This , number can hardly bs conceived. Soma of tha statistical engineers have figured , out that these six blUloa bricks for ths : rebuilding of Baa Francisco would build a wall fiv feat Man around th world. i - This Incomprehensible number Is beoessary to restore tanhe blocks lt.000 buildings, ranging from ths tall skyscraper to the modest home. ... The ,. enalneers In estimating -whet is neoes ' aary to rebuild the city took to reach an approximate estimate a four-story brick v building, 44 feet wide and 110 feet deep, , aa - a standards Of oourse, there will be hundreds of greater brick building. 1 but there will also be a large number ; of smaller ones.' .- , v-''v '1. BUUom Bricks, '". 'v Using ths above standard as a basis ef caleulatlon there should be 11.00 i brick buildings. Now this standard . brick building would consume in its , walls 141.000 bricks. Therefore 11.000 such buildings (containing the standard , for ' the purpoaea of approximation) ' -would embrace In construction i.57, e'eoo.OOO bricks. By actual measurement the bricks manufactured in and around Ban Francisco are 7tt inches long.'.Then .(.SOO.OOO.OOO bricks are more than 4,000.- " 000,000 feet long, or 771,000 miles, or times around the world, with several thousand miles to spar. . . . -A brick weighs about five pounds and . (00 bricks make the usual hauling load. This is to show that Saa Francisco wll ' need 11.164,000 toads of bricks, . using . jf, 101,000 horsepower-in the hauling, with two horses to a team. . A team and .. cart ts about 15 feet long, so that with the noses of ths horses to the tail pieces of ths wsgons this vast cortege of brick carta would traverse 12,451 miles.., ' Oreealaad to Oape Bora. ' Such a line of wagons would extend from . Vladivostok .' to Paris along ' the trail of the Trans-Siberian railroad, ' with more than 1.000 milea- of team left over for winding off Into odd corners : of Europe; the brick train would atretoh out from Greenland to Cape Horn, and from New Tork to Caloutta,. Tla ths Paclfle ocean. .i: The capacity of the only brick plant i now operating tn Ban Tranclsoo Is 100, ' . 000 bricks a day.- Therefor it would take this plant 68.710 days to manufao- turea.lt ibe bricka that are needed;- that ta 18 years... . Now after getting the bricka to the building alts, comes the bod carrier. He can carry about I bricka, though ft is not the euslom of ths craft to romp up the ladder with such a number. -Take the limit of 10. however, and it would - demand the service of tlt.t00.000 hod- carriers te walk in-procession with all the bricks needed In the - rebuilding of Ran Franolsoo. Walking' slnale- file. " with five feet afloted to. each man, suoh a file of hod carrier would reach round the globe 14 times, or the entire army , could circle the earth's . midriff 14 ''abreast. v ; Not only is the brick question a ' great one. but there are other classes of construction. : GRANTS PASS TIMBERMAN iJAS TAME Vf.

A building 44x110 require a footing of about too yards of concrete, and a yard of the material weigh a ton and a third. A team of horses can haul about- two cubic yards of coacrete,. requiring 1,000, 000 teams te haul the 4,000.000 yards needed.
