~ In a letter to the London Times, Mr.. W.
&. Burder, of Clifton, recommends the adop-
ton OF the following plan for the ventilatng
OF bed rooms :-ss If q tube which has direct
communication with the external air, and its
Internal opening near the sleeper, be sufficient
ly long and thin-either in coils or elongated
to allow the air in passing through it to attain
the same temperature as the average air of the
room, person lying in bed may breathe pure
an All night without suffering from draughts,
and, indeed, he may so manage the simple
machinery by which the air is con veyed to him
that he shall only perceive delightful fresh
ness in the air. l have tried the plan, and
found it answer.
