Human Skull Is Elastic
From the, Chicago Tribune.


 Fortunately the human skull, althou composed of bones. is elastic--much mol so than one would think. The averagJ male adult skull, in fact. is so elastid that is may be compressed laterally in| diameter by a blow or pressure applied at the center of area at right angles td the surface at that point by 11s centi1 meters, or about six-tenths of an inch recovering it's original diameter and fornl without breakage. The material of whicN 7 our bones Is made is so highly resistant that a cylindrical piece thereof only on( square millimeter, or 0o0155 square incfI in area-i. e, only 1.12S millimeter. ol 0044 inch in diameter. has a tensile| strength of 15 Kilograms, or S3 pounds, avoirdupois, figuring out at about 21 ! 300 pounds per square inch. A simpld sample of hardwood tested in the sand manner held only 10 kilograms-tha isl bone has 50 per cent more tensile strength than wood. A single bone fiber is showrl in the hygiene exhibition, Dresden, supi porting a weight of five Kilograms. or Il pounds avoirdupois.

CAN ANY BUILDING BUILT NOWADAYS BE
 REALLY FIREPROOF?
CONTINUED FROM PAGE O

building fin my estimation is erected of steel frame and hollow tile floors and partitions, but iron and reinforced con crete have also been used to advantage in the construction of such buildings. Any structure that Is erected of fireproof materials is almost certain to be capable of withstanding the fire of the usual city district.
 'The steel frame buildings of this city are all fireproof and the Chamber of Commerce structure has proved that this form of precaution pays, as this was saved recently because of it's fireproof proclivites. The Brown-Marx, Empire, Woodward and First National bank and Title Guarantee buildings are good ex- amples of well constructed fireproof erec- tions.''

will burn quicker than others, but as to there being one which will not burn, I have not heard of it.
 Captain Allen of Station No. said "A concrete building is more subject to destruction by fire than any so-called 'fireproof building I know of. A steel structure is also a dangerous building for fire, for it does not take much to heat the steel, and when this is heated it expands and pushes the walls down. I can almost positively say that there are no fireproof buildings"
 Engineer Harry Mullen of Steamer Company No said; T am sorry about the big New York fire in which BataI- lion Chief Walsh lost his life, and the great loss of other lives and property However, I am not surprised much as people take more risks with a reputeu 'fireproof' building than with any other, and, to my way of thinking, there are no freproof buildings"
 Fireman Joe Downs of Hose Com pany Mo- said: "A steel structure building is the most dangerous form of building that a fireman has to go up against With comparatively little heat the steel joints expand and throw all the brick work on the side, to the ground. placing the lives of the flremen in great danger. I feel greatly con cerned when fire breaks out In IL 'fireproof building, for I do not believe that there are any such"
