FIREPROOF BUILDINGS.

A remarkable instance of the safety af-
forded by modern freproof buildings has
occurred in New York. A fire broke out in
the basement of the World building, and in
a moment a hundred tons of infiammable
paper were ablaze. Two or three hundred
men were at work on the eleventh and
twelfth floors. The fire stopped the run
ming of the front elevators, but the rear
ones remained in operation. The shafts
and stairways were soon filled with smoke
which penetrated to the floors on which
the men were at work. but so great was
their confidence in the ireproof character
of the building that, though disconnected
by the smoke, they continued their work.

elevators. Had the house not been fire.
