LTFE-SAVING NET.
1t Will Minimize Danger IN Jump
ing for Life


James Ryan, q mechanic of No. 343
East Fifty-first street, has finished a
working model of a new device for the
saving of lives at fires. He claims
that the utility of the apparatus, which
he calls the life net or fire escape, will
be so conclusively demonstrated that in
the near future the life net, drawn by
two horses, will be an ordinary sight at
a fire.
The carriage or truck which will carry
the life net, according to Mr. Ryan's
description and the model which I saw
yesterday, will resemble an ordinary
truck. 1t will be constructed almost
entirely of steel, and will be light and
strong. 1t will carry a net thirty feet
long, and from six to nine feet in width
A secondary net will be stretched across
an opening in the platform of the truck
directly under the center of the upper
and principal net This is intended to
act as a reinforcement to the upper
net
The truck will be steered by the turn
ing of the rear wheels, and will have
room for ten men, though Ryan says
crew of four is sufficient to operate the
apparatus. The principal net lies fat
on the platform of the truck when not
in use, and Ryan believes the soft sur
face of the net could be used to lay in
jured people upon, after rescue from
fire. Thus the truck would serve as an
impromptu ambulance
Mr.. Ryan showed me that beneath
the platform there wonld be room for
six 30-foot ladders, and also for a wire
box that would hold fire extinguishers,
supplies and implements for use in
fighting fire.
When the truck with it's nets reaches
fire it will be run up on the sidewalk
directly under the wall of the burning
building. Two firemen will immedi-
ately apply cranks to a shaft running
across the rear end of the truck. By
turning the shaft four steel posts. one
at each corner Of the truck. rise to an
upright position. At the same time
arms hinged to the tops of the posts
extend upward and outward at an angle
of forty-five degrees. 1t is to these
arms that the principal net is attached
While the platform of the truck is
only five feet wide, the outward angle
Of the arms gives the net an addition
al spread of several feet. Ryan be-
lieves that it will be almost impossible
for the person jumping to miss the net.
He explained that the result of leap
into the net would be similar to that
of a circus performer landing in his net.
1t would, he declared, sag elastically
breaking the force of the fall. and
would form a bag from which it would
be we'll night impossible to bound out.
1.-THE present arrangements for saw
ing life by the use of nets" said Mr..
Ryan, "are singularly antiquated in
comparison to the Improvements that
have been made in general fire appar-
atus. They necessitate the attention Of
a score Of brawny men, whose services
can be used to better advantage else
where.
1.-THE new life net" Ryan concluded.
does not need any attention after be-
ing placed in position, and the possibi-
ity of injury by jumping is almost nil."

the time when the Franco Russian al
lance was the topic of conversation in
both st. Petersburg and Paris, and
naturally Terront, being a Frenchman,
met with an enthusiastic reception in
the first-named city.
The journey was a most meritorious
one, for the roads of Russia are reck-
oned among the worst in Europe Start
ing from ST. Petersburg, Terront, paced
by some of the leading lights of Rus
sian and French racing men, passed
through Luga, Pskov, and Dunaberg
to Warsaw, where the whole populace
turned out to welcome the plucky rider.
With scarcely any rest he continued
his journey through Germany and Bel
gium to the frontier of his beloved
France, passing through Posen, Ber-
lin Hanover, Liege and Namur
He ultimately arrived in Paris, and
met with an overwhelming enthusiast
tic reception at the hands of Partisan
cyclists when he pulled up at the Vel
odrome Buffalo. He had covered the
distance, some 1900 miles, in a little
over twelve days, and during the jour-
ney he had met with some startling
adventures Once he was fired at by
drunken German peasant, and on one
occasion he collided with pacemaker
and fell over steep embankment.

in the world one would expect to find
a sane cyclist, says THE Cycle" cor
respondent, yet at Nice recently we'll
known cycling instructor, Stanley c.
Hart, appeared as a cycling Daniel. He
entered the cage containing two of the
most dangerous and ferocfous lions in
Europe no less than six times On one
occasion he had a very narrow escape
The trainer had fixed the lions in a
corner of the cage with his piercing eye
He removed his glance for an instant
to follow the cyclist, and at the same
moment the pedal of the machine
touched the paw of one of the lions
who, with roar, wiped out half the
spokes from one of the wheels. But
the trainer caught the lions eye. and
the animal made no further hostile
movement.
