SAFETY Hook AND CAGE.-At the lm'


terday, we were shown a new safety
hook 10 be used for cage hosting pur-
r,ses. which is u little ahead Of any
thing VIC have yet seen in that line. 1t
is very substantially made, somewha.
after the style Of that used in pile-driv-
ing, and operates on about the same
principle. This, in case any accident
or miscalculation should ever occur,
resulting in the cage being hoisted to
the top Of the frame, the two prof Getting
arms of this peculiar hook coming III
contact with y cone above will be caused
to open by this means like PAIR VI
shears, immediately releasing tue Sas.
and passing over the shieve or "uee'
over which the cable runs. Inc cage,
90 snddcply released, would OF course
fan with tia load of human life or rich
ore we're il not also OF the safety pat
torn. Il Is very strongly built; and i'm
mcdiatelv on being released from the
strain OF the cable, heavy, strong steel
chisel points spring out on each SIDE,
hurying themselves in the wooden
guides to the depth of n couple OF inches
or more, efrcctually preventing all down
ward progress, let the load on the cage
be ever so heavy. This safety arrange
mcut is the same MS that now in use on
the cages OF the Savage and other ON
pauies, aud with such effective precau-
lions it is difficult to perceive how any
of those serious accidents could occur,
to which men are liable IN oS'ns holSs.u
