THE CENTENNIAL MEDAL !!
The Truth at Last /!
HOWE MACHIN E
Again Triumphant!

At the 45th Exhibition of the American
Institute Fair in this city, the Howe Ma
chine was recommended by the judges.
and approved by the unanimous vote
the Board of Managers, for the GREAT
GoLD. .sCENTENNIAL MEDAL" under the
following rules:
.sThis Medal tof gold) is to be awarded
only for machine, product, or process,
exhibited this Centennial year at the 10Th
Exhibition of the American Institute of
the city of New York. 1t can be awarded
only for a machine, product, or process, Of
great value, decided importance, and OF
more than usual merit !; and then only by
majority of the whole Board of Trustees,
upon the written report Of three judges.
whose report shall certify to the above
requirements, and after said report shall
have been approved by majority OF the
whole Board of Managers.
1t will be thus seen that the Howe
still leads all competitors-and we chal-
lenge all Sewing Machine Companies in
the land to produce an award OF like ex-
.celIence received in this CENTENNIAL
YEAR.

Among the things most required
in these days of tall buildings and
narrow places ofentrance and exit,
are means of escape in case of fire
for those who occupy the upper
apartments. Apparatus for this pur-
pose should be compact, portable,
and yet strong and reliable. To en-
body these desirable qualities in a
single device has been the aim OF
the inventor whose fire escape is
shown in the accompanying engrav-
ing.
The iron frame, A, which supports the Sc
veral parts of the machine is secured III a
washstand or some other suitable piece Of
furniture, which is placed upon casters,
and made OF sufficient weight and strength
to suit the purpose. a double drum, Is, Is
iournalcd to the frame, A, and two ropes,
rope ladders, or chains are attached there
to, one III each groove of the drum. It
these ropes or chains adjustable seats are
suspended by means of hooks.
When the drum, B, is revolved it imparts
through the medium of the gear wheels al
increased motion to the shaft, C, which IL
turn. by means of cranks, D. and e, OF IN
equal radius, imparts rocking motion tt
| the shaft. T, that carries the pendulum OF
weight, H, which may be screwed up O
down ON the rod to regulate the rotary
motion of the drum, B. Screwlng up Tn
weight toward the shaft, +, Will permit IN
drum, B. to run with an increased velocity
screwing the weight down produces tn
opposite effect. By means OF this devic'
Pioneer of Assumption. (Napoleonville [La.]) 185?-1895, 1879-11-29

the apparatus may be adjusted to any
weight that is to be put upon the ropes or
chains, or to any required velocity.
4 iointed folding frame, |, is hinged to
the ton of the frame, \, and supports two
rollers at its outer end.
In case of emergency the washstand is
rolled to some convenient place, say VIM
dow or a balcony, and if time permits the
folding frame, ], is made to project over
the window sill or balcony. The end OF el-
ther of the ropes wound on the drum IS un-
ilooked, and the imperiled person passes
the rope first over one OF the loose pulleys
in the iointed frame, then passes 1t around
his body, hooks it, and lets himself down
easily and safely. BY this time, II there are
other inmates exposed, seeonG' one un-
hooks the end of the other rope, and also
lowers himself to the. ground, and in SO
doing causes the drum to wind up the first
rope. ready torepeat the operation il. favor
of n third occupant, all so on. Every person
descending winds one of the ropes ON the
drum. and thus prepares the machine trr
another. Should it be required, a liae with
a weight at one end may be provided III
| the apparatus, which may be attached by
one end to q hook on the pendulum rod.
while the end carrying the weight Is le'
down upon the pavement. BY means OF this
line so connected with the pendulum rod.
persons descending will be enabled to check
/ their eescent at will. But while this may
be very convenient when time enough is
allowed, and calm and order prevail, yet
1.-The apparatus is so constructed that III
pressing emergencies no time is required
lbut what is strictly necessary to roll the
stand in some suitable place, take hold OF

