The gigantic industry that is representedin the Transportation Building, one of thegroup of colossal structures which consti-tutes the home of the National ExportExposition at Philadelphia from Septem-. is avoided by having them all fastenedsolidly in place, and ventilation is obtainedin a novel way. The floor is several inchesabove ground and open underneath. Inthe center is a large opening, covered withfairly heavy wire netting and providedwith a trap door which can be closed whendesired. The stairs are also in the center of thebuilding, over the air space, and, beingopen, the air circulates up through thebuilding and out of two ventilators at thetop. These are toward the end of thetop floor, so the air cannot go directly outthe top over the air shaft. The buildingis covered with pressed steel and presentsa good appearance. It is well worthexamining by those who are to build astore-house or similar building. As the long nights are now upon us andmen have time for reading, we wish to di-rect attention to our book of books. It isa good guide for people looking for bookson railroad and engineeri
