Olefiant gas asses with as much facility. As hydrogen, and twice as rapi y as carbonic oxide and common air. Carbonic acid escapes much more rapidly than gases inferior to it in density. Analo ous results are obtained even under consider able pressures w en the caliber of the tube is sufficiently dimi nished.
