Arti- ficial ventilation should be draughtless, variable and equally distributedâ€"a com- bination of qualities with." These are the principles which Dr. Glover Lyon, physician to the Cityof London Hospital for Diseases of the hardly ever met Chest, has made the basis of experiments ' extending over more than twenty years. He is a recognized expert on ventilation. “At the House of Commons,” he re- marked during a recent interview, “fresh air ascends through the floor, after being very carefully filtered and heated. The same'process which filters out the dust thins the air and gives it a- curious dead quality, and, in \any case, air should not . enter a room through the floor. “Nothing can be more absurd than, as at St. Stephen's and the New Bailey, to conduct air from a height into a base- ment and then fonce it through long ilucs into the various parts of the building. There ‘is enormous waste of power and To supply any single part of a building it is ,Iiecessary to put all the plant in opera- 1011. HOW’ TO IMPROVE APPETITE. “The only really reflective method is to supply each room with air directly from the adjoining armosphere, and pro- vide a special fan for exhausing the foul air as well as that for supplying it. When air is supplied through holes near the top of a room and removed through holes near the floor the best air in a room is constantly being withdrawn. for the best is always found near the floor, while the fresh air supplied is fouled as it enters the room, for the had an natural-1y tends to rise. By a system of ‘baille plates,’ which distribute fresh air through the room at a moderate height and remove foul air in the same way, I believe I have solved the problem. There is a slow sweep of air across the room, without draught. ‘ “If restaurant proprietors realized, as I do. the difference pure air in a dining room makes to the appetite they would very quickly remedy the defects one so constantly meets with. I have proved that in a room ventilated to my satisfac- tion the average person cats and drinks a third more than usual. Every particle is tasted properly, and the odor of one course cannot mar the next. “It ought not to be possible to find courts of justice so oppressive that jud- ges, counsel and jury all protest. I am convinced that the science of ventilation has not yet received from engineers and architects one-half the attention it de- serves.” / wâ€"‘fl AN HISTORIC NEWSPAPER. The London Times ’Was First Published in 1788. The recent reported sale of the “Times” of London, has aroused interest through- out the whole world. The Times made its first appearance in 1785 as “The Daily Universal Register." which was_,publislied by JohnIValter in Printing House square. In 1788 its title was changed to the present one. The found-er, Mr. Walter, was an underwrit- er at Lloyd‘s, a man of extreme energy and business capacity. The early career of the paper was chequered. It attack-ed the Duke of York, Georg-e Ill.’s son, as the result of which Walter was ordered to be imprisoned for a year, to stand in the. pillory for an hour, and to pay a fine ,lifsififit'). Further attacks on the Royal ) Family led to an increase of the fine and the term of imprisonment. THE SECOND JOIIN WALTER. In 1803 John Walter the second, the non of the older Walter, took over the ()ontrol, and distinguished himself by or- ganizing the system of foreign corres- pondence for which “The Times has been during the past century, so remarkable. His successds were famous. The first news of the surrender of Flushing and of the battle of Waterloo appeared in the columns of his journal. In 1814 be printed “The Times" by steam, and intro- duced the Walter press, which revolution- ized the art. of printing. From 1816 to 1841 Mr. Barnes was the editor of “The Times”; in 184i he was succeeded by the more famous Delano, whose reign only ended in 1877. In 1847 the third John Walter succeeded t-- the proprietorshlp, and carried out with great skill and energy the changes necessitated by the advent of the tele- graph and the spread of railways. De- lano. went everywhere and knew every- one. He secured such prestige for his journal that it was constantly used as a channel of communication with the pub- llC by the British and foreign Govern- nonts. In 1877 he retired, and was suc- ceeded by Prof. Chenery, to whom, again, succeeded in 1884 the present editor, Mr. Gtorge Buckle, then only in his thirtieth year. In 180i, the present, or fourth John Walter succeeded to the control of “The Times,” and under his administra- tion its standpoint has been moderate and independent Unionism. v 'A‘ Recent Admiralty experiments prove that coal keeps best under water. partic- '. uiariy sea-water. l‘. is easier for the average man to Stew the line than it is for him not to step over i! later.

