BUILDING FOR EARTHQUAKES.

The volcanic eruptions in Java,
the earthquake in Ischia, and our
own tornadoes have probably caused
much more destruction of life and
property than they would have caused
if buildings had been specially
adapted to resist them. In Japan,
where shocks of earthquake are fire.
quent, it is not usual to dig founda-
tions for any building, no matter
how large and important it may be.
Rocks slightly rounded at the top
are placed where the four corners of
the house are to be. The corner
posts, also rounded at the end, rest
on these. The timbers are all
pinned together, not nailed, so as to
allow of considerable movement
without coming apart. In the CEN
trail portion of the building the tim
bers are particularly heavy, and act
as ballast. In high towers there are
sometimes huge beams swung from
the roof and reaching to within
foot of the ground, which prevent
the building from being overturned
either by earthquake or storm. The
Oldest building in Japan, the Trea-
sury at Naran, is built in this man
ner without the swinging beam, but
with a very heavy ballast in the
framework of the center of the floor.
A well-known artist is the inventor
of painting hut which is constructed
in part on the same principle. 1t
rests on stones at the corners, the
timbers are keyed together, and it
carries a heavy ballast under the
floor. 1t is, however in addition,
secured to the ground by rope and
anchors. This hut will outride a
gale in perfect safety. Probably it
would not withstand the force of a
tornado; but it will whirl through
the air without falling to pieces, and
would reach the ground right side
up. A larger, heavier structure of
the same sort might not be budged
even by tornado New York Sun.

THE MlCR0sC0PlSTS.
DISCOURSE on THE IRREGULARITIES OF
LEPRosY BY DIR. AIMING.

A largely attended meeting of the
San Francisco Microscopical Society
was held last evening, Mr.. Wickson
presiding. DR.. Hardness exhibited
various forms of animal and vegeta-
BILE life obtained at Mono Lake.
The motile form of bacterium rube-
seems attracted much attention, as
did also specimens of brine
shrimp. The "concentric" form of
microscope was exhibited by Mr..
Hirsch. The greater part of the
evening was spent in listening to a
discourse on some of the more espe-
cially microscopical features of lep-
rosy, by DR.. Edward II. Aiming,
who has recently arrived from Homo
lulu, where he has been studying
the disease for several years. DR..
Awnings remarks were listened to
with the closest attention. He eN-
planned the difference between the
bacilli of ordinary consumption and
the leprous bacilli, and related the
development and appearance of
several cases observed by him. He
asserted that there is no doubt of
leprosy existing in the system of
apparently healthy persons years
before it is noticed, and cited the
instance of boy who had suffered
from sore when about 8 years old,
after associating with lepers, but
this sore had disappeared after a
time and no further symptoms of
the disease were manifested for
seven years. DR.. Aiming remarked
that in his opinion the segregation
of persons who showed traces which
might or might not ultimately
develop into tubercular leprosy was
impossible. - S. f. Call, July Ia.

CORRECTIONS OF NOTIONS on DIET.

That there is any nutriment in
beef tea made from extracts. There
is none whatever.
That gelatine is nutritious. 1t
will not keep cat alive. Beef tea
and gelatine, however, possess
certain reparative power; we know
not what.
That an egg is equal to pound
of meat, and that every sick person
can eat them. Many, especially
those of nervous or bilious tempe
rament, cannot eat them, aud to
such eggs are injurious.
That because milk is an impor-
tant article of food, it must be
forced upon patient. Food that
a person cannot endure will not
cure.
That arrowroot is nutritious. 1t
is simply starch and water, useful
as restorative, quickly prepared.
That cheese is injurious in all
cases. 1t is, as a rule, contra-indi-
Gated, being usually indigestible;
but it is concentrated nutriment and
a waste-repairer, and often craved.
That the craving of patient are
whims and should be denied. The
stomach often needs, Graves for, and
digests articles not laid down in any
dietary. Such are, for example,
fruit, pickles, jam, cake, ham, or
bacon, with fat, cheese, butter and
milk.
That an infexible diet may he
marked out which shall apply to
every case. Choice of a given list
of articles allowable in given case
must be decided by the opinion of
the stomach. The stomach is right
and theory wrong, and the judgment
admits no appeal. A diet which
would keep healthy man healthy
, might kill sick man, and diet
sufficient to sustain a sick man
would not keep a well man alive.
Increased quantity of food especially
of liquids, does not mean increased

Whose Fault Il 1T

While Billy Murphy was running tie
stage from Bismarck direct to Williams
port. for two long years not one failure
did he make in delivering the RECORDS 8
bundle of ''ready.prints' on time. But,
under present arrangements, it seems i'm
possible to get the package when due.
For the first time since the paper was
founded, twice within the past month
have our ready prints failed to reach
Willlamsport in time to print the paper
on Its regular day Of issue. We are un-
able to state where the fault lies, but
can say that this laundering is exasper-
ating beyond measure. There are enough
unavoidable annoyances connected with
the publication of a newspaper IN town
days travel from the railroad, without
having anything added thereto through
carclessness. The bundle has always
come regularly TO Bismarck, care has
been taken at the stage-line Office to see
that it is promptly shipped, and why II
can't reach here on time is one Of those
things that surpasseth all human under
standing. O, good Mr.. Careless Man,
whoever you may be, please expedite
our patent innards' hereafter.
