DIDN'T HURT BLOCKS
Lively Fire in Miracle Pressed
Stone House for Demonstra-
ton.

The following from a recent
issue OF the Minneapolis Journal
regarding the Miracle Concrete
cement blocks, a factory for the
manufacture of which is now
operated by Charles Connor in
this city, will be read with a
good deal Of interest, by those
who contemplating using some
OF the blocks for building pur.
poses:
Miracles staggered air space concrete
blocks created The only excitement a,
the fair grounds yesterday, and there
was wild time until the big crowd
understood that what looked like q
dangerous fire was simply demonstra
ton of the fireproof quality of the
blocks. With the consent of the state
fair management the neat little stone
house which is the most conspicuous
feature of the interesting display of the
Miracle Pressed Stone company on the
knoll at the west side of Machinery hall
was set on fire in order to convince the
public that the merits advertised by
the company were based on facts.
The building was filled with dry lum-
| Der over which was spilled several gal
ons of kerosene and then match was
touched to the mass. The fire was a
hot one, and soon dense clouds of smoke
were mounting in the sky. AS the build
ing was in plain sight from nearlyall parts
| of the grounds, everybody saw the fire
and made for it. Alderman John Ryan
, of Minneapolis promptly turned in a
, fire alarm and all the fire extinguishing
apparatus joined in the race.
The tiremen were restrained for quite
while, but the demonstration was too
realistic, and fearing the consequences
they asserted their authorityand put out
the flames, which were then blazing fu-
rlously. The show was too realistic for
the fair management also and others
we're prohibited.
VI course the stone YVES not harmed
at all, aud the temperature of the out
side was not raised a single degree, the
fierce fire ragged inside for nearly half
an hour.
The Miracle block which is Sx12x24
inches has two rows Of vertical holes.
The blocks register on each other so
that when the wall is formed there two
series OF air shafts through the entire
wall from top to bottom. As the shafts
no arranged side by side; but
staggered" neither the heat nor the
cold can radiate through the block in
