The ventilation n Houses and Rooms.


Professor Pettenkofer has shown that
you can blow a candle out through a
brick if you only concentrate the breath
on one point; and so large quantity of
air is changed in rooms by the air pass
ing through the walls when there is no
continuance to prevent it, and it is n
fact that many rooms, when shut up in
winter, are much better ventilated than
IN the summer, when the doors and
windows are open, because at particu-
lar periods there is scarcely any move
ment of the air in summer, whereas in
winter the cold air outside and the warm
air inside form current of air, and a
large quantity passes through the walls.
Ii remains, then, for us to consider how
air is to be got into rooms so as not to
produce draught, and how the air that
has been used is to be drawn out. Cold
air must be let in above peoples heads,
or it will produce a draught, and the
practice has arisen of letting it in high
up in a room. Now, if you make an
opening through the wall of the room
into the outer air very high up, the
outer air will come in. cold and heavy,
into the air which is lighteSt, at the top
of the room, and so il will fall down,
just as cold water would, OH to peoples
heads, and that clearly will not do.
That is to say, then, that you cannot
let cold air in low down, as it will get
to your feet; and you cannot let it in
high up, as it will fall on your head.
WHAT, then. is to be done? You must
let the air in so that it will have direc-
ton upwards, so that it shall come in
like a fountain. There are several ways
of doing that. Suppose you make an
opening over the door through the wall
into the outer air and you put in front
of that a piece of board slanting for
ward, air coming in strikes against that
board and is detected upwards, so that
it aScends as it comes in. and if you
provide that board with what are called
a pair of cheeks to prevent the air tum-
bling over at the sides, you have a very
cheap way of letting air into the room.
One precaution you should take, and
that is, YOU should not do that too high
up in the. room; you should put it low
down, only just sufficiently above peo-
pies heads. Now, many people do not
like to go into room where they see
of the kind, and there are
people, too, who directly anything of
that kind catches their eye, think they
feel draught, but can assure you that
in a room provided with a continuance
of the kind there is no draught; it is
pure fancy, and would advise the plan
as one worthy of general adoption; and
l would suggest that you should con-
ceal the piece of wood by hanging a
picture in front, and then your nervous
friends will not be annoyed.-Dr. Cor

The Oldest Inhabitant--AndreW Hood
Aged Ill.

/ The Greenup Ky. } Independent says:
/ We called one evening last week at the
residence of Squire John Adams, to
see and interview the oldest man now
living in the State of Kentucky, Andrew
Hood. Mrs. Amy Adams father.
To see a man over whose bent head
the SHOWS of Ill winters have passed,
whose now dimmed eyes have seen the
! swallows leave for there Southern
homes III times, whose now almost
deaf ears have heard the melancholy
notes of the whippoorwill returning to
| the lonely forests over four score years.
whose now STOPPING form and tremb-
| ling hands. nearly a hundred years ago
bravely and stoutly faced the perils of
the wilds, the red skinned Indian, bear
and panther-the sight of such a man
inspires one with awe and yet does it
awaken ones melancholy to consider
how in the course of years mans fullest
strength and vigor, like his proudest as
piration do pass their climax and totter
to the grave and to oblivion.
On the 18th of October, 1869, Andrew
Hood was born in his father fort, To-
Gated near where Winchester, Clark
County, Va, is now situated. That
country was then, in the fullest sense of
the word, bowling wilderness and his
father, Major Hood, was stationed
there to fight and keep in check the
Indians. Accustomed to the wild
frontier life, his father got tired of
Virginia as the advancing civilization
approached his settlement and when
Andrew was eleven years old the Major
removed thence to place eight miles
below Prestonsburg, whence he later
moved to above the mouth of Little
Sandy, in Greenup County, where he
died and was buried.
Andrew H God was married but once,
to Miss Mary Cane, who bore him four
teen children and died in 1878. His
children and their offspring are now
scattered like the sands of the sea and
the old gentleman does not know where
they live nor how many of his progeny
there are.
He spoke Familiarity of Daniel Boom,
who was hunting companion of his
father and whose departure for Missouri
in a flat-bottomed boat he distinctly
recollects.
Were it not for his almost total deaf
ness many interesting facts might be
learned from him, but as it is, it is al
most impossible to make yourself intel
tigible to him.
His habits are quite peculiar. He

the sun rises and sitting up from sunset
till the next morning, the doors of his
cabin shut and fire burning in the fire.

