mer. This seems ridiculous but just try It and
watch the Thermometer.
Place the fan the floor at one side OF the
steam radiator, or better yet, direct the current
downward upon It. In very few minutes the
entire atmosphere Of the room will have been
in contact with the hot metal and you will feel
the difference even before the thermometer re-
spends.
In the average steam-heated room there is a
small area close to the radiator which Is too hot
for comfort and the rest Of the room is too cold.
Up above heads there Is plenty of warm air
which does good whatever.

A COW with a WOODEN LEG

TT used to be thought that when cow
broke her leg there was nothing to do but
~ shoot the animal. But DR. James NJ. ].
Galloway, a Scottish veterinary surgeon, has
lately proved that a COW can be fitted with an
artificial leg as easily as a human being.
More than year ago a train struck q COW
belonging TO one CT Dr.. Galloway's clients and
cut off leg. Finding that the animal was
injured in no other way, he performed an
amputation and AZ soon as the wound had
healed he fitted wooden leg OF ingenious

The fan not only removes the not air from the
vicinity of the radiator and brings up the cold
air from the distant corners, but It pulls down
the great reserve OF otherwise useless air along
the ceiling.

fashion will be shocked to learn that 1t is said to

this matter It will add greatly to their comfort
during the cold days.

know that he is getting more than hi. share OF
the general supply OF steam. The fan, In heating

condenses the steam. This in time is replaced
by more steam from the boiler which would have

one of the finest school grounds IN
Delaware and one of the best buildings

the sanitary conditions are good with one
exception, and that is a trouble Of long
standing the cess pools and so-called
toilets. They are wooden structures built
a little distance from the school building
and in the school grounds, where more
than four hundred children are supposed
20 use daily for ten months IN each year.
1t is an impossibilitv to keep them sani-
tarv and in the SAME condition as other
schools of similar importance in other
towns keep theirs. There is no cause for
this condition of affairs, as the school
does not owe any bonded debt, and the
matter has been called to the attention Of
the school officers in previous reports by
this board The opinion was unanimous, .
that a brick building must be erected at
a suitable point next to and connecting
with the present school building at the
level of each floor a system of toilets
that will wipe away this nuisance which .
is a disgrace to Smyrna and detrimental .
to the public health The teachers are at .
present compelled to beg the use of neigh /
boring residences for toilet use, and that
the boys and girls of Smyrna should be
subjected to such conditions is intolerable.
The Board will recommend that the State
withhold payment of any of the
State money appOrtioned to the Smyrna
Public Schools until the requirements are
met, or satisfactorily adjusted. A sewer
passes in front of the school. These schools
have a very excellent corps Of teachers,
and they are doing fine work; its the
sanitary conditions that need attention.
