Ex-Featherweight Champion Appeara.

An ex-featherweight champion of the Colony appeared in the person of Stoker Britt of H.M.8. Durban, who has recently arrived from England.

He was originally matched with Major, the local boxer, but as Majer was unable to appear, he met Stcker Geld, of H.M.S. Hermes, in an eight-round contest. Britt had the advantage of weight, the men weighing in a 139 and 192 lbs., whilst told had a distinct advan tage in the way of reach.

The effect of an earthquake, Dr. Willis continued, depends largely on the kind of material under the foundation walls. A building on solid rock is perfectly safe because the vibrations are so short and rapid that they only make the building, shiver. Good compact sand and gravel in a natural for mation is fairly safe but the effect of the shock is likely to wreck This event, was of a thrilling buildings.

It is a common idea that build- ings should be flexible to resist shocks, but unfortunately all of us do not live in bamboo shacks. We are obliged to build rigid struc- turen. That being the case, it should be the purpose of the architect in designing the building to brace it so rigidly that it will not be pashed out of shape by its own inertia when the ground moves. To accomplish this economically, every part of the building should do ita share.
