COLD OVERCOME.
According to the American papers Dr C. L. Dight, of Jackson, Pennsylvania, has secured letiers patent on a device called the Dight Thermal Inspirator, which promises to overcome the effects of" cold and make it possible to withstand the most frigid climate. The inspirator is a device to retain the heat from the exalcd air, which, in turn, worms the inhaled air before it reaches tbe langs. It prevents the loss of heat from the body, as it ordinarily occurs, through the breath. In a recent test Dr Dight entered a cold storage where the temperature was below zero, and, by the use of the inspirator, where the air reached the lungs it was raised from i 70deg. to 75deg. The inventor thinks that even at tbe North Pole, and with no other clothing than that of ordinary wear, it would furnish a constant supply of warm air, and he hopes to have it worn in an Arctic expedition which sails in the spring.
