well," said the western man with heat. "I guess he'd think we were about as near fools as they make 'em if we didn't feed ourselves if we were hungry. And, what's more, he would not thank us for going by his place under the circumstances. We're complimenting him, that's what we are." We said nothing more, but helped get the dinner. There were prune sauce, stewed, and a great loaf of gingerbread. We ate heartily, and, TORTURE Curious Instrumental In the Midst In an old tower lodge is a room set apart preservation of the moments of torture used certain period histories as the middle ages. In that room you screws of the most closely arranged arm with "liar helmets" gossiping women. Called the "spike cylinder on one side out two or more spikes. In days of fender had been seated a "rolling" he was firmly bound on arm. In this position they slowly dragged up the number of times the gravity of the sentence. In several instances were prodded so furiously before they came from the plank. Tended the number specified, but did beat red hot, well of the cylinder. To out capital punishment expeditious as this was equally certain. GIANT BUILDER Have a Wing Spider That of Man The largest butterfly larvae is found in Guinea, and special thing from $100 measures eight wings and the five eleven inches, a thing that of many. The story of this gigantic butterfly... greatest world's fairs ever nown. San Francisco has $17,500,000 and before the fair is complete it will be a $50,000,000 affair. It is impossible to spend $50,000,000 without starting a lot of new business and the day congress says to San Francisco, "Go to it," will commence the biggest boom that has ever been known in this city. Money will be easy. Advertising will be plentiful and I am going to get my share, and every time I get a dollar you will get seventy-five cents of it. So I think you ought to be out for the bonds as strong as you can. I am enclosing you a circular and I hope that you will run it and give it all the prominence you can. The future business that will be developed on the strength of the Panama Pacific exposition will pay you many times for the space you give to this. Send a marked copy of what you print to F. B. Lleyd, 7th floor, First National bank building, San Francisco. Yours very truly, E. M. Swasey." We are very sorry indeed to lose this "business," but we want none of it. If in order to get this "business" we must saddle an indebtedness of $67,000 upon the people of Orange county, we had rather not have it. But the calm assurance of Mr. Swasey is what gets to our collar. He acknowledges receipt of a letter from us, which we never wrote, and which doubtless he never received, and thanks us for it. Mr. Swasey's first letter asking for "confidential information" as to how Orange county stood upon the fair tax, went into the waste paper basket. Mr. Swasey seems to be a fresh young rooster, and his letter seems to have miscarried. He should have sent it to the Huntington Beach Penny Ante. SAMENESS OF RIVER NILE Golden Monotony of Light and Sound In Beautiful Land of the Paraohs Some people talk of the sameness of the Nile; and there is a lovely sameness of golden light, of delicious air, of people and of scenery. For Egypt is, after all, mainly a great river with strips on each side of cultivated land, flat, green, not very varied. River, green plains, yellow plain, pink, brown, steel gray or pale yellow mountains, wall of shadoof, wall of sakleh. Yes, I suppose there is a sameness, a sort of golden monotony, in this land pervaded with light and pervaded with sound. Always there is light around you, and you are bathing in., and nearby always, if you absent." "Well," said the western man with heat. "I guess he'd think we were about as near fools as they make 'em if we didn't feed ourselves if we were hungry. And, what's more, he would not thank us for going by his place under the circumstances. We're complimenting him, that's what we are." We said nothing more, but helped get the dinner. There were prune sauce, stewed, and a great loaf of gingerbread. We ate heartily, and so far as two of us were concerned, with a sense of excitement something like that which a burglar must feel. The excellent meal finished, our leader gave it as his opinion that we had better wash the dishes and not leave them for the women folk to do. We agreed, and with some awkwardness but excellent results put all the dishes, clean and dry, back in their right places. Our leader took a 50 cent piece out of his pocket and laid it on the table. "They'd be mighty mad if they knew who was leaving that," he remarked, "but as they're not likely to find out it can't do no hurt." A curious country, we thought, where the offense lies in paying for what one has taken and not in the taking of a thing uninvited. We learned afterward that our leader had not overstated the case. It was the custom for the hungry to fee themselves at any man's board and for the weary to rest on any man's bed. Not to have done so would have been to give affront to those who had the food and the bed. HOUSE VENTILATION Of all the subjects that I am forced to talk of to patients of mine, ventilation is the most conspicuous one owing to the many repetitions necessary. It is odd how divergent people's ideas of ventilation are and some of the queer things resorted to in order to avert drafts. Now a draft is a bad thing to be in, but true ventilation will not cause a draft. We all know that our forefathers lived in log cabins with large chimneys, and that the suction that these alone caused was enough to ventilate places twice or even ten times as large. Of course, we do not have to revert to the log cabin type of house nor do we have to have large chimneys to acquire perfect ventilation but nevertheless this reference is a good illustration for an object lesson. Hot air rises; cold air falls. That is the basic principle. Hot air headless." HOSPITALITY IN THE WEST We were in