Protection From Earthquakes.

The problem OF protecting against
earthquakes IN Italy Is discussed in a
recent memoir by Prof. G. Agamen-

from this cause are mainly due TO
faulty construction and bad location
OF buildings. II 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 a special ministry TO control
and systematize the work Of mitigat-
ing the results Of earthquakes. vol
