capee 81 Turks.
A Constantinoplc correspondent Of
tho New York Tribune says that IL will
probably never be known how many
persons were killed In that city by the
earthquake Of last summer. The Turk
ish government has chronic hatred Of
facts. and the newspapers were forbid
den to publish statistics of the earth
quake. What are believed 70 be mod
crate estimates place tho number Of
deaths at about one hundred and fifty,
and the number of tho wounded Mt
about six hundred.
The correspondent cannot help prnis-
ing the courage Of the fircmen stationed
on watch at the top Of tower more
than two hundred feet high. They
stuck to their post, although the tower
swayed like flagstaff, and when the
fires broke out after the overthrow of
dwellings. they gave the signals as
usual.
Another case Of similar sort was
that OF minaret builder who had gone
up to the top Of minarct TO remove a
conical cap which the first shocks had

other shock occurred, and there was
another panic in the streets.
His assistants. who were In one OF
the galleries OF the minaret, began to
run downstairs, and the mosque scrv-
ants below shouted to him To come
down, but he stayed where he was
IF this Is going to fall" he said, lit
will fall before can get out Of II, and
he proceeded with his work.
Many wonderful escapes occurred.
Two men were walking together. A
Turk met them, and, as Is not unusual
when Turk meets foreigners, he
pushed In between them, instead OF
turning TO one side, At that instant a
stone fell from the building above them,
and hit the Turk. who fell dead between
the two Mortified foreigners.
But the most marvellous escape was
that Of boy three years old. He was
running along the street Mt the base of
the city wall just as one of the ancient
towers was overthrown. When the
dust cleared away he was discovered
pinned TO the ground by great stones
lying on his skirts on each side OF him,
but himself quite unhurt.

The cool, calm resignation Of women

although we are apt to speak of the
writing or the making of a book,
rather than of its building each Of
these is u distinct operations: and whom
u book, first written, then made, is
finally ready. it has been built as truly
as a house or ship is built. 1t has de-
manded an equal amount of careful
planning, skilled labor, and close at
tention to the thousand details that go
to the making Of q completed whole"
With these words Kirk Munroe begins
an exceedingly interesting and valua-
BILE article on The Building of a Book"
in Harper's Round Table for August
9th. Himself a successful author OF
ale OF adventure, Mr.. Munroe is en-
abled by his own experience 20 speak
with confidence upon such topics as au-
thorship, the training that fits one for
the profession Of letters, the selection
OF a subject for a projected work, tho
preparation of the manuscript, and so
on to the moment when "tho precious
manuscript is put into a box and sent
on to u publisher" At that point in
the narration the fund Of Mr.. Munroe's
varied experience is still further drawn
upon, and we find hin examining the
newly arrived manuscript from the
publishers point of view. For the pur-
poses OF this article of course the book
is accepted, the questions Of royalty
and copy right and such matters are
adjusted and we arc led onward
through composing-room, press-room,
and bindery, with entertaining de-
scriptions of the mechanical processes
that precede publication.
Naturally, the most quotable por-
tions of the article are those relating
to the creative p~eriod-as where Mr..
Munroe says: $50 every one, except
those who know, imagines book-writ-
ing to be SO easy hat most of those
who desire to carr q livelihood without
very hard work try their hands at it.
The girls Of brains and education,
thrown upon her own de-
cides to become an author; and, after q
desperate struggle, fails because she
has no real experiences to draw from.
The sea-captain who is too old to follow
his chosen profession, but must still
make q living, and is brimful of exper-
fence and adventures, decides to be-
come an author. When he, too, meets
with failure, he blames everybody and
everything except himself, and rarely
discovers that the reason he cannot be-
come a successful author at his time Of
life is because he has not been trained
to the business, and does not know
how to write"
