By Use of A Canvas Chute that Shuts Like an Accordeon. This Invention. This method of saving life has been Invented for ue in the nursery. In the | ebpentng in the wall is a flexible canvas escape packed up like an accordion. On an alarm being given It is pushed outward, forming a tunnel which {s used as a safe vate tilde to the street. ad: ‘ 2 sey 2 e eae te 2d ie a we: {| @ Sectional view, ) emiwhich inclose the escape and the per- | seamanent fastenings which keep it in showing the shutters; + place. the Invention of appliances which are used in the saving of life at @ euch @ time, and the great loss of chil- dren‘s lives in the Iroquois Theatre dis- | aster has directed the attention of in-| S.ventors to the rescue of the little ones » o Ene big fire has some effect on when they are too overcome by fear to| think for themselves For their protec- ing escape for children's nurseries, The sketch is trom the Chicago Tribune. ‘An opening is made in the wall of the room, which connects directly with the street. The outside and inside of the opening are protected with shutters, both opening away from the wall. Into the space between these shutters a col- lapstble canvas chute is packed in much the same way as an accordion folds up, with one end securely fastened to the wall by means of chains. When there {s an alarm of fire all that has to be done ts to open the in- side shutter inward, give the outer shutter and chute push, and the whole ¢hings falls to: the ground, dis- closing a canvas passage, down which it 1s easy to make a safe journey to the ground. The nurse or some grown person should descend first to receive the children, though their descent may be regulated by themselves, if they re- member to press against the sides of the chute, thus forming a brake, Belng built into the walls of the house, there is no confusion o&used in a hunt for the escape in @ time of need, as is so often the case where portable fire-escapes are the reliance of more than one person. In addition, no un- sightly attachments mar the beauty of the architecture. ee ————————SS EL. | \ OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES. | her ‘Hallo, Johnny, which way aid the . i } lout his way. hounds go?” said the hunter who haa = “Johnny” sucked a finger and dropped his gaze. “1 did thehounds go?” Johnny took the coin, fell upon all fours and barked lke “Dat way,” he said, shyly. “Come, don't be afraid; here's a penny for you.
