Mechanical Breather Revives Life in New York Hospital
A new breathing machine at Belle vue Hospital, New York, restores respiration for those saved from electric shock, gas poisoning, drowning, and other crises. The device places the patient in a hermetic chamber with a rubber collar, rhythmically altering pressure to simulate breathing, monitored from outside with a blood pressure gauge and oxygen hood as needed.

Candle Fish and Stormy Petrel Lamps in Arctic Use
In Alaska natives dry candle fish caught from the Bering Sea to use as candles for lighting in winter. A dried candlefish lit at the tail end burns three to four hours with white light and no smoke. The stormy petrel is similarly used in Shetland by inserting a wick down its throat to create a lamp using its fat as a reservoir.

Night Vision of Aviators From French Lab Findings
The French Medico-Physiological Laboratory of Military Aviation reports night vision averages 6/100 to 9/100 of day vision. Vision declines with age over 30 and reaches full dark adaptation after 20 to 35 minutes, guiding selective night fliers. Red purple dashboard lamps are recommended to minimize visual disturbance.
