To LIGHT A DARK RooM-The London
Bui1der recommends plan for lighting a
dark room, in which the darkness is caused
by its being situated on narrow street or
lane. The Builder says if the glass of a
window in such room is placed several
inches within the outer face of the wall,
as in the general custom in building
houses, it will admit very little light, that
which it gets being only the reflection from
the walls of the opposite houses. If, how
ever, for the window be substituted anoth-
er in which all the panes of glass are
roughly ground on the outside, and flush
whole of the visible sky and from the re-
hottest parts of the opposite wall will be
introduced into the apartment, reflected
from the innumerable faces or facets which
the rough grinding of glass has produced.
The whole window will appear as if the
sky were beyond it, and from every point
of this luminous surface light viii radiate
into all parts OF the room. 5 aa
