Willard S Robbins, formerly of Sus'
sex County Delaware, but now residing
in Washington, D. c., has been de
tailed for duty in connection with the
installation and maiutsnce Of the geo.
logical survey exhibit at the Alaska
Yukon Pacific Exposition to be held
at Seattle, Washington, this summer.
In addition to the regular exhibit OF
the geological survey in the main gov
eminent building Mr.. Robbins will
have charge OF very interesting eXhi-
bitiOn in the mines building, known as
the "Draeger Apparatus, for use in
mine rescue work. With the aid OF
this apparatus it is possible to enter a
mine Immediately after an explosion
and when the mine is filled with smoke
aud poisonous gases and rescue anyone
partially overcome with gas The geo
logical survey has already established
stations in the east and middle west for
the training OF men in the use OF this
apparatus, but this will be the first
time it has been shown in the far west.
The apparatus consists Of an air tight
hood or head piece (similar to a s-a-
divers outfit connected by tubes with
an oxygen tank strapped to the res.
cuers back; the hood has a glass front
and permits the operator to see objects
by the aid Of an electric light which he
carries and it is fully expected that
many lives will be saved when all
mines are equipped with this, or SINH
lar apparatus.
Mr. Robbins had charge of the geo.
logical survey exhibit at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at St. Louis in
1904, the Lewis & Clark Exposition at
Portland, Oregon in 1905, and later the
James Ter Centennial Elk position, near (
Norfolk, Va, in 1907. He will arrive
n Seattle about May lst and will re-
urn via Southern California, visiting
San FraaciscO, Los Angeles, Old Mex
CO, New Orleans aud some Of the
