The Cost Of Earthquakes.
london Mlail.)

f
The annual loss of life in the world
occa stoned by earthquakes is. on the
av, I, about tllirty-flve hundred.
This number is fairly in accordance
with the numbers lost during the last
twelve months. On October 8, 1891,
Japan lost $3.50 of her people, or dol-
the number lost in her war with
China. The wounded numbered 1894
With a single earthquake in 1896 the
loss Of life in the same country ap-
preached 10000. If we turn to the loss
of property, after the earthquake of
1891 $30,000,oo0 was required for the
restoration of railways, roads, bridges,
and other public works. In addition 20
this 12S,750 houses, together with fac
tories, temples and other buildings, had
to be restored.
In 1897, after disastrous earthquake
In Assam, the chief Commissioners of
that country reported to the secretary
Of the government OF India, that their
own resources had been exhausted and,
with the object Of restoring various
public works, a grant from the imperial
revenues would be required to assist
his administration. The total damage
occasioned, much of which had to be
met by shareholders in railways, tea
factories, and other industries, was
roughly estimated at $25,000,000.
Speaking generally, large earthquake
In populated country often results in
damage to the extent of several mil
lions.
If it is asked whether these expen-
t1itures can be reduced, the answer is
distinctively in the affirmative. One of
the outcomes Of modern seismology ha 3
been to devise instruments which
measure earthquake motion. From a
knowledge of the actual nature of
earthquake motion derived from the
use of these instruments new rules and
formulate for the use of engineers and
builders have been established. In ia
pan and other countries these have
been extensively applied in the con-
struction of piers for bridges. tall
chimneys, walls, ordinary dwellings,.
entertainments, reservoirs, etc. mas
much as the new types Of structures
have withstood violent~earth shakings.
while ordinary types in the neighbor-
hood have failed, 1t can be confidently
sta ted that much has already been ac-
complished to minimize the loss Of life.

Not all the mahogany which we see
in use today exhibited as an heirloom
is the real antique it is said to be, for
heirlOon1s may be made to order, and
even furniture connoisseur will have
difficulty in detecting the difference,
Most people think of mahogany as Q,

comes a golden shade This darkens

of THO woods in general use, but Cir
cassian walnut is valued even higher.
Birdseye maple IS next, a costly mate
rial on account of the great difficulty
in treating Il. Its grain is perhaps the
most eccentric Of all the various styles.
and consequently its working up and
its lasting qualities are rather uncer-
tain. The differences in grain make
differences in its density and hence its
disposition to crack ard split. Vernts
Martin is n style which was a favorite
in the reign of Louis XIV, and its pop
ularity has not waned with the years.
It takes it's name from a famous fam
ily named Martin who were noted cab
inetmakers in Louis XV.'s reign. This
beautiful spattered gold dust decora-
ton, with it's paintings by Vatican, IS
the real Vernis Martin style, unchang-
ed today.
Oak is at the head Of the lists Of
woods which have varied finishes. Bog
oak is brown green shade. caused by
long immersion in peat or marsh boys.
Old English cak has rich brown
shade, supposed to be acquired by age
and the smoke from fireplaces. Both
these styles are. however, successfully
initiated by the manufacturers OF to-
day. Weathered oak and Flemish oak
are both popular finishes, the former
representing the color which rain and
sun and wind would cause on the oak,
and the latter is black, representing
the effect caused by centuries Of smoke
on oyerheated rafters. Antwerp oak IS
one of the dark finishes like the others
mentioned, but varnish and shellac are
used, SO that high polish Is the re-
suit.
