No Fireprocf Buildings.

There is no such thing as an alb
solutely ffreproof building" These
words are from an editorial in the
Fireman's Herald. which also adds,
Promised security from fire cannot
be guaranteed" This assertion will
come as a surprise and disappoint-
nent to h general public which has
come to regard certain modern struc-
lures as perfectly safe so far as dan
ger from fire is concerned. The ar
ticle from which the quotation is
made was suggested by the burning
out of several floors and the serious
damage to others in the recent fire in
a large apartment house in New York
City, acknowledged to be one of the
latest and best types. IL is true the
exterior of the building did not pre-.
sent a decidedly w-eckeI appearance
after the conflagration.
THE expectation that a fire would
be confined to the room in which it
started. or to that floor, at most, prov
ed a mistake. Apartments contain.
I'M are usually ~overcrowded with
furniture and articles of al extreme.
iy iEfiamabie nature. When once
these commenced to blaze the heat
was so intense as to extend through
the floor above and cause another
fire there, and so on to the top. The
control and subjr CATION of a fire in
any large building chiefly depends
Upon the carrying out of the archi-
tect's plan to confine the fire. This
contemplates tae closing of all doors
and windows; but when the occupants
are making a hurried exit, many of
them fail ID observe the rule.
"As long as IN rooms continue to
be filed with infiammable articles
Just SO long will u fireproof apart

ing, although that condition is a de-
cided step in advance, and ordinarily
would enable the escape of its occu-
pants."-H. H. Windsor in the May
