An exhibition was recently given IN

Loeb's appliances, which arc designed to
enable the wearer TO breathe and work
with comfort in dense smoke. and also IN
poisonous gases. Tie appliance consists
of a respirator with an india rubber
mouthpiece The rcspirator j. held by
two projections. which are grasped he
tween the teeth, and flangc. which lies
between the teeth and the lips. additional
security being provided by an elastic
band passing around the head. The air
is drawn in by the wearer through q
series Of small filters containing respect
lively wet sponge, cotton wool. cotton
wool damped with glycerine and animal
charcoal These filters are very lightly
packed. so that there is no resistance TO
the act Of inspiration. and they are pro-
vided with valves which direct the ar
expired from the lungs into the external
atmosphere. Tie entire apparatus weighs
less than a pound, and can be used with
out previous practice.
When il is to be employed in an at
mosphere which is deadly in its character
as in the choke damp of mines, the air is
drawn from some place where 1t Is pure,
through light india rubber tube. The
filter is then strapped to the waist Of the
wearer. and the respirator merely con-
tains the valves which cause the air TO
be drawn through the pipe and then TO
expire into the atmosphere. \ tube up
20 a hundred feet in length can be used
with facility. Protection is afforded TO
the ewes 10y a pair of spectacles with
india rubber rims which press tightly ON
the cheek and brow. and exclude all
smoke. Mechanical wipers are added TO
enable the glasses 10 be cleaned without
removal. 4 man wearing the respirator
spent half an hour in a building filed
with dense smoke Of a most pungent
character without any difficulty, and
afterward the inventors representative,
with the aid Of a flexible air pipe, en-
tered a room containing a dish Of burn
ing sulphur and remained there some
time. 1t was clearly demonstrated that
the respirator would enable the wearer TO
enter a building filed with smoke and
discover the exact ro,itic<l Of a fire. a
few buckets of water promptly applied
under such circumstances Will do more
good than the jet from a steam fire en-
gine directed at random On board ship,
where the result Of a fire IS to fill the

be most useful. and this fact has been
recognized in the German navy, where

The Wild West show was largely at
tended In the afternoon. The grand
stand accommodated the msjoritY oi per
SOUS, but many remained outside.
When the Deadwood stage cOa'l
reached the grand stand three reporters
stepped forward and occupied the coach
and, In company with Mr.. John Wilson
proceeded on the perilous trir. When II
was attacked by the Indians, who, a.
usual, were repulsed by the COW boys
Mr. Wilson was taken out apparently
lifeless, but, TO the delight Of those pres
emit. soon recovered, and his injuries
proved TO be not serious. He remarked
to the TIMES reporter that his ride was
rather exciting, but very fascinating.
Master Johnny Bigger and Miss LILY
Smith. the celebrated California girl rifle
shot, did some of their best shooting, and
were literally applauded.
AT NIGHT
In the evening the attendance was
larger than in the afternoon Most oil
the performances we've rendered with
their usual success, but the Indifferent
lights seriously interfered with The
shooting. Unfortunately early in the
evening several of the most important
lights went out and all efforts TO put
them In working order proved fruitlessi
and, to make bad worse. before the per
formances were half over more than half
the lights were extinct The success OF
the evening performance depends largely
upon the lights, and this matter sbOul'
be properly attended TO. To day the
lights should be put in proper order so
that the last performance given 10y
Buffalo Bill, which under auspicous cir
cumstnnces will be the grandest, may not
be interrupted.
The attack upon The emigrants and
Deadwood coaches were very spirited
and the last charge Of Custer was given
with better effect than on either Of the
evious reDdtions. The precipitstt
jurage OF the United States troops
their fearful repulse by the hostile lD'
dams, their enclosure and defeat by those
mounted appearing from ambush, is
striking and realistic scene.

How to Act at "a Fire.

In lecture before the Society Of Arts,
london. Mr. A. w. G.. Ghean gave tho
following concise and simple directions
how 20 act ON tie occurrence of fires. Fro
requires air; therefore, on It's appearance
every effort should be ms lie TO exclude
air. Shut all doors and wineOws. BY this
means, fire may be confinel 10 single
room for sufficient period to enable all
the inmates 10 be aroused and escape;
but il the doors and windows are thrown
open. the tanning of the wind and tho
draft will instantly cause tIe flames TO
increase with extraordinary ispidity. IL
must never be forgotten thai the most
precious moments are at the commence
ment Of fire and not single second OF
time should be lost in tacklint it. In
room. n table cloth can be 50 used "A To
smother q large sheet of flame, and n
cushion may serve 10 beat IL out. coat
on anything similar may be used with an
equally successful result
The great point Is presence of mind,
calmness in danger. action guided by rca-
son and thought In all large houses,
buckets of water should be placed on
every landing, q littlc salt being put into
the water Always endeayor 10 attack
the bed of FIRE, If you cannot extinguish
fire. shut the window. aud be sure to
shut the door when making good your re-
treat A wet silk handkerchief tied over
the eyes and nose will make breathing
possible in the midst Of much smoke. and
a blanket wetted and wrapped around tho
body will enable person 60 pass through
sheet OF fame IA comparative safety.
Shonld u lady's dress catch fire. let the
wcarer at once lie down. Rolling may
cxiinguish the fire, but II not. anything
