TireDrOOf Buildings.

Reviewing the various attempts which
have been made in the past to realize an
adequate method of fireproof construction,
writer IN The Engineering Magazine de-
clarcs that so inefficient in results have
been these attempts that very few of the 80
called tireproOf buildings creGted. prior to
1890 are actually flreproof. On tho con-
trary, he asserts that, while in many cases
suitable materials hive been employed in
these buildings, they have not been suit-
ably adapted or disposed. insignificant
fires in such buildings have resulted most
disastrously and in some cases have utterly
wrecked the buildings. Careful investiga-
tons, however, of tho physical properties
of structural iron and steel when subjected
to heat and close observation Of the effects
of fro and water on different materials
have within comparatively short time, ID
is admitted, developed efficient and eco
nomical methods Of ilreprooting. Further,
the constant and increasing demand for
flreproof buildings has resulted in the de-
velopment of nearly 80 different systems Of
such construction, designed to serve the
purpose Of the clay products, at q reduced
cost, some of which, based upon correct
mechanical principles and contemplating
the use Of none but suitable materials un-
questionably produce Ercproof buildings in
the broad sense in which the term Is now
used.

THE TRAMP AND HIS FUTURE.
A Man Who VIII Not Work When Luz

Kansas City Journal.

kanSaS City journal.
The tramp problem has not been solved
by the return of prosperity and the eEor-
nous demand for labor throughout the
grain region. Within the present week the
farmers of Wyandotte county have met
these strangers within their gates in armed
conflict, and have drawn blood in defense
of their affairs and their watermelon
Coxey, Lewelling and the rest of the
seven wise men have been representing the
tramp TO be a yearner for a job and the
victim of a vicious social system. The per-
sistence of the idle habits of the Western
tramp through the harvest season disproves
this. The tramp does not want work and
will not take it.
The tramp. generally speaking, is a man
whose will and ambition are 100 weak to
make him a place in a society that is ear
nestly pursuing the good things of life. The
typical laboring man of the present is pot
satisfied with the poems existence. He
must do more than Just keep together body
and soul He wants a suit of good clothes
for Sunday, fruit and other delicacies for
his table schooling for his children, a daily
paper and occasional rides TO the parks He
is willing to work to secure these things.
and his place in society is so shaped that
he can do it,

member of a hand-to-mouth society but
he is a misfit in the American industrial
system. We may ind him maintaining him.

and occasionally working for few DAYS
but the great city has no place for him He
must work ell the time stand aside for
some man who will. His will is too weak
for the first. and so he does the second. and
the man who might be an averag e citizen
in Mexico, under the heavier Industrial
pressure in the United States becomes a
''hobo."
There is but one cure. We cannot alter
the marching rate of society to suit the
progress of the tramp, but we can educate
and strengthen the weak Will so that he
shall keep up. The solution of the tramp
question lies in the development of the
moral fiber of the American boy Every
citizen should be taught TO work and to love
his country. Industry and patriotism react
on each other. Technical instruction helps

other. When every citizen is trained
worker and recognizes that there is a
glorious outcome to his country's life the
