InVEATS A DEVICE
SIMILAR TO HELMET

William F. Merryman, a carpenter
residing at Washington street. Denver.
has invented and patented a device
which experts declare may be safely
used to enter burning buildings, mines
subways tunnels, etc. Mr., Merry
man calls his invention respirator-
In many respects it is similar to the
helmets worn by rescue parties in coal
mines following disasters. The inven-
tor declares that the respirator is
more valuable than the ordinary he'll
met, since it may be understood by
the simplest miner and be ready for
use at minutes notice.
The affair is made of rubber and
weighs slightly over four pounds. It
consists of an oxygen tank, helmet
which fits over the head and two rub
her tubes for the exhalation of the
breath.
Several cakes of ozone. weighing
two ounces each. are placed in the
oxygen chambers. The first dis
charge of the breath causes the ozone
to evolve oxygen. thus maintaining
an automatic atmospheric adjustment
without physical effort.
The time limit for the use of the
respirator depends upon the quanti-
~ of ozone in possession of the wear
er. One cake of ozone will charge the
device for two hours. When exhaust
ed the wearer has only to open the
oxygen chambers. which can be done
while in smoke or gases. and sup
ply OF chemicals inserted, thus extend
ing the time.-Citizen.
