Fire.urOOf Ruildiuxs.

The Scientific american says:-The Chicago fire
has proved that sO-called fire-proof buildings
may retard the progress OF great fire, but can
not prevent its onward march, when once il has
gathered sufficient power in the destruction of
wooden buildings. The power of concentrated
heat upon stope bricks, and iron is little appre-
ciated by those who rely upon these materials
as security from burning. The writer was in
the city of Troy at the great fire of 1862, and
had an opportunity of witnessing the effect of fire
upon several supposed tre-proof buildings, which
stood in a direct line OF the advancing flames
The heat was blown upon these buildings with
almost the intensity OF a blast furnace. The
wrought iron shutters, which were depended
upon to protect the windows, curled up and
warped. exposing the glass beneath, which oon
broke or melted, or If supported by wooden
ssashes, was almost instantly dropped from the
the buildings. which soon Welded.
IL was noticed particularly that cast iron
actually seemed to burn, and we have little
ing OF the metal; the same effect being produced
as would be upon the bottoms of cast iron ket
ties placed over fire and containing hot sand.
Nearly every one knows that when cast iron is
raised to red heat, it speedily oxidizes or burns
The extensive use of this material is therefore
not the best practice in rendering buildings fire.
proof
In the Troy fire, it was seen that even the
supposed fireproof Iates burned in most ca e.
when they were not protected by masonry. At
the great fire at London Bridge, which took
place in the summer of 1861, the ready Welding
of cast-hOn columns, beams; and Orders wa1
specially noticed, and formed the subject of an
article in the London Reciew.
The fact is, that cast ironis no more to be de-
pended on than wood when standing amidst a
really great fire. Wrought iron does better, but
it too has important defects, among which is its
expapsibility under heat, which, when its used
in conjunc ton with masonry, cracks the latter
and thus commences the work Of destruction
In short, our present systems of firepioof.ng
need thorough revision and modification, in the
light of recent experience, before they can de-
ierye the confidence of the public.
