NOvELFIREE EXPERIMENT
Russian Theater Will Be Burn
ed to Solve Safety Problem.
SHEEP AND RABBITS THEAUDIEN0E
II Commission In st. Petersburg VIII
Build an Experimental Moder
FireprOOf Theater-Escapes of the
Animals to BE Computed and Filed
with other Data Obtained.

A sensational and novel fire test to
determine the actual amount OF pro.
lection afforded by a '%ireproof' thea
ter is to be made in st. Petersburg by
the commission appointed some time
ago to investigate and report on the
protection of audiences from fire In
theaters, says the New York Journal.
In order to gain the knowledge 1t
seeks the commission will build an
experimental modern fireproof theater,
install an audience of sheep and rab-
bits and as the climax of a series OF
fire tests burn the entire structure
down.
The government is bearing the ex-
pense of the experiments.
The theater is to have it's due pro-
portion Of inflammable furniture, gal
leries, seats, scenery, drop curtains,
etc. and is to be provided with an as
bestus curtain.
Fires will be started on the stage, in
the wings and in the flies, and an eft
fort will be made to initiate the great
theater fires of the world, including the
recent Chicago disaster. A large fire
department will be in attendance to in
sure the conf1agration goes no further
than is necessary for the purpose OF
each experiment until the last, when
the structure will be allowed to burn
with all the animals that do not as
cape by the regular exits:
The proportion Of such escapes will
be computed and filed with the rest of
the statistics and data that will be OBJ
tanned.
To the objection that the animals
will not give a true parallel to a hui
man audience the scientists on the COM
mission reply that they will approach
the desired condition more closely than
laymen think, as an audience in a
panic is oblivious to printed signs, cal
lous to injuries or the rights of others
and intent only on rushing out of the
theater-in other words, that a human
audience unframed to emergencies, un-
der the influence of fear and in the
presence of deadly danger, does not act
with human intelligence.
The results Of the investigation are
to be embodied in q volume and made
public, and a code for the government
Of theaters and other buildings In
which many persons are gathered is
to be drawn up, the provisions Of which
are to be based on the findings of the
commission.

her needs she could be induced to
agree to pay immense bonuses. These
trusted and respected bank officials
