Peril Of the TurnstiIe Door.

II is surprising that the turnstilo
door has not long ago aroused a strong
protest on the ground that II consti'
tutes a menace to public safety. We
say this with due appreciation of the
ingenuity of this device. and the sue
cess with which II aceomrlishes Its
desired end of preventing the thrush
OF cold air which accompanies the
opening and shutting OF doors OF the
ordinary hinged type. The object of
the turnstile door Is To provide an in
termittently obstructed passageway
OF a building. and II certainly fuiflls
its end only too well, The peril of
this device lies In the fact that, In SO
successfully shutting the cold air out
II effectuaily shuts the occupants of
the building IT, The drafty effects of
the ordinary door are avoided by per.
mitting only small pockets OF air to
enter In slow succession. and the men
nee OF the door lies In that fact that
people can pass through this same exit
In these same rotating pockets only
one at n time. II Is trhe. remarks the
Scientific American. that the leaves
OF the revolving door are arranged 10
fold together. thereby allowing two
persons to pass the door abreast: but
In the event OF panic the jam might he
