JAPANESE PAG0DAS.
Enormous PenduIums Render These
Old Structures Earthquake Proof.

Enormous PenduIums Render These
Old Structures Earthquake Proof.
The only old structures In Japan
which seem to be earthquake PROOF are
the pagodas, which were erected Defore
the temples. There are m"Ay which
are 700 or 500 years old and as SOLD
as when first built.
There is a reason for this, and 1t lies
in their construction. A pagado Is
practically a framework Of heavy TIM
bers which starts from a wide oase
and is in Itself a substantial structure,
but rendered still more stable by q
neculiar device. Inside the framework
and suspended from the apex Is q
long heavy beam Of timber two feet
thick or more This hangs from one
end of the four sides. Four more heavy
timbers, and II the pagoda be very
lofty still more timbers, are added to
these. The whole forms an enormous
pendulum. which reaches within six
inches Of the ground
When the shock Of an earthquake
rocks the pagoda the pendulum swings
in unison and keeps the center OF grav'
Ity always at the base Of the frame
work. Consequently the equilibrium
of the pagoda is never disturbed, anc
this is the explanation of the grea'
age of many of them, when from theil
height one would suppose them to bt
peculiarly susceptible to the effects o.
the earthquake.
