The Prince and Princess of Wales have
done brave and gracious thing in making a
visit to Ireland, going freely among the peo-
pile and taking especial pains to investigate
the condition of the wretched poor in the
city Of Dublin. Their action has unmistaka-
bly, won upon the Irish heart, but there has
been real danger in it, as is shown by serious
riots which took place at Mallow and Cork,
and which were unmistakably instgated by
the Nationalist. At both these places mobs
of Nationslists gathered before the arrival of
the train bearing the royal party, and speech
es were made urging the Irish to rebel against
English rule. In each case it was necessary
for the police and military to interfere, and
many persons were injured. On Wednesday
night there was another riot in Cork Mis-
siles were thrown at the Princes carriage,
and lot of heads were punched or broken.

The fall of large block of tenement
houses in New York through the use of mud
mortar, coupled with other criminally bad
building methods, gives special interest to
current paragraph which says that visitors
to very old ruined buildings, such as are to
be frequently seen in European countries,
are often surprised to notice that broken
arches and walls, with seemingly inadequate
support, have withstood storm and tempest
for generations, Notwithstanding the dilapi-
dated condition in which some remote and
sudden disaster had left them. The secret of
the strength of such ruins lies in the fact
that the materials we're honestly put together,
and that the mortar was all that it should be.
And the art of making durable masonry or
brickwork is not yet TO be numbered among
the lost arts. In our own country II not sci.
dom happens that when an old house is in
course of being torn down brick walls dis
play resistance which might almost war
rant them being called brick beams.
