REPAIRED BY EARTHQUAKE
For the first time on record an earthquake has repaired a building instead of wrecking it. The Victoria Museum in Ottawa had ‘‘settled” unequally, and serious cracks appeared in the walls. A recent earthquake solidified the foundations, shook the building together, closed the crocks, and now the building is as sound a.s ever. A similar earthquake at St. Paul’s would have saved at least a quarter of a million, much anxiety, and many men’s time, but economical earthquakes are rare. No even Pisa can organise such a miracle.
