ONCE A RIVER VALLEY
PROCE88 OF FORMATION OF BAY
OF 8AN FJTANCI8CO.
Not Always tha Magnificent Land.
locked Harbor That It la Today—
Report Made by the Geo*
logical 8urvey.
Few people 1n viewing tbe Day of
Ban Francisco think of It as other than
a magnificent land-locked harbor about
which has grown the commercial me-
tropolis of the Pacific coast of the
United States. Yet this harbor did not
always exist, according to a report on
the geology of the region recently pub-
lished by tho United States geological
survey, for at one time through the
depression now occupied by the bay
ran a great river that drained the Sao-
ramento and San Joaquin valleys.
This river probably flowed between
tho Tlburon peninsula and Angel
Island, and then through tbe gorge of
the Golden Gate, where at present the
greatest depth of water Is 400 feet.
After the river valley was formed the
coast slowly sank and tho ocean en-
tered through the Golden Gate, flooded
the valley, and formed the present
boy.
■ Thus the valley occupied by the bay
Is really not so very different from
Santa Clara and Santa Rosa valleys,
and should the Pacific coast sink a few
hundred feet lower, those fertile val-
leys would form great additions to the
present bay.
But the change from a river valley
to a bay happened very slowly, for
even great earthquakes as a rule do
not move large areas of the earth more
than a few Inches, and it is likely to be
thousands of years before the outlines
of the present bay are greatly changed
by nature.
The region Is particularly interest-
ing, for It Is one of the newest parts
of our continent. Some of the rocks
belong to the geologic period known as
the Jurassic, but many of them are
much younger and were laid down on
the floor by the ocean long afUr the
Appalachian mountains were formed.
Although these rocks are relatively
young, yet they aro hundreds of thou-
sands of years old and have been
raised out of the sea and tilted until
in places they stand nearly on end.
The forces which have raised these
rocks and have folded and broken
them are still active, yet their effects
are so gradually accomplished that for
the most part they aro inappreciable
In a generation or even in several cen-
turies. Sometimes, however, their ef-
fect is more apparent, as for Instance
when they cause earthquakes. Earth-
quakes are due to slight movements
along what geologists call "faults,"
which are really broken places in tbe
earth's crust where the rocks on one
side of the break or crack move past
those on the other side. Some of
these faults may be traced for miles—
not, of course, as open cracks, for to
anyone but a close observer the rocks
seem as unbroken in most places along
the fault lines as they do in any other
part of the region.
Most of these breaks are fortunately
old, and It is to be hoped that move-
ment along them has ceased, but two
are alive, and along one of these oc-
curred the movements that resulted
In the earthquake of April, 1906. Only
once in several generations aro seri-
ous earthquakes to be expected.

stroying tbe sale of calomel because it Is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it can not sali-
vate or make you sick.

bowels of that sour bile and constipated waste which
Is clogging your system and making you feel miserable.

To Moat Married Man tha Story Will

Ending. j
House cleaning, like tbe meaales, la
disagreeable, but It is a necessary
evil which It seems every domestic
organization must go through. And
the Comely household was no excep-
tion. In the course of spring renova-
tion, Mrs. Comely's attention waa
drawn to the proverbial old clothes
man.
"Got any old suits of your husband's
to sell?" inquired the O. C. M.
Oh, the voice of the tempter!
"Sure," replied Mrs. Comely, "bo's
got a closet full."
Whereupon the lady went upstaira
and dug up three suits of clothes, two
pair of shoes and two old hats, for
all of which O. C. M. segregated him-
self from six bits.
That night, of course, the housewlfa
told her husband what she had done,
for Mrs. Comely kept no secrets from
her husband—that Is, no secrets that
she thought he ought to know—and
she took him up to the clothes closet
to show him what she had disposed
of.
"Sure," remarked Mr. Comely. 'Tib
mighty glad you got rid of 'em. You
didn't sell a thing that I could us*
again."—Exchange.
Wireless Plant Held In Satchel.
A wireless outfit that weighs only
eight pounds, that can be carried in
a hand satchel and will send and re-
ceive messages up to 300 miles is
the invention of Dr. Otto F. Rheinhold
of Newark.
Tests made before officers of the
army and navy In New York proved
the miniature set efficient in every re-
spect. Without antennae the instru-
ment Is effective for 1,000 yards, and
thus Is expected to be of Invaluable
service In the trenches of Europe.
The details of Doctor Rheinhold's
miniature radio plant are secret. The
mechanism is Inclosed in a case meas-
uring five by eight by fourteen inches.
It can be operated with a single dry
battery.

curs this: "We give the name philos-

Bound to Wear Away Vitality in
Those Constantly at Work Amid
a Perpetual Whir.
A great many men and women who
work In busy factories, where there
is a perpetual whir of machinery, are
facing as great hardships as any work
can bring. Consciously or unconsci-
ously, the noise is wearing away their
vitality just as a grindstone wears
away tho steel of the blade that is
being" sharpened.
There is a certain regular rhythm
in all the simpler kinds of work. This
Is seen In the fact that most of them
have developed songs of their own.
Sailors have their "chanties," sol-
diers march to the beat of the drum;
spinning, weaving and farming labors
have Inspired songs and dances. Man
is in tune with nature, too, and while
the storm may produce awe It does
not f&tigue the brain.
The rhythm of machinery, however,
is altogether too fast for humau
rhythm, and the body never actually
becomes accustomed to It. No matter
what may be a man's natural pace, he
must follow the speed of a nonhuman
power, which, like a tireless demon,
drives him night and day. And, all
the while, the whir of the machinery
around him grates upon the brain un-
ceasingly.
Sometimes we think we have got
used to It.
Not so. We may have become
dulled, but that is a sign that some-
thing Is lost, some sensitive feeling
gone. It Is a sign of wearing out.
It Is the myriad voices of the over-
busy modern world's machines that
are doing more than anything else to
wreck our nerves.
