Wood More Fireproof Than Iron.


In his recent lecture on fire proven
ton Professor Goodman states that
generally speaking, wooden joists are
better for buildings than steel or iron
joists. The two latter materials, he ex
planned, lose their strength at a not
very high temperature, whereas wood
would sustain heavy strain for much
longer period when exposed to great
heat. Besides when wood has once
been charred it does not burn SO readily
again.
Iron and steel soon expand under the
influence of heat. Brick and stone are
Objectionable; the former become fused
under great heat, and the latter is liable
to crack or fly when suddenly cooled
after heating. The drawback to tiles
is that when fire plays upon the joists
of floors fitted with them the joists ex-
pand and allow the fire to play upon
the joists through the tiles. Portland
cement is Objectionable, as it flakes off
when heated, but If wire netting or
bars are imbedded in concrete this de-
feet is remedied.
A joist padded with silicate of cotton
and incased in salamander plaster "a
mixture of silicate, cotton and plaster
of paris), the professor holds, is splen-
did fireproofng material Such ma
terial is not only nonconductor, but
it is elastic and would yield with the
joist. In an experiment undertaken by
Professor Goodman it was found that a
joist of this kind withstood very fierce
heat for eight to nine hours without
sustaining any serious damage. -

SEVEN YEARS AND DIVORCE.
Chicago Lawyers idea, which VIII
He Regarded as Original.

A Chicago Lawyers idea, which win
he Regarded as Original.
The Chicago attorney of a scientific
turn of mind who evolved the idea of
what is known as the seven year amend
ment to the divorce law, may or may
not have simpli6ed one of the greatest
social problems. An absolute conclu-
sion in this regard will be impossible
until the amendment becomes an act
and the practical workings of the new
statute have been tested by more or
less intelligent and impatient commu-
nifty. It may not be generally under
stood that the suggested legislation Is
imperative as a deduction from consid-
GRAFTON of what is known of the con-
stant change occurring in particles of
the human body
Each individual is made up of atoms,
and each day some of these atoms are
cast off to be replaced by others from
the food we eat, the water we drink
and even the air we breathe. Miss
Jones, though perhaps quite as charm
ing as she was week ago, is not en-
tirely the same person, nor is Mr.. Smith
the same young man he was. Each
has lost portion of the body and each
has gained an equivalent.
There is the same general contour as
before, but there is a slight difference
in material. In course of time this
change will be complete. Every recent
atom of Miss Jones or Mr.. Smith will
have gone out into the great world and
new atoms will have taken their re-
spective places. Miss Jones and Mr..
Smith will be new people.
The consensus of learned opinion is
that the body changes entirely once in
every seven years. Now, suppose Mr..
Smith and Miss Jones to wed. Mr..
Smith has sworn to cherish the lady
who has just become his wife, not some
other woman, and, vice versa, Mrs.
Smith, nee Jones, has made pledges of
equal solemnity and import to love
none other than the man beside her.
For time it is all right, that is, rela-
lively so, but at the end of year only
six-sevenths of the present Mrs. Smith
remain, while Mr. Smith has suffered
an equal variation.
At the end of seven years Mrs. Smith
is not the same woman Smith married,
nor is he the same man whom she prom
ised to cleave to. There is not particle,
not one jot or little, remaining about
either of the couple who were married.
Clearly their relationship is scandalous,
and something should be done about it.
To remedy the evil the amendment to
the divorce law makes a separation at
the end of seven years permissible if
not mandatory.
Of course it is claimed by the oppo-
nents of the proposed legislation that
neither Mrs. Smith nor Mr.. Smith can
properly be deemed unfaithful, since
neither longer exists, and the argument,
it must be admitted, has it's force. But,
admitting the assumption, who are the
two people at present living together
under the name of Smith, and what ex-
cuse have they for the relations now
existing1 Should not they either sepa-
rate or marry without delay2-Chicago
Tribune.

RELEASED AT LAST.
Over Hundred thousand Dollars
Escapes the Custody Of u
Broken Safe.

