WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 1, 1872, 10 am. (
SYNOPSIS FOR THE PAST TwENrY-PoUR
HoURs.-The two areas of high pressure which
ON wednesday morning were over the southern
states and the northwest have moved eastwardly,
fallen, and apparently combined. to West vir-
ginia, Virginia and North Carolina. with rising
barometer over the New England and middle
states, and clear weather, except along the
lower lakes, where partly cloudy weather with
occasional light snow has continued; the barome-
ter has fallen from the upper lake region south
ward to the gulf, and the pressure is probably
lowest over Kansas, Nebraska and northward
the area of rain and snow over Texas has ex-
tended eastward over Mississippi and thence to
northern Florida, with easterly winds and rising
temperature; southerly winds, rising tempera-
ture, and partly cloudy weather are now re-
ported from the northwest; clear weather very
generally from the upper lake gion to the Ohio
valley, and thence to North and South Carolina
PRoBABILITIEs-The highest barometer con-
unues moving eastwardly with diminishing
pressure and rising temperature very generally
east OF the Rocky Mountains; clear weather
continue over the New England and middle
states, excepting probably along the lakes; the
area of rain and snow gradually extending
northward over Georgia, Tennessee and South
Carolina during the day, and North Carolina
probably tonight, where the winds will veer to
easterly, with increased cloudiness during the
day; southerIy and eastery winds, with in
creased cloudihess, north and west OF the Ohio
valley.

The narrow escape of the Prince OF Wales
from death, the result of poisoning by sewer gas.
and the fatal termination of many such cases in
this country and Europe, which can clearly be
traced to the same cause has directed public
attention to the fact that much foul air, driven
back from the sewers, finds its way into houses
by the waste-holes Of basins You can
Put in the plug, as many people do, and draw
the basin full of water and be safe so far As the
orifce at the bottom is concerned; but this does
not stop up the apertures which are necessarily
provided to meet the contingency of the water
being accidentally left running. Now to remedy
this, IT IS not necessary as the New York T;m.s
suggests, that some ingenious plumber, or other
mechanician invent an apparatus which will
always keep these holes closed, except when the
water rises to their level, or above them 90 that
one most important source OF poisonous air
"hould thus be effectually chokedoff, and sleep
ing-roOms be made healthier. There is a yery
simple and very efectual remedy for the evil
complained Of. 1t is merely to have a bend in
the pipe thus: ", just below the oriHce. The
lower portion of the bend or inverted sypbon
being always filed with water prevents the mas
sage of foul air through into the room, unless
there should be some unusual pressure from
blow to force ii through, while the bend and its
contents offers no obstruction to the passage of
the usual matter through the pipe downward
and outward. There can be a drip screw Of
large diameter fitted into the lower part Of the
bend, 80 that in case it becomes clogged the oh
structiOn may be easily removed at any time
without delay and withontth necessity of send
ing for plumber. 1t will be seen by our local
article in reference to sewer traps that the
principle Of the bent pipe has been applied by
Superintendent Chase in their construction, it
being considered an improvement over the plans
heretofore in use.