the sandhill country. Noon found us wandering, hungry and tired, among those pale yellow hillocks and chased by flocks of tumbleweed, which dried, globular-shaped an of the least possible weight, scurried We all know that our forebathers lived in log cabins with large chimneys, and that the suction that these alone caused was enough to ventilate places twice or even ten times as large. Of course, we do not have to revert to the log cabin type of house nor do we have to have large chimneys to acquire perfect ventilation but nevertheless this reference is a good illustration for an object lesson. Hot air rises; cold air falls. That is the basic principle. Hot air heating is known to be best because it circulates the air. But the air, where does it come from? From the interior. Now, no matter what we do we always have a dislike for cellar air haven't we? Hot air circulation can well be taken care of if we have a leader for the cold air from a near-by cellar window installed whereby the cold air may be brought from the outside, and thus we avert this objectionable feature of cold weather ventilation. Now, then, it will be an easy matter by having small frames made with muslin over them to fit perfectly on the inside of windows something on the order of screens. These can be placed at top and bottom (only a few inches wide will be sufficient), and thus the ventilating will be complete without fear of draft, because in this manner the air merely percolates through, stopping all gusts or breezes. Of course, we all know that if any changes are to be made in the hot air systems in our homes they should be taken care of during the mild weather, for when the chills of late autumn or the cold spells of winter are upon us we are very reluctant of having the furnace put out of commission so that the heater and range man can make the changes, if even for a day; so have all furnace matters attended to in summer time. TORTURE MACHINES. Curious Instruments That Were Used in the Middle Ages. In an old tower in Nuremburg there is a room set apart especially for the preservation of the curious instruments of torture used during the uncertain period historically referred to as the middle ages. In that room you can see thumb-screws of the most approved pattern closely arranged along shelves filled with "llar helmets" and "bridles" for gossiping women. One horrid relic, called the "spike wheel," is a heavy cylinder on one side of which stand out two or more score of sharp iron spikes. In days of old when an offender had been sentenced to undergo a "rolling" he was stripped naked and firmly bound on a plank, face down. In this position the "spike wheel" was slowly dragged up and down his back, the number of times depending upon the gravity of the crime and the wording of the sentence. In several instances the poor victims were prodded so full of holes that they died before they could be removed from the plank. When death was intended the number of "rolls" was not specified, but double length spikes, heated red hot, were put in the surface of the cylinder. This mode of carrying out capital punishment was hardly as expeditious as the guillotine, but it was equally certain. GIANT BUTTERFLIES. Have a Wing Spread Greater Than That of Many Small Birds. The largest butterfly known to naturalists is found only in British New Guinea, and specimens are worth anything from $100 upward. The male measures eight inches across the wings and the female not less than eleven inches, a wing spread exceeding that of many small birds. The story of the first discovery of this gigantic butterfly is a curious one. Lest You Forget Here Are a Few Vital Points to Remember Before You Buy any Automobile REMEMBER: THE NAME—E-M-F “30.” REMEMBER: THE PRICE—$1,000 f.o.b. Detroit, fully equipped with magneto, five lamps, acetylene generator and tube horn. REMEMBER: ‘THE GUARANTEE—For one year against breakage “from any cause whatsoever.” REMEMBER: THE RECORD—Over 18,000 E-M-F “30” cars today in hands of owners and every owner boosting—ask them. REMEMBER: THE SAVING—E-M-F “30” at $1,000 saves you $500 as compared with the same size and power and quality others ask $1,500 for; and $250 from price of “assembled cars” that list at $1,250 and cannot sell for less because of having to pay the extra parts makers’ profits. REMEMBER: That $250 difference pays $20 per month toward your rent; or it is savings bank interest on $6,250, while $500 that you save on a car of equal quality is interest on $12,500 for a year. REMEMBER: That the difference between price of E-M-F “30” and would-be competing cars at $1,250 will pay, twice over, your years' maintenance account—gasoline, oil, tires, repairs and an annual overhauling—twice over, no matter how hard you drive your E-M-F “30.” REMEMBER: That no other thirty or thirty-five horsepower car is made of such excellent materials, and is, therefore as light, therefore as economical in operation and maintenance. REMEMBER: That the E-M-F Company has over $7,000,000 invested in plants and that, not only is every part from the Pig Iron and the Raw Steel bars made in our own factories, but that every pound of steel or brass or other metal that enters into these cars is first made from our own formula, then analyzed to prove its quality, and finally tested to prove its efficiency. REMEMBER: That cars for which you must pay more are “assembled” product—that while their makers may prate loudly about quality they don’t know what material actually goes into their cars, but must take the word of others who are making the parts for profit and who have no interest in the ultimate user of the car. AND FINALLY REMEMBER the record of the E-M-F Company—never repudiated a guarantee or a promise, written, verbal or otherwise. Remember that when we guarantee our cars for a full year we know whereof we speak, for we have made every part and we know absolutely the strength and quality of every piece of steel in it.

