On the appointed evening I arrived
at the given time, and after an ex-
cellent dinner, at which all members
Of both families were present. we re-
paired to the great drawing room.
where the chairs had been arranged in
semicircle about two small, round
tables. Presently two grave old gen
tlemen, the family notaries, who had
not been seen to smile during the
whole dinner. took their seats In front
Of the tables, and when we were all
assembled the elder commenced to
read a long memoir. which he an.
nounced he had compiled with the help
of his colleague. Then, to my utter
amazement, he began to name all the
possessions Of the future bride and
bridegroom-so many bonds and mort
cages, so many houses. farms. wood
lands, prairles, articles of personal
adornment, furniture and jewels: the
ways In which they might be used or
disposed of, what would happen In
case no children were born of the
marriage, In case Of death Of one or
the other Of the parties. In fact, all

and saddest events, had been foreseen.

the early experiments in Great Britain.
Farseeing people realized that the new
institutions were destined to add large
ly to general prosperity and happiness.
This opinion was eloquently voiced by
the great Scotch critic Francis jeffrey.
who. writing in the Edinburgh Review.
said: 1T would be difficult. we fear.
to convince either the people or their
rulers that the spread Of savings
banks is of far more Importance and
far more likely to increase the happi-
ness and even the greatness Of the ma
ton than the most brilliant success of
its arms or the most stupendous i'm
provement Of its trade and its agricul-
ture. And yet we are persuaded that
it Is So
Laws safeguarding savings banks
were passed as these institutions began
to show vitality and clearly needed
regulation. Trustees and managers
were early prohibited from making any
profit in connection with these banks.
The English savings bank movement
rapidly spread throughout the con-
tinent. France. Germany. Denmark and
Italy successfully taking up the idea.

The first American savings bank was
opened in Philadelphia in 1916 and
was called the Philadelphia Saving
Fund society. The same year one was
established in Boston. New York, fol-

JAPAN'S PAGODAS.
They Arc Built to Resist the Shock Of
an Earthquake.

They Arc Built to Resist the Shock Of
an Earthquake.
A remarkable fact in Japan is that
pagodas built hundreds Of years ago
embody the principle Of the modern
seismograph, which is to minimize the
effect of earthquake motion by the
combination Of an inverted pendulum
with an ordinary pendulum, or. In
other words. by the union of stable
and an unstable structure to produce a
neutral stability. which renders the
whole building least sensible to earth
quake shock.
In the hollow well of every FIVE sto-
ried pagoda a heavy mass Of timber is
suspended freely, like an exaggerated
tongue. from the top right, to the
ground. but not in contact with 1t, and
at the shock Of an earthquake this
large pendulum slowly swings and the
structure sways and then settles back
safely upon its base:
This is also the principle followed In
the construction Of all bell towers
throughout Japan. where the bell acts
as pendulum. and the roof, supported
by posts. forms an inverted pendulum,
as in the seismograph. -
When an earthquake occurs pagoda
or a bell tower may be rotated or dis.
placed, but It cannot be overturned as
a whole.-Wide World Magazine.

Peelino 4 Snake.

1t Is difficult to skin dead snake,
and the skin is often spoiled in the
course Of the operation. while, on the
other hand, it is simple matter to
skin live snake, and the skin thus
gained Is worth much more. Dead
snakes bring from 2 to 5 cents, accord
Ing to their size, and live ones from
rs cents to 81. One of the largest
snake skin companies has factories In
Sumatra. When a snake is received
from a hunter it is seized adroitly by
an operator, one hand squeezing the
neck and the other holding the tail.
It Is then attached by the neck to the
trunk Of a palm tree, an assistant
holding it by the tail. With the point
Of a knife the operator cuts the skin
just below the head and. pulling with
all his strength. peels it from the
writhing reptile in the same way that

GERMAN RIVERS

Life and Property Loss Continue

Many Districts

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-Many cases of loss
of life continue to be reported from va
rious parts of Germany as result OF
the floods. The waters of the smaller
streams are now subsiding, but the
the Rhine and the Oder, still are ris-
ing. The lower sections of Frankfort
n-the-Main are flooded. A terrific
hurricane ragged in the Rhine valley
last night and demolished the Wies-
baden machinery hall and other build
ings in course of erection for an exhi-
bition this summer.
The heavy rains along the Rhine val
ley, however, ceased early this morning
and today the continents of the Rhine
are falling and the immense havoc
wrought in many towns is becoming
visible. Several villages are threatened
with partial destruction. The Elbe is
carrying down great masses of ice,
which have partly destroyed the scat
folding of the new bridge being erected
at Dresden. The Muldew, continent

PEKING. Feb. 6.-Chen Pi, president
of the board of communications, and
three under secretaries of the board
were dismissed today in disgrace.
Recent dispatches from Peking set
forth that Chen Pi had been impeached
on charges of corruption. The recent
failure of the board of communications
to float a domestic loan of $4,000, 900
for the purpose of paying the share
holders of the national telegraph sys-
tenn embarrassed the government seri-
ously and Chen Pi in December began
negotiations with British. French, Ger

money. The terms imposed were de-
ncribed as humiliating to the central
government.
Chen Pi is the second high official
to be dismissed from Office since the
death of the emperor and dowager en-
press of China last November. His
dismissal follows that of Yuan Shi Kai,
member of the grand council, by

for Constitutional Amend

a county superintendent ought TO

omcer. and the first step necessary to-
ward making him such is TO make IL
possible for him 10 secure the Office
and 10 hold 1T solely on the basis of

The whole country. rs all the other
school positions now are" declared
Prof. EllwoOd p. Cubberley, head OF
the department of education at stan
ford university yesterday noon at the
regular Saturday luncheon Of the
Commonwealth club, held at a local
cafe.
The subject under discussion was
that Of Improving County School Su-
pervision.' and Professor Cubberley
was the chief speaker. Thomas E.
Haven presided over the meeting
The. pertinence of the subject is due
10 the fact that pending before the
state legislature is a proposed amend
ment TO the state constitution Under
the present law the constitution pro
vides that in each county of the state
the superinten must be elected by
the qualified voters at the guberna-
torial election. That applies to the city
of san Francisco. as it is a city and
county. IL does not apply at present
10 cities like Oakland and Los Angeles,
but would apply 10 them if they be-
came consolidated into city and county
governments
Tie proposed amendment. which will
open a way for taking the superintend-
ency of schools out Of politics, reads as
follows:
Senate constitutional amendment 10. 35, sec
ton 3-The legislature shall provide by general
law qualifications and mode of election ap-
each county: provided. however. that in each
city and county ii shall be competent under any
charter or amendment thereto TO provide for the
qualities tons of the superintendent of schools
IN which the time at which. and the term for
which such superintendent shall be elected or
appointed.
Professor Cubberley declared that the
superintendent should be trained
man. appointed to Office by a qualified
body and not an Office seeker whose
chief qualification for the place would
be his ability to secure nomination
and election.
At the conclusion of the paper there
was a general discussion Of the meas
ure. which was unanimously approved
by the Commonwealth club.
Next Saturday the club viii discuss
