the immediate removal downward of any
dust from the carpet which would thus be
prevented from rising to be inhaled into
the lungs"
How important this last is can be readily
understood when one considers the amount
of dust and germs stirred up by the 700 or
more feet which are constantly moving on
and over the heavy carpet in the hall Be
sides, as every physician will tell us, there
is a constant exhalation from the pores
OF the skin of the three to four hundred
persons in the ball besides that given off
by the lungs Of all these, poisoning the at
mosphere and rendering 1t unfit to breathe,
and which, with the dust and germs and
the odors from the cuspdors, are all car
ried upward by the up draft, where they
must be inhaled, for there is no possibility
of escaping them, whereas, If the down
draft were adopted, all these would be drawn
through the floor and carried away. while
the occupants would breathe the pure air
brought in from above. The advantages
and benefit of the down-draft system are
so obvious that there would seem to be
1t. Even the laymen ought to be able to
see 1t, scientists like Bache, Henry and
others did, and was clearly demon
strated by the report of General NORM, d.
Trades of Paris, and which was considered
so important that 1t was republished in
the Smithsonian reports for 1873 and IA
Even before that. in 1s4s or 9. Henry
Rutan Of Canada had devised and patent ed

and the United States. and in 1862 he pub

merous Illustrations showing its applica-
| ton, as there is also in General Morin's re-
| port, above mentioned. 1t would seem that
this plan, which is acknowledged by the
authorities as the best, ought to be ap-
Piled at the Capitol. for if a change Is to

Ventilation of the Capitol.
lie Editor of The Evening Star:

To the EdltOr or The Evening Star:
1 notice that plan for improving the
ventilation of the House of Representatives
has been prepared, in which, stated, ar
engagements are made for forcing the air
from above downward, but as l under
stand it that IS merely for cooling the
hall at times, and that the warm air is
to be forced upward through the floor and
legs of the seats the same. l suppose, as is
now down in the Senate. 1t is great pity
that the down current plan had not been
adopted for ventilation at all times. as
has been repeatedly recommended by nu-
merous commissions who have investigated
the subject since 1865, and as was proposed
by General MeiSs in 1858, as already set
forth in Senate report No. 12S. page 49,

was Endorsed by Profs Bach and Henry
