n WAYNESBORO MANS INVEN.
TION.

An invention that is attracting
considerable attention over the
country and being commended
by many tiremen and builders,
says Valley Spirit, is the produc-
ton of u Franklin county man,
James p. Lowell, of Waynesboro.
Mr.. Lowell no doubt actuated by
recent appalling fatalities of fires
in mills resulting from the opera
tives being compelled to jump
from the windows to escape the
flames, has devised fire refuge
chamber, to be built in connec-
ton with windows. The win
dows are often the only means of
escape in case of fire. In raising
these drafts are created so that
the flames and smoke soon pour
out of them, forcing the unfortu-
mates who have taken refuge ON
the sills either to jump to their
possible death below or to remain
and be smothered or burned to
death.
This chamber is formed of
shutters of iron, or suitable non
inilammable material, their de-
sign being such that when the
lower and upper shutters are res
pectively raised and lowered, and
the side shutters folded in against
them, q smokeproof chamber is
formed. In it one may take ref
uge and remain until the firemen
have an opportunity to raise lad
ders or stretch jumping nets
This arrangement etfectually pro
tects the one who has taken ref
uge in it until they are rescued,
unless, of course, the fire should
first destroy that particular part
of the building. The fact that the
window is thus closed helps ma
terially in preventing the spread
Of the flames. Besides, it is OPP
Grated from the inside of the
building, and thus forms fire.

placed in operation than shutters

THE PAY OF ACTORS.

Franklin Fyles, writing of "The
Theater and its People" in The
Ladies' Home Journal, touches
interestingly upon the earnings
of actors and corrects the oft re-
peated reports of the enormous
earnings of players. Salaries
vary with circumstances" he
says. 'The managers may find
at $25 week a player whose
moderate talent exactly fits a
part of considerable Importance
He may have to pay $3.50 if the
role is singular and fit candidates
scarce. If he wants celebrity in
addition to ability, he may be
willing to make the salary $500 a
week. In that case he takes into
account the public value of the
name AID makes a feature of it in
his advertisements.
"Not more than ten actors in
America, aside from the stars,
receive as much as $3.50 week,
and not more than five actresses
are paid this amount. In fact,
$3.50 week is exceptional, and
500 will engage an excellent hero
or heroine, fine comedian or a
delineator of eccentric character.
The wages run down to S75 for a
soubrette, ingenue or old man, to
$50 for an old woman, juvenile
man or juvenile woman, and so
along to utility and chorus men
and women at S12 or S1S a week.
Those are the wages of thorough
ly competent actors in companies
of good grade"
