Supply Of Oxygen for Firemen.


An experiment has recently been made in
Paris with an ingenious apparatus invented
by M. Guglielminetu and M. Draeger, by
means Of which 1t is possible to remain
without fear of asphyxia in places where
it would otherwise be impossible to breathe
The apparatus is automatic-that is it has
no connection with the air outside.
It is composed of a tube containing a pro-
vision of oxygen, sufficient to last man
for breathing purposes for more than an
hour, and a helmet of aluminium fitting the
head exactly by means Of pneumatic pad.
The oxygen is supplied automatically to the
mans mouth and the air exhaled is received
In compressible bag.
It passes through a regeneration with gran
ulated caustic potash, which absorbs all the
carbonic acid. A fireman, provided with
this apparatus, went down into a cellar in
which piles of damp straw had been lighted,
and although there was sunocating smoke
from this he remained in 1t for nearly three
quarters of an hour without being at all in
ccnvenicnced by 1t.

of only an 1s-pound pressure. as formerly.
The officials of the water department
anticipate that many of the old spigots on
water pipes in the various houses will be
forced off by the greatly increased pres
