( Copyrighted 1893 , by Frank O. Cnrpenler )
I had my Orst eXIerlence with n. Japanese
lutllllunle. 'rhe great earthquake at Toklo
Iccurred during my , visit and I came within
)4 L slone- throw ef being killed In It. I had
eng wailed to be In an cuthqualte , just to
leo how It went , you know. My longing Is
IntlsOed , and I laugh nt earthquakes no
: onger Japan Is the land of earthquake
fhe country has at least five hundred shocks
ivory year , and there have been years when
the shoclls have reached lIS hhh as 3.000.
fho most of these ahocks'nre very slight and
I laughed at the terror which the people
ahowcd at the least vibration , and could not
andertlaud It. This big earthquake , however ,
t 'I Dpenod my oyes. It ruined thousands of
'c : hQuseD and klllelt many pcopio. It was one
of the greatest earthquakes that Toklo hM
\ ever bad It caused great fires
It cracked the earth , and It came near ruin-
Ing the American legation. This Is a large
frame structure , and Is surrounded by a big
e . .brick wall In the same compound IH the
house of the secretary of the leb"lltlon , Mr.
cp Ilerod The earthquake threw over the
f chlmno'H. It moved the walls so that they
loft their places and bent over liS though
f they woulll topple . It cracked the plastering
i nil over'tho house , and Il tent the china and
the brlc-a.brac fiylng. It was the same In
F t11' . lie roll's house , and In all of the foreign
buildings of the cIty , I wlmt through the
houses of Parliament. They were Oiled wish
mortar and debris , and hero ( was n hole
through thQ roof big enough for an elephant
1 to have passed down through without touching .
Ing the edges of the hole. The great club
j-- , , house of'oklo \ had a Porte cochero of stone
and within this a coachman was Hilling with
his horses at the time of the shock The
structure went down allll the horses were
killed Al the first e\'ldeneo of the shock
the drIver tried 10 whit the ilOl'lles onward
but they were paralyzed with terror allli re-
fused to 1II0\'e. At the Imperial hotel , where
I wall slopping / , the heavy chimneys came
' . . flying down through the root , allli one of
w thorn fell into the dining room Just after It
/ had been vacate
AItTIIQUAlm I AND TilE PALACES.
The shocks came at about 2:05 :
In the aHernoon. I had an appointment
with Mr. Tokloka , of his majeHty' imperial
household department , and I had gene Inside
the palace grounds , and was In this building
lit the time It was an old.fashlon Euro
111'011 building , built of stone and brick , and
badly constructed Mr Tokloka and myself f
r were talking together on the ! second floor ,
and ho was giving 11\0 the photograph of
0njuro. . which hB had gotten for me , wben
the willis began to move. The air was thick
and stilling , and I could feel the floor rise
and rail. At the same limo the halls were
filled with hundreds of running clerks and
Mr , Toleloka sprang to his feet and said :
"It ! Is all earthquake Let U8 run " And
we rail Wo went down two steps at a time ,
and Just got outside when nearly the halt or
the building went down Many were Injured ,
and one man was killed. Stones were throwli
hundreds or feet away from the building
Ouhlde the shock continued 'rho ground
rose and fell. Men rIding In jlnrlkllhas were
thrown over , and when I called the aallle
afternoon ( lit Count Ita' , who bas II lIuge
foreign residence not very far from the
American legation , I round that his house
had been badly Injured , and that his wife
was terribly prostrated by It.

X ' mIlAIJITANTS DON' ' NICE TflEb
I found hi discussing the earthquake that
those who bad been longest In Japan leared j
.a , . - , - y' '
the earthquake the most The face of onelt
man connected with the legation who had
been there for many year ! became as white
as chalk when the shock occurred , and
some of the older Japanese were prostrated
with terror. Those who know what all
earthqualte Is appreciate Its terrible possibilities
sibilities and during the remainder or my
stay In Japan I Trembled whenever a man I
walked across a floor over me , thinking that
there was going to be another earthquake ,
and wondering : whether I was to be swal-
lowed up In 1t. This earthquake affected the
railroads. It twisted the rails here and
there , and people on the trains HaitI that
It sounded as though two trains had come
Into collision. It ruined one large tea fac-
tory containing many girls , Who were killed I
In i the debris. It was a curIous earthquake - '
quake In that there were only two or three '
shocks , and In that It was confined almost
to the vicinity of Toklo. Many or the earth-
quakes have from nineteen to twel\ty shocks
following each othiec ; and there Is always
more than one shock. This earthquake
caused several big fires , and there Is never
an earthquake In Japan which docs not re-
ult In moro or less conflagraUon. The
houses are , you know , nearly all of wood ,
and coal all Is now used very largely for
lighting. Lamps are thrown over , and the
burning oil runs through time buildings
Thousands of houses are destroyed , and
the damage by fire Is often aH great ns that
by earthquakes.
