recaution is the godown.
The stranger lin Tokio or Yokohama
who sees from his rickshaw a strange
iron plated building with doors like turret
,l t:tiers and painted roof heavily lncrust-
rd with tiles is led to believe that here
perhaps is some feudal fort of the old
time, ready to house fighting men aga.nst
the attacks of a street mob. But vh'n
the tourist finds one of these black sh'se

learns from the country dweller that
(hese things are godowns or storehouses
for household goods.
When a fire gels well started 'n the
crowded blocks of dolls' houses in a Jae-
anese city it is rarely stopped until f 4 rn
len to fitly houses have been consumed
and a black scar has been drawn across
the whole few of the district. Because
th.. houses are so flimsy and crowded so
closely together that the Japanese fire-
men even at their best can do little with
a well developed blaze certain astute
citizens erect these iron sheathed and
shuttered two storied storehouses, where-
in the householders of the neighborhood
and the storekeepers of the district can
store away their valuables.
The godowns are so heavily sheathed
with iron plate and so weighted with
mud tiles that they rarely burn. All day

To these ptablic fireproof safes the
