STRANGEST = | STRUCTURE IS DOOMED *Drunken House' of Foggia to Disappear After 82 Years FOGGIA, Italy, Feb. 7~The “drunken- ‘house of Foggla,” one of the world’s strangest bulldings, is to disappear in its 82d year as parf of & city beautification pro- gram. Eleven intoxicated youths erect- ed: the house in & single night. They mixed the cement for its main walls with wine. It wés built in 1850 to spite the proud governor of the region, Don Francesco Saverip. Figliolla, who was fond of gazing out over his jextensive wheat fields from the ‘windows of his mansion. One morn- ing he rTose to fifd the tllted, rose-tinted walls of the drunken house obstructing the view. The Story The story goes that Don Fran- ‘cisco was piqued because his neigh- bor, Tommona Antonio Bacci, the keeper of a wine house, refused to sell a pareel of land between the maision and the wheat fields Buoel; too. was irked and since ‘his’ -oellars were filled with bar- rels of rich red wine, He felt in a position: to- squandér the money for the/ spite house: Don. Prancesco. wariied the citi- zens @' Poggla against helping to constfuct. the building: But Gio- vanni ‘Raho; a. non-resident, vol- unteeréd with his 11 sons to put up the house between sunset and sunrise. ~ But when the youths started t stunt, they found the the Don Franceseco had placed guar at’ all the city wells, having water available for plaster. Bacei thought of the barrels wine in his cellars, In the mix- ing process, however, strong alc holic fumes were given off. T youths became intoxicated by halation. ’ Crazily " they tofled through ! pight, unable to build a stra | wall. But toil they did and {dawn the four master walls, thr stories high, rose-tinted from ! wine, reared themselves betwee : _the dfunken house was| faced .with white plaster, divided into rooms and adorned with iron-railed balcony.

But' naming his. book: was the least of Herr Wassermann's troubles. | The troubles chiefly had to (!o with the Victorian attitude. Stanley lived when reticence was a. cult; and polite concealment an art. He was a jeurnalist as the term was{¥ole: of a: none-too-strong sart of | understood then, and/ he worked fc* a- man who would have quali~ fiea' as & journalist in- any period —James Gordon Bennett. But Stanley never dared write whole facts, even for Bennett. In his three major African experiences | he must have learned much about ! the psychelogy, life, habits, and even the darker features of Afri- can life: generally. These he sub- ordinated to conform to the Grun- dy standard of the time, or omit- ted. And in so doing he left his own: image incomplete, and forced Herr Wassermann into realms of deduction and’ reconstruction. STANLEY IN AMERICA Besides Wassermann's creditable attempt to estimate Stanley's de- gree of sophistication and respon- siveness to the more obscure stim- uli, there is a matter of fact that makes the book especially interest- ing to Americans. It concerns the remarkably broad American experi- ence of Livingstone's “rescuer.” Stanley was born, of course, John [ Rowland, and lived a Dickensian life in_an English orphanage andj with Harsh relatives until des- perately he sailed as cabin. boy to New Orleanis, and deserted. There he mzt the' Stanleys, man and wife, | was boyishly - infatuated by the | wife, and:at her death was adopted by the husband. For a time: there | was peace for the orphan. | Then. the foster " father disap- peared from the.picture, ard’ Stan- |ley: began a long period of wander- ing up and down the United: States; serving in both the Uhion and Con~ | federate armies: in’the Civil War, doing . odd jobs in divers places, :and generally preparing himself: for 'a career as a journalist. The ex- ! tent. of Stanley’s indebtedness. to | this country usually is measured by his service to Bennettsiti actually is much greater. | e MYSTERY AND DOGS Philo, Vance has iain:low two ! years..
