A Common FaIIacy About Gas.

A Common Fallacy About Gas.
A common fallacy is that gas light
ing so reduces the oxygen content and
so increases the carbon dioxide of air
as to become dangerous to health.
The facts are that gas lighting cannot
reduce the oxygen content to a point
even as low as that found in many
Swiss health resorts and cannot add
enough pure carbon dioXide to APP
proach the danger point. Further
more, the New York state commission
on ventilation in recent Investigations
has proved that the chemical compo-
sition of the air is not the important
factor in securing sanitary air condi-
tions.-Thomas Scoteld in Engineer
ing Magazine.
