Smoke Asphyxia.

Asphyxia, my dear children, Is one
of those confused or confusing words
derived from the ancient Greek. It
means without pulse literally. but we
know more than the old Greeks did.
If do say it as shouldn't. and every
schoolboy today knows that asphyxia
means snothering..
Firemen who are overcome by
smoke. suffer, with asphyxia. They
are poisoned by carbon monoxide gas
in the smoke This carbon monoxide
is the poisonous element in illuminat-
ing gas, in the exhaust from an
automobile, in coal gas escaping from
a stove or furnace into an apartment
with no open air vents, and in the
mine damp after the use of dynamite
or other explosives. Carbon monoxide
gas Is colorless, odorless and taste
less, so the victim scarcely realizes
that anything is happening until he
becomes frozen" and helpless.

he loses consciousness. But the gas.

the number OF seconds or minutes the
