men and others to breathe when sur
rounded by after-damp, smoke from
fires on board ship or ashore or other
noxious fumes, has been invented at
Vienna by Chevalier de Walcher-Uysdal
and DR.. Gartner, professor at the uni
versity. 1t consists of an air-tight In
dia rubber bag containing first steel
bottle holding 60 liters of pure oxygen
ut pressure of 100 atmospheres, anu
secondly, glass bottle protected by
metal one containing 425 cubic cent?
meters of 25 per cent. solution of caus-
TIC soda. BY means of a hand-screw
outside the bag the oxygen can be let
into the bag at intervals as required for
breathing, while the turning Of an
other band-screw breaks the glass bot
tie inside and allows the caustic soda
to flow out and be absorbed by the net
work of knitted strips of dimity in che
bag. Then there are an India rubber
breathing tube, with a mouthpiece and
Two nose clips, one spare one. After
strapping the apparatus on to his chest
the user let's some oxygen into the bag,
breaks the caustic soda, takes the
mouthpiece between his lips, and
puts on nose clip SO as to
breathe only through his mouth.
He inhales pure oxygen, while
the caustic soda absorbs the carbonic
acid he inhales, and thus sets the
oxygen to be rebreathed. This makes
| it suffice for more than half an hour if
he is moving, and about an hour and a
half if at rest. In its satchel ready for
use it weighs four and half Kilograms
and costs only few pounds. Numerous
tests recently carried out by the Vienna
fire brigade and in the Silcsian coal
mines have proved its absolute eff,
ciency.-St. Louis Republic.

fattery, intimidation and appeals to
his self-interest. Gatewood was EN-
powered TO offer no terms but uncondl-
tional surrender, with the agreement
that the prisoners should not be muir
dered by the soldiers. Gen. Miles, he
said, would decide all matters OF that
sort when Geronimo should meet him.
The chief was very anxious to learn
oil he could about Gen. Miles, whom he
had never seen.
"Is he large man, and how does he
carry nimself?' Has he a bright eye
or dull eye?' Does he talk slow or
fast?' were some of the questions that
he asked. Lieut.. Gatewood replied that
Gen. Miles had bright eye and did not
talk much, but that what he said could
be relied on.
"As the conversation proceeded the
officer could see that Geronimo was be-
coming pleased and was beginning to
regard with favor the overtures for his
surrender, and the feelings OF their
chief were reflected in the faces of his
gaunt and hungry warriors.

I shall come and 60 in safety, will go

United States got too hot for them, and
they crossed the border into Mexico.
Capt. Lawton followed them, and the
Indians, pursued by our troops and the
Mexican troops at the same time, found
themselves in tight place.
This was in the middle of August.
1t was learned through a dcserter few
days later that Geronimo's band was
encamped near the town of Fronteras,
in the Sierra Madre. and that they were
exhausted by the fatigues of their
long flight, were short of food and near
ly out of ammunition. The Apaches
were trying to make terms with the
Mexicans on the basis of peace with
them, while they should be left free to
raid northward into United States ter
ritory. With Capt. Lawton's command
was Lieut.. G. b. Gatewood, of the Sixth
cavalry, an experienced Indian fighter,
who spoke the Apache language and
personally knew Geronimo. He volun-
teered to go to the Apache camp and
treat with the Indians for their sur
render. With two Chiricahua scouts
as companions he set out on his errand
in advance of the column of soldiers.
He was well acquainted with the In
dian character and fully realized the APP
palling risk he ran in trusting himself
in the Apaches' power.
THE Indians were encamped in an
old abandoned Jesuit mission village,
wall about it. On arriving near the
place Gatewood left his horse with the
two scouts outside and walked alone
into the village. AT sight of him the
Indians seized their guns; recognizing
Geronimo among them, he laid down
his carbine and beckoned to him. The
chief came forward and the two sat
gether, while the warriors waited in
cminous silence for the orders of their
leader. Geronimo's first emotion
seemed to be of astonishment that the
white man should put himself into his
power, and his first words were of SIN
lister import.
"'Are you aware of the danger you
run in coming into our campo he said.
You are foolhardy. Do you expect to
leave this place alive?
"Gatewood, knowing that his life was
in the balance, answered him with per-
feet composure.
Certainly, you can kill me- he said.
But would that be the act Of a great
chief toward one who has given him
his confidence? What have you to gain
by it? Our troops are coming upon
