VENTILATION OF TIE FEDERAL CAP1ToI--The
ventilation Of the Capitol at Washington is artif-
cial. The air is forced into the apartments by i'm
mense steam fans. The Scientific american says:
The fan for the Senate Chamber is IA feet in
diameter, weighing 6536 pounds and driven by q
16-horse engine, running from 80 to 60 revolutions
per minute. At the lowest rate this delivers into
the Senate Chamber 10000 cubic feet Of air per
minute, being 30 cubic feet per minute for each
one Of 1900 persons. The Hall Of Representatives
has q fan Is feet in diameter, weighing 905O
pounds, and driven by an engine of 30-horse
power This fan can be run up to 80 turns per
minute, delivering 100,0 900 cubic feet of air per
minutes. In winter one-haR this capAcity is exer-
cised.
The other two fans, for the committee rooms,
Offices and Corridors each IA feet in diameter,
weighing over 5000 pounds. and can be run to 60
revolutions Driven each by 16-horse power en-
gine.
In summer the air which is delivered to the
building is cooled and hydrated by coming in con-
tact with water falling in shower, similar to the
means employed in low-pressure engines for con-
similar, will probably be adopted to moisten the
air used in winter for the double purposes Of heat
ing and ventilating.
We hope, with all this apparatus, Congress viii
manage to keep cool hereafter.
