In addition to cold, the atmosphers of « refrigerated ‘apartment must not only be dry, but pure, and these conditions must be maintained as absolutely as cold” To admit air from the outside, and discharge it as fast as it becomes impure, is practically impossible, even if it did not consume large amount of ‘ice in cooling the air admitted warm and discharged cold. A still greater objection to this ventilating system is found in the fact that the hotter the air in summer the more motstureand germsit contains; consequently, the poorer it is for pro- serving atmosphere. Under theve circumstances ft will bescen that the only successful refrigeration must be on the plan of keeping the air originally confined on the closing of the refrigerated apartment pure and dry. ‘This is accomplished by the Ridgway aystem.

THE WORK NECESSARY FOR NAVIGATION. ‘The House river and harbor committee had the improvement of the Potomacriver and Washington harbor under consideration to-day. Major Hains, the engineer superintending the work, was before the committee by request, and was asked by Mr. Bayne if the object of the work was to improve the flatgor‘for the benefit of navigation merely. ‘The whole appropriation asked for, he answered, was for the improvement of navigation, which was absolutely necessary. In making the estima tho improvement to the flats, which would be ne? ly effected by the improvement of the chan- nel, had not been taken into consideration at all In answer to further questions he sald the object ‘was to secure @ channel for navigation four hun- dred feet wide and twenty feet deep, and to do this they proposed to fll up the flats as’ a wall to con fine the waters. The flats served asa dumping ground for the dredgers, and atthe same time ture ished the foundation for a permanent bank, which would confine the water within such limits as to the channel open, with a suMctent depth Width for tree navigation. He said that the only difference between putting the deposit dredged from the bottom of the river on the flats and allow- ing it to, be washed down the river was that by putting {t on the fla had it where they ‘wanted it to do some wh if it were stlowed to wash they could not tell where it would be deposited, and they might have to dredge it out ‘THE WALL NEEDED TO CONFINE THE RIVER. In fact, they needed the wall to confine the river, and the dump from the dredges served as material for it. ‘The improvement of the flate was not what they had in view. That was which naturally followed from the improvement of the navigation and could not be helped. ‘They wanted to raise these above the high freshet point, plate any oF it of navi- ‘Major Hains replied that there were a number of ita in the work that looked to at onoe, ‘The wall should be channel” elomly comparing the nature tas teavors- very: ‘and relations between that to navigation and.
