washy to shorten Time.
L L. Saunders, of the Washington
Fire Company, has invented new catch
for the front doors which will materially
add to the celebrity with whicn
calls are resro ded. to. A plunger
is set In the track on which the chemical
runs. which when pressed by the ma
chine running over it releases heavy
weight. This In turn releases very
strong spring which opens the doors.
Heretofore the doors we're opened by a
rope from the drivers seat, and on a
number Of occasions the doors failed to
respond, and only by quick action was an
accident sverted. The new invention
does away with al that.
