EARTHQUAKE PROTECTION.
How the Japanese Construct Their
paEodas So They VIII
Not Full.
creasing.

When the traveller in Japan looks at
some of the tall pagodas to be seen
there he naturally wonders why they
are not shaken to pieces by the earth
qualles which are so common in mika
do land. The only structures in Japan
which seem to be earthquake-proo
are the pagodas, which are erected
before the temples. There are many
which are 700 or 500 years old, and as
solid as when built. There is reason
for this, and it lies in their construc-
ton. A pagoda is practically a frame
work of heavy timbers which start
from wide base and is in itself
substantial structure, but is rendered
still more stable by peculiar device.
Inside the framework and suspend
ed from the apex is a long, heavy tim
Der two feet thick or more. This hangs
from one end, and to the other end are
bolted at each of the four sides four
more heavy timbers, and if the pa
CODA be very lofty still more timbers
are added The whole forms an enor-
nous pendulum, which reaches within
six inches of the ground. When the
shock of an earthquake rocks the pa
CODA the pendulum swings in unison
and keeps the center of gravity al
ways at the base of the framework
Consequently the equilibrium of the
pagoda is never disturbed, and this
is the explanation of the great age
of many of them, when from their
height one would suppose them to be
peculiarly susceptible TO the effects
of an earthquake

they Are Carried wherever Lanterns
Are Used All over the Civ
iliEed world.

American lanterns are exported to
all the countries of the world where
lanterns are used. Many are sent TO
South Africa and to South America,
to Australia and New Zealand, and
some are sold In Asia. Few, proper
tionately, are sent to Europe, says the
New York Sun.
Kerosene oil is now commonly
burned in lanterns all over the world.
There are no lanterns made nowadays
for candles only, but there are ex-
ported to South America some lanterns
made so that either candles or oil may
be burned in them. These are provided
with candle socket, which may be
set down in the oil reservoir, the wick
holder having been removed. BY re-
moving the candle socket and screw
ing in the wick holder the lantern
il made ready to burn oil. Excepting
railroad and other lanterns for spe-
cial uses, substantially all the lanterns
made nowadays are of the kind known
as tubular, first introduced about 30
years ago, and now made in various
notifications as to detail the tubular
part of the lantern being designed
with view to producing better COM
bustion and brighter light. The Ian
terms made for ordinary uses are pro-
duced in about 40 styles.
The American lanterns are the light
est, the sightliest in appearance and
the best adapted TO their use, and are
sold cheaper than lanterns of equal
quality produced elsewhere. There
are large establishments in this coun-
try making lanterns only. 1t is prob
able that more lanterns are now ex-
ported from this country than from
either England or Germany. and the
exports of American lanterns are in

ARTIFICIAL ALBUMEN.
There Is No One Who Believes That

Teal Food Questions.

The alleged discovery of the means
of producing albumen in a chemical
laboratory still sxcites widespread at
tention among chemists, physicians
and the general public. Prot. Lilien-
field declines to disclose his secret un-
til he is protected by patents. Mean
time the London Lancet says:
IF the synthesis of albumen has
actually been accomplished that alone
will be a fact Of immense Importance
in physiological chemistry. But that
such an achievement is going to revo-
lutionize practical food questions no
Psychologist or sensible man will be
prepared to accept in the slightest de-
gree IS probable.
Pure albumen is already manufae-
tured on large scale and fairly cheap
~, and though the manufacture has
been going on for years albumen pure
and simple has not found decided
place in dietetics, nor has it been pro-
posed 10 substitute it for ordinary
articles OF food.
1T is absurd to think that the time
will come when we shall carry about
n complete meal or dietetic outfit for
a day in the shape of thimbleful of
powder Animal economy requires
other things and attributes besides the
mere elements concerned in making
good the waste tissues in the body"

The London Quarterly Review
in a recent issue contained an ar
raignment of the Indian Govern
ment for its act in closing the mints
to the coinage Of silver. 1t gives
at length the habits and customs Of
the people of India, and the fond.
ness of the natives for silver trim
kets. These trinkets are usually
bought at high value and are laid
away for an emergency. In days
of famine and pestilence the jewels
are brought from cover, taken to
the mint and coined into rupees.
All this has changed. If native
has to secure funds he will have to
go into the open market and sell
his silver trlnkets at bullion value

The legislature will meet in Phe-
nix on the 10th and has much
important business to transact.
The abolishment of the territorial
board of equalization or the ex-
panding of its numbers to take in
the twelve chairman of boards of
supervisors is one of the things to
be desired. The repeal of the board
of control net we believe would add
unnecessary expense to the tax bur.
den of the territory. The board of
control is composed of three mem
bers. These three men fill the
place formerly held by five boards
OF three men each. By this ar
rangement matters are simplified
and an economical administration
of affairs assured.
