strong current of air was driven upward
between the partitions by means of fan 3
feet II inches in diameter. This air acted in
two ways-by absorbing heat itself aud by
evapOrat ny a portion of the water, the
remainder being cooled by the action of
each process. 1t WAS found that in
winter the former action is more effective,
and In summer the latter, the net results
being practically constant throughout the
year. The air has a velocity of twenty-one
feet second, and the condensed steam is
found to make up for the vapor carried off
1t Is stated that even better results can be
obtained by using two sets of partitions at
right angles to each other so as to break up
the currents of air. By means of this ap-
paratus the same eondensing water can ba
used repeatedly. an important item when
