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.

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.
