purpose Of taking into consideration the new

As this is 8 matter which Involves the interests
Of the whole city, we trust that every member o.
the Board will be at his post. Not only grain deal

men hare their interests at stake, and We trust
they Will not be absent when their votes are need
ed to protect the general business of the city from
being damaged
Among the commission dealers-1eceiyers n
well as shippers-there is very strong feeling in
favor Of the abolition Of the inspection of grain
They seem satisfied that lite perversion has proYe1

Auttan,g Patent Duster and Ventf-
II lator.
It has always been motto Of the Michigan
C:ntrut Railroad Company to leave nothirg
u1donc which shall secure the comfort and
convenience Of their travelling patrons, and in
the furthefance Of this contamination hitherto
no pains or expense have been spared. They
have capped the climax now by the applica-
tjon of st Rutt4n's Busters and Ventilators''
to their passenger coaches, which secure to
the traveller perfect impnnlty from dust and a
constant supply Of fresh air without the dis
comfort Of draft through an open window.
The contriyance has been recently patented,
and We think is only used by the Central Road.
On the top Of the car there is selfregulatlng
bonnet or receiver, into which the air Is gath
cred and conveyed by means Of tubes on each
side OF the car into reservoir OF bed Of water,
about fifteen feet long and six inches deep,
underneath the car, where al the dust, ashes
and smoke are taken out; the air thus purified
passes through dues on each side Of the car
and emitted through registers so adjusted that
passengers can regulate the supply Of fresh
air according to the demand. After the mir
becomes impure, it naturally becomes heavier,
sinks to the lower part OF the car and is car-
ricd of through other hues underneath tho
seats. At no time while the train is in mo-
ton can the same air remain in the car longer
than four minutes. By this system Of yenti-
lation, the opening Of windows and the use OF
fans and linen oyereoats during the hot and
dusty weather are entirely dispensed with
The car is, in fact, hermetically sealed while
in motion, as there is only an aperture OF
about three By six inches in the windows,
which can be opened, and these are Of no use
while the train Is in motion, as the pressure ot
! air in the car is greater than that outside.
In the application Of this patent duster, the
company have met the exact wants Of the
travelling public It has been tested long
enough to prove its entire success. The pub
| tic will therefore only consult their own com
fort when they select the Central Road fol
their Eastern trips. ALI the other appliance:
for the comfort Of passengers are parallel viii
this, and only serve to confirm the widt
| spread reputation of this road as one Of tht
best managed, safest and most comfortable il
the West.
