There had been thunder in the air all the afternoon, and everyone said afterward that something ought to have been done to ventilate the hall.... At the dance that evening where she had gone reluctantly, and only because she feared to stay away, she had sprung back into instant reassurance.
These great works are merely water-ways tunnelled through the solid earth, not at any great distance from the surface: along their courses the streams are conducted for great distances. There are openings at intervals which ventilate the tunnels: these are kept clean and easily examined by means of the same.
To ventilate a room successfully the problem of preventing drafts must be considered along with that of admitting the fresh air. The method of ventilation must also be adapted to the construction of the building, the plan of heating, and the condition of the weather.
But this is not more than one-fifth enough to keep the air fresh when the rooms are even partially occupied, still less when they are crowded full of people. It would be difficult to ventilate a room for even four or five persons without producing, in parts of it, a noticeable draft of air.
Yet perhaps in no one single thing is so little common sense shewn, in all ranks, as in nursing. The extraordinary confusion between cold and ventilation, in the minds of even well educated people, illustrates this. To make a room cold is by no means necessarily to ventilate it. Nor is it at all necessary, in order to ventilate a room, to chill it.
Every opening in the deck was fastened down and covered deeply over with moss, with the exception of one hatch, which was their only entrance, and this was kept constantly closed except when it was desirable to ventilate. Curtains were hung up in front of it to prevent draughts.
This he would soak with paraffine, and assist with firewood and paper, and a brisk fire in the coal cellar underneath. He would smash a hole or so in the stairs to ventilate the blaze, and have a good pile of boxes and paper, and a convenient chair or so in the shop above.
It knows how to do it as well as bees know how to ventilate the hive, or how to seal up or entomb the grub of an invading moth. Indeed, how much the act of the body, in encysting a bullet in its tissues, is like the act of the bees in encasing with wax a worm in the combs!
*Cultivate Full Breathing.*—Many people, while apparently taking in sufficient air to supply their need for oxygen, do not breathe deeply enough to "freely ventilate the lungs." "Shallow breathing," as this is called, is objectionable because it fails to keep up a healthy condition of the entire lung surface.
Counsellor Ventilate and the law: Raptures excited by the panegyric of Blackstone: Dialogues legal and political, with characteristic traits Meantime the appointed interview between me and Counsellor Ventilate took place. This gentleman was characterized by those manners, and opinions, which the profession of the law is so eminently calculated to produce.
