The battle of Lundy's Lane brought

Appnratus for Firemen.
Few persons, except the small boy
who Is going to be one when be gets
old enough, realize the many dangers
firemen face every day of tlielr lives,
but statistics prove that only a very
small number die a natural death a
falling wall or other part of a burn
ing building generally carrying death
to some brave fire fighter after he baa
spent the greater part of bis life on
duty. Just think how often a fire
man Is called upon to enter a build
ing full of dense smoke, to rescue
some person who has already been
overcome, and the wonder Is that he
Is not supplied with some protection
for his own life. There does not seem
to be any reason why be should not
for Instance, wear an apparatus like
the one shown In the Illustration. He
could then with absolute safety to
himself enter any burning building,
wlth an added chanco of saving any
lives that mlcht be endancered. The
upper portion Is made In the form of
a hood or mask of alr-tlght and fire
proof fabric, to be placed over the
head of the wearer, with glass clos
ures for openings for the eyes. There
Is also n cap opposite the mouth, which
closes against air from without, but
opens for the discharge of exhaled air
which has been breathed. Reservoirs
which contain compressed nlr or oxy
gen for sustaining life are attached
to the back of the wearer by straps,
and connected by a tube to the back 0
the hood, with valves for regulating
the supply. The compressed air can
thus be readily supplied from the res
ervolrs to the Interior of tho hood, to
be breathed by the wearer. After en

Ancient Chairs.
Seats more or less resembllug stools
that Is, seats without backs were In
general use among nations possessing
a certain degree of clvlllrtitioii In pre
historic Umcs. What those were like
In the early historic period we know
from an examination of Egyptian
monuments, from a study of (Jreek
vases or from Etrurian or Itoman an
tiquities that are stored In European
museums. The Egyptian deities ore
seated generally on granite blocks, the
backs of which are raised a few Inches
only, giving a distant resemblance to
a chair. That the Egyptians had seats
more comfortable for domestic use Is
possible, but we have every reason to
suppose, nltiiough they iossessed a
high degree of civilization, that their
Idea of homo comforts was not that of
modern times.
The common people probably sat.on
blocks of stone or wood or SDrawled
about on the ground with some sort
of carpet that also served for a boil.
