Fun1igation

Germs and insects cause man.
kind much trouble. A room where
some one has been ill with a con-
tagious disease or a room infested
with bedbugs or reaches gives one
a creepy feeling as if there were
devils about ready to pounce upon
anyone within reach. If someone
would discover an efficient gas
which would reach all portions Of
such a room to kill every germ or
every insect without destroying the
linen, the woodwork, the upholster-
ing, etc., a great service would be
done.
At present there are four
chemicals used for fumigation. No
one is 1000 efficient but each has
it's peculiar adaptability. The best
gas for general application is for
maldehyde. It has high germi-
cidal value but does not affect in
sects such as reaches or bedbugs.
Nor does it injure silks, linen,
metal, oil paintings. It may be
used in the richest apartment. For
maldehyde fumigation, then, is
most suitable for the destruction
of those bacteria that may linger
after the presence of an infectious
disease.
Sulphur dioxide is an insecticide
but a poor germicide. It is a
poison-gas to all forms of animal
life. Whereas formaldehyde does
not kill man and animals with Or
binary exposure, sulphur dioxide,
hydrocyanic acid gas, and chlorin
gas are very destructive and there
fore must be used with caution so
that mans enemies rather than
man will be killed. Sulphur doxide
is probably the least poisonous of
the last three mentioned. It's dis
advantages are it's actions on dyed
material as bleach, it's attack of
metals, and it's destructive action
on cotton and linen fabrics. Yer
min, however, are quickly des-
troyed.
Hydrocyanic acid gas is likewise
powerful insecticide but its ac-
ton is so lethal to man that it's use
is too dangerous. The best use Of
chlorin gas is in the disinfecting
of water. All Minneapolis resi-
dents are well aware Of this be-
cause an extra amount is being
used to prevent recurrence of the
recent typhoid epidemic.
