The Punishment of the Bagao.

In former times the punishment OF
the Bsgno (bath), one of the most
cleverly cruel inaictions ever devised
by an official of the torture chamber,
was administered in Italy, probably
in Venice, where the water of the Ia
goons played so prominent part in
it's penal system. The punishment was
as follows:
The prisoner was placed in q vat, the
sides Of which were slightly in excess
of the average height Of man. In
order to hold in check the rising tide
of a supply OF water which ran into the
vat in constant stream. the criminal
was furnished with a scoon with which
to bale out the water as fast as it
came in.
The respite from death by INNER
sion thus obtained was more or less
prolonged according to the powers of
endurance possessed by the victim.
But imagine the moral torture, the
exhausting and even hideously gro
tesoue effort, the incessant and pitt.
less toll by night and day to staye of
the dread moment fast approaching
when, overcome by sleep and fatip-
he was unable to struggle any
against his fate. LIE Moniteur de 3

for burning gas or oil. The reason
for this is that the builder will not give
the architect his own way or else at
tempts an economy in line where he
thinks it will not show. If plans are
carefully prepared by those who have
had wide experience and who always
avail themselves of expert advice in
every branch of construction, and If
they are scrupulously followed by the
contractor, there is little chance for
failure in the heating line. On the
other hand, if plan for house in
one locality is copied or modified for
different location, or if an inexpe-
rienced person draws up ''pretty de-
sign" that suits his individual taste
and gives it to builder to work out,
there is certain to be many expensive
experiments before the house is fit to
live in during our severe winters.
Among the controllable causes OF i'll

considering that of ventilation. The
