Regulating Heat of a Room.

The neatest arrangement for regulating
the heat of a room that 1 ever saw or
heard of has been introduced into two or
three of the new hotels in New York.
1t is little dial like the face of clock
or an aneroid barometer or thermometer
imbedded in the wall. The rim is grad
from 80 to so degrees. And by moving
the pointer from one figure to another the
heat in the room may be increased or
diminished. In the room occupied
there was a steam radiator in the recess
under the window protected by an iron
openwork screen and covered with win
dow seat upholstered in Russia leather.
There was no way of reaching the ra-
diator without taking off the seat or re-
moving the screen, but that was not
necessary. All one had to do to regulate
the temperature Of the room was to
move the little pointer on the dial and
thus open or close the valve in the pipe
which conducted the steam into the ra-
dator. If the pointer was pushed around
to fifty. the supply of steam was practi-
cally cut off: if it were placed at eighty
the valve was entirely open and the cir
culation of steam was free.
When entered the room it seemed very
warm-uncomfortably so-and I asked the
bell boy who carried my bag to shut off
the heat. Instead of going to the ra-
diator and turning the screw. as is GUS
tomary, he went to the dial on the wall
and asked
Would 40 degrees suit you. sir?"
Then he moved the pointer around to
the figure seventy and opened the Win
dow. 1t was Il cold. frosty day, and in
a few moments the hot air had escaped
through the window. When it was closed
the temperature remained at 20 until
went to bed. Then l shut offsthe steam
entirely for the night. When | woke in
the morning I jumped out of bed and
turned the pointer to eighty. which caused
the room to be comfortably warm in a
very few minutes
This was the first time | had seen such
an arrangement. and on inquiry I dis
covered that it is recent invention
which has been adopted in several of the
most modern hotels and apartment houses
in New York city. and is also being in
PRODUCED into private residences. The dia
has an electrical connection with d valve
in the steam pipe. where the latter is at
tached to the radiator. and can be opened
or closed by moving the little pointer
The scale OH the dial is so adjusted as to
correspond with the degree of heat pro-
duced by opening and closing the valve.

Prohibition in Mississippi.


The Mississippi legislature has passed
law abolishing all the saloons in that state
December 81. 1903, and prohibiting the
sale of liquor within it's limits from and
after that date. 1t is a very stringent
law: the terms are rigid and the penal
ties are severe which adds another to the
list of prohibition states-Maine, Kansas,
Oklahoma. Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sippi.
II is expected that two other states will
i go dry this winter.
Michigan. however. refuses to join the
prOhibitionists. An amendment TO the
constitution was recommended by a com
mittee to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of malt vinouS and alcoholic liquors
i'm that state after May ]. 1902. except for
scientific. sacramento and medicinal pur-
poses but the constitutional convention
refused to adopt it, and loca} option
stands.
AS i: is understood here. tie prOhlbl-
ton movement is sweeping Missouri. and
public sentiment is becoming so strong
that the legislature will he compelled to
enact "A prohibitory law or lose the CON
