PECULIAR tt ONE RIVER.

Tho st. l. wronco II the Only Stream
That II . No Floods.
The st. Lawrence is n phenomenon
among rivers. No other river is fed by
such gigantic lakes. No other. river is

spices alike rain, snow and sunshine:
fee and wind may be said to be the
only things that affect it's mighty flow.
Something almost as phenomenal ~
the st. Lawrence itself is the fact that
ther' is so little generally known about
it, ASSERT n writer IN the American
Angler. It might be safely affirmed
that not one per cent. of the American
public of the fact that, GmonG
all the great rivers of the world, the
st. Lawrence is the only absolutely
Goddess onc Such. however, is the
case. The difference between high and
'ow water in the Ohio at Cincinnati is
nearly fifty feet. Even the upper Mis-
SiSsippi, placid and smooth-flowing n
stream rs it is, sometimes overnows
the country for miles on either side of
it's banks. The turbulent Missouri is
also subject TO immense rises. Some
eight years ago it very nearly drowned
out the flourishing city of Council
Bluffs, and, had it risen three feet
moro, the magnificent iron bridge that
spans it and which connects Council
Bluffs with Omaha would have only
Spanncd n mud hole, and the vagabond
river would have carved out a new
channel for itself right through the
center Of Council Bluffs. Even the
mighty Amazon has it's rises and falls;
If it's southern and northern tributaries
should happen TO he low, or to be high
ut tho same time, it becomes seriously
affected. Every river, in fact, on this
continent, and all over the world, has
great ri"es and falls brought about by
tho clements, the st. Lawrence alone
excepted.

Earthquake PROOF.
a FOOtOV That Must He Considered In
Japanese Architecture.

Japanese Architecture.
In all countries where earthquakes
are of common occurrence the art of
constructing buildings in such a way as
10 resist the effect Of the shocks has
been studied, and, as always happens,
experience has proved the best teacher.
An extraordinary opportunity to com
pare the strength of buildings thus
made with others built after the ordin-
AIRY European fashion was furnished by
tao terrible earthquake in Japan.last
October, says the Youths Companion.
Prof. John Milne, one of the foremost
authorities o the subject of earth
qualtcs, has studied the effects of this
great shock, which destroyed over forty
thousand houses, and reports that lin
many places so-called foreign build
iags of brick and stone, undoubtedly
put mp in Che 1imsiest manner lie as
heaps of ruin between Japanese build
ings yet standing"
Some OF the Japanese castles and tenn
pies escaped, though situated within the
district where the shock was most de-
structivc. Prof. Milne attributes this
in II case of the castles to their pyra-
midal form and to the moats that sur
round them, n in the case OF the tenn
pies to the multiplicity Of joints be-
tween tae roof and the supporting col
umns, the effect of which was to pro-
duce a ''baslSet-like yielding" when the
temples were shaken by the earth
quake, thus preventing the breaking of
the walls.
In some of our western states where
~tornadoes occur n similar problem l.
presented. and so far no, method of con-
structing n house that will enable it to
resist the tornudo's fury has been in
vented, and the only alternative has
been to dig underground chambers near
the houses, into which families can 1ec
for safety.
Probably n japanese would consider
cnc of our tornadocs us a thing farElorc
70 be dreaded than the earthquake o.
his native country.
