sLoW-BuRNING BUILDINGS.
Comparative Danger in Pitch Pine and
Spruce or Soft Pine.


Nothing is more common, after
fire in u so-called, ''slow-burning'
building, like the Ames and other
buildings lately destroyed in Boston,
than to hear such sneering remarks as
"That was what the architects call
ilre-proof building. 1 wonder why they
cannot learn something about their
business" The fact is, that architects,
who know better than anyone else, fire
engineers excepted, what sort of build
ings are firc-proof, never have admitted
that construction of wooden beams
and planks was fire-proof, or anything
except under certain circumsta noes,
slow-burning, and the ridiculous claim
that building with light wooden
hoors vanished on the under side, is
fre-proof simply because it has an inch
more thickness of boarding over it than
one of the usual kind, il, 50 far as we
know, made only by owners and real
estate agents. Even insurance men,
who, as we think, have set an exagger.
ated value on the virtues of two-inch
planks, do not seem to have had any
substantial basis for their opinion.
1t was reported a few days ago that
all policies of insurance in Boston on
buildings having hoA' beams of pitch
pine were to be Cancelled ON account OF
the particularly infammable nature OF
that timber. 1t is not likely that any
such proceeding, which would deprive
of insurance nearly all the so-callod
eslow-burning' buildings in the city,
was ever really contemplated, but the
report certainly indicates that some
insurance man had been seized with
the notion that building with pitch
pine beams and floors was more com.
bustible than one with spruce or white
pine timbers.
Architects, of course, do not need tG
be told that the contrary is the case.
While pitch is undoubtedly an inflam
mable material, the timber containing
| 1t is so dense and heavy as to be leindled
with far more difficulty than the light
spruce or soft pine. When exposed to
great heat cubic foot of pitch pine,
which weighs about fifty pounds, will
burn with more intensity than a cubic
foot of spruce, which weighs only
thirty, just as fifty pounds of coal viii
produce more heat than thirty pounds;
but the same rule applies to the extra
thickness of floors SO much favored by
underwriters, and it is not at all evil
dent why an additional 80 per cont. OF
inflammable material spread ON top OF
a floor should be good thing, while
an addition OF 10 per cent. to the weight
OF the timbers supporting it should bs
so bad thing that the underwriterA
should refuse to insure buildings -

MEMORIAL DAY.

Let the flowers fall
Over them all.
No more their tramp!ing feet
Keep time with the quick drum beat:
No longer rushing in
To the bloody battles din;
They sleep to-day,
The blue and gray,
Beneath the same protecting earth
That gave them birth,
That nourished them as boys and men,
And when
There came
The dreadful game
OF war, they played it as each one should
OF the same motherhood:
And dying in it, hopes and fears
Receive to-day that mothers tears.
The past is past u newer life
Has risen from that awful strife,
And these, TO whom we cannot tell
What union grew because they fell,
tShall ever be the tic that binds
The fellowship of nobler minds,
The nation, and the whole world great
Let the fiOw ,rs tall
Over thr:u all!

He Built One of the pyramids.


The British museum, the great Euro
pean storehouse Of things out Of the or
binary. has hundreds of Egyptian mum
mics of all dynasties carefully slowed
away within its walls. Some Of these
are comparatively recent efforts at en-
balming. and others date back to the
wide revolving shades of centuries
past The oldest of the entire collec-
ton is the mummy of Mykerinos. He
was king in Egypt in what is known to
history as the fourth dynasty" and
wore his golden tiara and sat on the
throne Of thrones 1900 years before the
wise men followed the star Of fate till it
stopped over that lowly howell in Bethle-
hem where the infant Jesus lay.
Mykerinos was the builder of the third
pyramid at Ghizeh, where his headless
mummy was discovered in the year 1885.
The stone coffin in which he was being
transported to England was lost at sea
and lay at the bottom of the ocean for
two years before being recovered. 1t is
seldom that mans bones are subjected
to vicissitudes, especially 5000 or 5000
