Cooling our Houses in Summer by
MACHINERY.

A writer in the New York Nation favors
the readers of that admirable journal with
a description, in advance, of plan where
by he hopes to be able to produce In his
house just such temperature rs he may
desire, throughout tue hottest summer.
The apparatus whereby he proposes to
arrive at "this contamination so devoutly
to be wished" he describes In substance
as follows;
A considerable number of small air pipes
are to be led several times through very
large box or hin, which lie to be packed
full OF some light substance-moss, for
instance through which air can easily
find its way. Water is to triekle through
this moss from the top downward and
current of air is to be forced through it
from the bottom upward, producing rapid
evaporation which will cool the air pipes
and the air which passes through them.
The air thus cooled was to be let through
cheap wooden pipes to the various rooms
in the house, slways near the ceiling, to
be turned OIL or ON like air in hot furnaces.
The doors and windows of the house
will then be kept closed in the hottest as
carefully rs in the coolest weather, eXclu-
ding not only the heated out door air but
the dust flies and the mosquitoes and the
rooms can be kept as light as in winter
and by the turning on and off of a stop
cock the temperature of any room may be
regulated according to the occupants
fancy.
The motive power fora forcing the mir
through the pipes and the eyaporatlng-hox
ia to be furnished by a clock-like arrange
ment, with heavy weight. which eau he
drawn up every day, or less frequently, az
the case may require, by horse.
The idea seems almost toe pleasant fol
us 10 hope for la realization, and yet much
more wonderful things have been accom-
plished, and since the manufacture of arti
fetal ice has been successfully carried on
there ought to he no insurmOuntahlC
obstacles to cooling the air of our houses
Even if nothing ever comes of 1t the sug
gestion AS to the means of getting th'
necessary power may be utilized in oIhe
ways We have often wondered that som'
such device has not been resorted to befor'
this for running sewing machines.
