FIRE AND VENTILATION.
The Effect of Heat on the Atmosphere OF
Room.

1t is needless to point out the good
that fire will do in keeping a room
free from damp and all unwholesome
moistures, and in many climates, fore
most amongst which ranks our own,
frequently saving valuable furniture
pianos in particular-from decay, nay,
often ruin. But it must be clearly I'M
derstood that it is not the air which is
purified, but that a new, fresh and
wholesome atmosphere has replaced the
one that has been used up. In short,
the infected air has been rarefied by the
heat, and, proper ventilation being pro-
vided, itexpels itself from the apartment.
Fire, and combustion in general, so far
from purifying polluted air, actually
deteriorate prodigious quantity of it
in short time. Therefore, not only a
common fire. but even lighted candle
Ito say nothing OF lamps or gas) when
kept in well-closed Tor, more properly
speaking, an ill-closed) room, wherein
the external air has not a free access,
renders the air of that room noxious in
an incredibly short space of time. The
remedy is in our own hands. 1t is for
us mothers and housewives not only to
give instructions, but to personally see
that the upper sash of at least one win.
dow in each living room is opened all
day long; and then gradually to accus-
tom ourselves, our children and all over
whom we have control, to sleep with
them in that position. We should
quickly find our own restless nights be.
come peaceful, whilst our little ones
would have the proper proportion Of
oxygen so essential to their young lives.
