This is the only way that heat can be economi-call} applied, without mechanical force, for the ptir-pose of ventilating in pavilions, because the unitsof heat that would be otherwise wasted, pass upthe smoke flues and induce an upward draught inthe adjacent ventilating flues. The cost of providing heat at the foot of vent-latino- flues arranged around the sides of the wallsfor the purpose of inducing an upward currentwould be more expensive than the cost of runninga fan to produce b}^ suction a current in a largeventilating shaft into which all the smaller ventila-ting ducts from the various pavilions could connect. Probably no means of ventilating has been con-demned so extensiveh% and with such unanimity ofopinion
