DISHONEST BUILDING.

Said to Be Responsible for Much of
the Damage at San Francisco.
San Francisco.zCal., June 19-"Dis-
honest mortar, a corrupt conglomera-
ton of sea sand and lime, was res
ponsible for nearly all the earthquake
damage in San Francisco" says DR..
T. Nakamur, professor of architec-
ture of the Imperial University of
Toxic, and one of the most distin-
guisned members of the committee
dispatched to this city by the Japan
ese government to investigate the eff
fects of the temblor and fires. He add
ed that there had developed a great
prejudice against brick in San Fran
cisco as a result of the earthquake
However he said brick was largely
employed in Japan, where earth
quakes of great severity are not un-
common. He said that he had found
it an easy matter to construct a bull
ding not only earthquake proof, but
practically fire proof. The secret. he
said, lies in the use of good mortar
Ii this is used with Cet bricks, the
wall becomes practically one stone.
