the production Of carbOnic acid gas
within us and more fresh air with
the necessary measure Of cleansing AMI
revitalizing oxygen must be available
TO offset the toxic effect Of the carbon
dioxide. Under normal conditions we
accomplish this by breathing quicker
and deeper, and we know how tired the
chest muscles become. But just pict-
ure the difference when the air is de
ficient in this animating element!
Then the lungs take in larger quaint
ties of the impoverished air; they OK
pand more and work faster, and the
faster they inhale and eXhale the heaV-
Ter becomes the chain of exhausting
consequences. IT is in the excitement
Of this struggle that men lose their
heads like the drowning, and they in
crease their peril by doing the wrong
thing in handling the controlling faciii
ties at their command. If in balloon
they may mistakenly cast away bal
last; Sand higher and more menacing
the airship shoots skyward. Or, what
may be quite as disastrous in its con
sequences, the partly delirious aero
naut may pull the ripping cord, letting
out too quickly the buoyant isas, and
earthward plunges the balloon to GER
tain destruction.
The problem has been to evolve an
oxygen generating appliance which,
while light and compact, would produce
for a considerable period a sufficient
supply of the lifegiving. gas at the
greatest heights reasonably attainable.
To Draeger and his associates is due
the credit for having successfully
evolved an efficient equipment, and il
is Of the Draeger apparatus that we
have to tell.

n ECENTLY three scientihcaliy
disposed aeronauts Of France
rose TO height of nearly $1,000
feet and returned to earth none the
worse for their amazing experience!
Nearly four decades earlier-to be eX-
act. April 10. 1S15-three other ava
tors assembled from France TO an alti-
tude Of 26,246 feet, and only one OF
them survived that venture into the
depths Of the sky. Even so, lifelong
deafness was the penalty he paid. His
unfortunate companions were smoth-
cred 10 death for want of sufficient
oxygen 10 keep them alive at that dizzy
height. The story we have to tell, thea,
is what has lately been done to make
human exploring Of the upper air both
possible and safe-diving, so to speak,
into the deep Of our atmospheric ocean.
Two very ingenious German inven-
lions are making it possible for the
airmen to soar far higher aloft, and it
is Of these and their possible applica-
ton that we have TO tell.
ASCENT IN THE ZENITH WITH
OXYGEN BALLOONS.
Don't imagine that Tissandier and his
two unfortunate companions, Sivel and
CroceSpinelli, were not alive to the
physical conditions they had to face in
the sky. they made provision for their
ascent in the Zenith in 1879, and car
ried with them three small balloons
charged with oxygen upon which they
were TO draw at the proper time But
these failed to suffice, and Tissandier
survived only by the slimmest margin.
That happened years before steel tanks
Tor storing compressed air and other
gases had been perfected. To-day oxy-
gen can be crowded into cylinders OF
this metal until the pressure is $50
times that Of the atmosphere at sea
level, or equal TO a pressure Of $3.50
pounds to the square inch.
Most Of us imagine that we forcibly
draw in the air at each inspiration. but
this is really not the fact-the muscles
for the operation being decidedly weak
and we must keep this fact in mind.
When the rather feeble respiratory
muscles expand the lungs the already
contained air expands in turn, and in
doing this partial vacuum is created.
AS result the external atmosphere Of
greater pressure crowds in to fill the
space and to restore the pneumatic bull
anct. so to speak. The muscles con-
trolling expulsion are more powerful,
as you can easily prove. The mainten-
ance Of life and consciousness, then,
depends principally upon the weaker
respiratory function.
Now, every muscular effort increases

Historically speaking, Miss Eleanor

the history Of the White House that
the weddings Of two daughters of a

greater interest 10 the coming event is
the fact that she will stand beneath
