Ventilation OF the Federal Capitol.

The ventilation of the Capitol ut
Washington is artificial. The air is
forced in the apartments by immense
steam fans. The Scientific american says:
The fan for the Senate Chamber is four
pounds, and driven by a sixteen horse
engine, running from thirty to sixty
revolutions per minute. AT the lowest
rate this delivers into the Senate Cham
Der 80 900 cubic feet per minute, being
twenty cubic feet per minute for each
one of 800 persons. The Hall of Rep
resentatives has fan sixteen feet in di-
ameter, weighing 9,050 pounds, and
driven by an engine of thirty horse pow
er. This fan can he run up to eighty
turns per erminute, delivering 100000 Gu
bic feet of air per minute, equal to en-
tirely filling the hall every five minutes.
In winter one-half this capacity is cxer-
ciscd
The other two fans, for the Commit
tee rooms, offices and corridors, are each
fourteen feet in diameter, weighing over
5000 pounds, and can be run to sixty
revolutions. Driven each by a sixteen
horse engine.
In summer the air which is delivered
to the building is cooled and bydrated,
coming in contact with water falling in
shower. similar to the means employ
ed in low-pressure engines for cOndens-
ing steam. The same principle, or some
thing similar, will probably be adopted
to moisten the air used in winter for the
double purpose Of heating and yentil-
atinp.

Bank Pnuic Story.

An English journal gives the fellow
ing: "In the midst of the late excite
ment and at the moment when almost
everybody thought all the banks were
going to the dogs together, Jones rush
ed into the bank of which he was q
stockholder, and thrusting certificate
into the clerks face, he said, in great
haste: "Here, please transfer half of that
to James p. Smith" The clerk looked
at it and asked: (Which half, Mr.. Jones''
Il don't care which half" replied Jones,
puzzled at the inquiry. "Iou had bet
ter 90 To the courts; | can't make the
transfer without legal decision. If
you really wish to transfer your other
half to Mr.. Smith, We cannot do it here.
Mr. Jones was confounded. He knew
the banks were all i'll muddle, but this
was too deep for him. He took his GER
titicatc from the hands of the smiling
clerk, and looking on it, 10! it was his
marriage certificate! Being printed
form on fine paper, and put among his
private papers, it was the first that
Jones laid hands on when he went to
his secretary for bank stock scrip. He
went home, kissed his wife, glad o find
she Hadn't been transferred to Mr..
Smith, and taking the right paper this
