Ventilation.

From the excellent address by the Presi-
dent Or the Institution Of Civil Engineers
in Scotland, Prot. Mackquoorn RankIfhec,
we select a single passage: ''..
A branch of sanitary engine ering not less
important than water supply and cleansing
is ventilation, but its difficulties and iinpef-
fections are in Some respects of an opposite
character. In the branch which deals with
liquids and solids, we find that the supply
of pure water is comparatively easy, while
the removal of refuse involves matters of
dispute and perplexity.. In the case of
ventilation, on the other hand, appliances
for the removal of foul air are well known
and extensively used, while the supply Of
fresh air, though in ION cases sufficiently
provided for, is ia other eases neglected;
and there are toe many Instances of the
latter class. We too often see large and
splendid public halls, IN which outlets for
foul air have been most carefully planned
and executed at various points of the roof,
while the supply Of air has been left to the
c~asual'opening Of a door, or to the currents
which the pressure Of the atmosphere may
cause to enter through the drains and soil
pipes, or down disused chimneys. There
are many exceptions, however, to this re-
mark, to be found IN buildings where the
supply of fresh air has been amply and
skillfully provided, and the number Of these
exceptions is fortunately increasing. Care
should, be taken not to underestimate the
supply Of fresh air required by the inmates
of d building experience has proved that
each individual requires at the very least
40 cubic feet per minute, and, If possible,
he should be, supplied with 80 cubic feet.

many OF whom havo never been to tho sea
shore before, aud enjoy the new sensation
most enthusiastically. The following lines.
which, in substance, follow quite faithfully

West, will convey sone idoa OF tho feelings
excited by first visit to the sea shorc:]
Dear Leila, I've seen the great ocean,
The wonderful tossing seal
wish could give you notion
just how it appears to me.
It's awfully lovely and crushing,
It's big and jolly and blue,
It's terrible, stunning and rushing
It's gorgeously pretty too.
Oh, such bathingl 'tis really delightful,
Though the water is colder than ice!
And 1t looking like scarecrows il frightful,
The splashing about is 30 nice.
We go in to bathe altogether,
The women and children and men;
at fret could hardly tell whether
ives proper 10 try it-but then
The gentlemen are all 30 kind,
And holp us to float and to swim,
That now, Leila dear. don't mind;
In bathing one can't we'll be prim.
Then alone twould be awiully tiresome
With the girls to Jump up and down,
And wero there no men here, Id hire some,
Because-some ones likely to drown.
o sweetest, You ought to be here!
To have good glimpse Of tho eea,
As do each night from the pier
And usually some ones with me.
Now, darling, goodbye, with kiss
Do. dearest, write quickly, don't fail;
I've oceans Of secrets you'll miHs-
But pa says I'm late for the mail.
