Cotton Tested By Fire.
Experiments at Lowell Show the Ad-
vantage Of American RJundlap
Ra]ee

DaleS.
The Roundlap bale of the Ameri-
can Cotton Co, the Lowry bale OF
the Planters Compress Company,
and an ordinary square cotton bale
were subjected to thorough-going
fire test in Lowell, Mass, June Stb,
by the Associated Factory Mutual
Fire Insurance Companies Of the
United States, for the purpose of de-
termining the relative fire hazards ef
the several methods of baliDg cotton.
Two small frame houses, exactly
alike, and some distance apart had
been erected on a vacant plot and
the space beneath them filed with
boards and cotton waste, over which
ten gallons of coal oil were poured.
In one building eight American
Rourdlep bales and one square bale
were stored. Ia the other, eight
Lowry bales and one square bale.
The torch was applied and the
flames were permitted to burn one
hour before being extipguished. 1t
was as hot a blaze as cotton could
well be subjected to. There was no
test of the square bale, owing to the
fact that when the superstructures
collapsed, which they did few min
utes after being fred, one of the
square bales fell away from the
flames and then the other was re-
moved.
1t was evident and generally con-
ceded that the American Roundlap
bale stood the test much better than
the Lowry bale. Nearly all the
wires on the Lowry bales were burn
ed eff and the bales elongated from
from their original length Of 8 feet
to 6 feet and over. This exposed
the cotton in the Lowry bales to the
flames which were eating into tie
bales at many points when the fire
was put out. Two Of the Lowry
bales broke in two and were more
badly burned than the others.
The American bales stood up
splendidly under the severe ordeal.
They neither unrolled nor extended
in length, and only the outer surfaces
exposed to the intense fine were
burned. This latest test, was only
another triumph for the American
Cotton Company's Roundlap bale.
The cotton saved from the fire will
be carefully picked over and the
salvage reclaimed will be weighed.
It was stated by underwriters
present at the Lowell fire test that,
at a secret test recently made as to
tha ability of the two different styles
of round bales to withstand the
action of water, after being sub
merged for some time the wires on
the Lowry bales had burst and none
Of the Lowry cotton was recovered
from the test. The American Com
pany's bales came out intact and wet
only on the exterior, which soon
dried, leaving the cotton as good as
ever.
