The poorest family in Japan usual-
ly bas its own house. This implies a
great many houses in a city of steep-
les a million and a half of inhabitants,
and explains why Tokyo gives the
impression of being an immense and
rather mean-lookiug village—an im-
pression heightened by Lho fact that
the rieb do not usually display their
wealth by adorning the street side of
their bowies, but reserve for the in.
terior and back garden all the artis-
tic or floral adoriaments for which
they may have a taste.
The cheap appearance of most Jap-
anese houses is simply a consequence
of the frequent fires. Professor
Milne, in his hook on earthquakes,
says;
"In one winter I was a spectator
of three fires, each of which was said
to have destroyed more than ten
thousand houses"—in all about a tenth
of all the houses iu Tokyo. These
fires follow regular tracks likes cy-
clones.
.A. large part of the city's population
depends for its living upon the work
of building new houses and streets.
These persons, naturally, oppose all
efforts to improve the fire -extinguish-
ing service.
A. fire is apt to be made the occa-
sion of a picnic. The houses are soon
rebuilt ; and it often happens, we are
told, that a man's house is burned
down twice in one day, because, after
the rebuilding, the shifting wind
brings the flames back in that direc-
tion.
This stateneent is not so improbable
as it may seem at first sight, since
some of the Japanese keep in stock
the material for complete houses,
nicely fitted ancl finished., so that they
need only to be put together and
raised like tents.
