LABOR REPORT.
Compilation of Glasses and Sexes En-

Compilation of Glasses and Sexes EN-
ployed in This Country.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 12.-The
eleventh annual report of the depart
ment of labor has just transmitted to
Congress by Congressman Wright. 1t
relates entirely to the work and wages
of men, women and children. 1t shows
the proportion of women to the whole
working class is increasing, while that
of children is decreasing. Agents OF
the department have secured lntorma-
ton from 1867 establishments of vari-
Gus kinds located in thirty dltferent
states and employing 14S,347 persons
number large enough to insure that
the data collected is thoroughly rep
resentative. Complete data sought Tor
however, was obtained from only 93l
establishments. These 931 establish
ments employed 64,56O persons in '95
and los, GAS in go.
OF this number in the first period,
26479 were males, Is years old or over,
as against As, 1875 in the second, and
4,175 males under IS years of age as
against 7,540 in the second. In the first
period 27,163 were males Is years Of
age or over, and 6,743 females under
Is years of age, as against 45,1S2 and
12,,751, respectively, in the present
period. The main reason for the en-
ployment of women and girls usually
is that they are better adapted for the
work at which they are employed.
Other reasons are that they are more
reliable, more easily controlled, cheap
ermore temperate, more easily procur-
able, neater, more rapid, more indus
trious, less liable to strike, learn more
rapidly, etc. The department is now
investigating the effects of machinery
upon labor and the cost of production,
the compilation of wage statistics in
the leading countries of the world, in
vestigation of the liquor problem and
it's economic aspects, inquiry in collab-
grafton with state labor bureaus con-
corning municipal ownership of gas,
water and electric plants, investiga-
ton concerning the economic condi-
tions of Italians in Chicago and pre-
liminary investigation of the economic
progress of negroes in this country.

managed it constantly brings into the
house large body of fresh air, and so
contributes most materially TO the ven
tiiation of the building.
This is effected by furnace placed
in the lower portion of the house,
which being duly provided with flues
and registers, heats and distributes
through all parts of the establishment
a quantity of fresh air in proportion
to the dimensions and capacity of the
air chamber in which il is placed. \
fundamental point of this system is the
supply of pure air to this air chamber,
which should be provided by a duct o.
air passage from that side of the house
On which the air is likely to be the
most pure. But the objections cited
against stoves when made with thin
plates of metal without any lining to
protect them from becoming red hot
apply with equal force to vast ma or-
ity of hot-air furnaces now in use. Air
delivered from a furnace should never
exceed the temperature indicated by
l2O degrees Fahrenheit; where the
heat reaches $50 degrees to $50 degrees
ut the point of delivery, the effects are
undoubtedly pernicious.
The principle to be attended to in
construction of all hot air furnaces is
to generate and communicate the great
est amount of heat with a given guam
tity of fuel, without producing any
change in the breathing property of the
air. a common fault is that the water
pan is allowed to become empty, so that
the heated ali has that dry and stuffy
quality of which many people justly
complain. But with water constantly
evaporating in the furnace, with cold
air drawn from outdoors, and with such
an arrangement of the pipes that
every room will receive its due proper.
ton of heat, there is no system more sat
isfactory for ordinary houses. nor is
any more economical-.an important

Many householders urge objections
TO the hot-air system that at first

glance seem to be well founded. They,
themselves, have these furnaces and
they never tire of recounting their
tribulations with them. They say that
theirs are certain rooms in their houses
that never get a particle of heat, al
though they force the furnace so that
it eats up coal by the ton and makes
rthe rest of the house UNDESIRABLE; and
often an impression exists that certain
pipes and registers will always be ia
yored, and that one or more generally
the one to the north) is bound to go
without heat. Such people will at once
dispute the assertion that each pipe
can be made 10 draw as well as its
fellows, and that every register, proper
" managed, will throw out its quota of
heat.
The one prime fault with most hot
air heaters is that the coad-air box is
very much too small. The size of this
is generally left to the Judgment of
the carpenter and builder, and is made
small SO as not to be in the way. 1t
is simply a physical fact that no
more hot air can be sent out Of the fur

A CIRCULAR RAINBOW.

A Singular Phenomenon Witnessed In tho
Mountains of India.
One of those peculiar atmospheric
phenomena, circular rainbows, was OBJ
served in India by Lieut.. Wheelock
about the middle of August, says the
Chicago Journal. Mr.. Wheelock was
climbing a mountain spur at sunrise.
The atmosphere was clear, but there
was a heavy fog hanging over the val
legs. AS the sun rose rainbow, round
as a circus ring, was seen In the fog
which all but obscured one of the beau
tiful lakes which are so common In
India. Mr.. Wheelock is a trained
meteorologist, and was not at ell aston
ished to see circular rainbow, know
ing, as he did, the conditions under
which it was found. But what attracted
his attention In particular was the
presence Of q bright spot In the exact
center Of the circular bow" This
spot was so intensely luminous that the
observer thought it might be q bush fire
some distance away, but this suppoe1-
ton was soon dispelled by further de-
velopments. Slowly and regularly, and
from all sides at once, the bright CEN
ter spot became surrounded by circles
Of radiating light, each containing all
Of the primary colors, in fact, eaeh
was a perfect miniature circular RAIN
bow. This wonderful phenomenon last
ed for about two hours or until the
sun had risen to such height that the
reflection sank back against the noun
tain side. Mr.. Wheelock watched 1t
until it faded away, pronouncing 1t
the most beautiful and wonderful sight
he bad ever beheld.

mace than cold air goes in. II the cold
box has an aperture of five square feet,
and the hot-air pipes aggregate ten
square feet, ii stands to reason that
half of the hot-air pipes will be starved.
An easy test of the matter is this: Wait
until you have hot fire in your fur
mace, and then open all the registers
and hold lighted candle before each
one in turn. If there is down draught
through one or more of the registers,
the furnace, starved for cold air, is
drawing through one of those with the
least upward draught in order to dis
charge it when heated through the
others. II your hot-air furnace fails to
give satisfaction, and is of reliable
make and in good condition, investigate
your cold-air supply first of all; then
see that each of the lhot-air pipes is
taken only from the crown of the fur
mace; that each pipe has distinct pitch
1.-THE greater the better, and finally
it may be we'll to cover the pipes with
asbestos in order to prevent them from
losing heat by radiation. If you have
a good furnace to begin with, do not
give up until you have mastered the
problem and obtained the results you
should obtain.
The accompanying plan is for house
with hot-air heating.
The width of this house, including
veranda, is 46 feet four inches; its
depth, including front veranda, 46 feet
six inches. It's foundation is of stone

and veranda Enclosure, shingles. The
cellar measures seven feet six inches
in height; the first story, nine feet;
second story, eight feet six inches, and
the attic, eight feet. 1t is finished
throughout with three-coat plaster.

IcoPYRIGHT. 1851
When a man starts out TO build u
house, after having settled the question
of location, size, price and general
style, the most important matter that
remains to be decided is the method of
heating. The larger proportion of
dwellings make use of the air system,
and, all things considered, there is none
that is more satisfactory. Hot air fur
naces offer very convenient means of
communicating warmth to a dwelling
of almost any dimensions-its special
