p ?" 1 -i-Jk ! IL^!! FIRE-PROOF BUILDINGS.' .? ' - ' ^ 3 Editor Press & Banner : I enclose you an extract, whi< can bat be read with interest, and hope.with profit, by the suflere from the lato conflagration in 01 County scat. Why hould not tl burnt portion of Abbevillo C. II. 1 rebuilt fire proof in fael ? The c; cmpt from annual insurance woul in a very few years save more tha the extra expense required to mat every building the master of the fir hond. It private enterprises eannc accomplish this, the public purs should certainly bo taxed beavil enough to rebuild a Court House tin would be fire-proof from foundatio to apex. A. fire-Proof Buildings ? Views of tl Sculptor, Mr. Hiram Powers. The Providence Journal publishes letter from Mr. Hiram Powers to fitizonof Rhodelsland,in which,afte alluding to the burnlngof Chicago, h says: But it may bo asked, "Is it possibl to make a city fire-pi oof ?" I answor yes, and without an}' great extra ex pense. To prove this. I havo only t< say that, although there havo beet frequent fires in the-cit}* of Florence during the thirty-four years of rnj residence in it, not ono house has beer consumed*, except a theatre, and thai was not entirely destroyed. Rooms lull of goods, iiavo Deen lion tea Jikc ovens by ignited calicoes, straw hats, etc., but as tho floors above and below were all covered by thin brick tiles, the goods burned without ventilation And as there was no flame, a smell like that of a coal pit soou gave the alarm, and the fico was soon extinguished by no other engine than a squirt holding about a gallon, which discharged a well directed stream through somo aperture. I once beheld Homo firemen marching to a firo in Florence Foi^fnost wero three men with picks, next four men with buckets. then three men with highly polished brass squirts on their shoulders ; all marching with an air of impoi tancs. The fire was at tho residonce of MrrClevenger; the American sculptor, and had been burning twenty four hours on the end of a joist just under his fire place. He had smelt something like a coal pit for some time, and nt lernrth nereeived smokt? l-isinf from r* i ry the brick floor. On going below be found the room full of smoke, and r. l ush bottomed chair just under the joist was partiallj' consumed. But the joist wan not yet burned oft', and why ? Becauso tho tiro was bricked down. It could not rise and burst into flumes. Tho secret of fireproof building ;i then is this: It must bo made imposj hibie for tho flames to pass through iho floors or up tho stairway. If you will have wood floors and stair*, lay a flooring of tho thinnest sheet iron over tho joists, and your wood upon 1 hat; and alifath tho Stairs with the hamo material. A floor will not burn without a supply of air under it. Throw ti dry bwarti upow a perfjc-'Iy flat pavement nnd kindle it as it lies, if yoy can. Yon may make a fi-e upon it and in time consumo it, but it will'require a long time. Prevent drafts, and though there will still be fires no house will be consumed: The combustion will go on so slowlj- that discovery isfcertaia in timo to prevent any great calamity. Hut the roofs, Hiow about them ? Slate or tiles ? Zinc molts too easily. I believe that hard burned tile*, if flat, would stand the fro&t at home; and if so, they .constitute the best roofing. My house has no joists. All the floors are of tiles resting on urchc9. One of these arches was sraade over a room twenty five feet square, bj* four men in four days. The bricks aro about one and a huff inches thick, and laid edgewise with plaster of Paris. There was no framework prepared to lay them on, unless you would so term four bits of wood which a man could carry under his arm. And yet this nrch is so strong as to uepcriecuy saie with a largo dancing party on it. I npverhave hoard of one of those floors falling, and they aro absolutly fircpioof. Of course light archea~ like these would' not do for warehouses". ft wonlifpay, 1 think, to send out here for.-an.IUilian brick mason who knows bow ta build thoso thin but Htroag arches for dwelling houses. 1 know that there is a prcjudico at home agnirist brick or composition floors. "Too cold in winter," it is said. And so they aro if baro, but cover them with several thicknossci of paper and then carpct them, and no one can distinguish the slightest difference between their temperature and that of wood floors. Who doubts this, let him try the experiment with t ie feet of tho thermometer. The truth is ihat the brick or composition floor is h"> colder in itself than wood?the thermometer attests this?tut it is a better conductor. I do not insure mj house, as I know that it is notcombus I tible. The Confederate Archives.?Wm Tj. Sto'no recently delivered auoratioi in New York. Io tlto course of hi remarks he gave the following bit o information concerning thedisjKJsitioi which was made of the rebel archive nt tb > collapse of the rebellion: "Oi th> morning of Mr. Davis' capture,' says Mr. Stone, "David Tilgman wail ed upon him at his bedside and saic (by this }'0u may see tl^at the eneur is horo; such and such is tbe dispos1 lion of the roads. If you come wit me 3*011 will be ablo to leave th country fn safety. If you da no you will bo captured in five hours To this Mr. Pavis replied, curtly, h 'knew his owu business best.' Til< man continued : 'Very well, sir; I hav been entrusted with the treasure an archives, and proposo to secure then even at the peril of the loss of you urui mv li-fa _T shall start j 1UV one? by the way I havo marked ou The result is well known. In le than five hours Mr. Davis was a pri oner, but the archives wero sal When a few weeks after, in tbe reces 08 or the forest, Tilgman learned tb all was lost, he alone, with his ou hands, buried the troasnre and a chives, and unless, .during, the foi years that elapsed between his pai ing with me and his untoward deat ho revealed the spot, the secret as the whereabouts of the archives forevor buried. As long as they c; be kept from the ken of man, so loi shall the story be a monument to o i' brother's unswerving fidelity, is the true history of the arcl the Southern Confederacy, al sh rumors are from time to tir I afloat of their being now in the of this bank, and now of that."
