opening the windows, the latter are
often allowed to remain closed in win
ter, owing to the low temperature out
side. Or, if they are opened and the
cold air admitted, increased heat must
then be provided to make the rooms
comfortable again An improved heat
ing and yentilating system recently de-
vised by George II. Ennis solves the
problem in a much better manner than
is possible with the open window. The
main feature of the apparatus, as
shown is the installation of a central
ventilating shaft connecting with the
several rooms. Inside this shaft is
carried the direct heating pipe from
the furnace, with branches entering
each room near the ceiling. The hot
air naturally rises through the pipes,
and is discharged into the various
rooms, where it depresses the colder
air in the room, and this finds an exit
through the opening close to the floor,
ascending thence to the top Of the
shaft, and passing out Thus the cold
air is constantly withdrawn from the
room and replaced by the warm air.
Now, II the air for heating is obtained
through a duct leading from the outer
atmosphere into the furnace and thence
to the air shaft the system will be
found well-nigh perfect. In summer
this same system may be utilized to
cool the air of the rooms by displacing
the warm air in the building with the
cooler air from the basement.
