A Needed Change

Prof. M. E. Cooley bas been preparing plans which comp'etely change the system of heating and ventilating the old high school building. All radiators will be taken out of the rooms. Heat will be conyeyed in six stacks of flues, one for each corner and iïiiddle room, leadins from the radiating chambers in the basement. There will be three of these, with very large freBh air inlets. In each stack will be four flues. All ventilating flues open at the floor and all heating flues at the ceiling of rooms, - quite reversing the ordinary arrangement. The first flue conveys hot air to the room on the first floor, the second carries away the foul air. The third flue conveys hot air to the second story while the first flue carries away the foul. The fourth flue conveys hot air to the third story, the !' v 1 fluft taking away the foul air. The foul air flues are always between two hot air flues and thus kept warm, creating a suction which draws the foul air from the rooms. The hot air discharges at the ceiling and takes the place of the disappearing foul air. The temperature can be regulated in each room by the use of a wire cord communicating with mixing dampers. Prof. Cooley's plans are quite original. They will be iinmediately submitted to contractors for estimates.
