Electrical news and engineering . ordinarily goesto warm up the ceiling, is utilized to good purpose. .All this benefit is obtainable by the expenditure of anamount of energy (in the fan> which is quite insignificant;and it seems reasonable to suppose that an actual savingwould be effected by the adoption of tliis plan on account of the utilization of a considerable amount of heat whichotherwise is of very little practical use. Lacking any definitedata one hesitates to estimate what such saving might amountto, but at least it would probably be much more than tocounter-balance the cost of the small amount of electricenergy required to run the fan. In view of the foregoing itwould be a better policy for all concerned if the electricalpress would advocate the use of electric fans, during theperiod when furnaces are in use, rather than of electricheaters. Even with an electric heater a fan will greatly in-crease the efficiency of distribution of the heat developedand add much to ones personal comfort if one has the pa-. tienc iing fan to raise the temperatuwait until a comparatively small hcaicr .ay,the (r()ii iir l,()i)ij watts capacity, has had time to warm \\\air in tlie average room. The l)enefit of this plan will easily be felt on a conlday in about an hour and though the room may feel chillyduring the warming up period much greater comfort will beexperienced afterwards. The highest desideratum of any system of heating isto make people feel comfortable, not necessarily to reach anyparticular temperature and a fan will greatly assist in doingthis—Try it! Yours truly, A. S. L. Barnes. High Tension Line from Lake Buntzen toBritannia Beach Mr. George Kidd, general manager British ColumbiaElectric Railway Company, announces that his company hasentered into an agreement to supply the Britannia Mining& Smelting Company with to 6,000 of electricenergy. The power company will start work at once on theconstruction of a high tension line from its Lake Buntzeng
