Ghika had offered to make Nine. Rigp a
princess again by sharing his title and
somewhat visionary estates with her.
An unknown villain in this social ro-
nance brought this letter to the notice OF
Della Rogers. And incidentally Miss Rog-
ers learned from some kind friends that
the prince had agents looking up her
grandfather's bank account. From that
moment Prince Ghika was forbidden to
even speak TO her again.
What a lesson for an American girl to
teach Europe's effete sons OF royalty!

PREVENT THE SPREAD OF FIRE.
4 Remarkably SuccessfUl Test Ua-
aergone by Laxfer Prisms.

aergone by Laxfer Prisms.
One OF the most interesting FIRE tests
ever made in this city. which took place
on Thursday. has established beyond all
doubt that the equipment OF buildings
with Luxfer prisms Is a very elective
preventive against the spread of fire. On
an open lot brick furnace was built. In
two sides OF which were placed three diff
ferent kinds of glass windows. one of the
metallic sashes containing Luxfer prisms.
another plate glass cut into square seq
ments and joined with copper ribs or
strips In the same manner as the ssrisms.
and the third ordinary window glass.
which was ribbed with copper In the same
way.
A roaring fire of pine logs. which was
built within the furnace. generated a heat
of over 2000 degrees, according to an Of
fetal test with pyrometer.. The fire was
of such intensity that ordinary panes of
plate or window glass would have broken
within q minute after the blaze was kin
died. but for hours the windows OF the
furnace withstood the tremendous heat.
The glass contracted and bulged inward
from two to four inches and the window
glass was especially warped and twisted.
Although the prisms and the plate and
window glass cracked. they were held
solidly together by the copper ribs and
prevented the fire within from breaking
through. 1t was demonstrated that the
copper ribs not only held the glass to-
gethev. but acted as heat conductor and
prevented the glass from melting.
When the furnace heat was greatest Are
men directed stream from a hose from
a city fire plug against the glass. and al
though the hose was within two feet OF the
Luxfer prisms and the plate glass. neither
OF them broke. The ordinary window glass
also resisted the stream OF water for
time, so great was the cohesive strength
added by the copper ribs
Superintendent William McDevitt. of the
Fire Underwriters Association. expressed
the unanimous opinion OF the fire oflicials
who observed the test, in the following
statement: The test demonstrates that
Luxfer prisns. and glass windows con-
structed with copper ribs like the prisms,
are of immense value in protecting build
ings from flames. being even better than
shutters. They not only prevent fire from
entering building, but prevent II from
breaking out OF building. They are of
especial value for use In windows near fire
escapes. keeping flames from lcaping
through windows. thus cutting of the fire
escapes. "-Philadelphia Record.
