In the base Of the Capitol at Washington
is the enginery by which the House, the
Senate. and the committee rooms are warm
ed and ventilated and the gas lighted by
electricity. It IS altogether q big apparatus,
consisting of three immense fans, four en-

tells whether the air is too mois! CT too dry

hold. is put at 100. A dial with hand
like that ola clock represents the different
degrees ffom 8 to 100. The human hair
abso.bs moisture like q rope, and like a
ropc. It becomes shorter when wet. The
diliercncei in length between hair SIS inches

moisture in the hair varies. lit be comes
too dry more steam is thrown in; ii
too moist less steam is allowed to escape,
