MACHINE FOR VENTILATION.
Current OF Pure Air Produced by q
Stream of Water.

A new machine has been patented re-
Gently by resident OF this city for pro-
ducing current of air by means OF q
stream Of water injected into a pipe lead
ing to metallic chamber below. The water
collects depth of nearly an inch, and
thus closes the mouth of the syphon FORM
ing the channel of exit for the surplus
water from the stream above. At the top
of the chamber is an oritce for exit of the
air A small stream of water IS injected
through peculiar arrangement into the
stand pipe and assumes an inverted funnel
form, which forces the air below TO issue
only at the top outlet
The force of the stream is the measure
of air carried with it. At pressure of
fifty pounds, through pipe three-fourths
of an inch in diameter, the amount Of
water supplied each minute is about two
gallons. while the quantity of aie borne
down is equal 10 1000 gallons. With a
nressure of seventy-iive pounds per inch of
water the quantity of air forced with it
amounts TO $3.50 gallons per minute
With A pressure of 100 pounds per square
inch of water the amount OF air carried
down into the chamber is increased TO
3 800 gallons per minute, while the flow of
water has amounted 10 less than four gal

BUREAU OF CHARITIES.
A Case That Puzzles tho Directors
Support From the County.


Support From the County.
At the regular weekly meeting of the
directors of the Bureau of Associated
Charities yesterday afternoon there were
present w. V. Rinehart, Rev. S. Aionzo
Bright, Jerome Catlin, Fred Gasch,
Thomas w. Prosch and T. r. Fleming.
The greater part of the time was taken up
with discussions about different charity
cases under investigation, the principal
one being that of the Hammer
family. which lives on Cedar street
near the corner of Depot. The
family consists of Mr.. and Mrs. Ham
mer and four children and widow, a sis
ter of Mrs. Hammer. and three children.
Mr.. Hammer is incapacitated for work,
owing to weak eyes and poor health. The
family have occupied a house owned by
ex-Mayor Hall for two years, and never
paid rent during that time. They have
been helped by the county and many in
dividuals, but are described as only exist
ing. Director Catlin went out to investi-
gate, and found things in a terrible condi-
ton. He said that there was SO much
filth that he could not bear it. What
practical charity could be done for the
family bothered the directors exceedingly.
Mr.. Gasch said he would give the Ham
mers one acre of ground in South Seattle
for the nominal rental of 81 year and help
them. This proposition is now being con-
sidered by Mr.. Hammer.
County Commissioner Gasch agreed to
refer all cases in the future 20 the bureau
for investigation.

ILLEGAL TROUT FISHING.
Season Not Open Until May 1-viola-
lions at Juanita.


lions ut Juanita.
Reports from Juanita, on the eastern
shore of Lake Washington, state that
large numbers of trout are being caught
near that place in pond owned by Ed L.
Terry and ID. Forbes, of this city. Mr..
Terry said yesterday that he had received
reports of the affair and had ordered pro-
hibitory signs to be placed about the pond.
Should persons be caught fishing they
would be prosecuted. While the
pond is private property and
the owners would prohibit fishing
without regard to state game laws, yet
the act of catching or having in ones
possession trout at this time is a INSIDE
meanor under the state laws. Although
there has been difference of opinion con-
corning the opening of the trout season,
it must have arisen from a superficial ex-
animation of the code. Both Hills code
and Secretary of State Allen Weir's re-
port of the legislative enactments of 1891,
agree that the season opens on May l.
Following is the law as it appears in the
penal code, chapter XII, section 26S,
page TBS:
Every person who shall within the state of
Washington, during the montas of November
December, February, March anu April of each
yea-, take catch, Kill or have in their possession
any brock trout, mountain trout, bull trout or
salmon trout shall be guilty of a misdemesnor.
Section 270, chapter Xi.-Possession OF any
trout mentioned in 2o3 is evidence OF INSIDE
meAaor.
These sections passed the House Febru-
airy D by a full vote-6o yeas, no nays.
