Permanent Strengthening Needed :. In Leaning Pisa Tower Foundation
 To Keep Famous Shaft From Fall
Waterproof Basin Sug-
 gested and New Con-
 crete Underpinning - Priest Who Strengthened
 Tall Steeple May Assist.

Pisa, Italy, Jan. 24 (Pl-The lean- ing tower of Pisa. lodestone Of the American tourist who visits Italy. will soon receive extensive strength enlng at it's base in order to prevent Its leaning too far over and crashing.
 X meeting of the special commis- sion appointed by the minister of national education, including the best engineers in the kingdom, decided that two methods are to be pursued as a result Of findings made in the last several months.
 To Waterproof Basin
 One consists in making the basin from which the tower rises imper- meable, so that water cannot seep through and eat at the foundation of the tower. The second consists in the gradual consolidation and strengthening of the ground around and under the monument. This would be done with reenforced con- crete.
 At the same time. help has been suggested from another quarter. A priest, Father G. B. Piccardo. has suddenly obtained considerable ac- claim in Italy by strengthening leaning church towers. He accom- plished the feat of returning the tower of the parish church at Nor ancgo to vertical position, after engineers had said it was in danger Of falling and advised that it be dy- namited. This he did in two hours, with the assistance of a number of workmen. The tower was 120 feet high and weighed 700 tons. How he did it remains mystery. He told an interviewer he used ''only a little sand and nothing more" Now his name has been mentioned in con- nection with the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
 II Feet Out of Line
 The celebrated tower is at pres ent f feet out Of the perpendicular. Engineers say it leans because dur ing construction the ground on the south side fell. An inclination in the opposite direction from the third story up then followed. The tower is 179 feet high, has eight stories. siv Of which are surrounded by collon- nades, and was built between 1l74 and 1850.
 Two years ago engineers declared that the degree of inclination was increasing, and the tower was ill grave danger of falling. Experts then S aI T; s shooting cement into the earth un- der the tower. Now, however, more permanent measures are necessary.

Shanghai, China, Jan. 94 LP-De-
 sCriblnS queer supcrstitions and be- lief that made the medical history of China 2,00U years ago one of in-
 cantatiors and witchcraft, some of which still survive, Dr. K M. Wong, widely known Chinese physician, is confident that China will soon be western civilization,
 Two thousand years ago the Chi nese believed that malaria fever was caused by three devils. One stood by and poured a bucket Of water on the victim to give him chilIs., The second carried stove to cause fe-
 vers, while the third trottcd along with a hammer to produce q head ache.
 Neuralgia Another Devils Plot By the same reasoning. neuralgia vas caused by q devil with an iron any part of the body, causing the victim terrible agony. A pain in the abdomen was the work of q house
 god, who did nothing but go around and make people sick.
 There was only one efticacious way 10 subdue the wrath of this varied assortment of imps and that Was by spells, incantations and charms.
 Tt usually took some time to ap- pease d devil" Dr. Wong said, but i in the end, one either got well or died"
 Dr. Wong goes on to explain that this period of superstition, in Chinese medical history passed on to make way for a brighter era, which al though productive of primitive cures
 was far from effective.
 New Philosophy Spreads 'ln the next period. a new. phil osophy of disease began 10 spread, Dr. WonGsdeclares.
