VENTILATION.
One Method That May Possibly Suit
FRESHMAN CrankS.

One Of the greatest difficulties met with in
ventilating public buildings and railway cars
is to settle the ques ION of how much air shall
be admitted or how often the entire cubic con-
tents of an apartment shall be renewed. This
from the fact thai In the quantity of air re.
qulred individuals vary greatly. To some the
whole ocean of the atmosphere is inadequate,
ana they do not feel even comfortable unless
a Niagara Of al: is pouring over them.
This is the fresh-alr fend m le or female,
who opens The car window and swallows dust
and cinders, and makes others do the same, for
The SAKE OF satisfying their craving. Behind
sits, doubtless, person 20 whom the least
breath of air iu motion is calamity, yet both
of them must make the journey in company.
One has Just as much rignt as The other to his
views OF what Is desirable TO MIN. and neither
Is called upon TO give way 10 the other; one
smOtners and the other feels hat he or she is
about 10 be blown out of the car
The only compromise that we can think OF
that would answer and make ventilation of
public rooms a success, Is to provide all auto
maize system which shall be varia BILE in differ
eut parts of the same room. These PARTS should
b supplied with traps IN the floor, and have,
say, six-secOnd fanblower beneath each trap,
and be accessible only to fresh-air liends of
both sexes
In The other parts dead air space, approach
ing vacuum should be maintained, into which
a little sulphurel of hydrogen should be in
jeeted periodically. in order 10 obtain all the
phenomena of bad ventilation for persons of
infirm health who are compelled 10 travel
Then every one would be satiShed-if the plan

Has Mnchrist Gone?
A question being asked in the quiet little
town of Elmhurst, just east of Oakland, is
where is Robert Milchrist ?
MilchriSt is well-known man in Elm
hurst, and has always borne an excellent
reputation. He has kept general mer-
chandsing and hardware store there for
the past two years, and he and his family
have always moved In the best cir les of
the little town.
Recently he sold his business out to
couple of Iowa men, Stewart and Hen
bricks, who had moved to Elmhurst from
Iowa with their families. 1t S stated that
it was cash deal. and that since he has
left the place.
Inquiry from an Emhurst citizen elic-
tea the fact that Mile hrist was not there
Saturday. ana that he had not seen him on
Sunday. "His family" said this informant,
SIS still here. MIR. Milchrist himself has al
ways been we'll regarded, and L have no
doubt in the world that everything is
straight, and that he will turn up all
right"
The report is that the merchant owes
large sums of money, and that Wellman,
Peck g. Co. of San Francisco are heavy
creditors.
