For artificially cooling living rooms cold
air refrigeration has been proposed and in
IA few cases used. American Architect is
credited with the following comments
upon this plan:
Weare told that the use of ice for cooling
rooms causes "dampness, while the am
monia apparatus produces "a pure, dry
cold" 1t is hardly necessary to say that
the facts are just the other way When
warm air, which, in Inhabited buildings
is always moist air, passes over ice, the
moisture of the air is condensed by the re
duction of temperature and deposited on
the ice, to be carried away with the drain
age water from the ice, and the air which
passes beyond the ice is not only cool, but
comparatively dry, as its moisture has
been, so to speak, wrung out of it by the
ice. With pipes filled with ammonia
chilled liquid running through the room
to be cooled, the case is reversed. All the
moisture originally contained in tho all
remains in the room. Such air as comes
in contact with the cold pipes will deposit
its moisture in the form Of drops of water,
which will either fall on the floor or must
be collected in some way and drained off,
while the remaining air will be held at the
point of saturation. A more unwholcsome
atmospheric ,ndition it would be difficult
to conceive than the rceking, dripping,
chilly dampncss of % room to which such
cooling system has been applied.

In conversation with one of tie owners
in the Bangor, Orono & Old Town Elec-
trio Railroad, yesterday, the Journal was
informed that the road was opened to the
public as far as Veazie on July 9, and the
receipts for the first day IS traffic was 500.
July IA. the cars reached Orono. and the
receipts of the first day were 1855. The
line was completed and the first cars ran
to Old Town on July IS, and the first
days work amounted to $403. The re
ceipts for the first 10 days which the road
was run were $4,000. The company has
only six cars running, but intended to
have and ordered accordingly, eight box
cars and eight open cars, but the recent
development of the riding capacity of the
distance covered by the, road, has led the
company to order four more cars. making
the total equipment 20 cars, which will be
constantly employed. This roads bust
ness promises to be one of the most lucra-
tive in the State, as it has . patronage of
over 40, 900 people who reside within two
miles of its line and terminals.

The most unique contrivance in Maine
for keeping n lawn sprinkled Is that of G..
H. Warren of Auburn. The fence around
the lawn is built of ordinary iron water
pipes, aud is jointed so as to make con-
tinuous circuit for the water which IL

Waldo hay dealers report that not more
than half the export of hay OF last
years crop has been forwarded Much
more Is consumed on the farms than
formerly, consequently much less Ia sent
away, and of this n large amount still re-
mains in the farmers barns throughout
the county and in the storeliptises of tho
shippers. Most of Waldo codutys crop
now finds market in Boston and on ths
islands of the Maine coast. Formerly
Waldo county shipped over 20, 600 tons per
year, mostly to Charleston. Jacksonville
and other southern ports. Now the year
ly shipments do not average half that
