Spends Six Days in
Sealed Glass Case

London. March TO- Joseph Bancroft.
Cam bridge scientist, has just spent
six days in a hermitically sealed glass
case. supplied with quantity of oxy-
gen. required by aviators, at high al
titudes
The glass case is seven feet high
and ten feet in width and furnished
with a bed, chair and table. Bancroft
spent his time doing scientific work
and sleeping. Occasionally he took
exercise riding a stationary bicycle
affixed to the foot of his bed
Although nitrogen was continually
introduced into his glass chamber,
the air became more void of oxygen
until it finally approxmated that of
$4,000 feet aFiFide. At that junction
Bancroft began to suffer from vomiting
fits. lost his appetite. and was unable
to sleep.
When released, the scientist said
he felt badly shaken up by his ex-
perienCe but gratified at the tech
nical results.
Relays of University undergraduates
mounted guard in front of the case
while Bancroft was inside, to prevent
tampering.

Washington. March 1t.--After day
Of fruitless conferences in which sena-

The conference came to no conclu-

Another conference was called by
Senator Lenroot and included num-

gathering likewise came to an end
without any decision.
Following these conferences, dele

Democrats who want to have tha

senate the watson Simmons reserva-

measure.
The hill proposes to reduce the pres

evidences OF debt. the due date of which
is ten years or less from the date OF
execution. to IS cents on the hundred
dollars. The present rate is so cents
