There is no crime 80 prevalent, yet 50 generally
uupuushed and even uncensured, rs the reck-
lees lrihine with human lie No seems TO re-
heci on the enormity OF destroying q hundred hu-
man lives by sudden explosion or sappine and
wasting twice a many by slow but sure decay,
for the sake Of adding some paltry dollars to al
uueancd hoard already accumulated. In every
street, on every thorougmare msn-ir0ps OF one
sort or another are set by greedy ayance and
reckless ignorance which care nor prudence can
wholly avoid Steam powder, perpendicular banks
of earth insecure buildings, &c. are among the
agencies Oi destruction constantly At work but the
most universal and deadly Of oil is Foul Air
caused by the absence or nsuifcieucy OF arrange
ments or Ventilation
In this age and land OF liberty We suppose
man who srsR poison or stine himself and family IN
their own private dwelling must be permitted 10
do as he thinks st. but whoever constructs
a public cdfce. hail. apartment or convey ance
without providing ior its ample Ventilation is
homicide and ought at once to be put ON his tr'al

he has no right to undertake such wor~ without

Being on the train that left Baltimore ON sun
day night last 10, Philadelphia, We had striking
illustration OF the extent at the popular Ignorance
on this vtaly important subject of Ventilation and
of the criminal ADVANTAGE taken Of that ignorance
Ill ere
FIVE cars full Of passengers, each apparently
without the least provision for ventilation shut zap
as tight as a drum, aud its whole atmosphere
breathed over at iurthest in ten minutes aNef
which il WIS deadly poison yet IN that larger
coffin forty on fifty human beings drowsed and
stewed for four or i've hours, mitgated only oy the
occasional aud unwecomed opening OF door
Nay, in one case where a passenger endeavored
10 open q window, he was informed by the con

sufferer irom a deprsvci atmosphere succeeded
in opeaiug another window, barely a ha"d

fresh air dictated aud eniorced closing oi TIE
window in defiance of all remous,rances I'm
not too warm" was the ruling idea OF the lacSa-
nspes who eoald not imagine that any one should
desire fresh air except to cool "ii IN
Now 1t is very PLAIN that opening windows Is
no, the hes, way TO ven,ilstc cars or buildings 1t
Is often inconvenieni, unpleasant ami 10 many an

The provision Tor ventilation should therefore DC
