Prof Willis l.. Moore chief of the
weather bureau, has invented an ap-
paratus for cooling dwellings that
promises to become as essential to the
comfort of a dwelling in summer as
heating apparatus in winter. Prof
Moore says that the cost of. cooling a
given space with his machihe is ap-
proximately the same as that of heat
ing the same space by means Of q stove
or furnace. Besides this, the different
uses to which the machine may be put
are unlimited. He expects 1t to prove
of great value to hospitals, particularly
for reducing the temperature of wards
in which fever patients are confined
and in addition TO its use for cooling
residences and hotels, he says it solves
the problem OF individual cold storage
