In either Of these events the inmates are or
dinariIy destined TO destruc ton by being
either crushed or precipitated 10 the earth,
and to fee from their houses is equally fatal
Ii place Of refuge could be made under
neath each house, in most Gases the family
would be able to reach it before it should be
stuck by the storm. fthere is cellar Of
stone or brick, few dollars would construct
in one corner OF il a room, consisting of the
cellar wall on two sides, aud stone or brick
on the other two, with a plank or timber

Ough to sustain the shock, if the latter were
to crash down upon it, Were the house to
De blown away, til room, if not too high
above the surface of the ground, would be
left uninjured. To make sure that such
would be the result, il would be well 10 have
the roof OF the room no higher than the
earth on the outside of the wall, or TO have
the earth banked up and sodded to the level
Of the roof. Is might be necessary also to
have the roof timbers strongly clamped, NOR
tised, or pinned TO the sides Still better
would it be 10 arch the roof over with brick
or stone It would be sufficient if the
height were such as to enable the family to
maintain sitting posture. When the house
is erected upon posts, without a brick or
stone cellar, the. difficulty of insuring the
"a fetv of the family wauId he somewhat
greater. IF an excavation existed or were
made beneath the house, place of refuge
might be made in it by setting strong posts
upright in the ground aud covering the in
closed space with timber or plank roof If
the excavation had been used for a cellar,
corner only or the whole of it might be for
tilted in the way stated, according to the size
and expense. This room also should be. so
low and so strong that were the house to be
blown away or blown down neither the posts
nor the roof would be uprootedor broken. 1t
might be desirable to provide 1t with
strong door opening outwards, and, if Of
brick or stone, with air holes to prevent zuf-
location Of its inmates. These preparations
suppose the house-owner able TO procure
posts or timber II this could not conven-
ieutly be done, place o! refuge might be
prepared bv digging hole under the house,
Or in its vicinity, like well, aud if possible,
covering it nearly over below the general
surface of the ground with split rails or logs
Of wood, or il some depth, leaving it open
altogether. If there were knoll in the
of the house, a small cave dug
in one side might furnish good protection.
Its efficiency would depend somewhat upon
the direction from which the storm should
come.

tary Council of the Mississippi Valley
TO Prevent the Introduction
OF CONTAGIOUS DISEASES INTO THE UNITED
sTATEs-THE RIVER INSPECTION SER
VICE STRONGLY ENDORSED.

CAIRo-The Sanitary Council of the
Mississippi Valley, appointed committee
to report in regard to river and railroad
inspection by the National Board of Health.
The committee recommended that in their
opinion it is proper for the Louisiana Board
of Health to ask, and the duty of the
National Board of Health to continue to
give aid in preventing the introduction of
yellow fever into the Mississippi Valley by
placing National BOARD of Health inspec-
tor at Port Eads to act with the State Board
of Health inspector to exclude infected
vessels from entering the Mississippi; also
that member of the National Board OF
Health should be stationed at the Missis-
sippi river quarantine station. The COM
mittee recommended that the National
Board of Health re-establish an inspecting
service on the Mississippi river during the
approaching summer; it was also
Resotued, That the National Board of
Health be requested to place on duty, at
New Orleans and other Southern ports, in
speetors to supervise shipments By river
and rail of all goods, merchandise and bag
gage, and to inspect persons when necessary.
Resolved, That in the judgment Of this
council such measures be taken BIZ the
national government as shall best and most
efectually prevent the introduction of cou-
tagious and infectious diseases into the
United States.
Res0iUed That the work of the National
Board of Health and its object meet the ap-
proFal of this council, who respectfully and
urgently request the Congress of the United
States to make the necessary appropriations
70 enable the National Board Of Health to
continue its works.
The council then elected as officers for the
ensuing year: President, Dr. g. Deveron,
of New Orleans; Vice-president, Dr. D. B.
Hilies, Of Iowa; Secretary and Treasurer,
Dr.. j. II. Ranch, Of Illinois.
