-Snot earthquake proof but practically

iTthe eaithquake in San Francisco great
‘I prejudice against brick buildings.
However they are largely employed

tier severity than the one experienced
lin this citv are not uncommon. The
rsecret of their success however. Iles
'T in the fact that good mortar Is used.
!The mortar should either be composed
of one part ceniet to two parts ot
s.nnd or of one part cement three ot
lime and five of rand. The bricks
should be thoroughly wet before be-
ing laid and when the mortar has set
tinder these conditions a wall becomes
practical! one stone."
