Testing CIark's Patent Fire Escape.

Yesterday afternoon six tests were
made OF Ciark's celebrated fire escape, nj
Pollock, mill, corner Market and Four
teenthistrcets. 1t was fastened to fourth
story window and was tested by several
heavy men and worked with entire salts
faction to everybody. The escape con-
sists of a spiral tube eight inches In
length, through which passes rope; each
end of the tube being armed with q ring
at each side for the attachment of q
sling OF webbing which passes beneath
the arms.
1t Is very light weighing but two and
half poundsl and ia extremely conye.
nient for travellers use, AS it can be car
ried either in the satchel or pocket, ard
has been tested to carry nine hundred
pounds. The fact that q number OF our
best citizens have purchased these escapes
is sufficient guarantee OF their merits,
and IN these days when there is con-
slant danger OF CONGREGATIONS in large
