THE FIRE KIHo.-A few invited GUT sits were
treated to novel spectacle yesterday afternoon Al
Jones's Wood. signor Cristeforo Buono Core was
kind enough to roast himself for their private graf
ihcation. neat little bower vas constructed oil
chip and brush wood, and gentlem IN, prob ably a
Young salam ander, and still In the blue state, set
fire to H. The wind was high, and there was soon
good blaze, hot enough to force the young Bsla-
mander to look red in the face. The old salamAn.
der began to make himself at bone. He stepped
into the roaring mass, walked leisurely among the
OF the structure and remained fixing and cooking
until the light material waB all con1umed. Whef-
ever the Mares we're hetcest he placed himself,
and although his helmet cracked and huge blstcrs
OF saline character bulged out on II, he himself
was safe and sound, neither spent IN wind nor
flushed In face. Such contrlvahee certainly
merits attention In humanitarian point OF view.
The Fire Department, In particular, should look
into the matter.

The most remarkable exhibition which we hive
had the good iurtune to witness for long time,
took place AT Jones's Wood on "wednesday alter
noon. Cristoforo Buono Core, who has created
great excitement not only among the masses OF the
people OF London, but also upon it's sAvAnts, APP
pesfed at JOnes's Wood at tho time named to give
an exhibition to select nuuber OF gentlemen OF
the wonderful merits Of a dress which he has In
vented, and which, he claims, 10 not only impeT-
body from injury, though the dress be In actual
contact with flame. Th,s he puts on, OF cnurFe,
before going into the fire, which is prepared ss
fol ows; Two iron oages are formed to intersect
eSch other, about tlteen feet long by seven feet
high, hut only tn ee feet wide, with Tour openings
or doorwAys. These c completely surrounds and
cnvers with light brentwood, which 10 fired, and
when the who's becomes, as II were, one body OF
flame, he enters, traveTseB the several narrow
burning avenues, passing in and our at each OPEN
ing with apparent ease and perfectly unhArmed.
soon after the wood had bseu fired the heat was
so g. eatth the spectator could not stand nearer
to It than eight or ten yards and at that distance
pertinent were perfectly sati ted that he could do
all he promised, In fact, he appeared to be the
only dissatisfied person on tho ground Tor tho rea
son that the tre was no. hot enough for him. The
exhibition will be repeated on Wednesday next
and the pro riStor OF the grounds has made liberal
prep arations for the erinymS nG visitors.
