Protection From EARTHQUAKES.

The problem Of protecting against
earthquakes in Italy is discussed in q
recent memoir by Prof. G. Agamen
none, who points out that disasters
from this cause are mainly due to
faulty construction and bad location
of buildings. 1t appears that after
the greater earthquakes of recent
times the authorities have formulated
rules to insure proper reconstruction
but these have been disregarded on
account of the expense entailed and
because the danger of another earth
quake seemed remote. The author
thinks the Italian government should
establish special ministry to control
and systematic the work of mitigat
ing the results of earthquakes, vol
canic eruptions, flood and other anal
ogous disasters, and should provide
state insurance against the losses due
to these agencies.-Scientiflc Ameri

Event In American History.

November "a, 1853, marked the
evacuation and destruction of Fort
Duquesne A short time previous to
this the British had initiated the WORK
of fortification The French, coming
down the Allegheny river from their
forts on and near Lake Erie, made
sudden descent on the small British
garrison, and the latter was forced 0
surrender Internationally. The French
and their Indian allies completed the
fertilization and called it Fort Du-
ouesne. A British force commanded
nv General Forbes was sent from the
east to retake the fertilization, and
doubtlessly would have succeeded
without the loss of man had 1t not
been for the impetuous Captain Grant.
The fort was blown up while the main
force was yet ten miles east of the
site of the future great city. They
heard a great explosion, saw volumes
of smoke, and realized at once that
the French and Indians had destroyed
the little fertilization and had taken
to the woods and the rivers.

When Wellington Was General.

The greatness of Wellington is never
more admiringly remembered than in
times of strife-and perhaps never
more usefully quoted The duke one
day wanted bridge constructed, and
the officer of the royal engineers whom
he consulted on the matter reported
that it could not be managed Another
officer was sent for, from another di-
vision of the army, with the result
that the task was duly accomplished.
This caused the duke to put the fol-
lowing in "Orders:" "He who in war
fails to do what he undertakes, may
always plead the accidents which in
variably attend military affairs; but
he who declares a thing to be impos-
sible, which is subsequently accom-
plished, registers his own incapacity."
Another wise saying" of Wellington
comes from another reader, and it is
appropriate to the moment He was
asked what was the best test of a
great general, and he answered.: ITO
know when to retreat; and to dare
to 20 it."-London Chronicle.

Just stop and think what $4,000
100000 means, writes Albert w. At
wood in the Saturday Evening Post.
The farms of the United States are
worth only $4,000 100000. The total
wealth of England is only about $780,
0OO,O00,0O0. Forty billions is approx
mately three times all the money in
the world. Yet every dollar has been
spent merely getting ready for a war
that good people really thought would
never come. 1t did come more swiftly,
suddenly and murderously than the
widest lingo had conceived possible,
and 1t is going to cost something, too.
Now,vyou can't raise $4,000, 900, 900
without going after it hard. A great
statesman, describing the tax collec-
tors of Europe to the French chamber
of deputies, said: "They have been

neighbors, servants, children they
keep account of dinners that are
given and the cigars that are offered

True, the income tax is only one

have to live on less than 50 a week and
