Father Felix Meriano Lepore Le-pore of Mt. Carmel church is an inventor. invent-or. Between the hours of relisious meditation he has found, time within the last three months to study oat practical prac-tical devices for the use of his fellow men in making life easier to live. Some time ago, he says, he had a vision vis-ion in the night by which there came to him the plan of a fire escape. It ivas on the night when the Italian church burned to the ground, and he went to bed with the subject of fires upon his mind. The result of his deep thinking was a piece of mechanism which is said to have a value of $250,-000. $250,-000. Since that date Father Lepore has formed the habit of observing the necessities ne-cessities of life which are said to bear a parental relation to inventions. The fire escape referred to has been patented and Mathews & Co., of Buffalo, Buffa-lo, N. Y., have signified a desire to buy the patent, representing that it is a great improvement ovpr thp oM ti.-i0 affairs and that it would bring $60,000 in Europe alone. Father Lepore, however, how-ever, says he prefers to give the first opportunity of making profit out of his work to the people of Denver, because it is his adopted city, and he will refrain re-frain from making contracts at present. pres-ent. The object of the invention is to provide an endless ladder, the speed of which can be regulated, one by which the sick can be lowered, and combining combin-ing a fire alarm. From fire the Italian priest turned his attention to the danger's of water, and he has devised a unique life preserver, one which combines all the comforts of home, you might say. It covers the body and has an opening before the face like that of a suit of armor. It is so arranged that food can be carried in it and a lrght in the front serves to attract the attention of passing ships. Another of Father Lepore's inventions inven-tions is a cheap invalid bed, one that can sell at $2.75. It is designed to enable en-able the attendants of a patient to raise or lower the head or feet without distrubing the sick one. Observing the needs of household life. Father Lepore has invented a combina-ing combina-ing machine needle that, can he tndd-tion tndd-tion pepper and salt cellar; also a sewed sew-ed by near-sighted an.: aged persons ".mom uimcuuy. i ne latter has not yet been patented. The cellar has two compartments, one each for salt and for pepper. The perforations are covered cov-ered with a half disc, designed to move on a pivot so as to open or close either side. The patent association of Philadelphia has offered the priest $10.-000 $10.-000 for this device. The issuance of patent papers for the life preserver is still pending, but the I fire escape is already before the people. peo-ple. Monday one of the latter will be placed on the Sacred Heart college building for its firse trial. The escape is made of insulated wire and is so cheap that one can be placed on a six-story six-story building for $22. I On the first page of last week's issue of the Intermountain and Colorado Catholic appeared in large letters "Laying "Lay-ing Corner Stone of the New Cathedral." Cathe-dral." Readers of this paper know thi. this referred to the Salt Lake cathedral, cathe-dral, but in "blissful ignorance" the I little newsboys called in a loud voice in front of the churches: "Colorado Catholicr Colorado Catholic!
