Another interesting result of t.
Brooklyn catastrophe is the series
experiments now progressing with ii
view of learning how to render theatres
thoroughly and cheaply fire proof. One
day this week the Fire Commissioners
received an invitation from Lester Wal

pose of witnessing an experiment con-
Quoted by Mr. Dion Boucicault, the en-
Inent actor and author now under en-
gagcment in his play of the ''Shaugh-
raum" This experiment proved to be
the rather startling one of turning an
immense gas flame upon Il lot of can
vas drop scenes and flies. To the great
establishment of the audience no per
ceptible effect was produced upon the
intlammable material exposed. After
long application of the flame the canvas
began to crumbIe and fall. but without
showing so much as spark. Mr.. Bnu-
cicault subsequently explained the phe-
nomenon by stating that the fabric had
been treated with some preparation of
soda which does not alter their appear
ance but makes them completely fine
proof. The invention seems to he Mr..
Boucicault's own. and is very practical,
the whole cost of protecting Il theatre
being only 800.
Still another effect of the same oc-
currence was shown the other evening.

''London Varieties" two boys entered