stoops, poking it necessarily with one
of his walking sticks. He takes three
meals DAY, doesn't smoke, but chews
a little, never in his life took any medi-
cine, used to drink whisky, but doesn't
now, has his face shaved and is able to
walk twenty yards with the support of
two sticks.
Unable as he is to help himself, it is
inspiring and elevating to note the low
ing tenderness and patience with which
his daughter, Mrs. Adams and her fami-
ly are devoted to him and how they all

that he may yet remain on earth void
of jars of unpleasantness.

A Tramp Trap.

A Western man has invented what he
terms " tramp trap" 1t consists OF
an ordinary freight car in which is a
movable bed resting on spiral springs,
something like a spring mattress. TIC
this bed is attached a clutch which acts
on an elliptic spring connected with the
doors. The movable bed is adjusted SO
as not to move until required weight
is upon it. In the car are placed several
boxes of crackers and cheese, and the
doors are left wide open. These articles
are soon discovered by the tramps, and
they begin to swarm around the car
and to enter. When the required weight
is in the car the bottom suddenly flies
up, throws out the clutch, and the doors
close quick as flash and fasten with a
spring-l lock; the tramps are thus secured
until captured by the railroad officers.

Swimming in Irons.

The plunge of the famous hero of
Monte Christie was actually initiated the
other night by an inmate of the Snake
Hill Penitentiary, in Hudson County,
New Jersey. This man, VIM. Burns. is
under sentence for larceny, and his
term has long time to run. He was
one of a gang of men who were work
ing in new quarry in the Penitentiary
grounds close TO the Hackensack River,
under the direction of Keeper Stuart.
At four o clock on Saturday blast was to
be exploded. 1t was noticed that Burns,
before the explosion, edged nearer
and nearer to the bank of the river
But he was shackled, and no one sup
posed for moment that he would I'M
dertake to swim the stream while ironed.
Yet this, which Edmond Dantes is rep
resented to have tried and succeeded in,
Burns was daring enough TO attempt.
At the moment the blast was fired he
must have jumped into the river. Dill
gent search was made, but no trace of
him could be seen. Five hours after
ward. however, the head of Burns was
observed by one of the keepers to
emerge cautiously from among some
sedges considerable distance down the
stream. The man had raised his head
to breathe, having kept himself during
all this time hidden among the weeds,
and trusting to escape in the sequel I'M
der cover of darkness. Burns must
have crossed deep water to reach the
spot where he was found, and, as-un-
like the hero of Dumas-he had not
managed to clear himself of his irons,
the wonder is how hekept himself from
going to the bottom.

THE NEXT DAY.

AOdOSI C
DR.. Tanner spent very quiet day to-
day, and saw very few visitors. His
physicians say he is improving as well
as could be expected after such long
fast. During the early part of the
morning he chewed half a pound of
beefsteak, only retaining the juice, and
part of some milk-toast and wine.
Shortly before noon he ate half a
pound of beefsteak and some pota-
toes which had been stewed in
milk. He was then weighed and
turned the scales at 1876 pounds. About
every hour he partook of some nourish-
ing food or drink, which included wa
termelon, milk, potatoes stewed in
milk, ale, beef tea, bread and wine.
About six O'clock his weight was again
taken, and was found to be 1870 pounds.
He was quite lively to-day, and frisked
about his room like a schoolboy. His
physicians say his rapid recovery from
the effects of his long fast is something
remarkable.
