Because of this and other experi- ments it has been suggested by sev- eral writers that electric, fans be used to counteract the effects of bad air whenever there is objection to a. current of fresh air. Perhaps stale air constantly stirred up may be better than stagnant stale aim] but will not those who object to drafts of any kind oppose even the fan, except when it cools? Those who cultivate drafts know that air in motion, when it does not chill, is beneficial, and most beneficial when it is fresh. VICEROY 0F 1301A IN] URED Some recent experiments are held to have shown that fresh air is not so necessary to health as air in mo- tion. In a hermetically sealed room Professor Flugge and seven stu- dents became nearly exhausted from rebreathed air until electric; fans were set in motion, when im- mediate relief was felt. The ex- periment does not seem to have proceeded to the point of determin- ing how long the lack of air from outside the room could continue. clothes and no driving rain find us withput an umbrella. Then we should indeed have a lovely" cli- mate. We have a bureau which tells us what the weather is likely to be. It is usually correct in its surmises.
