LEANING TOWER OF PISA IN
DANGER OF FALLING.
Investigation Shows That Massive
Structure Can Be Saved Only by
Immediate Action
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

fofelgn Correspondence Of The Star.
MILAN, July 10. 1910.
why is the Leaning Tower of Pisa
out OF the perpendicular" Because SC
constructed" is the wonted reply Now
however, an investigation by a royal
commission of experts has not only de-
molished this antique legend, but, more
over, has revealed the startling fact that
unless immediate measures are taken to
prevent 1t the celebrated campanile, with
its glorious eight-tiered structure Of mar
BILE coionades, wherefrom Calico made
his famous experiments on the law of
gravitation. is likely to follow the fate
Of st. Marks Campanile, in Venice.
'Our explorations" say the experts,
led to the wholly unforeseen and dis
tressing discovery that, instead of being
founded upon massive spacious base, as
was generally believed since Grassi, i'm
1881. and Rohault de Fleury, in 1850, pub
lished their collections of plans, the actu-
al foundation simply consists of ring
shaped masonry exactly corresponding in
girth to the huge cylindrical mass SUI
perfmpOsed thereon.
Proof Is Incontrovertible.
I'm fact, the diameter Of the inner ring
foundations Is Z meters and 40 centime-
ters, which Is precisely that of the space
inside the tower This discovery, taken
together with the further astonishing
fact that the foundations are merely 3
meters @ feet inches) beneath the
surface, constitutes henceforth incontro-
vertible proof that the campanile was
originally built perpendicularly, and that
Its leaning propensities, which are be-
coming more and more accentuated, are
due to other causes than the intention of
its constructors
In 1920 it was 4 meters 38S millimeters
out of vertical line, but during the last
eighty years the commission afhrms that
the tower leans an additional 5.5 MILL
meters for every meter of it's fifty-four
meters in altitude. The reasons given for
this dangerous state are principally that
the base of the tower has always been
immersed in water. and that a deep cis-
tern, dug quite near seventy years ago.
with the unsuccessful object of draining
a basin around the foot of the tower,
made matters worse.
The tower had already been considerably
weakened by earlier excavation for a
basin for mensuration purposes. Later,
in 1884, the severest shock Of earthquake
ever felt at Pisa left the leaning tower
some thirteen centimeters more out of
the straight. Another main source OF
responsibility is undoubtedly the oscilla-
ton from its magnificent peal of seven
bells.
