The proof of this latter form ofair currents is often before us in the form of rising mists or fogs. The first requisite in building foundations is to get them well offthe ground, so as to allow ample ventilation beneath, which willdry out the timbers themselves as well as the soil below. A heightof at least 24 inches from the top of the skids to the surface of theground should be adhered
