FIREPRooF BUILDING WOOD
Test of an American Invention Mad
in London

The notion of fireproof wood will
strike most people as curious; but none
of the gentlemen who accompanied the
prince of Wales recently to witness
trial of this material will deny that it
is practicable. On the waste ground be.
hind the Tate museum. where Millbank
prison fromerly stood, two model
houses of wood were erected, precisely
similar In design, but with this differ
ence, that whereas one was constructed
of ordinary material the other was mad,
of wood treated by the process it was in
tended to illustrate. On the windward
side of each pile of fagots were heap
ed and saturated with paraffin oil. so
as to make a good blaze, and at the ap
pointed hour light was set to each si.
multaneously, with the result that the
ordinary wooden building was soon
ablaze, and collapsed in about twenty
minutes, while the other suffered no
more harm than the blistering off of the
paint and the charring of the woodwork
Immediately In contact with the flames.
1t showed no disposition whatever to
catch fire. and even proved so slow
conductor of heat that after the flame.

and threw the smaller Of the two clubs
away.

A Virginia Cyclone

WHEELING, w. Va, June 1S-A Sc
we're cyclone struck the town of Elkins
today and did considerable damage
Trees were uprooted, roofs were blow
off, several houses lifted from thei.
foundations and the walls Of new build
ings under construction were wrecked
The house occupied by Henry Hay was
blown from its, foundation and his wife
and child were seriously injured. The
damage was principally in the residence
portion Of the city Trees and outbuild-
ings on Senator Elkins' place were Sc
verely damaged. The new opera house
under construction was completely
wrecked.

from the fagot heap had been roaring
and blazing all around and underneath
for over quarter of an hour the building
ws quite cool inside, and counld be en-
tered with impunity. The prince OF
Wales made gallant effort to cut his
way through the fire and smoke, to be
the first to essay his proof. but after
surmounting the steps which led to the
door the had had enough, and made way
for the others. Finally huge bonfire
of paraffin and fagots was lighted in
side the room, and all the doors and win
dows were opened so that one could see
the enormous mass of flame within. Yet
though the glass of the windows melted
and ran like water, the paneled walls
were uninjured, except for the local car
bonization which took place under the
action of the flames, and wooden chest
containing souvenirs of the occasion
was raked out in a blackened condition
(eXteriorly) from the ashes and found to
be perfectly sound within
This is the first time the wood treated
by the -inflammable process has
been tried in England though, accord :
ing to the printed history which was dis
tributed, it has long been used in Amer
lea. and has become compulsory in the
United States navy and for many kinds
of buildings. The process is not describ-
ed in detail, but seems to consist of
first extracting mechanically all the
natural sap and gases of the wood. and
then replacing them under pressure with
some on-inflammable chemical sub
stance. possibly silicate of soda or an
ammonium ealt. The wood has caustic
taste due to the substance with which
it is impregnated, but is otherwise in
distinguishable from ordinary wood. 1t
takes perfect polish. as the panels
which were exhibited chow, and it is said
to work without difficulty or injury to
tools Certainly, in face of the awful
disaster in Paris, no better advertise
ment for this trial could have been de-
vised.-Pall Mall Gazette
