SAFETY DEVICES IN THEATERS.
German Papers Declare Auditorium
Must Be Separated From Stage.

German papers, discussing the subject of
safety appliances in theaters, state that
the numerous theater fires of late years
have shown the necessity for separating
the stage from the auditorium, SO that
neither fire nor smoke can communicate
from one to the other. The presence of
sufficient ventilation to get rid of smoke
and poisonous gases is also imperative.
Recognizing these needs, says United
States Consul General Guenther, iron cur
tains have been installed in almost all
large theaters. Crticising their use, an ex-
pert writes to the health engineer ques-
tionng the dependence to be placed in
working them, as SO far no perfect contri-
vance has been invented. Hydraulic cleo
trio and manual power have been employed,
but experience at almost every theater
shows that from unknown causes the cur
tain on many occasions fails to move.
After the Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago
the police authorities at Frankfort, ger
many ordered the iron curtains to be low
cred once or twice during intermisslons
in performances expecting greater assuf-
ance of their working properly IN case Oh
danger. The order may be reassurins, put
the experience is fresh in the pubic nina
where the iron curtain at the Berlin opera
house was lowered and could not be raised
again. so that the performance mad 10 oe
abandoned. 1t is also questioned Whether
the rafting noise created by the lowering
of the curtain does not tend to alarm the
audience.
1T has been proposed" says the consul
general, ito make obligatory the possession
of two iron curtains to make more nearly
certain that one az least will work in q
crisis. Should both be used. all the better.
The expense for these curtains would PROP
ably be less than for the increase in the
number of theater firemen lately demanded
by the police. Where the construction or
the theater makes it impossible to install a
second iron curtain, an asbestos curtain
with an iron filling should be added This
idea has been advanced by Fire Director
Reichel of Hanover and it is hoped Will be
acted upon in the construction of new the
aterS
- THE expert proposes that there be
space of thirty-nine to ffty-eight inches
between the two curtains and supplied with
strcng ventilators at the top, so that smoke
and poisonous gases cannot penetrate TO
the auditorium. This space would also be
of great service to the freInen in fighting
flames"

HUMANE KILLING OF ANIMALS.
Description of Some Of the Appliances
Used in European Abattoirs.

The humane slaughterng of animals
for food is a subject that has engaged the
serious attention of the authorities of all
civilized countries for many years. Vari-
Gus appliances of a humane character
have been developed for the rapid and
painless dispatch of animals in such
cases.
"The most familiar of such appliances
now in use In many abattoirs in Europe"
says United States Consul Halstead at
Birmingham, England. in report to the
State Department, 'is the Brunneau
mask. A number of inventions have since
been made which have the same idea, viz
a hollow tube fixed in the center of a
leather hood to cover the eyes Of the ami
NAL but while the Brunneau mask has a
tube Enclosing a bolt which can be read
lily driven into the skull the more modern
instruments are gun barrels which dis
charge shot into the skull and cause
instantaneous stupefaction. AS the shot
frequently lodges in the vertebral col
umn and otherwise destroys the head for
practical use it is not thoroughly salts
factory.
"a new device in use at Putney is like
an ordinary single barrel pistol of large
caliber but instead of dischargng a shot
1t drives out with great force a bolt,
which has occupied the full length of the
pistol barrel, and this, entering the skull
of an animal produces instantaneous stu
pefaction, without lodging shot in the
brainpan to lessen the sale value Of the
head When the animal falls the opera
tor pulls out the bolt, which has pierced
to n depth of about three inches. and re-
turns it to the pistol, the gas from the
explosion escaping both by the chamber
opened to eject the cartridge before put
ting in fresh one and by channel pro-
vided in the bolt"

A Woman Lighthouse Keeper.

From the Chicago JOurnaI.
The Santa Barbara lighthouse has been
kept by a woman for thirty-eight years. In
1856 a lighthouse was erected two miles
south of Santa Barbara and President
Franklin Pierce appointed Albert ]. Will
liams to be the keeper. In 1865. near the
close Of the~civl war, Mrs. Julia F. VIII
liams was appointed keeper to succeed her
husband. who had died. She has had the
longest service of any keeper on the coast.
She has been away from her post only two
nights in twenty-seven years. and rarely
leaves the lighthouse except on Sundays,
when she drives to Santa Barbara to at
tend church. The tower rises IFS teet above
the sea level, and the solid white light can
be seen seventeen miles at sea.
