cAsT-IRoN DANGEROUS.
Its Use in Structural Work Is Con-
demned by Philadelphia
Professor.

At a recent meeting of the Franklin
institute, of Philadelphia, Prof. Alex
ander E. Outerbridge reviewed the re-
suit of his recent studies on the effect
of severe heat on cast iron, and illus
trated the danger of combining it with
steel in building construction.
He proved conclusively that bar Of
cast iron 16 inches long. after heating
and cooling, shows a permanent ex-
pansion Of about GAS per cent, while
under similar conditions steel will re-
turn to it's original dimensions.
Photographs taken after the fire at
Baltimore were exhibited. and in every
case the steel skeleton buildings resisted
the terrific flood of fire, while cast iron
buildings lay in shattered ruins.
One towering steel building, although
Quilted from top to bottom. was found to
be plumb, and the skeleton in such per-
feet condition that the building could
be refinished and occupied aga u.
Applying the results of his labora tory
experiments in building construction,
especially in the light of actual fire tests
at Baltimore, the lecturer expressed his
opinion that any combination of cast
iron with steel within such structures
constitutes distinct fire hazard.
All fireproof buildings should be con-
strueted of steel. At the last meeting
of the American Society of Civil En-
gineers in New York also the employ
ment Of cast iron was the subject of I'M
usually spirited condemnation. These
scientific demonstrations and their
proved results are sure to have a very
definite effect in planning future fire
proof constructions.

RAT CAUSE OF RUNAWAY.
Horse Becomes Frightened at Sight
of Rodent and Driver Narrowly
Escapes Injury.

A bad, bold rat of enormous proper
tons caused a runaway at Louisville.
KY, the other day. which nearly ended
disastrously. AS 1t was, a wagon load
of patent wire fence was scattered over
the square between First and Brook
streets, and five workmen spent the
afternoon picking up the debris.
The Inflated wagon and the driver,
James Raster. started from the Offices
of the company bound for the railway
station. At First and Market streets
there resides a very large and privileged
rat. His home is the sewer. He has
lived there so long he is never disturbed
by the neighbors or the newsboys who
visit the corner. He has become some
what of pet, although he lives from
what he can steal.
AS the wagon containing the fence
came down Market street the rat was
feeding on the opposite side of the street,
In gutter large piece of cheese had
been discovered. and with this between
his teeth he scampered toward his home
in the sewer. The horse driven by Kas-
ter was so surprised at the sight that
he Immediately whirled and took to his
heels up Market street. The driver was
partly asleep at the time. and fell for
ward between the horse and the wagon,
but he woke up sufficiently to grab the
horse by the tail and hang on. The
fence, which was piled on the wagon
in sections. began to fall off piece by
piece. At Brook street the frightened
animal was stopped and the boy ex-
tracted from his position,

United States Consul LANCER, at Sol

will be the first Of its kind in Prussia.
1t will run from Monnheim to Langen-

short branches intended for freighting

For entering farm yards lying close

cable 50 to 20 feet in length will be used
to transmit the current to the motor
car. When these trains pass each 9TH

wires and disconnect its current until
the other has passed.
Farmers wagons can be attached to
the end of the train, provided the ordi-

Mr.. Yenovikian recently bought a

called to move the furniture. The house

was a roof above him and walls separat-

BABY CAUSES A LAW SUIT

Does the arrival of baby in fiat for

the owner in ejecting the tenants?
Can the baby be blamed. and can the

Can it be settled by papa moving out?

parents?
Mrs Mary Potter Freeman, of Balti-
more, sued Mr.. Joseph Newman, Jr., her
former tenant, on the appeal from a mag
istrate's decision in the city court, for
eight dollars, hence the queries. Mrs.
Freeman declares the baby to be the be-
ginning of the trouble, in which mounted
police, a plain clothes policeman, and a
constable or two figured, and to be the
cause of some stormy scenes on the day
Of its advent into the household. She
succeeded in obtaining a reversal Of the
judgment by Judge Baer, bur just what
the baby has to do and how far its re-
sponsibility carries is still unsettled by
