Recently while other Washing- ton people were sweltering he work- ed in a room which had been cooled to 65 degrees. His plan, which can be used by anybody, is to store ice in the garret and conduct the cooler air to rooms below. : Explaining his discovery to the National Geographic society, Dr. Bell declared, "You heat your house in winter, why not cool it in summer? We get up to the Arctic regions and heat our houses and live. We go down to the tropics and die. Cold Air Won't Run Out "I have found one radical defect in the construction of our houses that absolutely precludes the possibility of cooling them to any degree. You will readily understand the difficulty when you remember that cold air is heavier than warm air. You can take a bucket of cold air for example, and carry it about in the summertime and not spill a drop, but if you make a hole in th ebottom of the bucket, of course the cold air will all run out. "I began to think that it might be possible to apply the bucket principle at least to one room in my Washing- ton home and thus get a place of re- | BN treat in the summertime. It seemed to be advisable to close up all open- ings near the bottom of the room to prevent the escape of cold air, and open the windows at the top to let out the heated air of the room. "Now it so happens that I have in the basement of my house a swim- ming tank and it occurred to me that since this tank holds water it should certainly hold cold air. So I turned the water out and made a room of it. The tank seemed to be damp and the sides felt wet and slippery. Fills Refrigerator With Ice "I reflected, however, that the con- densation of moisture resulted from the fact that the sides of the tank were cooler than the air admitted. Water vapor will not condense on anything that is warmer than itself, and it occurred to me that if I in- troduced air that was much colder than I wanted to use, then it would be warming up in the tank and be- coming dryer all the time. It would not deposit moisture om the sides and would actually absorb the moist- ure there. "I therefore provided a refrigerat- or in which were placed large blocks | of ice covered with salt. This was | placed in another room at a higher elevation than the tank, and a pipe covered with asbestos was employed to lead the cold air into the tank. Retreates to His Tank "The first effect was the drying of the walls and then I felt the level of the cold air gradually rising. At last it came over my head. The tank was full and I found myself immersed in cool air. I felt so cool and comfort- able that it seemed difficult to believe that Washington stood sizzling out- side. I climbed up the ladder' in the tank until my head was abeve sur- face, and then found myself breathing a hot, damp, muggy atmosphere. I therefore speedily returned into the | tank, where I was perfectly cool and ! comfortable. PH 'AND WE ALL WITH SA "Guided by this experience, I tried another experiment in my house. I| put the refrigerator in the attic and! led the cold air downward through | a pipe covered with asbestos into one of the rooms of the house. The doors were kept shut and ths windows were opened at the top. The temperature in that room was perfectly comfortable at about 65 de- grees. "Some time ago th: newspapers were speaking of an ice plant that had been installed in the White House, and congratulated the presi- dent, then Mr. Taft, upon a tem- perature of only 80 degrees when the thermometer showed 100 degrees out- side. Under similar conditions I en- |} joyed in my house a temperature of 65 degrees: (the ideal temperature), with a delicious feeling of freshness in the air."
