BAD MORTAR FRIsco's FOE.
japanese Expert Charges Damage
to Poor Building.

Dishonest mOrtar-a corrupt conglom-
Grafton of sea sand and lime-was respon-
bic for nearly all of the earthquake dam
age in San Francisco" says DR.. L. Naka-
mura, professor of architecture of the
imperial university of Toxic and one OF
the most distinguished members OF the
committee dispatched to San Francisco
ty the japanese government to investi-
gate the effects of tremblor and fire. DIR.
Nakamura will sail on the Korea in
DAY or two to report his conclusions to
bis government. Il find," said DIR. Naka-
mura, that much of the damage to San
Francisco from the earthquake was due
to poor mortar and faulty construction
and the greater portion of the damage to
the class A buildings by fire was the re-
suit of misguided use of hollow thing and
so-called fire blocks instead of concrete.
There has developed as a result OF the
earthquake in San Francisco great pre-
!udice against brick buildings. They are
largely employed in Japan, where earth
quakes of greater severity than the one
experienced in this city are not uncom-
mon. The secret of their success lies
in the fact that good mortar is used. The
mortar should either be composed of one
Part cement to two parts of sand or one
part cement, three of lime, and five of
sand. The bricks should be thoroughly

point, it IL thought, there will be two

perhaps be another double lock, which

Commercial Event OF the Age.
BY dividing hemisphere, man will

cables. therefore, this work of cutting
through the Isthmus Of Panama will
prove, it is hardly too much to say,
the most important commercial event
Of the age.
The annual cost of operation will be
about $2.oo0.00O. but it is expected TO
yield a revenue in tolls of nearly S10.-
100000. The revenue producing func-
lions Of the canal will be minor as com
pared with its services in promoting
the Industrial and commercial prog

A popular error is that one ocean has
a higher level than the other. This is
wrong, but there is a difference Of
eighteen feet in the height to which
the tides rise on the two sides of the
isthmus. Hence, even if the canal were
made at sea level, guard locks would
have to b built at each end. 1t has
been proposed that there be five twin
locks of concrete masonry along the
canal route. Beginning at Colon har-
Dor, the canal will be excavated for
twenty-four miles through the marshy
