Page 122 - The air is drawn along the floor towards the grate ; it is then warmed by the heat which pervades all objects near the fire, and part is carried up the chimney with the smoke, whilst the remainder, partly in consequence of the warmth it has acquired from the fire, and partly owing to the impetus created in its movement towards the fire, flows upwards towards the ceiling near the chimney-breast. It passes along the ceiling, and as it cools in its progress towards the opposite wall, descends to the...

Page 234 - There would appear to be but little gain by the use of the Goux lining as regards freedom from nuisance, and though it removes the risk of splashing and does away with much of the unsightliness of the contents, the absorbent, inasmuch as it adds extra weight, which has to be carried to and from the houses, is rather a disadvantage than otherwise from the manurial point of view.
Page 84 - Therefore, however impure the outer air is, that of our houses is less pure ; and it may be accepted as an axiom that by the best ventilating arrangements we can only get air of a certain standard of impurity, and that any ventilating arrangements are only makeshifts to assist in remedying the evils to which we are exposed from the necessity of obtaining an atmosphere in our houses different in temperature from that of the outer air.
Page 54 - ... for several hours a day, instead of being closed. Besides this, the conditions under which the air flows in and out of a room are so varied. The walls and ceiling themselves allow of a considerable passage of air. The ceiling affords a ready instance of porosity. An old ceiling, it will be observed, is blackened where the plaster has nothing over it to check the passage of air, whilst under the joists, where the air has not passed so freely, it is less black. On breaking the plaster, it will...
Page 40 - Ozone is rarely found in the air of large towns, unless in a suburb when the wind is blowing from the country ; and it is only under the rarest and most exceptional conditions that it is found in the air of the largest and best ventilated apartments. It is, in fact, rapidly destroyed by smoke and other impurities which are present in the air of localities where large bodies of men have fixed their habitations. The permanent absence of ozone from the air of a locality may, however, be regarded as...
