When raising a ladder to sweep off a cornice, to hang a picture, or for any other purpose, one should know at just what angle to place it that it may be safest to him who has to stand upon it. A series of experiments described in Safety News has demonstrated that the greatest degree of safety is obtained by placing the ladder about one-quarter its length from the wall. This gives an angle of 75 degrees. I f the ladder be placed further from the wall it is likely to slip, and the weight of the workman may put ton great a strain upon it. I f it be placed close to the wall there is the possibility of the weight o f the work man overbalancing it and mailing it fall backward; besides, as he nears the top, his feet are likely to have insufficient room when projecting between the rungs. Safety News points out also that all ladders should haw their feet shod with points or rubber in order that they may take a sure grip on the floor and not slip. with a Circulation S O large that it reaches I t is doubtful whether “ I Pagliac- ci” could be other than a master piece, considering the circumstances in which it was written, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. As a boy, Leoncavallo (whose death was re corded some time ago) was present at a suburban theater in Naples, when he saw a thrilling love drama enacted in real life on the stage, while as in the opera, the audience applauded wildly what they thought to be intense realism. Leoncaval lo’s father’s valet was the rival lover, and was in the theater at the time. The actor sent fo r him and stabbed him behind the scenes. There was a further personal link in the drartm. Leoncavallo’s father was a judge, and it fell to his task to try the ac tor-murderer and to sentence him to 30 years’ imprisonment.
