It's Atmosphere the announcement
states.
"It is the great supporter of
combustion. In ordinary combustion
processes, however, air is used as it
occurs in nature, mixture Of
little less than twenty-three per
cent Of oxygen, seventy-seven per
cent OF nitrogen and small guam
titles Of moisture and several rare
gases. But nitrogen is the most in
ert of all gases and so takes no
active part in combustion.
Iron is obtained from ores by
smelling, process involving conf
bustion and therefore requiring
fuel and oxygen. With the advance
of civilization, the consumption of
fuel and iron has increased great
ly and has reached an enormous
total. Natures supplies of these
minerals are not renewed.
Advantages to be gained by sub.
stituting oxygen for air or enrich

metallurgical furnaces are great.
There are possibilities in other in

and city gas supply.
