The experiments were recently COB ductedat Klt7aheth|H,iti N. J., in the presence of members of the boara, surveyors and Bremen.

A fire was stalled by Captain Hull of the Fire In? surance Fat roi; hard woodend petroleum belngused to create an intense heat. After raging for consid? erably over an BOUT the walls were suddenly cooled lo powerful streams of water. The most noticeable effect of the water waa to soften the inside of the wall so that it could easily be penetrated with a penknife; yet the wall resisted tue haulest kind of Kicking from the ins.de with the hoi tom of thu heel.
