A New veu,,Iat,Dr D.v,ce,

A very successful new ventilating de.
vice has been in operation during the
past month on Pullman parlor car on
the main line of the c., B. & O., and il
will probably soon be used on all the
parlor cars running over the Burlington
At each end of the car on the side are
placed two light metal doors, each open
ing or hinge at the center. A horizon.
tai lever is attached to the edges and
runs through to the inside of the car,
which enables it to he worked at will.
In that way the doors can be opened at
any width, and the lever holds them
steady with a thumb screw. Inside the
doors is q medium fiue wire screen to
keep out dirt, and inside of that
again is another still finer screen
for the same purpose. When the
train is moving in one direction door
on each side is opened to catch the
draught coming from the opposite direc.
ton. The steam pipes are enclosed in
wooden cases in which are located regis
tiers at regular intervals apart, and the
constant draught through the doors which
is carried through the pipe boxes. drives
the heat out through the registers into
the body of the car, and as much cold air
can be emitted as is desired. The draught
doors Can be regulated to open at any
width necessary, so that the temperature
can be kept at any point and fresh air
circulated through the cars at the same
time. A series of ventilators at the top
of the car, each one provided with de-
fecto,, carries out the foul air and super.
fluous heat. and permits no draught from
the top of the car.
