IN TIME OF FIRE.
a Now Respirator That VIII Prevent Fire
mon From Being Sufrocatcd.

a breathing apparatus has been in
vented which is especially applicable to
hremcn who go into burning buildings
where tho smoke il dense and poisonous
fumes are thick.
This apparatus was recently exhibited
before tho chief OF the fire department
of New York, when the experiment con-
sisted of filling room with smoke pro-
duced from fire fcd with shuvings, tar.
sulphur and cayenne pepper When these
things lrad been burned, the room was
filled with black smoke, which rendered
1t absolutely untennntablc.
The Inventor attached tho rcspirntnr
to his back, and taking tho end of tho
brouthlug tube i'll his mouth entered tho
room with an assistant who was like
wise equipped They remained in the
room quarter of an hour and said when
they came out that thoy could have staid
in longer if desired
At tho conclusion of this experiment
the Tutoring material inserted in the res
pIrator for the purpose of clearing the
AR before 1t Is brcathcd into tho lungs
WAS taken out This mntcrial included
some cotton. and it was found t. bc
olackcnod by the impurities extracted
FROM the air
The rcspirator consists of three small
cylinders, the central one containing
glycorln. The air is first drawn through
layers of cotton wadding, some dry and
somo moist with glyccrin, and between
these are layers Of comeback, or ami
NAL charcoal
Tho two outside cylinders are filed
with these substances, and after the air
has been drawn up through them by the
breathing force of the lungs it passes
through the glycerin for final wash
ing. BY this time it has not only becu
cleared of smoke ;uti other Impurities,
but 1t has also been cooled and is in fit
condition to be breathod into the lungs.
