I care for this year and next year." "And a great deal of good thought has been put into it already." "But not the best. The whole subject needs ventilating, shaking up." "You would attack the fundamentals, then?" "Why not? I'm a radical. I've always called myself such. I go to the root, without fear, without favour."
Two of them were killed by choke-damp a little while ago, four of them are now ill from the same cause, while all of them are earning less than they should because the best and most easily accessible headings are closed." "Is there any very serious difficulty involved in the problem of ventilating the mine?" "None whatever at least no engineering difficulty." "Just what do you mean?"
For more isolated houses the cooling and ventilating apparatus of the future may be a modification of the "shower-blast" which has been successfully adapted to metallurgical purposes.
Strong fans draw air from various extinct craters, force it through ventilating ducts into every room and recess of the city, and exhaust it into the shaft of a quiescent volcano, in whose gaseous outflow any trace of our activities is, of course, imperceptible. For obvious reasons no rockets or combustion motors are used in the city proper."
It is found necessary, however, to recognise some means of ventilating points on which differences of opinion may exist, and the convention adopted is that whenever a man finds occasion to speak strongly he should express himself by dwelling as forcibly as he can on the views most opposed to his own; even this, however, is tolerated rather than approved, for it is counted the perfection of scholarship and good breeding not to express, and much more not even to have a definite opinion upon any subject whatsoever.
And the same might be said of the danger from bad air; because, the better the nurse is that is, the more thoroughly and scientifically she understands her profession the more pains will be taken in regard to ventilating, both the rooms of the sick and of those who are healthy.
There was nothing to show in that yard, black with soddened cinders and ash muck, where the new red-brick engine-houses stood, that somewhere half a mile beneath our feet were thirty men, their only exit to the outer world barred by a subterranean fire. Nothing showed of the fire but a whitish smoke from a ventilating shaft; and a stranger would not know what that signified. But the women did.
Long pipes or coils inserted in the course taken by the heated air in ascending a chimney become warm, and it is possible, by taking such a pipe from one part of the room up the passage and back again, to cause, by means of a small rotating fan or other ventilating apparatus, the whole of the air in the chamber to circulate up the chimney and back again every few minutes, gathering warmth as it goes.
See here now, I have invented certain ventilating pipes, they are to traverse the vessel thus" laying some toilette pins along "the current of air to enter here and be discharged there. What do you think of that? But now about the main things fast sailing driving little to leeward, and drawing little water. Look now at this keel. I whittled it only night before last, just before going to bed.
That February wind went in at the top of my stiff hat and whizzed out through the legs of my thin Sunday pants till I felt for all the world like the ventilating pipe on an ice-chest. I could see why Phil was wearing the bed-clothes; what I was suffering for just then was a feather mattress on each side of me. Well, me and Jonadab was "it" for quite a spell.
