Thus the Mexican peons who live In one-story adobe hots suffer little from earthquakes as compared with their richer neighbors who live In more pretentious houses of stone. The earthquake shock re duces the sun-dried adobe to harmless powder, but it piles stone houses upon the heads of those who live in them. "Poor and content," says the poet, 'is rich and rich enough.' It Is probable, however, that the peon would be willing to ex change houses with the caballero even at the risk of earthquakes. It Is the disposition of mankind to set small value on those things, we have and to place a high estimate on these that we have not. A Four-Decker Sea Pie.
