aud perfectly nssrnilated, In order to re-
lleye him rs fur rs possible from the oppres-
sion cnuscd by the intens8 lieat, tho attend
Ing physicians this evening put In operation
a simple refrigcratlng apparatus. which, 1t Is
thought, will rc,ltlcr tho atmosphere Ut Ills
ROOM tomorrow much moro comfortable than
1t has been to-day. 1t consists OF anumbor Of
troughs Of galvanized iron. about ten inches
III width and fourteen feet III longtll, plnccd
OH tho floor along tho walls and filled with
water aud broken Ice. Over these troughs,
aud corresponding with them Iii longtl,. nro
suspended sheets Of flannel, thu lower edges
of which nre immersed iii the Ice-watcr
which fills the troughs. Water is absorbed
md carried upward by capillary attraction In
the flannel, as ol! Is In the wick Of Il lamp,
until the sheets arc saturated. This cold
water, botl, by direct contact with the mir
autl by tlle rapid evaporation which
takes place oycr the extended surface
Of tho funnel, lowers the temperature Of
the room. Although only q few hours hayo
etnpsed since this apparatus WIS put Into ope-
ration it llas made perceptlblo change, and 1t
is thought Its utility will bo still more clear-
ly demonstrated tomorrow. Tho day hns
