New Compact Fire ESCAPE.

One Of the boys aboard our navy's
Meet has invented fire escape which
Is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object was
to provide n collapsible FIRE escape
which could be compacted and CON
veniently arranged at the window of n
dwelling. 1t consists OF contniner
hinged to the sill In such manner
that by opening the window and fold
Ing the container on Its hinges the
metal ladder may be unfolded and
dropped. When this operation is gone
through, a means is automatically pro-
yided whereby the ladder is held at a
distance from the walls of she build
ing. The advantage of such precaution
is obvious.
