MONETARY LOSS MAY REACH $76,000. Firemen Were Hampered by Ex- plosives in Storeroom Which Prevented Their Working on Burning Building with Safety. (Bpectal to The Evening World.) ‘TROY, May 6—For the fourth time fn {ts history, fire has practically de- stroyed the chemical laboratory of the Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute, en- tatlmg a loss estimated at from $60,000 to $75,000, The library, the pride of the institute, was ruined, and the loss fm this department 1s considered beyond monetary consideration, many of the works on chemicals belng exceedingly rare and highly prized. About 200 of the volumes were rescued by students, three of whom were Injured by the falling of @ portion of the roof, narrowly escap- ing death. ‘The greater portion of the privat paratus of Prof, Willlam P. M who has charge of the ‘laboratory, iso saved. Prof. Mason's’ chemical in- gtruments are yalued at approximately 40,000. ‘The fire last night originated near the large lecture room, and is supposed to bave been oaused by an explosion of themicals. The flames quickly spread to the libraries and (he water room, 4n4, eating their way through the roof, made a ‘spectacular sight. The firemen were handicapped, as the Jerge store-room was filled with chem{- gals and tron tanks of carbonic acid gas, Wortunately it was promptly fooded. Ono fireman named Feary had one of his hands blown off in a minor ex- plosion. The fact that the laboratory, which is one of most widely known in the United States, was isolated from the other R. P, I. bulldings, alone saved that structure. A class of about one hundred and fifty students finished an assaying Course yesterday and was to have had examinati nd to-morrow, Prof, Palmer C. Ricketts, principal of the Rensselu Polytechnic Institute, @alled for Europe this week, He will be notified of the tire by cablegram, nd plans will be formed at once for the febullding of the Inboratory.

Clothing Idea Brought to a Successful Issue When the idea of our ‘“‘Concave’’ Shoulder was conceived it seemed at the time impossible to bring it to a successful issue.
