The nrial ladder, the fall of which killed
three firemen at New York on the 4th. is a
device in common use on the continent If
Europe, and it is unfortunate that such
disaster should mark its introduction into
this country. 1t is an apparatus of ex-
tendible ladders to Il carriage and to an
apparatus for hosting. without LEANING
them against Il building. The fatality was
due to the slencerness of the ladders them
selves, which were of the common con-
struction, whereas for such purpose they
need to be ofmuch greater strength. There
was probably some recklessness in its use.
but the continental ladders are made Of
sufficient strength to hold their full capaci-
ty of men. 1t was simply another instance
of the American practice of sacriicino
strength to lightness.
