PROFESSOR FACES DEATH AND PROVES EXPERTS WRONG
Cambridge professor Sir Joseph Barcroft risked death for ten minutes by shutting himself up in a chamber filled with prussic acid gas, in an atmosphere which French scientists believed to be fatal. --
French experts had put dogs in a trench and released prussic acid gas on them.
In less than a minute the dogs were dead, and it was concluded that this gas would be equally fatal to man
But Professor Barcroft, taking a dog with him, entered a closed glass chamber filled with the gas.
