Hundreds of blind devOtees chung around
the sacred tree and were killed or drowned
during the commotion. For these many
deaths there was but little mourning; how

was great grief throughout the land.
The sacred tree which had withstood
the cyclones which had rolled over the
island every year for twerty-one centuries
succumbed to this, the giant Of them all.
After a season of mourning, which was
participated in by the entire population Of
the island, the tree was cut into the lengths

Steel Houses Next.

A very favorable account is given in the
French papers of the new system of build
ing houses Of steel plates, introduced some
time ago by u. Danly, manager of the
Societe des FORCES de Chateleneau, and who
has set forth its various advantages in an
interesting and plausible manner, attract
ing considerable attention. II. Danly
has satisfactorily ascertained that cor
rugated sheets, of no more than a
millImeter in thickness, are sufficiently
strong for building houses several stories
high, and the material used allows of quite
q variety of architectural ornamentation.
The plates thus employed are Of the Fl est
quality, and, as they are galvanized after
they have been cut to the sizes and Shapes
required, no portion is left exposed to the
atmosphere. IL is asserted that houses con-
structed in this manner are very sanitary,
and that the necessary ventilating and heat
ing arrangements can be readily carried
