wise irrespirable, in mephitic gases as
we'll as in water, and, though this has
been done by number of devices, in
all Of them it has been necessary after
a short time, say an hour to employ a
pump to re-enforce them with air. But
in the arrangement Of the above named
inventors the appliance itself sutfices,
for 1t manufactures new air as 1t is
needed without the Intervention of any
auxiliary machinery.
The apparatus is composed of three
distinct parts combined into one.
There Is prismatic steel box to con-
tain and distribute the binoxide Of
sodium as 1t may be required, which IN
divided into compartments by ten hori-
zontal shelves, one above the other.
Each Of these carries supply Of the
chemical. With them there Is connect.
ed a clockwork movement which
causes each one to tilt in succession at
definite intervals Of time. This causes
the contents to fall into cubical steel
box containing water, and small fan
actuated by an electric motor operated
by accumulators produces continuous
circulation of the vitiated and regener-
ated air in the apparatus and in the
small space inclosing the subject. AS
the air becomes somewhat heated in
the process Of its regeneration 1t Is
made to pass in its exit through re-
frigeratory, which reduces It to Its nor
NAL temperature.

The Kitson OIL Lamp.

The Kitson oil lamp. which seems to
be meeting with some favor in London,
Portland place being now lighted by
means of it. uses petroleum stored in
cylinders partly filled with air under
40 or 80 pounds pressure. From the
cylinder a narrow bore copper pipe Is
carried to vaporizing tube over the
burners. When the cock is opened
and the burner lighted. the oil and air
which are forced by the pressure into
the heated vaporizer are vaporized and
are then burned as gas for heating an
ordinary incandesccnt mantle-like the
Welsbach, for instance. The makers

WILL ReoENERATE FOUL AIR


Novel and Important Invention Of
Two French Scientists.
It appears from an article In recent
number Of La Nature that some time
last year Desgres and BaHnazard
called attention to a substance which
Is used In dyeing and wl>eh in contact
with water becomes decomposed into
oxygen and soda. The substance is
called binoxide Of sodium, and In some
experiments performed at the Faculty
Of Medicine lately 1t was shown that
animals could be kept alive for hours
in closed vessels by regenerating tho
exhausted air with this chemical. This
led to the discovery that by throwing
binoxide Of sodium in small quantities
into water In a Theoretically sealed
vessel sufficient quantity Of oxygen
was disengaged for respiration, while
the soda simultaneously formed fixed
the expired carbonic acid of the air,
and that at the same time destrue-
ton by oxidation of the toxins in the
gas from the lungs took place.
Following up these discoveries,
Messrs. Desgres and Balthazard have
succeeded in devising an apparatus
that will insure life in medium other

tured celluloid ribbon of the required
width and transparency, coated on one
side only to an invariable thickness Of
one-thousandth of an inch. 1t is sensi-
tized in an immense dark room in an
absolutely dustproof factory. The
emulsion consists of solution Of BIZ
chloride of gold floating on great glass
tables 100 feet in length.
When dried, the film is wound on
spools in boxes, and no CLEAN of light
must strike it until at the proper mo-
ment it is held behind the camera lens
for one-seventieth part of second
then it must be guarded from stray
beams until developed and fixed in the
