He will be here at eight this evening. If you rare to repeat a message, Mr. lilank will receive it upon his return. An automatic device., the invention of lVilliam Schergens of S-t. Louis, Mo., answers the phone and takes tl1e message. VVl19118V8l' tl1e telephone rings, the device answers. Then it waits for a reply. FIGHT FIRE BY FREEZING IT WITH f'FUZZ GAS The kind of gas that puts the fizz into your soda Water, carbon dioxide, is being' used by the Los Axieles, Calif., fire de- partment to freeze fires. It is carried under high pres ure in cylinders. When released it shoots out in a cloud of below-zero snowflakes that reduce the temperature and absorb much of the oxygen. from the air, thus tending to smother the flames. A special truck has been designed for the department to carry the battery of cylinders that form this latest unit in the battle of science to reduce the huge annual loss by fire. Some time ago a test of carbon dioxide gas as a flame extinguisher was made in Germany. Since then other tests have been conducted in several parts of the United States. Tl1e addition of the gas unit to the california fire-fighting equip- ment tis expe.cted to prove valuable in combating chemical, paint, and oil fires, where streams of water are of little use. AIRSHIPS T0 USE GASES? Tl1e new blimp of the United States Navy, K-1, the largest non-rigid dirigible ever built in America, is to be used as a flying laboratory for testing various gases as motor fuels. The engines of this blimp will drive it iifty-two miles an hour, and it will have a cruising range of 2,000 miles. The new airship will carry a container to hold experimental gases which will replace gasoline as a fuel. A mixture of hydro- gen and ethane will be one of the first gases to be tested.
