Successful Cooling Apparatus.
Washington Correspondence New York
Herald
1t is certain now that q cooling apparatus
has been found which will meet the views
of the doctors. 1t has been in operation
during the day and has been found to work
very satisfactorily. The temperature of the
sick room has been about seventy-ive de-
grees and the air is much dryer than the air
in the other rooms of the Executive Man
sion. The President has spoken of the
change In the atmosphere. The tanning
has been dispensed with entirely. In order
to secure proper ventilation, one of the
windows is kept open. The other is shut,
as are all the doors leading from the
sick room. The cold air is driven up
through the hot air tlue and through the
register into the room. At the register the
temperature is much lower. The appa-
ratus which produces this result it quite
a complex affair, and situated in the
basement. There is first small tank filled
with ice. large tin pipe can runs into
the top of this tank from the open air. The
bottom of the tank is perforated with holes
and below is another tank, which is filled
with plates, CO yered with Turkish toweling.
The ice-water drops down from the upper
tanks and saturates the covering of the
plates. Then connected with this is large
fan, which is run by steam engine. The
tan drives the air over the plates and then
INTO pipe which leads into a large wooden
tank holding sixteen tons of ice. The air is
driven by means of the fan through this
mass OF Ice, and then out into the pipe
which conveys it upstairs The
noise OF the fan was conveyed by the reso-
nant qualities of the tin pipe up into the
SICK room and the doctors were afraid that
thls constant whirripg noise would dis
turb the President. On being asked. he said
1t did not disturb him. 1t was thought
best to remedy it. so Major Powell,
OF the Coast survey, who has taken great
deal OF interest in the matter, devised the
expedlent of taking out a section of the tin
pipe and substituting for it section made
of canvass. This was found to work admi-
rably, and the apparatus is now in working
order. 1t gives such satisfaction that it is
probable that those engaged in putting up
the air COMPRISING apparatus will be told
that it is not worth while for them to con-
tinue. This latter apparatus has been in
process of erection for several days, and is
not yet completed. The COMPRISING APP
paratus is made of iron, and is quite I'M
wieldy, for which it is necessary to provide
an engine of considerable power to furnish
the steam. 1t is the intention to force the
compressed air through five lines of hose
winch stretch along the ground and up the
OUTSIDE OF the building into the Presidents
