From the Rocky Mountain News of
July 20th.-Father Felix Meriano Lee
pore of Mt. Carmel church is an invent
or. Between the hours of religious
meditation he has found time within |
the last three months to study out prac- |
teal devices for the use of his fellow |
men in making life easier to live. |
Some time ago, he says he had a Wis |
ion in the night by which there came |
10 MIN the plan of a fire escape. 1t
was on the night when the Italian
church burned to the ground, and he |
went to bed with the subject of fires
upon his mind. The result of his deep
thinking was piece of mechanism
which is said to have a value of $780,
UuO. Since that date Father Lepore has
formed the habit of observing the ne
cessltles of life which are said to bear
a parental relation to inventions.
The fire escape referred to has been
patented and Mathews & Co.. of Buffa-
10, N. Y, have signified a desire to buy
the patent, representing that it is a
great Improvement over the old style
affairs and that it would bring $50. 900
in Europe alone. Father Lepore, how
ever says he prefers to give the first
opportunity of making profit out of his ,
work to the people of Denver. because {
I is his adopted city, and he will re- ;
rain from making contracts at pres
ent. The object of the invention is to !
provide an endless ladder, the speed of t
which can be regulated one by which I
he sick can be lowered, and combin-
ng a fire alarm +
From fire the Italian priest turned his f
Intention TO the dangers OF water. and |
lie has devised a unique life preserver, a
ne which combines all the comforts S
Il home, you might say. 1t covers the c
'ody and has an opening before the a
ace like that OF suit of armor. 1t is
% arranged that food can be carried
n 1t and a light in the front serves to Y
ttract the attention of passing ships. V
Another of Father Lepores inven- r
ions is a cheap invalid bed one that Y
an sell at $2.75. 1t is designed to en- o
Bile the attendants OF a patient to
aise or lower the head or feet without a
istrubing the sick one. "
Observing the needs of household life, "
'ather Lepore has invented a combina- / r
lg machine needle that can be IIIr-dd- +,

has offered the priest S10.- ST
