PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE
Theatrical Manager Invenis Apparatus by
Which Stage May Be Flooded.

New York. Jan. 1s.-Another invention
has been perfected by a local theatrical
manager for the protection OF lives and
property In case OF fire.
Holding that all devices now In use are
inadequate. the manager has perfected
plan under which the mere turning OF
lever will cause the deluging of the stage.
All that is necessary he says is to sub
stitute for the wooden cross pieces of the
"gridiron" over the stage iron pipes an
inch and a half I'm diameter perforated al
regular intervals OF less than an inch.
Eight inch Headers" on each side TO
connect the smaller pipes with the two
5000 gallons tanks will complete the APP
paratus which within 30 seconds after the
discovery OF e. fire amid the in1ammable
scenery can pour out a cascade heavy
enough to quench the fiercest blaze.
The city officials are going to test the
apparatus and one theatre Is being equip
ped.
