Mr.. Fleuss has been giving at Ports

the merits of an apparatus he has in
vented for enabling persons to work un-

supply of concentrated oxygen in a
small reservoir which is slung on his

means of tube and mouthpiece, the
exhausted gas after being strained
through sponge saturated with caustic
soda, returns to the tank, the impure
ingredients alone being permitted to
escape. In this way he can remain I'M
