These terms are only TO degree correct, as
no safe made will Withstand the test of con-
slant fame playing upon it for many hours
There are but very few safes that were put to
this test in our late fire. Only those that were
exposed to the flames of the gas mains, which
are now being extinguished as rapidly as pos.
sible. The degree to which safe will stand
heat is governed altogether by the thickness Of
its walls and the filing material that is used.
A safe consists of two heavy iron plates be-
tween which is placed filling of cement.

discovered by experiments that cement made
the better packing for two reasons. 1t Is q
non-conductor of heat, and besides, is solid
aud holds its form in case it should get fall.
Safes should under no conditions be opened
Immediately after being subjected to lire, but
should be allowed time TO become perfectly
cold; cooler air on the exterior causes an ex-
plosion. It is impossible to make safe both
fire and burglar proof, but burglar proof box
is placed inside q fire proof safe. This IL con-
