In ventilating railroad cars, the great trouble
hitherto has been to procure current of air and
n tho ssme time avoid dust and cinders. This
difficulty seems to have been overcome by an in
vention to be tried on the New York and New
Haven Railroad. The apparatus is said to be so
that the csrs can be kept closed in the
varmest weather, while continued circulation OF
pure air is kept up through them. The air passes
IN at the front window, over water, where it is
purified, and then is distributed through pipes
,penine into various parts Of the car. Such an ar
would seem practicable and to afford
:he greatest probability Of success in the solution
y fha two.fold problem above mentioned.