The people at the Ladd d Bush
bank are happy. A defective Dread
naught safe, that for over three
weeks has held imprisoned a Target
sum of coin than most editors carry
in their pockets, has yielded to the
gentle persuasion of sale eNperis,
who have been working day and
night tn release its hidden treasures
Over $los, 600 has been withdraw
from circulation.
A DREADNAGHT.
The safe is one of the famous
"Dreaduaught' pattern, Row nc
longer made. There are but two
more of this pattern ON the coast
and but few in the east. The steel
and diamond pointed drills would
not "faze" it, 1t was only by use OF
an emory drill that auy impression
could be made on the steel plate.
The expert, Mr.. Hill, who repr,
sonts the Hill Co. of Portland, says
he has never met with u safe before
that offered such resistance to the
most skillfully made tools. Ono
plate was as hard as crystal steel
could be made. Drills that would
cut smoothly through plate glass
would not scratch this. But it had
to be cut through or the safe would
have to be dynamited. A Gerlnan,
Mr.. Spangenberg, an expert safe
opener Of nearly forty years expe-
rience, " ho was lock adjuster tor
Hprren Safe Co., worked seven days
to bore hole through this plalc.
He hit it SO exactly that by putting
slender point of steel through the
hole he bored he was able to tarn
the tumblers into position. They
bad been entirely disarranged aud
by no possibility could the combina
tion that would allow the safe To be
unlocked. be discovered. Neither
have the experts after three weeks
work been able to learn
WHAT CAUSED THE TROUBLE.
The little catch that lifts the lever
that drops into the tumhlers cannol
be found. 1t is believed hy Mr.
Hill that this is the part that CAV
out and caused the difficulty. 'rn,
safe is not seriously hurt, hut vii
have to be sent to the Cincinnati
factory to be put in order. There
have been none made for almost
twenty years and MIR. Bush is co.,
vinced that he has as nearly II
burg lar-pro0f safe as can be made.
1t was not the time lock that WE
disarrauged in the least, as when
opened it was found run down am
the arrester lifted, so that it is no
possible that the time lock caused
The trouble. There is also evidenc,
that the safe was not tampered with.
The defect was in the mechanism OF
the locks.

There is some kicking at the al

BUSTED AND BURNED.
MisfOrtunes that Overlook an Ill
Fated Locomotive Thursday Night.

Faied Locomotive Thursday Night.
Engiue No. 361 pulling the over
land train due south last night, Jas.
Wheeler engineer, broke her left
eccentric at Labish trestle. Engine
No. SO was ordered down from
Junction City, which arrived before
midnight, switched the 36l into
Chemawa and brought the belated
overland on to Salem, leaving for
the south at p, m. As soon as the
track was open Salem yard engine
No. l, Bat Casey engineer, was
ordered to Chemawa to bring No.
361 10 this city. Ou the way a
spark set fire 10 her tagging of wood
which encases the boiler, and the
No. l ran for ber life and put the
burning locomotive, which was al
most one mass of flames, under the
big water tank. She was drenched
and run onto the side track and the
yard crew retired, supposing they
had saved the ill-fated No. 361.
AN ALARM
WAS turned In from the wooden
mills at sos a. N. and Capital en-
gine was on the ground in jiffy.
For some reason the bell was not
rung until some time after and at
$50 Tiger engine got there with a
hose cart, but had lost her CRATES
and could not steam up. The Caps
got stream and extinguished the
flames. The tender was stacked
full of wood and coal and but for
this would have been entirely de-
stroyed,
THE NO. 361
is entirely dismantled and is q sorry
looking iron horse. Her jacket is in
tatters and her cab is gone up in
smoke. 1t seems spark smouldered
under the sheathing and again fired
the tagging and it was not discov-
cred until too late. An effort was
made to pull the burning engine
under the tank again but there was
not enough steam up. Her driving
rods had been disconnected and she
was ilnmovable. But for the new
fire alarm recently put in from the
wooden mills and cannery she would
have been much worse injured and
might have set fire to other prop
erty. The 361 will be taken to Port
land today by the yard engine.
DEFECTIVE FORCE.
This fire reveals the great defect
in our fire department. The Capt.
tabs engine was on the ground in
five minutes after the fire alarm was
sounded. 1t was then nearly thirty
minutes before the steam was got.
Can't. Price had to mount an engine
horse and ride down town and ring
the fire bell to get the volunteer fire
men out. Comment is unnecessary.
WHAT IS PROPOSED.
Capt. Hunt, John Knight, JOUR-
NAL reporter and others witnessed
the turning in of the pnvateialarms
at II III. today. Each place is in
dicated by different taps and it
worked like a charm. Engineer
Holman has spent good deal of
time and some money on these
alarms and they ought to be ex-
tended to all parts of the city. Fore
man Hunt of the Capitals will ask
the city council to fix up sleeping
apartments in the engine house for
six men to run hose cart besides
the driver and engineer. If men
can be procured to sleep there, with
the extension of the alarms, Salem
would have pretty good day and !
night service, and the arrangement
should be made.
