A Bag Full of Breath,

The "pneumatophor. /" an Austrian invention for enabling miners. firemen, etc., to breathe when surrounded by after damp. smoke or noxious fumes of any kind, consists of an airtight rubber bag containing 8 steel bottle of pure oxygen at pressure of 100 liters and metal protected glass bottle containing 8 25 per cent solution of oaustic soda. The oxygen can be admitted by hand screw into the bag and drawn into the mouth through 8 rubber tube, the nose being closed by clip The turn of an. other hand screw breaks the glass bottle, allowing the caustic soda to flow out and be absorbed by knitted network in the bag to absorb the oarbonic acid exhaled, allowing the oxygen to be re. breathed, the apparatus being capable of furnishing oxygen enough to last from 80 to go minutes. as has been at- tested by numerous experiments.
