WINDS AND pRAucHTs
Scientist shows That the Former Are
Beneficial aud the Latter Dangerous.

/ "V'hliHi SHOWS Ihat the Former Are
Beneficial aud the Latter Dangerous.
Professor Max Herr, an Austrian
scientist, has just published an essay
upon the difference between wind and
draught which is likely to convince the
public that the old-fashioned prejudice
against draughts is not altogether un-
justified
BY Il draught is meant the currents
of air In an enclosed space. Our fore
fathers attributed nearly all the evils
that beset them to draughts, and they
would not have slept in uncurtained
beds for anything. OF course their
windows and doors were shaky and
houses stood far apart, so draughts
were nearly inevitable But the mod
ern scientific world tries to deny
draughts altogether, and .alls them
winds, which are harmless and even
healthy to a certain degree.
DR.. Herr says that any one who cares
to find out the difference between
wind and a draught can do so i'm any
apartment which has windows on diff
ferent sides of the house. Let him
open window on a windy day on the
side of the house toward which the
wind blows. The air which comes in is
quite harmless if the person exposed
TO it be dressed in warm clothes. and
little children may take the air in
room thus ventilated. But let him open
window past which the wind blows,
and il will be found that the air in the
room is moved by n number of cur
rents, all of which strive to reach the
opening. 1t is the passing wind which
sucks up the air in the room and draws
it out, and this causes the room to have
what is called a draught.
The effect upon sensitive persons is
