I German En- Sineer T.,.-aMts Ladder cc

What Chief. Purroy OF the New York
f1e9 department regards as the best
thing that he has seen for aiding in eS-
tinguishing fires in high buildings OF III
saving the lives of persons imperiled
therein was shown to him recently BY
Emil F'iess, native Of Germany, who,
though for sixteen years resident Of
New York city, has spent the last two
years in his native land aiding the in
ventor Of the device in perfecting it
and securing patents.
The device Is not at all complicated,
being simply the application Of princi-
pies already usen known to mechanics
A substantial truck bears the fire es-
cape, which largely consists in such an
application Of the familiar joinred scis-
sors-like or double framework that the
outer joints or junction of every Sec
ond pair of It's legs are SO shaped and
adjusted that they can serve as sup
ports for platforms Of gangways, which
can be put up at the various heights of
the floors of inhabited buildings.
These platforms may then be dropped
forward SO as to come near to the win
dows Of the. burning structure, thus
forming q passageway FROM the build
ing to the platform on the fire escape.
| There arc two ladders on this, one for
ascending, the, other for descending.
| and the i1nperiled ones may thus de-
scend out Of harms way. Or if on the
| opposite side of the street to that OH
| which the fire is burning there is an
! other building platforms may be sent
out to connect with its windows, and
those endangered may walk safely into
| that building ard escape. If the plat
I forms att:!cled>to the fire escape are
not long enough to reach the burning
building there are provided portable
| bridges that are attached to the plat
forms and sent directly into windows.
/ In addition to aiding persons to es.
cape, these devices will be Of great
value in fighting fires. and lines Of hose
may be carried to any desired floor
and from the platform the flames may
/ be fought direct The device may also
4 be used in military operations where il
4 is desired to make observations from q
4 great height, as base for directing
/ search lights and heliographs or fol
\ wireless telegraph stations. -.
! The platform can be erected in foul
minutes to height OF fourteen stories

of cranks. 1t may be made Of any

REPRODUCTIVE BIRD SONGS
Novel Plan For Securing GraphO-
phone Records of Their Notes.

Novel Plan For Securing GraphO-
phone Records of Their Notes.
Based on experiments conducted by
Professor Sylvester d. Judd project
is mooted among scientific men to Sc
cure graphophone records of the songs
Of birds, the roars and cries of mann
mails and all available animal notes
Tor the purpose primarily of assisting
na ture study in American schools, says
the Saturday Evening Post. DR.. Judd
inaugurated the work by securing the
songs of several species of birds. Meet
ing with some difficulty I'm obtaining
the recording cylinder necessary for
his purpose, he succeeded in manufac-
turing one himself and then patiently
taught a captive brown thrasher to
sing into the horn. At first the sound
Of the revolving apparatus disconcert-
ed the tfhrasher Removing the record
ing style, the scientist let the cylinder
revolve indefinitely until the bird be-
came accustomed to the whir. After
a little the thrasher, known also as the
brown thrush, resumed Its singing, and
then the graphophone was adjusted to-
place the ornithologist controlled tie
revolutions of the cylinder by means
Of wire, shutting of the current the
moment the thrasher's song became
weak or faltering. In this way was se-
cured perfect record Of the birds
exquisite melody. Its volume and tim
bre were pronounced faultless by the
American Ornithologists' union, before
whose session the graphophone record
was produced.
With equal success DR.. Judd has
been experimenting with other birds,
and his achievements are attracting
attention in the scientific world. The
educational possibilities of the under
taking are generally conceded. Nature
study in schools just now is receiving
more attention than ever before in
history, particularly along lines of di-
rect economic interest. Now that many
species Of valuable birds are threat
ened with determination it is regarded
as especially important that the grow
ing genera ton be made conyersant
with American bird life. Students
taught from childhood the sounds OF
birds faithfully reproduced by graphic
phones in the schoolroom would be
able instantly to recognize various spe-
cies singing In the woods and fields.

back so far that even Bottinean got

had no museum they let Dunseith
have them. Then he gives Bottineau a

Interesting Results of Experiments
by Department Of Agriculture.
w. H. Ragan, the special agent of the
department Of agriculture in charge
of the experiments in the cold storage
Of fruits, reports on the progress of the
last year that some prevalent opinions
have not been borne out, by the investi-
cations says the New York Posts
Washington correspondent. The i'm
preston, for instance, that cold storage
fruit decays quickly after exposure to
outside conditions has not proved true
when the fruit was stored in proper
condition and maintained in low tenn
perature. say 80 degrees. II the stor-
age temperature Is much higher than
this the process OF ripenfng goes on,
md when the fruit is brought out it
soon spoib. Even well colored yet still
hard peaches, when placed in cold stor
age at a temperature Of 80 degrees i'm
mediately after being taken from the
trees, came out after four weeks in
fairly good marketable condition and
remained 50 for period Of four days.
Imperfect and poorly colored speci-
mems. however. soon failed on ex-
posure.
Il The temperature Of cold storage
warehouse, he adds. should be uniform
throughout The fruit should be placed
In it immediately after being taken
from the tree. A delay Of a few hours
or o few days, especially in hot wealth
er. will result in serious loss. Pears
should be picked at early maturity. but
apples keep best when well matured
and colored on the tree, but still hard.
Small packages, say about fifty pounds,
are better than larger ones. This Is
especially true of pears. The ventiln-
ton Of barrels and large packages IS
essential to the quick ripening fruits.
Wrapping prolongs the keeping Of
fruit, double wrappers being better
than single onea The inner wrapper
may be made of porous paper. like un-

Rams Win al Football.

The Kamehameha eleven, making
reappearance after five years absence
from the grid, showed up strong against
the Punahous yesterday winning in the
very beginning of the game by double
pass and afterwards holding their own
in a well fought even match.
Punahous kicked off at three O'CLOCK,
the Kams catching and passing to
their back. The whole Kan team ran
I'D the field with him distracting Pu-
nahou's attention when the ball was
snapped back to young Brickwood who
had fulfilled the new five-yard sidestop
move and flew up the field. Only the
Punahou fullback was in the way ana
the Kan interference disposed of him.
The touchdown was made and the goal
safely kicked.
For the rest of the game the match
went evenly, the Punahous successfully
holding back the more aggressive
Hams. The latter show up very well
and are a stocky team. They should
stand a good chance for the champion
ship.

THE NINTH AND LAST.
Forbes struck out. Woods secured
a base on balls and was advanced by
Kennedy but caught stealing third.
Kennedy was left on base by Wilder
who famed the atmosphere. It was
a good game despite the score. The
Punaelks were weakened by only hav-
ing one pitcher against two, though
Hardee made a good showing. Steere
who promised on Thursday to play
failed to show up and materially weak
ened the team. White played without
an error at short and proved that had
he been taken on the Elks' team at
the beginning of the season as was
talked of they would have had
higher percentage. En- Sue showed
