SINGER'S DRESS AFIRE.
M!S6 ROSINA BUCKMAN. NARROW ESCAPE ON STAGE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Kflcd. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. Fob. 17. Miss Rosina Buckman, the Now Zealand operatic soprano, was playing the role of Isolde at the Liverpool Olympia, when, as she was waving a torch as a signal to Tristan, her silk dress ignited. Luckily Miss Buckman was near the wings at the time and an attendant enveloped her in a wrapper. The flames were suppressed, hot the artist's dress was destroyed. Miss Buckman was not hurt, but she says it was a miracle she was not burned to death before the eyes of tho audience.