TALKS ABOUT EARTHQUAKES.
I met during lilY stay In Japan the greatest
earthquake authority on the globe. This Is
Prof , John Mime of the Imperial College of
Engineering at Tolcto lie has made a great
study of earthquakes , and has Invented machines .
chines which show just how the earth 1II0ves
at such times and as to Its effect upon all
sorts of structures. According to him , It
makes a great difference liS to how the build-
Ings are built , and the Japanese are now
resting some of their foundations on rollers
and Iron shot so that they will move as
though they were placed on the ball.bearlngs
of n bicycle , when an earthquake occurs lie
suggests that the chimneys should be made
of sheet Iron instead of bricks , and people
living In earthquake countries should heave
heavy tables under which they can crawl In
case or a Hhock. They should have earthquake -
quake lamps , and In some parts of South
America ho says the people have earthquake
coats , whch ! lie beside their beds , and In
which they can skip out Into the open air
with semI kind or protection at the slightest
warning The ordinary Japanese house ! Is of
wood , and Instead of having laths and plasler
It Is lined Inside and out with a wattle.work
of bamboo , and this Is plastered over with
mud It Is moro like a basket limn a house ,
and It Is much safer than brick and atone ,

Still the damage . that Is done by earth
quakes In Japan Is terrible. All through , e
Japanese history you will find records of \11.
lager being swallowed ( up , and of thousand
or men being killed , I have a list or Jap
anese earthquakes before me Almost the
whole or the city of Toklo was destroyed
between two amt . \ three centuries ago , and
at this time It Is said that 200,000 1'(01'10
lost their lI\'es. At other times 1II0unlains
fell and lakes took their places The last
great earthquake that Toklo had was In
1855. There were eighty shocks fell within
a month , and the city was one blaze l.f firs
One hundred and four thousand pcol'e ' : IIro
said to have perished , and 14.000 houses were
reduced to matchwood , The earthquake
In which I was was by no means sa serious ,
Still It was net to , be sneered at , and lilY
own Japanese servant came to me In ! treat
trouble , saying than his house had gone down ,
and that his wife and boy had been Injured ,
TILE DIG EARTIIQUAKE [ AT OWl
One of the biggest earthquakes that Japll1
has ever had occurred about three years ago
I lead II number of friends who were In It ,
and It wu horrible beyond descrlptioe2
Thousands of buildings went down , and
thousands of leOllle were killed. The rail
road was twisted as though It had been made
of sticks of halr.melled tarry. Great factories -
flea were thrown to the ground. Some of
tbo moan rlllllOUS pOllerles of the cQuntry
were destroyed. Temples were burn ] .
The embankmentlJ of rivers fell In , and about
200 Duddhlst temples were reduced to ruins
This occurred near the great city of Nagoya ,
and ! It affected buildings In KOD" One nnn
whom know wu time I"rench teacher In a
school In Nagoya lily bOWie fell down , aad
his wire and himself had to flee In Ihl lr
night clothes They lost everything : lnd
.
1 this earthquake 250,000 people were ren-
dered homeless and a vast amount of prop-
erty was destroyed. The horrors of the earth
quake cannot be deserlboo. People were cut
all 10 Pieces by the ruins .The earth hair
swallowed some. Great cracks and fissures
existed everywl\ere , and the eJrth was seamed
and wrInkled and torn.
Donluro the famous Japanese actor , Is as
celebrated there as Henry Irving Is ! In Eng- I
land. Ill' Is the Edwin Dooth' or Japan and I
ho owns the biggest theater of the empire
It Is known as the Kabuklza theater , and It
will scat 3,000 people. It hM n. stock com
pany , I venture , as large as that of any
theater In New York and Its nightly receipts -
ceipts often run Into thousands of dollars
Well , this man Donjuro donated the receipts
or his theater for one entlm week for the
benefit of the Red Cross hospital and nil
or his actors threw In their aervlces They
played from 10 In the morning until about
10 o'clock ' at night , and the house was
packed. I had a box In the second gallery ,
which cost mo $7 , and there were at least
$5,000 ; In the house the day I attended Suppose -
pose one of our greatest , actors should donate -
nate the aervlces of himself and his troup to
the He,1 Cross for a week , and you get some

JAPAN'S moo EST TlIEATEIt.
