BUILDING MATERIALS FOR mESsIyA

At the last meeting IF the Society of Civil
Engineers in Paris the kinds of material and
methods of construction most desirable III the
restoration of Messlna were discussed. Testi-
mony was offered TO show that in Sicily, Chilli
and Japan stone structures have suffered more
from earthquakes than buildings having steel or
wooden frames The former have less elasticity
than the latter Reinforced concrete has also
given an excellent account Of itself One Of
the reservoirs which supplied Messna with
water, and which built Of concrete is said
10 have been uniniured by the great shock Of
last December though the pipes presumably
of other materlaD were so badly broken that
the contents of the reservoir were lost
Japan's experience with wooden houses how
ever emphasizes the obvious fact that they are
easily destroyed by fire. Thus is raised the
question whether even in a place like Mes
sina. the risk from that cause is not greater
than the danger from seismic disturbance If
such is the case, brick or concrete would seem
to be preferable 10 wood. Part Of the trouble
with stone was attributed by one of the speak
erS at the meeting of French civil engineers to
the great size OF the blocks employed Much
smaller ones, he said. would be less objection
able because the mortar would somewhat
deaden the shock. That line of argument
would certainly favor the use of brick which
as has been repeatedly demonstrated. is less
liable 10 injury from fire than marble or gran
ite.
1t becomes expedient TO inquire. therefore,
whether it is not feasible to combine protection
against both classes of peril in some one type
of building and, perhaps, secure the added
virtue of cheapness ut the same time. For the
majority Of small dwellings and for many
buildings devoted TO business the ideal mate
