Tho test of the . fire proof qualities of Mr. Mott's roofing paint was made ou Courthouse avenue last evening, in the presence of a large num ber of spectators, and the ordeal satisfactorily cstaoiistieu an mat was claimed for the u A small house made of dry pino covcrod iWith a thin coat of palut, was placed under ai pile of shavings upon which six gallons of kero sene oil was pouml and ignited. The flame leaped high Into the air and burned! furiously for forty minutes. Finally tho house was raked from the debris and drenched ! with kerosene oil. which burned off clean; leaving the wood unscorched, as any one may see who has the curiosity to call at the Walthall hotel. where It Is on exhibition to-day. Ths object of the test, which on account of j the caution of the authorities was not as severe a usual, was not to prove the impossibility of destroy ing the box by lire, but to show that the paint Is an effective protection against the ordinary accidents which causes lire. This was mailo so plain to our mind that it has Ixentdetcr mined to treat the roof of thoLxiEX-ArrE,vxs building to a coat of It as soon as tho hotwe la remodeled.. Another, and In our opinion, more valuable Quality of the paiat is its lm- pervloupness to water, making It a suro remc dy for leaks In did shingled aud tinned roofs. As a test of this, two paper boxes weropalted on the inside and kerOtcne oil poured Into one and water into the other without the slightest effect upon the paper, j Tho bores with their contents can also be seen at the Walthall hotl to-tlav. Persons who may have icacy roor, or who may wish to guard against lire should give Mr. Mott a call and learn from him about the matter.