It takes a big hcuse to scat 3,000 people
'Ve have only one or two theaters that large
In the United States and we have none like
that of Donjuro's. It has no cheeiira and the
people sit on the floor In little square pens
about four feet wide. There Is usually a
little box of charcoal In the middle or each
pen for the lighting of the pipes , and there
Is no objection to smOltlng. There is I : an Im _
mense pit and two galleries , and the walls
In the summer are open , and it Is more like
an open-air concert hall than a theater. The
stage Is made In the shape of an Immense
wheel. which Is turned by man power at the
change cf the scenes , and which moves one
set or actors behind the scenes and brings
another before you , The supes' come In during
the play to Ox the clothes of the actors , They
are dressed ( In black , and you are not sup-
posed to see deem Right through one side
of the house there Is 11 board walll of the
height of the stage , about five feet wide ,
which forms a part of ilea stage , and Home
of the actors will atop off and ! come down
on this walk above the audience and play
their parts there The acting Is different
from ours , but It Is strong In some respects
There are no better fencers In the world , and
these people have remarkable power of facial
expression Time Japanese appreciate good
acting. They roar with laughter over the
comedies and a strong piece of tragic acting
' brings shouts of applause , aced the people
tear Qrr parIs of their clothing and heron
them Into the stage expecting to redeem L
them with presents or money at the end or f
the play. There are no ticket omces , anti ,
you get your tickets at the tea houses near
by , Ladles bring c their One clothes to the tea
houses semetlmes and hut them on there
before they go In , and many order lunches
sent In to them and eat during the acting .
The playa begin In Iho morning and lat until
night 'rho shoes are all left outside In the
hall , and on going In you pass by three or
four thousand wooden clogs which are
marked with checks The Japanese wOlcn I
go bareheaded , and hence they have not the
trouble about theater hats that wo heave 'In
America ,
JAPAN'S GREATEST ACTOR .
I attended the theater In company with t
Mr. S. I. Tokloka , who Is connected with the
household department of the palace , and with t
him made a call on the ramous Donjuro'J It
was between time acts that wo made our
way down under the stage , and on through
wheel after wheel until wo came Into the
dressing rooms. In some of these there were
attars bal naked taking their sleets , . In
others they were making for
up time next act ,
and wo bad gone through abut twenty , I I
Judge when we came Into a little den looking
out on a beautiful garden I was a rom
about twelve feet square and was carpel ed
with meta , Tine walla were filled with clos .
eta , and there were swords and different coso
tumea lying about In the middle of the
room , lying on his elbow on the floor , ruse n
long , thin , Halow.faced man : , with as refine
features as I heave ever seen. 10 had bright t
eyes . a very hIgh forehead , large cars , al .
mend e(6 and a feel long face. ] 11 dress
wal ties soul or simplicity , I consisted of a
blue cotton kimono , which was open almost t
to the waist , and It was about as near 10th.
Ing a possible , This was the great actor
I 1)onjuro ifs rose to lets knees a wo en-
feted aud bowed gracefully .n . J\vauCsl aryl e ,
Wo got down on our knees and bowed our
head to Uln floor , and then sat on the floor
and chatted for a time about Japanese art
and acting . Mr. C. 'D Weldon the well
known American artist , was ' with me and lee
and Ionjuro had quite : 'a ' discussion over art
topics , alI the great actor was surprised to
find how well the art 'or Japan had become
known to our famous altsts , and especially
to Mr. Weldon , who Is perhaps the best
postedforeigner on the 'art of Japan In the
world today. Donjuro Is an artist l well as
an actor , and ho make me think of Joe Jefi
ferson In hIs many accomplishments. He
Is a man of the highest culture : He stands
well In Japanese literature , and Io writes
poetry. He made some remarks as to the
difference between the Japanese and the
American stage , declaring In favor of the
former , and he said that he was really sorry
that lIe could tot accept \ the generals otter
which he had to come to America and act at
Chicago during' the World's fair. He afterward -
ward sent fine his photograph writing his
autograph below I , and I round that there
war just as much demand for the pictures
of actors In Japan as In America , and that
the people had ( their favorites .
DEIND TiE SCENES
LeavIng Donjuro I made a call on Shlnzo
San who is ! one of Donjuro's favorite pupils ,
and who Is , perhaps the brightest of the
younger Japanese comedians le received
lS In his dressing room. He had to go on
the stage within a few moments , and he mad
up for his part while ho chatted . his gown
was pulled down to his waist , and Io was absolutely -
solutely naked OH to the upper part of his
hotly lie squatted ere his knees before a lUG
UG glass on the floor , painting and patching
and turning himself from the modern Jap
anese gentleman into a brIdegroom of the
olden hate. lie had his servants to help
him , but ho did the most or the work himself -
self In the most artistic way , painting his
arms and his eyes and his neck , ali patch-
Ing up his head so that , ho looked like an old
Dalmlo. Ho finally put on a gorgeous suIt
of light blue slllt , and stood before us as the
hero of the dual marriage , or , as It might
bo called , of the play' which Is known In
Japan as "The Knight , or the One Pantaloon. "
As ho stood there I happened to remark that
I wished that I could have a picture ot Iskn
Whereupon he replied : "Why don't you lake
It' There Is my camera " I loolted ( , and I
saw one of the finest of modern cameras ,
with tripod and all conveniences. le dl-
rected his servant to put It up for us . and
Mr. Weldon tool the picture while he posed.