The largest butterfly known to naturalists is found only in British New Guinea, and specimens are worth anything from $100 upward. The male measures eight inches across the wings and the female not less than eleven inches, a wing spread exceeding that of many small birds. The story of the first discovery of this gigantic butterfly is a curious one, says the Wide World Magazine. A naturalist saw a specimen perched on the top of a tree and, falling to capture it by any other means, finally shot it. From the fragments he decided that the species was entirely unknown to science, and be forthwith fitted out an expedition at a cost of many thousands of dollars to go in search of the magnificent insects. Two members of the party fell victims to the Papuan cannibals and another was rescued only in the nick of time. In spite of this inauspicious commencement to his enterprise, however, the naturalist persevered and ultimately succeeded in obtaining a number of perfect specimens. Origin of the Letter V. The letter V may be regarded as the mutilated remains of one of the symbols used by the ancient Egyptians in their hieroglyphics or picture writing. A common animal in their country was the two horned sand viper, a representation of which stood for V. The priests ultimately found that for the practical purposes of everyday life it was a waste of time to use elaborate hieroglyphics and invented a kind of shortband to meet the occasion. In this the snake was reduced to a V with a dash (V-) to represent horns and body. The Phoenicians adopted this letter, and from them we get our V by loss of the dash, leaving only the two little horns of the original picture. This snake is still common in Egypt and is probably the one mentioned in Genesis xlix. 17, "Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse beels, so that his rider shall fall backward." Travelers tell us that it is still addicted to this unpleasant habit. Wet Weather and Camels. Camels are very sensitive to moisture. In the region of tropical rains they are usually absent, and if they come into such with caravans the results of the rainy season are greatly feared. The great humidity of the air explains the absence of the camel from the northern slopes of the Atlas and from well wooded Abyssinia. This sensitiveness expresses itself in the character of different races. The finest, most noble looking camels, with short silk-like hair, are found in the Away back, when herds of buffalo grazed along the foothills of the western mountains, two hardy prospectors fell in with a bull bison that seemed to have been separated from his kind and run amuck. One of the propectors took to the branches of a tree and the other dived into a cave. The buffalo bellowed at the entrance to the cavern; then turned toward the tree. Out came the man from the cave, and the buffalo took after him again. The man made another dive for the hole. After this had been repeated several times, the man in the tree called to his comrade, who was trembling at the mouth of the cavern: "Stay in the cave, you idiot." "You don't know nothing about this hole," bawled the other. "There's a bear in it." "Wuz yew guarded in yore conduct while yew wuz in teown, son?" asked the old man.

The great humidity of the air explains the absence of the camel from the northern slopes of the Atlas and from well wooded Abyssinia. This sensitiveness expresses itself in the character of different races. The finest, most noble looking camels, with short silk-like hair, are found in the interior of deserts, as in the Taureg region in north Africa, and they cannot be used for journeys to moist regions. Even in Fezzan, south of Tripoli, the animals are shorter and fatter, with long coarse hair, and in Nile lands and on coasts it is the same. These animals, too, are less serviceable as regards speed and endurance. The Eyes of the Musk Ox. The skull of the bull musk ox is remarkable for the development of the eye orbits, which project sufficiently beyond the plane of the frontal bones to compensate for the interruption the horns would otherwise make in the range of vision. The musk ox, however, does not seem to rely greatly on keenness of sight, far less on acuteness of hearing, for the ears are of small dimensions and are completely covered by the heavy growth of fur about them. The organs of scent are evidently more highly developed, and they exact of the hunter his greatest cunning. Just Imaginal "Why don't they have women on juries?" she asked.
