shown by the following clipping from

One of the boys aboard our navy's
fleet has Invented a fire escape which
is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal. qbject
was to provide a collapsible fire ea?

conveniently arranged at the window
of a dwelling. It consist^ of ? . eon
telher'hlngcd to the sill tri such a
manner that by opting fhe window
and folding the container on Its hinge
the metal ladder may be unfolded,

gone through, a means Is automat

held at a distance from the walls of
the building. The. advantage of such
