PLEA FOR VENTILATION
BY MEDICAL SOCIETY
Only Remedy in Lowering
Windows From the
Top.

Contributed by the Medical Society of the Dis
trict Of Columbia.)
No one educated in hygiene could toler-
ate the inherently faulty construction of
the American railroad carriage. Were
the ventilators in the top of car always
opened the atmosphere would be at least
tolerable: but the regulation of this mat
ter is In the hands of conductors. who are
of necessity ill-educated men and there
fore cannot be expected to understand
the laws of ventilation without special
training. This is not given by the COM
pany. In addition, the more frequently
the ventilatorS are opened the greater is
the amount of cleaning to be done to the
car, as their position on the roof of the
carriage is such as to facilitate the en-
trance of smut from the engine. The
lower windows open from below upward,

necessary to subject ones self to the dan

more important is it to prevent abdominal

cholera belts for this purpose.
Ones choice. therefore, lies between the
devil of abdominal chill and the deep sea

Neglect in Public Places.

l. Places of assembly are notoriously
dangerous disseminators of infection
churches are especially guilty in this re-
spect, for most of them were built to ac-
cord with medieval architectural GUS
toms. Expired air remains in the build
ing from week to week: 1t becomes chilled
and it's solid matter is deposited on walls
and floors along with the moisture II
contains. To prevent this several large
windows high up in the wall should be
opened during and after the service.
When the air is thoroughly renewed. the
windows may be closed until the time
of the next service, during which period
artificial heat may warm the walls and
air.
III. Theaters are much better adapted
to ventilation; but too rarely are the
windows opened at the conclusion OF the
performance; and the theater IS left all
night to be saturated by human emana-
tions. The consequence is an unpleasant
odor and a stuffy feel Of the air. The
highest windows should be freely opened
for at least half an hour after each per-
formance. and then closed to retain the
warmth Of the furnaces. If necessary,
they may be opened during or at the end
of the first act The opening OF the door
or lower windows is Of very little use
and creates a most uncomfortable draught
in the orchestra seats.
III. Large Office and factory build
ngs with mechanical systems of ventila-
ton have seldom enough fresh air. Pale
faces. flabby muscles, susceptibility to in
fections and inefficient work are the re-
suits.
Remarkable proof of this is afforded by
the experiment of the National Electric
Lamp Company i'll Cleveland. For eX-
ample. one large factory was supposed to
be adequately ventilated until phys
ical director was appointed who believed
otherwise. He was permitted to provide
large openings near the roof. Careful
measurement OF the output were made for
one month before and after this was done

Japan's Song Crickets.
From Harper's Weekly.

Selling crickets is a lucrative business
in Japan, where the insects are valued
for their songs and kept In cages like
canary birds. In Toxic there are two
wholesale merchants who send their.
agents into the streets of the large cities
The insects are carried in little bamboo
cages. A good seller clears approximately
from so cents to 81 a day. An insect
valued for its music brings from to !.
cents. The kusa hibari is the most val
liable of all the songsters. but the com
mon cricket and the grasshoppers are
considered excellent singers.
The singers are collected from the fields
in September, before laying time. They
are taken from the grass and shut mp in
glass Jars. Soon after they are imprs.
oned the females lay their eggs and die
almost Immediately afterward The jars
containing them are kept in a tempera-
ture Of 50 degrees centigrade
The young come forth in March.
The loss OF eggs is about 10 per cent
The male is the singer; he only is an OBJ
iect of commerce: and from loo eggs the
cultivator. despite all his care, has only
fifty salable insects The lot of the locLst
is a martyrdom from birth to death. Ih.

Early Civil Servants.
from the London Chronicle


The old-time civil servant had many ad-
vantages over his modern successor. Sir
Algernon West. who received an ad-
mralty appointment in 1851. was the last
clerk that ever entered the public service
without any examination whatever.
Bernal Osborne was then the parlia-
mentary secretary 10 the admiralty" he
writes, "and congratulated me on this.
Soon afterward there was a vacancy in
the office. and the son of friend of his
was nominated. who had not had the ad-
vantage. as We all knew. of a too liberal
education. We juniors trembcd for the
result: but Bernal Osborne said the first
examination was so important that he
should conduct it himself. which he did
to the utmost satisfaction Of the candi-
date, who was reported to have passed
with flying coloTs. especially in theology.

More Pay for Clerks.

Ten per cent was added to the pay OF
the clerks in the employ of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway company by
the board of directors. The order was
promulgated several days ago. The in
crease, however, is not uniform to all
clerks. The increase goes to the men
who have been in the employ Of the
company for more than six months and
who receive less than $3.50 month.
That shuts out many who were given a
slight increase a year ago. The entire
system of the road is involved In the
increase, so it is expected that not
less than 100000 will be added to the
expense account President Stevens said