the end of one rope, and let ones sell
down, that is, few seconds at most.
In addition to the above mrnIion-
ed advantages, the apparatus herein
described will be found Of great
service to facilitate the ascension OF
outsiders into buildings in confia
grafton, for the purpose OF affording
assistance, putting out fires, saving
yalnables, etc. dt will also be found
safe and oonvenientauxiliary to
masons engaged in erecting isolated
chimneys, to ascend and descend.
From the above it will appear OBJ
vious that the apparatus just de-
scribed possesses particular merits,
which can hardly fail to command
the attention of hotel keepers, own
els or managers of large factories,
theatres, Sc, and of all true" phi
lanthropists generally.
Among its chief merits may be
mentioned :-eompactness, simpli
city, cheapness, comeiiness, all
readiness, strength, reliability com
fort, and above all the PERFECT
SAFETY with which the most
Nervous or unskilled persons may
avail themselves of it in pressing
emergencies. With such an appara-
ltus at hand, everybody will feel
personally secure against danger
from fire.

TO LOUISIANIANS.

The publishers of the NEW ORLEANS
TINES wish especially at this time that
every citizen of this State should be a sub
scriber or reader of the TIMES. Questions
of the greatest Importance to Louisiana

drafting an organic law for adoption to
replace the present. constitution, anu
which it is hoped will radically reform
those fearful abuses, wastefnl extrayagan-
cies and gross injustices which have been
nurtured by it and have grown up under
it. The snhject of restrictive quarantine as
to its efficacy in preventing the introduce
tion OF the scourge of yellow fever and It's
acknowledged blighted eff. cts upon the
business and prosperity OF the city OF New
Orleans and the, State. is now engrossIng to
Ii large extent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as laboY immigration, rail-
road communications with our neighborlng
State of Texas, removal of the State capl-
| tai. etc.. demand constant consideration
| and discussion.
| The publishers of the TIMES, refer with
pride to the position taken by the TINES

SAFETY LAMP
Perfect Safety Lamp.

Every danger that can originate from
Kerosene Oil, when it is in the bowl of
the lamp, must occur from one or two
causes. viz:
1-VI0LENT ACCIDENT!-Dropping
a lamp; turning lamp over dragging Il
lamp off the table filing lamp while it
is lighted blowing down the chimney to
extinguish the light.
z. 2.-SPONTANEOES EXPL0SIONl =
The burner becomes HOT and gradually
acts on the oil until by process of distil-
la ion the GAS or yAPoR ;tecumHlltes. This
must escape-by passing up the wick-tube
and igniting with the tame-becoming
when the wick fits too tigAt) too strong
for the strength OF the lamp-atwl and then
a violent explosion occurs by the expansive
lorce of the oil gas.
How the Rhfnd Safety Lamp Over.
comes these TWO Great Causes OF
Explosion.
FIRST, by a tube passing through the bowl
of the lamp. the colar Of which being con-
neeted with weight must fall by the law
I o. gravity when the lamp is turned beyond
the angle of 10 degrees. This mechanical
action closes the extingrlisher whenever
any of the dangers occur mentioned under
the head VIOLENT ACCIDENT.
Second, by the shape of the chimney,
which has parallel sides bounded by
straight sides, thus keeping the BURNER
COOL by forcing a continual draught of
cold air over it, If the burner is always
cool, no heat exists to act ON the oil i'll the
bowl of the lamp, and as heat is the prin-
cipal generator OF gas. this being remov' d
/ by the structure OF the. burner and chinl,
lney,s it follows that SPONTANEOUS ExPLo-
sIoN of the oil is IMPOSSIBLE in the RHIND
tSAFETY LAMP, because the conditions of
such a catastrophe are removed sby inva-
riable causes.
Light and Safety to Common Lamps i.
! By the use of. our burner (which fits all
lamps except the German study, J the ex-
ltinguisher gives to a haf-ineh wick the
flame of anAArgand Burner which burns q
wick three times as large-this is effected
by making the resistance less in the direc-
ltion of the spreaders and the air gushing
lin presses the fame into q fan shape.
Again, by using the chimney with our
burner you still have the cool burner, and
hence, for reasons mentioned above, can
never have a spontaneous explosion. Lastly
the danger from blowing down the chimney
is obviated by the extinguisher.
