A Firc-Resisting Cement.
(Chambers's JOurnaIJ

This new fre-resisting cement has
lately been subjected to a careful test in
GERMANY. and an official protocol has
been issued concerning its behavior, which
hears the signatures of several archi-
tects. engineers, and other experts. The
trial was conducted in i wooden house
built for the purpose. the walls and ROOF
of which, .and an iron girder supporting
the roof Were coated with an inch-thick
LAYER of asbestic The structure was
nartlv filled and surrounded outside with
a mass OF shavings and wood chips soak
cd i'm petroleum. and the whole was set
alight and allowed TO burn for about
tbree-ouarters Of an hour. The fierce
confederation was then eXtinguished by
means of hose, when it was observed mat
the asbestic showed no sign of either
cracking or peeling. When it was at
length clipped of in various places, both
,be iron and wood of which the structure
,ras composed were found perfectly in
tao, II may be mentioned here that the
,,,oo Nrenroof curtain which separated
tbe stage from the auditorium at the
late greatest show on earth al Olym-
mia London. was coated with asbestic.
