Upper Rooms rs Oyeas.

In the construction of perhaps nine
cut of ten of frame houses. and often
times of brick, no adequate provision
if any, is made for vcntiiating the
space between the upper ceiling and
the roof. How frequently at night the
remark is made: 1.-The lower rOom
are getting quite comfortable. but the
upper rooms are like an oven" 1.-The
roof gets so heated up during the
day" Seldom is the real cause of the
oppressive heat that prevails till late
in the night. or till well on toward
morning, either understood or thought
of. Ii Is true the roof gets hot during
the day, but il usually consists of but IA
layer of strips and shingles. and would
soon cool if it had IA chance. The
trouble is there is a body of coniine!
air under the roo. that gets very hot,
and as there is no outlet for its escape
and replacement il must remain hot
until cooled by the slow process of ra-
diation through the surrounding walls.
Now, the roof being usually of wood
is not SO good a conductor a the plaS-
tered walls of the ceiling, hence the
heat must pass out principally from be-
low through the rooms of the house.
That accounts for the fact that when
IN goes to an upper room in the even
ing there comes such n sense of sitting,
and the sweat starts from the forehead.
Ii is an oven YOU are in; all that is lack
ing to make il complete is the hot air
chamber below As well as above. The
builder who constructs 4 house with
such nicely adjusted conditions for the
radiation OF stored up heat, might most
properly be called Macbeth. for he has
certainly murdered sleep" When
the writer was Il boy it was his COOL
fortune to sleep in the chamber OF 4
house unfinished above. There was
nothing but the roof over him and the
room became cool not long after the
cooling of the outside ar. 1t was a
good place to sleep winter or summer,
Only those who have slept just under
the shingles can realize what it is to
listen to the patter of the rain upon
the root." Very often in s~teep-roofed
and low-eaved houses a part of the
/ room along by the caves above is walled
out, leaving 4 space for confined air On
two sides as well rs above. The sides,
too, are connected with the spaces be-
tween weather boarding and walls.
reaching to the sills. 1t will readily
appear. therefore, what an advantage
would be gained both In preventing
and reducing excessive heat by having
a free circulation of air through these
spaces. The provisions sometimes
made for this ventilation are INSULT
cent. A few open Stats under the roof
in the gable are better than nothing,
but there is no good reason why there
should not be at least two good large
openings. An arrangement could east
ly be made SO that shutters should be
under control from below by means OF
n cord or wire, remaining open day and
night during hot weather, except when
storms might threaten. They might be
made to assist greatly in cooling and
ventilating the whole house. DR.. NeW.

A Revolution in Cooking and Heating.

Will wonders eve cease? Mankind
has used boiling water for cooking pur-
poses since long before the invention oil
letters. yet during these countless ages
the ace never knew the possibilities Of
has found out that. by saperheating
water, that is. by raisingit to q temper
AZURE of four hundred degrees to four
hundred and twenty-five degrees Fab.
renheit. that it can be- used for cooking
and heating with greater advantage
than any other kind of heat. By the
new system dinners a be cooked in q
where there is no ~perceptible heat
from the apparatus. In several res
t~aurants of New York meats and poul.
try are roasted, broiled. stewed and
boiled from heat given out by the super
heated water on the Prall system, and
this with q perfection and economy un-
known to any other species OF cooking.
The Common Council of New York
have granted a permit to allow the
company who own the patent to intro
duce this supcrheated water into
houses. Next fall a square mile will be
taken 40, and the water will be sup
piled from \ central building to the
private houses hat need it. But note
the changes it will bring about. No
fires will be needed. for the house will
be warmed by hot water. There will
be a range, but the heat will be supplied
through \ coil of pipes. Chimneys will
not be used; there will be no SCOT and
no danger from catching fire. The
house of the future, with electric lights
at night. will not need insurance. for
there will be no way in which it can
catch fire except from outside. This
Prall system of heating and cooking is
not an experiment. 1t has been tested.
and fulflls all the requirements. 1t
will be particularly valuable to hotels
and large apartment houses; but it will
be an economy and comfort as well in
the tenement house, for there will be no
need of eoal-bins or the dragging up of
scuttles of coal to the upper stories
The business Of the ash-cart man will
be gone. How surprisingly stupid
mankind has been not to discover the
possibilities of hot water before the
year 1SSl!-Dsmoresfs Monthly.

lSAGEBRUSH JOURNALISM,

ism will rank with any other in point of
fairness and a gentlemanly tone of discussion.
1t Is only fal Sc impression that gives people
the idea that Nevada editors are accustomed
to roughen up the Kings English when
they discuss the topics of the day. Com
pared with the reckless methods of writing in
vogue in Chicago aud New York the Nevada
editor is but sucking babe. In some cases
plain talk is COMPOUNDED with personal abuse,
and the Nevada press has earned q reputation
for being reckless and loud when it really de-
served credit for habit of calling things by
their right names and shifting fraud vigor-
ously and effectively. At times the blUdgeon
of invective has been rather hard and 1notty
at the business end, bat so long as it has
been welded by the sturdy arm of truth
none but the squeamish and caviling can
complain. People who object to the use of
lively Anglo Saxon can tone down the dis
cussions By assisting in driving vast numbers
of old frauds and hnmbugs out of the State
Now that the campaign is over and all the
hard things which we have all said of each

the speech. Bright made the following re-
ply: You comment on my speech of Nov.
18th, and find in it terrible hlemishes not dis
covered by other critics. You condemn me

BARLEY CAMPBELL, the play wright, has
suddenly broken loose as poet. In one Of
his verses he conveys the idea that if he were
to die in mid ocean, his corpse would float
back to Ireland to the feet of his 'loved
mavourneen." In reality, if he was to die in
mid ocean, the officers Of the vessel would
attach n sixty pound shot to his fee: and send
him overheard with the usual benedictions
Of the church. II his corpse ever reached his
love IN Ireland, the body would be in such a
state OF decomposition that the "mavourneen"
would repudiate it. If Campbell persists in
writing such poetry, the quicker the round
shot is tied to his feet and the launching of
the cadaver, tho better will the interests of
the country be conserved.
