VENTILATION.

 In th«M d«ji OTery whool bojknowi MMmething aboat ViiiTiLiL* 
 tiON. H« knows, for initoooe, that people moit hare a large and 
 eonitant aapplj of freah air, if tbey would preMrre health and lift } 
 — he knuwa that the breath of man is the most deadly poison-— 
 that '< oolleoted in a jar it will kill miee, and aoonmnlated in « 
 room, it will kill men I" And if he hsve the misfbrtnne to 
 gather knowledge, not fitom a tree in a garden, bat tnm the deak 
 of a dose school room, he has a praotioal ezo||^noe of the pnisoil 
 of knowledge under dilKoalties, and soon^Ks, without /eading 
 about the Blaok Hole of Oaloutta, that mind a£ body are both suf- 
 feriog fur want of fVaph air. If our school boy is n fiahermitn and 
 catches " shiners" to bait for baas, he has probably often seen his 
 bait turn on their backs in his pail of water, and after a little 
 obokUig, quietly expire ; and he knows the cause, tIi : want of air, 
 — that in the water is exhausted, and he has not put freah water in to 
 supply its place. . 
 
 Were a modern ball-room or dwelling air-tight, the inhabitants 
 would soon share the ftte of the "shiners;" but ludiily for 
 them, neither carpenter nor mason work has reached that point of 
 perfection, so they are only slightly suffocated and poisoned, and 
 soon come to life in the firesh air. Doubtless many will exehum 
 against this. The entranced Av^uihu will repudiate with soon 
 the idea that when ilM^e/ma reposed on his aim in a pdka aid 
 whispered that she lofed him everlastingly, it was only poisoned air 
 rendered sonorous by the aotion of a bryn tongue, te(^, palate tnd 
 tips. "WhatfoUyJ" the old ibgieswiU say, <«to insinuate that 
 breath it hurtfiil—just as if nsture did not know when she made 
 man a social animal, whether breathing each other's breaths, would

 Bat notwithstanding the ignoranoe and unbelief of a great pof» 
 tion of the world, acieutifio mm are sltU busily eoRsged in devisinif ' 
 ways and means to protiot man by means of physical and mechanient 
 ▼enlilation, ftom being poisoned by his fbllow man. We have noilf 
 all sorts of ingenious oontriTsnoes under the second system, — flu»- 
 ners, f<Mrtiog pumps, suoking pumps, icrews and other contriranoas, 
 too numerous to mention. In 1668, H. Sehmita published iht 
 soheme of a great fanner, wliioh, dtsoending through the oeiling, 
 moTod to and fro, pendulum wise, within a mighty alit. The moTO- 
 ment of the fanner was establi»hed by means of elockwdrir, more 
 simple than compaet ; ift oeeupied acom]^te ohamberoTer head, 
 md WM set in noby motion by a heavy weight. The weight raa 
 ■lowly down, pdKng its rope till it reaohed the parlour floor. Am 
 for the screws they are admirable on aocount of the stattliog reaulte 
 iometlmes prodiieed. Not many years ago a oouple of floe uetgwi^ 
 were adapted to a public building, one to serew the dr in and the 
 other to eerew it out,— but honor of horrors, both screws blew down 
 with a gust of eontempi upon the airy projector. Of the faonen 
 it b not worth while speaking ; they answer admirably for oooling 
 the air in Indb, where a servant can be kept to muve one in each 
 rricmf and Mr. 3abbt'ii monater fiiniksrs, moved by steam, cool 
 the air for the British House of Commons at an czpcnae of over half 
 a miil^ dtllats. But as for ventibiion— -that b circnlaiiug ftesh

 Iha appaaranoe of being the rule. But the reaaon ia, not that a

 no fire plaoe whatever and no open flttea. Here they ait tbemaelvea

 yoQ bdlieve to be the canse of wiod ? " The learned man replied, 
 '* Pea-flonp, pea-soap t " So I shall avoiili^ much as possible, soi- 
 eniifio or anoommon terms, and oootent myself with desoribing ta 
 joo in a plain way, some of the commonest propnties of air. -, 
 
 Air is composed of two simple elements, and one oompoM 
 ment in feiy small proportions. About 80 parts in an 100 
 air,' is composed of a kind of air or gas called nitrogen, a aiaii 
 ment and apparently of no nse except to dilate the 01 
 name of the other simple element, a gas or air composing al 
 parts in an 100 of the atniosphere, The compound element fii^iili : 
 a gas called carbonic acid, and forms about one part in 2000 Upmt. 
 air. It is compounded of oxygen and carbon, a simple element oir 
 substance which composes the greater part of coal and pfos toit 
 its chief characteristics. .j 
 
 The air cells of the Inngs are filled upon the principle that gravi- 
 tation causes air to rush into any cavity. These are situated 00 
 either side of the chest, and communicate with the air through the 
 windpipe and nose, or month. Three evident effects are produced . , 
 upon tlM blood in the lungs by the action of air. Its color is change 
 ed from a purple to a bright red, its temperiiture is raised, and it is 
 diminished in qoantity. Doubtless other effects are produced, but 
 about tiiese there is no dispute. The d^ree of effect produced, de- ' 
 pends u*pon the quantity and quality of air to the action of which 
 the blood has been subjected in the lungs. 
 
 ■ Hie composition of the ur has been already stated ; but after it 
 
 liSsves the lungs it is very different ; instead of 20 parts in an 100 it 
 contains but 16 of oxygen, and contains nearly 4 parts of eaibonio 
 acid. It is very full of moisture as may be seen by breathing upon 
 
 . glan. Its proportion <tf nitrogen has not changed in an appreoi- 
 aUe degree. If a person apply his month to the mouth of a b«ll-

 .Then, as the air coming from the Inngs is not snUablatoJbo 
 receiyed again, and as a large quantity is used in a very Httle time, it 
 follows that all zooms should be perfectly Tentilated. by hayibj^ com- 
 mumcation with the Grand reservoir — the stmosphere vnrrpandMi^ 
 the earth. This should evidendy be more carefully attended .>to 
 du^ng the nights than during the day, as then the opening and 
 shutting of doors^ and the fires in oold weather, will tend to puri^ 
 and change the air in a room . * E zperiment snd accident have proved 
 that carbonic acid breathed out from the lungs is so very poisonous 
 that 10 per coat, will destroy the life of animals, and many hnmau 
 beings have lost their lives by going into welb, tombs and other 
 places where it existed. The burning of most articled produces a 
 great deal of it, coal a vast quantity when btirning, and a pan of 
 coals pUced in a chamber has produced eo much as to destroy life.
