Moving Stairs For Waiters.

It is a strange fact that one of the greatest conveniences possible in the working mechanism of a hotel Is being successfully Introduced in foreign hotels and, although manufactured in New York, Is only beginning to be heard of in the United States. It is known as an escalator and is a moving runway or stairs for carrying the waiters from the level of the kitchen to upper dining rooms. Less than a year ago one of them was shipped to a leading hotel In Stockholm, Sweden, and some time later another to a hotel in Buenos Aires. Others are being prepared for shipment to hotels in Europe.—Popular Mechanics.
