The Matter Of Ventilation.

From the Country Gentleman.
Now that the cold weather of winter is ap-
preaching, few suggestions relative to the
ventilation of rooms when artificial heat is used
may not be out of place. The subject is OF the
more Importance because many persons do not
provide sufficient amount of fresh air for
healthy breathing. while others. in their over
anxiety TO avoid this error. admit a needless
amount and colds and other diseases follow eX-
posture 10 cold drafts. To say nothing OF the
waste OF fuel. The question naturally occurs
what rule can we have SO as to know that we
get enough fresh ar and not too much: The
general principle is simpler than its application.
II Is this: The average amount OF air breathed
by every person. is about twenty-fOur cubic
inches at each breath. with about twenty respi-
ratiOnS minute. This would be a cubic foot i'm
three and half minutes. or 100 cubic feet i'm
twenty-fOur hours, OF the contents Of a room Z
feet square and feet nigh. But this is only
nfteth part Of what every healthy person needs
Tor breathing vltlates rapidly the air, because
the air breathed out has 100 times as much car
bOnic acid gas as the atmosphere while twice
the amount contained in the atmosphere. or
eight parts in 10000 is a. large prof. Ortion as
can be breathed without injury to the health
Crowded rooms in winter. schools. etc. are some
times found to contain three or four times as
much. and headaches and other ailments are
the consequence Of breathing the same air over
and over again.
There should there ore be enough fresh air
Tor every person daily to amount to 70. LEGO cubic
feet. or enough to fill eighteen rooms 10 feet
square and 10 feet high This would be amply
supplied by an opening. tube OTifice 8 inches
square. with moderate current In the dav
time there is usually enough air introduced into
rooms through opening doors, cracks in window
castings and in other ways The chief danger is

and the ar outside quite cold. constant and
often sufficient currents are caused A warm

mission OF warmed fresh air. The greatest
need Is in crowded rooms hundred persons

windy weather a free ventilation constantly goes
on without trouble little figuring or caicu-
latiOn will soon enable any person 70 know how

The Rage aor Relics,

From the Boston Advertiser.
The weaving Of the world from od-time SUI
perstitiOn and romance has evidently not had
the result of diminishing that sentiment which
displays itself in the hunting for and tender
preservation of relics Even in these busy prac-
teal. prOsaic days the rage for outward symbols
of that which is venerated in the past continues
to burn undmmed. 1t is said that in some
parts OF this country the relic mania lust now
takes the form of seeking for napkin rinos
carved out OF the trees of Sir Walter SCOTS
domain at ADbotsfOrd. As an illustration OF
the advantage taken of the relic race by m
scrupul0us spectators, and Albany paper re-
marks that this craving for AbbotsfOrd meTneD-
toes Is causing IA serious drain upon the forests
OF Maine public demand for paper knives
made OF the olive trees of Palestine is said to
have been curiOusly cOntemporaneous with a
largely Increased importation OF olive wood from
Portugal.
The love of relics takes chiefly three forms. Peo-
pie are fond OF preserving material reminders of
friends who have departed They like to have
rcilcS OF some great public character renowned
IN history or letters. And there are many pious
folk. especially in the southern countries of
Europe who delight in possessing something
which pertalned TO a notable sacred event or

Effects OF Lightning upon Human
kscIECS.

At recent congress of German medical men.
held at Magdeburg, paper was read on the
effects Of lightning stroke on human beings. and
the author showed that when the lightning dis
charged passed through the skin its passage
was much easier-tnat is to say, the Internal
organs are much more conductive than the epi-
derlnis This fact. says Engineering. was pretty
well known, but 1t is not so well known that
the brain and spinal cord are apparently con-
Guctors. and hence a lightning stroke on the
head does not materially injure the brain be-
yoGd SCATTERING the nerves and causing tempo
rary arrangement. Most persons struck by
lightning do not remember anything about the
stroke. but Others describe sensation such as
would be caused by their being struck heavy
blow, and some have likened the shock to what
| they would be supposed to feel ii torn into
small pieces
