The best way to purify a room,
says u writer in the Boston Trayler,
is to set n pitcher full of water in it,
and in a few hours the water will
have absorbed nearly all the respired
gases in the apartment, rendering
the air pure, but making the water
utterly unfit to drink. The colder
the water, the greater the capacity
to contain these gases. At the ordi-
nary temperature a pail of water will
absorb pint of carbonic acid gas
and several pints of ammonia. The
capacity is nearly doubled by reduc-
ing the tempeture of the water to
ice. Never drink water that has
been allowed to stand in a sleeping
apartment.
