The Cause Of Many Fires.
A great deal has been done in Chicago
in erecting what are called fire proof
buildings A building is called fire proof
when its walls are so constructed that
they will not ignite and will not conduct
heat to such an extent as to char or In
fame substances inside of them. A wall
that will stop the progress of flames Is
often spoken of as fire proof.
1t is noticeable that most buildings are
burned by fire started from the inside and
not from the outside. They may be.proof
against exterior, but they are not proof
against interior fires In fact, it is gener-
ally more difficult to extinguish fire In
one of them than in a building con-
structed of wood. Much money is spent
in constructing massive exterior walls
of stone or brick and in building parti-
lions of materials that cannot be burned.
The building, however. is filled with In
fammable substances. All the furniture,
and there is likely to be much of it, Is
made of materials that will readily burn.
The upholstery can be ignited by spark.
In the counting room will be several
desks of large size containing many draw
ers, each filled with papers. Newspapers,
books, and waste papers of various sorts
are allowed to accumulate in many of the
rooms. A fire started in any of them
would spread with great rapidity and
would be very difficult to extinguish. The
heat produced would be sufficient to set
fire to the wood that composed the floors,
doors, and wood in the partitions The
smoke would render it impossible to use
the apparatus employed in extinguishing
incipient fires. This apparatus, by the
way, few understand how to make use Of
when occasion requires.
Many persons who think that they are
careful keep coal oil. naphtha, benzine and
varnish in building containing an i'm
mense amount of valuable property. They
know that gallon Of either of these sub
stances would produce flames that would
Immediately spread and would be almost
impossible to extinguish. A can Of one
Of these substances is believed to be the
cause of recent disastrous fire on Wa
bash avenue. Similar substances cause
about half the fires in the business quar-
ter of the city. Vsrnish. benzine and the
various products Of coal oil are vastly
more dangerous In building than gun
powder. An explosion will shatter, but
flames will consume everything they
reach.-Chicsgo Times.

After Jan. 1. 1880 jail persons con-

in another. The various devices thus far
suggested have come from newspapers
and magazines, and each and every one Of
them are open to some objection
Dr. J Mount Bleyer, who was one ct
the commission appointed to report on
the best method of executing crini-
nails, gave the matter q good deal of
study, and deviseda method which he be-
lieves is perfect, but which Is really open
to the gravest objections. DR.. Bleyer's
plan is to place the condemned person in
a sort of hut, his bare feet resting on
metal floor which connects with one pole
of the battery. An electrede coming
through the roof of the hut and touching
the doomed persons head is connected
with the other pole, and so completes the
circuit Should the condemned person
twist his head 50 as to break the contact

circuit would be incomplete and life
would be prolonged as Long as he re-
