ANYONE who has noticed the way in which the Chinese buildern scamp their work can hardly be surprised that housen collapse now and then. A few days ago we noticed the Chinese method of blocking up the holes left in the wall of a building for the scaffolding supposts to be put through. Instead of each hole having and Er two bricks neatly fitted into it, a jumble of odd scraps was thrown in xnd the holo covered by a dab of mortar. No wonder that walls crack and bulge and collapse when weak spots are left in them in this manner.
