HAS LIVED FOR SIX DAYS
IN AIRTIGHT GLASS BOX
College Man at Cambridge, Eng
land, Submits to Oxygen Test to
Decide Controversy.

CAMBRIDGE. England. April Is (Cor-
respondence Of the Associated Press).-
Joseph Bancroft, reader Of physiology
at Kings College here. has lived for six
days in Theoretically sealed glass box.
The experiment arose out of a thirty
year-old controversy as to whether it is
possible to calculate the amount Of
oxygen in the blood from a knowledge
of the amount OF oxygen in the breath.
The test was also made to demonstrate
whether it was necessary that airmen
should have oxygen apparatus when
flying at great heights. 1t proved that
oxygen was necessary to flying men, but
it did not show to what height they
could fly with safety.
While in the box Bancroft kept a rec
ord Of his sensations and made scien-
tific observations. He said he suffered
from sleeplessness, but otherwise did not
experience much Inconvenience except
on the last day. when the atmosphere
BECAME extremely raref1ed. He then had
headaches and nausea He was watched
continually while in the box He took
food and slept in two small compart-
ments fitted up with wicker chairs. a
table. a small bed and a bicycle on which
he exercised every morning.
