Wreck OLD HOUSE
WITH DYNAMITE.
Stone Structure on r. r.
M. Carpenter Property
at Mendenhall, Raced
SHOWER OF STONE
AFTER BLOW UP

A scene which reminded one of the
European battlenelds was staged last
week on a farm owned by r. r. NJ. Car
penter, vice-president Of the dupont
Company. near Mendenhall, Pa. when
an old stone building was shattered by
dynamite blast which made as coms
plete a wreck Of the structure as was
ever made by a German shell.
The building, which had passed itA
days OF. usefulness, stood on the top Of
a hill in a remote corner OF the farm.
But the question OF demolishlng it
proved a serious one, for 1t was built
in the days when solidity and good
Workmanship were considered prime
factors in construction work. II was
made Of native Chester county stone
and was put together with mortar and
had dehed the ravages of more than
half a century. The walls were about
20 inches thick and the foundations
reached well under ground. In the CEN
ter OF the building was a massive stone
fireplace with equally massive founda-
tions. Even the woodwork-the floors
and the timbers--presented a problem.
A survey OF the situation led TO the
decision TO use modern methods in
razing the building and dynamite was
agreed upon as the best agent OF de-
struction.
Expert blasters were put TO work.
They dug deep around the foundations
both outside and in and loaded the holes
with the explosive. A drilling machine
was used to make holes in the walls
inside the building, and sixteen charges
in all were placed in such a way as to
insure the best results. Nearly 200
pounds Of dynamite was loaded and
the charges were all connected up by
wires which in turn led TO one blasting
machine.
All Of this preparatory work took
about six hours. and then the crowd
which had gathered TO witness the
operation scattered TO safe distances.
Spectators were perched on the slopes
Of adjoining hills waiting for the
moment which would prove tlIe undo
ing Of work which probably took the
artisans 0f,former times many months
to complete. The man in charge Of the
blasting machine ran his wires 30 feet
away from the scene and concealed
himself behind the massive trunk OF an
oak tree. From the security OF this
retreat he started the current and
caused the explosion which hurled the
mass Of rock and timber 200 feet into
the air. II was a spectacle as the mass
Of stone and shattered mortar rose 20
a great height and settled back again
almost on the same spot where the Old
had stood.
Only a few Of the rocks were hurled
TO any great distance. Some OF the
smaller ones dropped in the fields i00o
feet away. but the isolation Of the
structure Obvated all danger.
After the explosion a fire was start
cd among the ruins TO dispose OF the
shattered woodwork, so the building
stone could be more easily salvaged tc
go into new construction work.
