Fire Curtain Shutter.
It Is the law In nearly every large
city that all buildings over two stories
In height must be provided with Borne
approved form of fire oscapo. It It-
were necessary for the occupants of a
bumlng building to await the arrival
of laders carried by the fire department .
ment many of them would perish before -
fore they could he reached , or In their
torture would bo forced to jump to the
ground helow. Hence the wisdom of
compelling owners of tall buildings to
sllpply permanent ladders as a means
of escape from the flam os. III many
instances , however , the fatal mistake .
has been made of placing these etruc
tares across windows , and thus com-
wlllng } those persons attempting to
escape from a fire to pass directly
through a sheet of flame pouring omit
of the opening made by the breakIng
of time glass. To avoid such an emergency .

junction with all fire escapes which
must of necessity pass In front of ,
windows. The Idea Is to so place the
curtain that it will not obstruct the
light which enters the window and
will ! at the same time be ready to
close the outlet the instant a" fire
breaks out and the necessity arises
for using the fire escape. This curtain .
taln is hung In a folded position direct.
Iy over the window , and is suspended
so that a light touch by any person
descending the fire escape will cause
It to fall and shield people tram the

Wheelless Clocks.
A German has invented a new clock A. " ' .
system which has some original features .
tureH worthy oC mention. The system )
Is that of a master clock : which con-
trols electrically as many individual
clock installations ! as may bo required.
The clock ] ; : , which Is Installed In the
house or place oC business of the subscriber .
scriber to time system , Is similar to the
ordinary one inasmuch as it has a face .
and two hands , but the works are replaced -
placed br a couple oC magnets and a
balance wheel. The master clock Is
provided with a transmitting apparatus -
tus designed to be operated by the
movement of the hands. An impulse
is sent from time wires when the hands
of the master clock : advance one mtn-
me on the face of time dial. This Impulse -
pulse affects the magnets In the small
clocks in a such a way that the hands _ . .
-
are advanced the same amount as were
time hands of time master clock. This ,
operation Is kept up indefinitely , and ,
of course , all the small cloaks keep
exactly time same time as the master
cloc1 : The small clocks are inexpen-
sive and comparatively little current
Is required to operate the s7stcm.
The Invention Is In successful operation .
tIon In several towns In France and
Germany , and . Is at present belul introduced .
traduced Into England
