putting out the fire, the apparatus opens
the front of the store, and the counters,
cases and shelving roll out into the street
into their owners arms
The shelving and counters in the store
are All portable and mounted on rollers.
Attached to the rear end of the shelving
is a cable which runs forward and over
q, wheel below the floor in the front of
suspended weights sufficientiy heavy to
overbalance the shelving, cases and goods
in them. A brake device keeps the
weights from setting the machine going.
Attached to the lever of the brake is a
combustible cord which passes upward
into the store and is carried along the
walls and ceiling. where it will be quickly
the cord loosens the brake, the weights
bear ON the CABLE and the shelves start
heller SHELTER for the front of the build,
ing. AT the same time the windows and
the entire contents of the store are
dumped ON the sidewalk in a jiffy. To
Illustrate the designs of fire thieves the
shelves fold up when they reach the
street, presenting only blank wood and
glass.
Those who have seen the apparatus
tested say that it works admirably. One
night a mouse found something .palatable
in the brake cord and gnawed it in two,
whereupon, much to its CONSERVATION the
furniture, boxes and shelves. with one
accord, began a swift movement forward.
and an automatic alarm attached to the
machine began to. rouse all the inhabloo
tants of Gowanda, the hour being 2
o'clock in the morning. The ingenious
inventor was one of the first on, the
scene, and his disgust at being routed out
by a false alarm was greatly mltigate9
BY the spectacle of the smooth working. Of
his machine 1t seems to be a good thing
and pushes itself along with no help
