WHEN TO AIR YOUR ROOM.

1t is generally believed that when
the atmosphere of room is impure the
fact will be sufficiently noticeable to
person of normal constituencies without
the aid of an instrument to inform him
of the fact That this is not so, how
ever, is evident to anyone who re-
members how the sutiocating odors of
an overcrowded meeting room impress
their disagreeable presence on person
coming in from the pure air outside,
while, to all appearances, the persons
in the room are quite unaware Of the
air being bad. To remedy this state of
things and show just how bad or other
wise the atmosphere of a room ia,
Swiss inventor has just completed an
instrument which shows the exact con-
dition OF the air. 1t consists of an air.
tight glass receptacle, in which is placed
a red liquid. A bent glass tube is in
serted into this fluid, and up this tube
runs, to drop at the rate of one drop in
two minutes on cord that is stretched
by weight. This fluid possesses the
property of changing color when SUBJ
mitted to the action of carbonic acid gas.
The more of this gas there is in
the air, the more pronounced
the change in the color ofthe liquid.
With this fact in mind, the principles
on which the Indicator works are
easily understood. The drops of fluid,
as they fall on the string, change it ac-
cording to the condition of the atmos-
phere. Should the atmosphere be per-
fectly pure the string remains red all
the way down. Should it be slightly
tainted the top of the string appears
white. The fouler the air the longer
the white mark on the string. By the
side of the string runs an indicator,
graded to show the exact condition of
the air. The highest point on the scale
marks "pure," the next "passably
pure" the next "bad," and from there
down to VERY bad" and extremely
bad" The instrument has been thor
oughly tested and found to work per-
fectly.-N Y Herald.
