A WOMAN PATENTS an INVENTION
Aud Shows Theatreyolns Men how to Put
Away their Traps.

Looking among advertisements for the
latest news a SUN reporter hit upon this:
E'oR sALE-one OF the greatest wonders of the age:
= isa patent for restaurant and theatre chair; 1t
change for real estate.
The value OF such an invention Is appa-
rent. What man hos not felt the want OF it
many times at the theatre? Nobody cares to
surrender canes and umbrellas at the door
and wait impatiently to get them back after
the performance is over. or TO check garment
in cloak room and lose his temper while
waiting to get it back Neither is it pleasant
to sit on an overcoat. especially If there are
things in the pockets. Nor is it nice to fold
your coat up and put it on a dusty floor, or to
have your hats nap brushed the wrong way
by tucking II under your seat, or 10 be bothered
looking after your traps all the evening.

The magnificent redwoods which extend
along the coast ranges from Monterey Bay to
Siskiyou. constitute, OF course. the chief timbeH
that the major part Of the lumber used In the
obtained. The drain on these forests has
necessarily been enormous. In those redwood
forests adjacent to San Francisco Bay and
lying In the counties of San Mateo Santa Cruz
Marin. Sonoma. Napa, and Alameda most ot
the merchantable timber in the original growth
has been removed long ago. Fortunately the
denud8tion OF these forests has not produced q
scene Of utter desolation, such as is sometimes
pictured In the mind as following in tho wake
of the lumbcrman'S axe. In tho greater porS
tion OF these worked-over forests, whero the
stumps have not been removed to mako way
for fruit tree or vine. the great vitality OF tha
redwood has asserted itself, and q dens0
growth OF saplings has sprung from the mutts
lated butts, and are rapidly approaching .
merchanta0lo condition.
The same phenomenon OF nature restoring
the redwood forests Is Witnessed il such parta
Of Mendocino and Humboldt counties as the
lumberman has already culled. An Interests
nincent forest trees is presented In the cnhons
on the east side of the Contra Costa and Ala
media county range. within II few miles q this
city and along the iorest-cad slopes OF Mount
TamalpaiS. and the ranges OF Sonoma and
Napa counties. The redwood forests on the
range east OF st. Helena. in the latter county,
supplied all the ties used in the constructtoH
OF the Nara Valley Railway, and the new growth
has been drawn upon for years past for po6te
and stakes for the vineyards and orchards
that are taking the place OF the forests.

TwentY-one Exits.
The interior of the Union Square Theatre
is being rapidly torn out. preparatory to con-
structing I'm absolutely tre-proot theatre on
most scientific principles. The ground floor Is
to be of uninflammable cement, the floor of tho
auditorium of iron; all the lath used. the stage
floor with the exception of the trap doors. all
the balconies, with their supports, and the par
ttions of each dressing room are also OF iron.
An iron stage curtain runs in q groove. and Mt
the touch Of an electric button instantly di-
vides the audience from the stage. A fire
might be kindled i'll any or the dressing rooms
and could not be communicated to any other
part OF the theatre. The entire stnge furniture
might be consumed and the audience not know
it. and u grand bonfire Of all the furnishings in
the interior could blaze away until burned out
from lack of material to feed upon. and the
surrounding buildings would be in no more
danger than as IL the fire were in Central Park.
Twenty-one exits have been arranged. all
exit for each aisle and the balcony stairs are
entirely indepenlent of those leading TO the
gallery. The old theatre could be enptied IN
Ia minutes at need, and even less time than
that will clear the new one In case OF an en-
ergency. The same luXuriousness and artistic
beauty will be lavished on the furnishing OF the
auditorium. more than $4,000 bein expended
on The plush and in the boxes alone, and the
decorations will be wrought by Matt Morgan.
