Can tlie Theater Fire Be Pre
vented?
The panic and horror of collision at
aea, with the terrible roar of theengulf
" ing water, is only exceeded by that
most pitifnl of calamities—the theater
fire. The very idea of the house of
mirth being turned into a holocaust
most appeal most strongly to even the
hardest heart. The painful accident at
the Iroquois Theater, Chicago, on the
afternoon of December 30, 1903.; when
nearly 600 people were killed and some
hundreds injured, is so very recent in
the minds of all that it is unnecessary
to dwell en the harrowing incidents of
that awful scene. Suffice to say that
the fire ia the third worst on record, the
Ring Theater in Vienna, where 875 lives
were lost, being the worst.
The question of theater fires has re
ceived exhaustive treatment abroad.
Out of 516 theater fires of which we
have record, 460 were burned in the
hundred years, 1777 to 1877. These figures
would now be considerably increased
The average life of an American tbea
rer at this period was only eleven to
thirteen years, but fireproof construc
tion has certainly doubled the life of
the structures. Strange to say, the dan
ger is only doubled during the perform
ances, owing to the great watchfulness
displayed while the audience is in its
■eats Mr. W. Paul Gerhard, C. E.,
writing in the Scientific American Sup
plement. says;
"The lives of people in theaters,
whether spectators, actors, musicians,
chorus singers, ballet girls or stage
hands, are. therefore, endangered:
"1. By smoke, fire gases, heat, as
■ pbyxia, exhaustion.
"2. By fire burns.
"3. By jams, knocking over, falling
down stairs, trampling, crush.
"4. By direct shock or fright.
"5. By accidents, such as the falling
of the central chandelier.
"The long list of theaters destroyed
by fires breaking out during a perform
ance. and the numerous instances of
j|,: ' fires breaking out during these hours,
bat which are put ont before spreading,
are proof sufficient that the dangers
apoken of are constantly threatening
the theater-going public."
(The third cause is quite as likely to
result in death as the second, and
•eems wholly unnecessary if proper
mwß are p ovided for a quick and or
derly exit. Mr. Gerhard further says:
"If only plenty of exits are provided,
•0 that, under all circumstances, the
whole audience, even when frightened
and suddenly thrown into a state of
high mental excitement, can leave the
. building inside of two or three minutes,
the fire-resisting qnaltities of the build
fag are of less consequence, as regards
I the Mfety of the persons in the theater.
In fact, a theater inferior in point of
construction, but having exits as above
* described, would be safer than one built
thoroughly fireproof, bnt otherwise not
well arranged and not provided with
sufficient stairs and exits, and where,
BP therefore, in case of a false or real
% v alarm of fire, or a panic from «..*y cause,
the people would be necessarily in grave
In nearly all cities the regulation of
the building of theaters is nnder the
building department, but the fire de-
should have a voice as well.
After construction, the theater is under
! > the jurisdiction of the fire and police
departments, who jointly look out for
the safety of the public, the police at
the front of the house and the firemen
behind the curtain. We might give
endless rules for the construction of
nfe playhouses, but our hand is stayed
when we consider that apparently every
safeguard known to modern science had
been lavished on this theater, which had
been opened less than five weeks. It is
credibly stated that large sums had been
r - spent to render the house immune from
the very enemy which destroyed it.
Still, the fact remains that one of the
worst tragedies of modern times, in
volving a greater loss than the Spanish-
American war, occurred in a "fireproof"
building in broad daylight. Whatever
may be the verdict which fixes respons
ibility, one thing is certain the fire
curtain most be so stiffened that no
draught can belly It out so that it can
bind or leave its groove. It must be ar
ranged so that it can be tripped from
the stage or the auditorium by purely
mechanical means, very strongly and
reliably constructed. The mechanism
should be designed so that in case of
any breakdown the curtain at once falls
to the danger position. Possibly a steel
girder spanning the proscenium and
working vertically in well-oiled metal
channels would be sufficient to carry a
reinforced curtain, whose edges are
anchored to the channels at regular in
tervals by steel guides. The fireproof
wall should l<e extended up to meet the
girder at the stage Possibly two cur
tains would minimize the danger. Wood
should be excluded absolutely from the
Stage, except where required by the
Scenery, and then it should be fireproof
ed. It is imperative that fireproof
paint be used, and that all gauzes and
scenes (drop and borders) be impregnat
ed with chemicals. Asbestos can be
freely used in properties, and wire rope
should be substituted for ordinary ropes
wherever possible. Accumulations of
scenery should be avoided, and dressing
rooms and all workshops and paint
shops ghould be located in adjacent
buildings connected by one fire door.
The most modern fire appliances, such
as sprinklers, should be provided; and
lastly the inspection should be eternal.
Even then, would there be any guar
antee of immunity from loss of life by
panic or fire? No; there is not; but we
could at least fesl that every human
resource had been exhausted.—Bci. Am
The Death Angel.
The Angtl of Death continue® his via
its to Butler, and the itir is full of fare
wells to the dying and mournings for
the dead.
It is hard to say farewell and look
your last upon the face of a loved one.
"Earth to earth and dust and dust' is
man's most terrible reality.
Then, too, Death is the great leveler.
All our distinctions of wealth and pov
erty, wisdom and ignorance, power and
weakness, beauty and homeliness van
ish in the gTave, and were it not for
that ray of sunshine- the hope of the
resurrection and an eternal life-one
oould well say with Solomon, "Vanity
of vanities, ail is vanity."

