, The report from Pisa that royal en-
lgineers state that the inclination of
the leaning tower at that place has in.
creased eight inches and that the
structure is likely to collapse will tend
TO further increase the number of
those who believe that the tower was
never intended to be a freak of ma
sonry, but that it became wonder by
the yielding of its foundation on one
side. As a drawing card" for tour
lists the famous leaning tower has had
value in addition to the historic con.
siderauons, and If it should fall there
would doubtless be a demand for its
reconstruction. A modern builder
could give Pisa a leaning tower of
greater inclination by using an an.
chored steel skeleton and clothing 1t
