PURE AIR WITHOUT DRAFTS.

The scientific world is at present
standing with uncovered head in the
presence of two French chemists
who have discovered that air can be
purified and repurified indefinitely
by the presence of bioxide Of
sodium. These scientists, Drs.
Desgrez and Balthazard, shut few
mice up in a closed jar and forgot
them for few days. As the mice
were found alive at the expiration
of that time, the chemists at once
cast about for the magic cause and
found that small block of bioxide
of sodium had been left in the jar
with the mice. The application of
this new discovery to uses on both
land and sea is endless. 1t will
simplify submarine navigation, and
the divers helmet will be lined with
the chemical which is nothing if not
an air scavenger. Wherever car
bonic acid is present bioxide of
sodium fastens on it to get at the
carbon and combine it. Incl
dentally a proportionate quantity Of
pure oxygen is set free. The use OF
the chemical in mines and hospitals
will supply both places with fresh
air. Its use in the sleeping roof in
the winter time will produce an even
temperature and reduce the coal bills,
and its use in connection with other
conveniences will prevent suffoca-
ton in the event of being buried
alive.-Exchange.
