         Nearly 515 blocks of San Francisco,including almost all Nob Hill,were  destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fires.Many of Sun Francisco's painted ladies"-its gaudy,nineteenth century Victorian houses-were lost in the disaster.Today,some 14.000 surviving houses have been preserved,particularly in the Cow Hollow,Mission,Pacific Heights,and Alamo Square districts.

        Distinguished by their design characteristics,three styless of San Franciscan Victorians can be found today.The Italianate,which flourished in the 1870s,is  characterized by flat roof,slim pillars flanking the front door,and bays with windows that slant inward.That ornamentation of these  narrow row houses was patterned after features of the Roman Classical styles.The stick style,which peaked in popularity during the 1880s,added ornate woodwork outlines to the doors and windows.Other additions included the French cap,gables,and three-sided bays.Designs changed dramatically when the Queen Anne style became the rage in the 1890s.Turrets,towers,steep gabled roofs,and glass art windows distinguished Queen Anne houses from their predecessors.

        In the period after the earthquake,,the Victorians came to be regarded as impossibly old fashioned,but beggining around 1960,owners began peeling off stucco,tearing off fake fronts,reaplying custom woodwork,and commissioning multi-hured paint jobs,Before long,many of three huses had been restored to their former splendor.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic ...

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for...

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived...
