b|6 OUTPUT

Conservative estimates place the
1905 placed gold output of Alaska at
$12,000,000, of which Fairbanks share
would be 100000. If these expecta-
tions develop into reality, II will mean
that the output will have increased
100000 over last years produce
ton.
The Fairbanks district has expert
cnced the largest growth over last
year, as the production in 1904 from
this camp did not exceed $1,000, 900,
but 1t is now the richest in all Alas
ka, even rivaling the Klondike in out
put. The immense strikes on the
Portland bench near Nome have
swelled the production in that dis
trict enormously over last year.

PAGOOAS.

Earthquake Proof and Able to stand
the everest shock.
The absence Of buildings of any size
and antiquity In japan Is ascribed to
the destruction Of them by the frequent
earthquakes which occur. The only
structures which seem to be earth
quake proof are the pagodas which are
erected before the temples. There are
many pagodas which are 700 or 800
years old and as solid as when first
built. There is a reason for this, and
1t lies In their construction. A pagoda
Is practically a framework Of heavy
timbers which starts from a wide base
and is in itself a substantial structure,
but 1t Is rendered still more stable by
a peculiar device. Inside the frame
work and suspended from the apex Is
a long, heavy balk Of timber 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 IL the pagoda be very
lofty still more timbers are added on
to these. The whole forms an enor-
nous pendulum which reaches to with
In six inches Of the ground. When the
shock Of an earthquake rocks the pago-
da the pendulum swings in unison and
keeps the center of gravity always at
the base Of the framework. Conse-
quently the equilibrium of the pagoda
is never disturbed, and this is the ex-
