stretched across an opening in the
platform of the truck directly under
the center of the upper and princi-
pal net. This is intended to act as
a reinforcement to the upper net.
The truck will be steered by the
turning of the rear wheels, and
will have room for ten men, though
four are sufficient to operate the
apparatus. The principal net lies
flat on the platform of the truck
when not in use, and the soft sur
face of the net could be used
to lay injured people upon after
rescue from fire. Thus the truck
would serve as an impromptu am
bulance.
Not only will the truck carry the
net and crew of men necessary to
operate it, but beneath it there are
to be places for ladders and for fire.

house. When the burning build
ing is reached the truck is hauled
up on the sidewalk, directly under
the window from which the people
are trying to escape.
The steel frame that supports
the net is then spread out, and all
is ready for the endangered people
to jump. The opened net is to be
nine feet wide by thirty feet long,
so that there will be no danger of
anybody missing it. While the
jumping is going on firemen will
stand near by and assist those who
have fallen into the net to get out
and avoid being jumped upon by
others.
Four or five of these trucks will
be enough to surround a large
building and guard all places where
people are likely to jump from. In
the event of the fire getting too
hot for the truck it stands to rea-
son that by this time there will be
no people in the building to save.
The truck can then be hauled away
and made to do duty in hauling coal
and other supplies to the engines.
The inventor of this life-saVing
net has tried it while in a station
ary position and found that it
worked like charm. He jumped
into it from the height of four
stories and landed with the great
est ease. He is not a practical
athlete either, and says that any
body else can do the same.
In fact there is no doubt about
the apparatus working under ordi-
nary circumstances. All that really
remains to be seen is whether or
not it can be handled under the
excitement of big fire, when all
is rush and tumult. There is no
doubt but that if the net and truck
are hauled to the fire and placed in
position all who Jump into it will be
sure to be saved from a horrible
death.
Odd as Mr.. Ryan's invention
may seem, it is nothing to some of
the freaks that have been evolved
in the past for the purpose of res
cuing lives at fires, and some of
the craZiest of them have actually
been adopted by the fire depart
ments of some of our large cities
and not abandoned until after they
had cost many thousands of dollars.
One of these freaks appeared
last fall, and, strange as it may
seem, caught the eye of the chief
of an Ohio fire department. The
idea was to keep in each engine
house large dray loaded with box
couches having padded sides ex-
tending upward several feet. 1t
was hoped that these could be
hauled to the fire and distributed
around the burning building. Only
one trial was given the scheme,
and then the only man who jumped
into one of them was instantly
killed.

In very short time there VIII
be put to the test in New York one
of the most novel inventions tor
the saving of human beings from
burning buildings that have ever
been devised. The principle OF 1t
is nothing more nor less than the
net that is used in circus rings
when acrobats are performing on
high trapezes and other dangerous
places. AS is well known, this net
is a sure safeguard against injury
to the person who falls into it.
There are Gases on record of peo-
pie falling from height of sixty
feet into one of these nets and not
sustaining even a bruiSe. From
the experience of many years there
can be no doubt of the efficacy of
the net. The only trouble has
been to have it on hand when it
was wanted.
James Ryan, who lives at 343
East Fifty-first street, New York,
is the man who thinks that he has
solved this problem. Furthermore,
he is a practical mechanic and has
secured a patent on his apparatus
which, if it proves all that he ex-
poets it to be, will deserve to be
classed as one of the greatest in
ventions of the age. Not only does
Mr.. Ryan feel sanguine of success,
but he has convinced the heads of
the Fire Department to such an
extent that they will permit the
apparatus to be tried at a real fire
and under all the conditions likely
to prevail when such a machine
would be needed. If it meets all
the requirements, and there seems
to be no reason why it should not,
it will surely be adopted by the
New York Fire Department and
become a part of the regular ap-
paratuS in all engine and hook and
ladder houses.
The principal thing about the
invention that makes its adoption
seem certain is its simplicity.
There is not a thing about it that
can possibly get out Of order, and
any man with the least bit of
common sense will be able to oper-
ate it. The wonder is when one
considers the simplicity of the
apparatus that nobody ever thought
of it before.
The idea of the new life net is
a truck constructed of steel and
capable of being drawn by two
horses, on which is rigged a frame
work, to which the net is fastened
in such manner that it is stretched
out flat. This frame is capable of
being folded up when not in use
and when being drawn through the
streets, but can be stretched out to
its fullest capacity in moment.
The carriage or truck which will
carry the life net will be light and
strong. 1t will carry net thirty
feet long ard from six to nine feet
in width. A secondary net will be

Washington, July 24.-The tariff bill
passed its last legislative stage at p.

cisive vote Of 40 to 80, agreed to the
