WASHING White Paint.

When your white paint is yellow
and dirty, don't wash with soap: take
a handful OF common whiting and stir
smooth in about a pint Of water; then
wipe all around with this. You will
need a bowl of clean water and cloth
with which to wipe all around again.
When treated in this way paint will
be really white, not yellow, and places
that have been marked badly will

Crevices in Streets.

Dangerous holes and trenches were
opened in the streets, from which
rose a cloud of dust and debris.
Several thrilling tales were told by
survivors. At Yodokawa the house of
a wealthy resident caught fire and the
family of seventeen people, as well
as two visitors, were burned alive.
The two-storied house of Santaro
Sato at Arahamura was razed to the
ground. His family of five and three
others were asleep on the first floor
with four guests upstairs. When the
building was falling the men upstairs
managed to crawl from the debris and
began to search for those below. Five
were taken out injured, but three 9th
ers, the master of the house, his son
and a servant, were found dead.
Faithful to the memory of the en-
peror one of the first acts of the
mayor of KOwakubi, which was wiped
cut by the disaster, was to rush to
the hilltop and recover the imperial
flag floating on a shrine that had been
dedicated to the late emperor Mutsu-
hitO.

The earthquake came at dawn. The
motion was horizontal at first, but af-
ter twenty seconds turned into a
violent perpendicular movement,
greatly increasing in velocity until it
broke the seismographs. The upward
movement, which is particularly fear
ed in Japan caused hundreds of
houses to collapse and scores of peo-
pie were crushed to death, having no
time to escape. The affrighted people
who succeeded in getting out, rushed
to the railroad in an attempt to es-
cape from the earthquake belt, but
found the rails blocked with stones
and earth.
