At 11. hours 58 Mieutas 44 seconds, a rum- bling sound was heard ns from a distance, followed immediately by a sharp, vertical earthquake «hock, which lifted up the ground and teen dropped it. A11 this happened In a few seconds as the Japanese housewives were preparing the midday mealon the little charcoal fire, or Mhoeh), as it is known. wh Ieh proei(' ,. 11,E 1'"^es of cooking In every Japanese house. Then the earth started to settee clown again, and more than 1,300 eheelrs were recorded in the next three weeks. The Fates were, however, against Japan. Scattered by the violemrte of the first shock, the burning charcoal of the hibachi set fire to many of the houses. Then the winds rose arrt spread the flames. Yokohama, the great city that had arisen 003 of the insignificant little fishing village of Commodore Perry's day, was razed to the ground, Three-quarter, of 'ro- kio, a city of over 2,000.000 people, disappeared too. In the great Yeshiwara, or licens- ed quarter, of Tokio, 2,000 girls who had taken refuge from the heat of the flames in the orn:llnent111 10110 of the walled quarter, were boiled to death. A thriving trade was done later in photographs, of the ghastly sight. But tragedy had its culminating point on the vacant ground of the Mllitary Clothing Dej)ot at Honks), Tokio, where 34.000 people, carrying the most cherished of their 110000 - ]told goods, sought to escape from the heat of their burning homes. A.11 but 200 were roasted to death, And the Japanese people: What was their attitod.e in the face of dis- aster? They shrugged their shoul- ders. "It can't be helped," they arid, in the words of a famous Japanese phrase. At a great memorial service at Ilmajo, I watched thousands of them pay their respects to the bones and ashes of their dead, collected at the depot. There was no weeping; Japanese do not weep In public, Aly reeella'c- tion is of endloes lines of strained,' but dry-eyed, •people efferitl': little sweetmeats for their departed and 3)3yh1g prayers at the tluddhiet and Shinto shrines, After' the earthquake, Yokohama was neglected,- But the Japanese set out tel build an even greater Tokio, a modern city on the most. up-to-date American lines. Viucolntt Coto, the Home .1110151er, radiated enthusiasm as ho told lee of his great pains. Party politics late -1r entered into the matter, and part of his plan was abandoned, Noture has been unkind to the Japanese in placing them In the mast unstable melee of the earth. So, after every disaster, they must g0 on saying: "Shagata ganal"—"lt can't be helped," Gigantic Teeth bound. Much interest was created a few months ago by the news of the dis- covery of the remains of monstrous animals in the State of Sonora in Mexico. These remains have now been examined. Ono was the tooth, of an alosaurus, an animal in sonic , respects like a crocodile, but of co- lossal size.
