September wheat was sold freely at

The fact that only eight loads were re-

impetus early. which carried September

A hreproof house was recently built
IN The suburbs OF Boston at a cost OF
over n thousand dollars. filed with COM
bustihles and subjected TO as great q heat
as could he obtained by natural means.
The purpose was to test the effect of hre
on certain methods OF construction, Tho
experiment, which was conducted under
the direction OF Prof. c. l.. Norton. OF
the Massachusetts Institute Of Tcehnol-
ogy. was witnessed by the leading ensip-
GERS. insurance men, architects and build
ers Of New England.
In this typical test the building was
L. to 20 feet In size and $ feet high, the
! roof being Il single slab OF cinder con
| crete, reinforced by steel nhers, repre-
senting the floor OF a modern building.
This roof was loaded with u pile of pig
iron sufficient "a give q pressure OF about
400 pounds to the square foot, 30 tons of
iron being used. In order to obtain a
greater heat the building was arranged In
the general plan OF "A furnace. having a
| crate of steel rails instead OF u floor.
" large iron doors at one end and two
massive ehimneys at the other. The struc-
ture was covered with concrete both In
side and out, giving it the appearance OF
a primitive adobe temple. Instead OF
windows there were four small holes at
the corners, through which the Junction
! of an electric pyromctcr could be inserted
for the purpose of reading the inside tenn
perature. There were besides twelve other
! imbedded In the walls, from
which, by means of an electric switch
board, connecting with II galvanometer,
temperature readings wero taken every
few minutes. Fly an ingenious orange
ment Of rods. working between overhead
beams and the roof itself, the sag OF the
roof was shown directly on dials, so that
IL could he recorded at frequent intervals.
A huge pile OF cord wood and kindling,
saturated with kerosene, was consumed,
and the heat reached a point somewhat
above 1000 degrees II. during the progress
of the experiment. After the fire had been
burning two hours the doors were opened
and n stream from n city hydrant was
turned suddenly into the building, but
neither the fire nor the water materially
damaged the construction. The roof, al
though II saggcd some three inches, did
not break. and was afterward crushed by
the addition of an enormous load OF Iron.
Experimental tests have been made be-
fore, but tests OF the character made by
Prof. Norton are among the first which
include an exact scientific record of all
the conditions and resnlts
