It has certain very novel fea- | tures, In the high reaches of the at- mosphere, into which aviators ascend, there is even in summer time cold so severe that the thickest garments of padded and fur-trimmed leather do not afford adequate protection, | The Negromanti coat is woven of threads which, both warp and weft, are electrically resistant wires coated with a fireproof insulating material— asbestos or silk, The wires are connected with a source of electric current (which may be a battery of accumulators). apd also with an apparatus which containg an aneroid barometer. The latter in- strument is assoclated with a thermo- static tube in such a way as to vary the electrical resistance of the wires composing the coat. Thus, because of the barometric con- tro' of the electric current, the.coat gives increasing warmth as the flying | = machine attains higher and higher al- titudes. The higher the aviator goes the more the heat furnished for his comfort by the garment he wears.— Philadelphia Ledger.
