Abstract
THE destruction by fire of the Seismological Observatory and Library, at Tokio, Japan, has already been referred to in these columns (p. 533). The valuable work which Prof. Milne has accomplished during his long stay in Japan is well known to our readers; and it is to be hoped that means for its continuance will be fully provided. By the kindness of Japanese friends, Prof. Milne has been able to make observations in a temporary home since the fire, and it will not be for lack of enthusiasm and activity if a new observatory is not soon in working order. We print below extracts from Prof. Milne's optimistic account of the fire, and accompany it with a view of the Observatory buildings and house.
