There is. he thinks, no reason why some
rooms should always get the sunlight and
the remainder he always damp and un-
healthy. The idea is not entirely new.
Some years ago a revolving house was
built in Normandy. The door was con-
structed of thin boards. which glided
over each other as the house was turned.
On one occasion these boards spread out
like an opened fan. closing the exit. The
inmate. terrified by his experience, had
