it that the two subjects are treated under one heading. Air is rapidly vitiated in an auditorium filled with people, and if kept warm, but not renewed with fresh air, will soon sicken the audience— cause fainting and headaches and have other generally disagreeable results. There are various ventilating systems, each with its supporters, and each possessing its good points. There is the system which contem- plates forcing air, by means of electric fans, through a spray of cooled water or over chilled pipes, or through ice vaults into the theatre, and exhausting it through ceiling ports after it has been vitiated; there is a system which contem- plates forcing the air in at the ceiling and ex- hausting it through the floor ducts, and there is the system which provides for forcing in a large volume of air and permitting it to find its own means of egress, through doors, windows, etc. Ceiling and wall fans are often used to supplement these systems. The writer does not recommend any special system above any other, but he does insist upon the importance of a proper system of ventila- tion, to be effective and yet economical in oper- ation, to keep the house cool in summer and fresh and sweet-smelling in winter.
