Pure Air For Houses.

Ventilation seems an easy matter,
vet il is ia fact one of the most difficult
problems with which those who are en-
gagged in designing and erecting build
lngs have 10 deal! If the external tenn
peratlire We're always below that of the
house itself the task would be greatly
sjmpiiued, but in summer the external
temperature is the higher, so that an
opening arranged to serve as an outlet
becomes an inlet. An ordinary house
is principally ventilated By means Of
its doors and windows; that is to say,
il is hv these channels that any change
of air further than that which takes
place through the walls of the house
itself is carried or. Ii is seldom that
ventilation bv these ordinary means
hits the mean of comfort. Open doors
and windows in midwinter are popular
" supposed to be productive of other
things besides ventilation. He who has
sat IN the draught from an open win
dow and has immediately afterward suf-
tered from sore throat will scarcely be-
l!cve that the draught was not the
cause. In the height OF summer, on
the other hand, open doors and win
dows fail to put heated air in motion.
