WHEN CAST IRON EXPANDS.
Construction Unsafe Unless Steel
Alone Is Used, Says an
Authority.

At the monthly meeting of the Frank.
lin institute in Philadelphia receutl,
Prof Alexander E. Outerbridge re.
viewed the result Of his recent studies
on the effect of severe heat on cast iron
and Illustrated the danger of combinina
1t with steel in building construction
He proved conclusiveIy that bar of cast
iron 16 inches long, after heating and
cooling shows a permanent expansion
OF about 0.45 per cent, while under SIM
liar conditions steel will return to fts
original dimensions.
Photographs taken after the recent
nre at Baltimore were exhibited, and in
every case the steel skeleton buildinp
resisted the terrific food of fire. while
cast iron buildings lay In shattered
ruins. One towering steel building AL
though gutted from top to bottom. was
found to be plump, and the skeleton IN
such perfect condition that the building
could be reinished and occupied again.
Applying the results of his laboratory
experiments to building construction
especially in the light of the actual fire
tests at Baltimore, the lecturer ex-
pressed his opinion that any com bina.
tion OF cast iron with steel in such struc-
lures constituted distinct fire hazard
and in future fireproof buildings should
De constructed entirely Of steel
AT the last meeting of the American
society OF Civil Engineers in New York
also the employment OF cast iron was
the subject Of unusually spirited con-
oemnation. These scientific demon
strations and their proved results are
sure TO have very definite effect IN
planning future freproof construction.

4 GLOBE FOR SAVING lIfE.


The most unique production In the

iron tank afloat. and this gave him his
idea. Since then he has been expert

tests.