Burma, once forbidden, has become at- tractive to tourists. Steamships from Liverpool run direct to Rangoon, the great city of the country, and a book has been published for the use of travellers to: pleasure. There is much to see that is novel in Burma and visitors have only to plan their journey for the cooler months between November and March to have a good time. , Travellers are cautioned not to make personal remarks about the Burmans they may meet. The more intelligent na- tives probably understand English, and in any case they are very sensitive to ridicule. The women of the country are very charming at a distance, but do not bear close inspection. They are quite as naive as the Japanese and far more free in their ways, but they greatly resent f_a- miliarity. They are the merchants of the market places, and the traveller must have his wit about him or he will be over- reached in trade. The Government has found it necessary to warn all white com- ers against the “intelligence and business capacity" of these women merchants. You may travel by rail or steamboat up the majestic Irawadi w»Mandalay, the capital of Upper Burma, in the heart of the country. You may steam up that river to Bhamo, far above Mandalay, on the splendid steamers that ply from Ran- goon to the head of navigation. Rangoon has become a great commer- cial city, as much European as Burmese, so that it does not offer the surprises that an- found further inland, though its pa- gcdas are among the most magnificent In Asia. For massive grandeur the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, with its huge dome over- laid with gold leaf, has few equals in the world, and the Burmese take special pride in it. For 350 miles up the river from Ran- goon the country may be said to be one vast rice field. Burma is the largest pro- ducer of rice, and for several months during the shipping season tourists see at every railroad and steamboat station long lines of rice bags piled up eight feet high awaiting transport to the rice mills and the decks of Rangoon. The greatest objects of interest at Mon- dalay are King Thebaw's palaces, where lived that weak ruler and his handsome queen, who controlled him and incited the bloody deeds that made him infam- ous. The palaces stand in a walled en- closure four miles square, pierced with guard gates and surrounded by a moat. Thebaw and his queen now live in India, prisonens of the British Government. Today there is not an article of the furniture in any of the palaces. A part of the queen's palace was used for a while as a club for Europeans, but Lord (Zurzon ordered it to be given up, as all the buildings are of teak and a fire might easily destroy everything. Nearly every building has its curious history. One of the structures is a watch tower of solid wood, started and com- pleted in one day by Thobaw’s father, who told the builder that unless be com- pleted the structure in twenty-four hours in: would be beheaded. All visitors have a talk with Capt. Red- nian, who was iiiiprison-ed with, other Europeans by Thebaw. For a week he and the other whites were led out «every day to be beheaded, but for some reason were remanded to prison. They were all released when the British forces came up, but the strain was too great for one of the unfortunates, who went mad in that week. It was Thebaw who, incited by his wife, put to death under circumstances of great brutality between seventy and .eighty princes, princesses and high officials in February, 1870. The outburst of horror and indignation which these massacres caused led soon after to the overthrow of Thebaw and the occupation of his country by the British. .â€" I!"

Four of the best doctors in Prince Edward Island were unable to help him and he seemed doomed to a life of misery and despair. But h‘opo came to him when. he read of what Dr. William-5' Pink Pills had. done for other sufferers from paralytsis. ‘He procured a supply of the Pills and began taking them. Gradually they broke the chains of disâ€" ease that bound him, and filled his whole body with new blood, life and vigor. Mr. McDoniald sayszâ€"‘I am a farmer and in consequence have a great deal of hard work to do. One day while about my work I injured my back, but at. the time I paid little at- tention- to the injury and continued my work. As time went on, though, the pain became more severe and I soon found myself unable to lift any- thing no matter how light. It was not long before I had to stop work at- together and consult a doctor. He tneated me but his treatment did not help me and I rapidly grew worse. 1 had to take to my bed, and in the hope that my spine might receive strength I was encased .i-n plaster of parts cast.
