EARTHQUAKE OR TYPHooN.
Houses In Manila Must BE Built TO Re-
sist one or the Other-ThOse of
bamboo Preferred.

The better houses differ in some
,vavs from any other in the world. Al
,yays of two stories, there is high
stone basement, with carriageway
through the court, where are the
quarters and domestic Of
fees. The upper story is of wood, be-
ing complete in itself, so that in case
of an earthquake Il will settle to-
gether. The ceilings are covered with
cloth instead of plaster. A wide stair
way leads up from the carriageway.
Between three and four feet above
the floor of this story is wide window
ledge with grooves running the whole
length of every side. In these grooves
slide blinds, and also frames in which
are set small squares of oyster shells
(called "conchas"). Both blinds and
conchas run the full length of each
side. Either or both can be slid back
to the width of one at each end, leav-
ing the whole side open, and allowing
the air to circulate as freely as in a
shed. The roofs were formerly made
of heavy curved tiles. Now galvanized
Iron is used, as il vastly decreases the
chance of the roof falling during an
earthquake, and lessons the damage If
it does On the other hand, the iron
roof is much more likely to be blown
off by the terrible typhoons.
The native houses arc built OF bam-
boo. with matched roofs made of the
leaf Of the 9ipa palm, and elevated
from six to ten feet on bamboo poles.
When one builds a house in Manila, il
is necessary to decide whether TO make

tile or iron roof may fall, killing and
destroying everything near it. But
when the typhoon comes, the nipa
houses go down by the hundred, while