My Old Home In Old Penn Twp.
Today as I sit and ponder on the end of
all my ways,
There arose like a phantom, before me,
a vision of boyhood days.
I thought of my old home, the log bouse
that stood on the hill,
The brook that flowed through the mea
dow, I can hear its music still.
Again I thought of my mother, the
mother who taught me to pray;
Whose love was a priceless treasure, no
child should oast away.
Again I saw in my vision the fresh-lip
ped, careless boy,
To wnom the future was boundless,
and the world but a mighty toy.
I thought of all this as I sat here, and of
all my past life,
The pangs of sorrow are bitter, they
pierce me like a knife;
But it is the old, old story of pleasures
that end in tears,
The froth that foams for an hour, that
are tortnre for years.
And so, from the birth to the burial,
From the first to the latest breath
In crowded streets, in lonely steeps,
We all on go the death.

Bridge BalldlnK lirotlirrhood*.
It was In France that brotherhoods
for building bridges first took shape.
In 1178 a bridge was begun over the
Rhone at Avignon by Saint Benezet,
tlie heed of n body called Kratres Pon
tls, who undertook the building and
repairing of bridges during the middle
ages. A second soon followed at St.
Esprit.
About the same time Teter of Cole
churcl), the head of a similar brother
hood In England, began the first stono
bridge over the Thames at J^ondon.
In many cases when a bridge was
built a chapel was founded, to which
a priest was to pray for the
soul of the founder, to receive money
and to offer prayers with the passen
gers for a safe Journey.
The strange Gothic triangular bridge
at Crowland, over three streams, allud
ed to In a charter of 043, was built by
the abbot of Crowland, and Abbot
Bernard built the Burton bridge over
the Trent, the longest Jn England, 1,534
feet long, which carries Uu) roadway
over thirty-six arches.—London Globe.

The Eskimo arc tlie greatest of all
mask makers. During their religious
ceremonials they Impersonate their own
various gods, wearing u»usks for the
purpose, but the most curious Utlag Is
that they wear little masks on their
Angers as well as big ones to cover
their face*. These finger masks, the
like of which are unknown anywhere
else In the world, usually reprasaut the
sun. They lire of wood, carved with a
laughing or weeping face, and the rsys
of the uun are represented by white
hair from the belly of the wild rein
deer set around a* n fringe. Thi' sun Is
the most Important of the Eskimo* di
vinities, and the principal object of the
winter ceremonial Is to persuade the
sun god to come back from the south.

who was given to boasting of the large
Income lie enjoyed.
With the apparent purpose of Im
pressing those about him, the New

could toll he supposed hlw income ex
ceeded SIOO,OOO. "And I simply have
to make that amount," ho added.
"Why, with my expenses It eosts me
