tion.", much mifitil tie dono In ad
vasco of the next one. If the afora-
.alU human beings were, capable of
) learning from experience. Unfortu
' nately wn bit. not very docile. The
. highest practical authority oh the
subject declares that a great manv
of ibe carpenters, builders, con
tractor and architects, and- a con--slderablo
number of the engineers,
hro- learned very little from ob
.. serration of thoeo disasters.

Nineveh and Tyre, and In .Memphis
and Thebes and Lisbon.
5 . The Turks- tells us "experience Is
- hairbrush- that nature- hands us
. -after .we. have lost our- hair." In
regard to- construction, we shall
have moro hair; and It we consult
..experience- wo -can save some of It,
and-also save-our hides. Compara
., tlvcly stable construction is not dif
ficult to understand It is only dif
v flcnlt to d. And the main dlffl
'sulty ebout doing It consists In pay
, .'.lag ft very little- more- for timber
or steel and persuading the builder
te-pnl it In the right place.
... Light- and flexible' building of
limber' are- preferable to those of
. torick; . They., hare more elasticity
i or. power to: return to-form after
being deformed. But they need
bracing- acres - the upper angles
lurmra oy tne wall sand floors so
- that tinder. horisorrtali and diagonal
.strains to4 "angles wiir 'remain
fixed, loafing it to the vertical
timbers to, bend and come back.
ot-ceilings are valuable for this
reason,, when the cove members are
not - too light they form a con
tinuous brace 'and offer consider
able, resiatenca to contraction of the
angle. , In. the - basement, of the
ordinary wooden dwelling it is easy
t brace ; the posts in the npper
?"nglea- they; form with the sills.
,9ut 'that is only, in one direction.
. . TJ take the heads of braces running
, the ether direction,. plate-pieces
. . should be . spiked to the bottoms of
Jblats parallel, to the sills, and . 45
degree braces should bo spiked to
the posts and plate ploces.
It. would -be still better. If" bolts
were added. tn the. nailing.- A good
deal of damage to frame structures,
in .. San Francisco was ascribed to
rusted-out nailing where atudB
were toe-nnllcd to mudsills. For
some time after the earthauake
anybody that; naked for galvanised
hails was looked, on as mentally ln:
competent and referred to a shin
'chandlery. Today they arc more
common in hardware stores, sc,
thero has been some gain. They
cost so. little more than hare nails
tbat they ought to bo moro sennr-
ally used, especially where they are
to be exposed to dampness, t'nttlnr
thi-ouch sills to run nines can fin.
stray 95 per cent of the horizontal
strength needed again at earth
quake strain.
An earthauake not ouiv has
wave motion, but sires the land it
self a horiiontal movement. There
fore, braces risinr from the mudsill
are- less desirable than smaller and
higher ones, which would permit
the wall or the posts to bend. And
vertical bolts extending from foun
dation . walls through mudsills
would help hold the wooden walls
on the foundation.
Brick structures would be more
secure if the designers could be
persuaded to lcavo some unbrokeu
wall spaces at the sides and across
tne top. .Most brick buildings are
weakened by too many windows,
and when the shock comes the
spaces left between are shattered
diagonally.
Covering ' material for steel
frames is too often nteruly rested
en the. horizontal members. - floor
by floor. Not only should the
frames themselves bo well braced
at upper angles, but the brick or
concrete-used for curtaining should
be fastened on by reinforcing bars
That is seldom done, but pictures
from Santa Barbara show the need
of it.
There is no such thine as art nh.
solutely earthauake proof building.
We can, however, provide create r
stability than- we commonly do. We
must take' some chance we do it
every time we cross. a street but
there is no-sense' in taking too
much. The old negro' mammv was
wise that said-: -'T trusts- de Lawd,
