1864, the naval administration Of the
United States was greatly changed and
enlarged over what 1t had been under pre-
viously existing acts. Under this act the
Navy Department was completely reor-
ganized and several new bureaus were
created. Among these additions was that
Of construction and repair and steam en-
cheering. The rules prescribe that for
the chief Of the former division "a skilful
naval constructo, must be selected" and
for the latter "a skilful engineer from the
list Of chief engineers" of the Navy shall
be chosen. 1t Is Ia accordance with the
new administration Of the Navy Depart
ment and the plans in view for its enlarge
ment and more efficient administration.

The Need Of a Dry House.

With scientific assurance of the propriety
of complaining of the discomfort Of the sui
try weather which has marked week of dog
days, there is great temptation to increase
the REVEALING discomfort by increasing muir
murs. 1t is found by PHYSICIANS that sun
strokes are more numerous in damp weather
than in hotter but dry seasons, as the mois-
ture Of the atmosphere interferes with a free
throwing of of Precipitation. which is safe
guard against the danger. writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle quotes the testimony of .
New York physi that ironing on hot
day is less harmful than washing. He says:
Girls in aundries who work in the washing
rooms are among his most frequent patients
for sunstroke or heat prOstratiOn, while those
who work in the ironing rooms are rarely
troubled, though the thermometer may be
considerably higher"
When one remembers that the chief danger
feared by explorers in Africa and travellers
in other tropical countries is the moisture of
damp regions the danger of dog days is more
apparent. Many preventives of bad effects
in sultry weather have been noticed by writer's
upon bygienic topics, but the most important
remedy of dry and well-aired house seems
in need of reiteration. In many families
there exists the belief that q house may be

blinds shut during the eunny weather in the
warm season. In such houses one may
notice gathering Of moisture on the mirrors
in the morning and a damp, sickening odor
pervading all the rooms. The closely sealed
house may have a diminished temperature,
but the sitting closeness of the atmosphere
produces even more discomfort than the out
side air heated by the direct rays of the sun.
All houses situated on low ground should
be well dried in summer and houses Of all
kinds we'll aired. The chief disadvantage Of
the besutiful, old colonial mansions, now 90
much priced among architects and others, 10
the moldy odor which carbolic acid or any
other disinfectant fails to eradicate compile
ly. A house always kept we'll aired, and
dried, is likely to remain fresh and sweet for
a long period. Sleeping rooms require .
current of fresh air. Nearly all cases Of
sunstroke treated by New York physician
this summer are those Of might stroke" or
heat prostration among the poor, caused BY
a number of people clustered together in
small and unventilated room. Fresh air and
dry air are as necessary for health in summer
as proper food and clothing.
