VENTILATION AND UNVENTILATED S T O V E S . T h e number of unventilated stoves in Westminster
workshops ires somewhat decreased, still there were found lO2 instances in which attention had to be called to them. In two or three cases oil was in use to heat the stoves, and caused the air of the rooms in which they were to be distinctly offensive. The Home Office inspectors cooperated with the council's staff in many instances, and had chemical examination of the air made. In one case, in a long narrow underground workshop of 2,637 cubic feet capacity, the ventilation was found to be defective, especially at the back of the room. There were large windows the whole breadth of the room, part of which were kept open, the door was near the windows, and there was a small electric fan in the rear wall. This, however, was badly fixed, and failed to extract the air as it was intended to do, instead of which it threw a draught down on the workers and drew in air from an area which was not kept in as cleanly a condition as it might. In addition there was a flueless gas stove, and a gas ring heater which was connected with a flue. Nine per~oons were employed in the room, which was fairly light, so that .artificial lighting was not usually required. On analysis it was found that the amount of carbonic acid gas was 22"5 parts per r,ooo in the centre of the room and 27"3 parts at the far end. Various improvements were effected, the fan was properly fixed and more openings provided in the window, and the result of further analysis showed the carbonic to be i2"6 and 16 parts respectively. On both occasions the gas stove was not in use. The Home Office standard is not a high one, being 12 parts per io,ooo, so that the above results could not be regarded as satisfactory, and led to the conclusion that regular use was not being made of I/he fan, which proved to be the case, the reasons given being that the tenants in the room above complained of the vibration, and the workers in the basement that there was too great a current of cold air through the room, there being no means of warming the air as it entered. Eventually the use of the workroom was given up.--A~mual
R6bbrt of Dr. A llaJ~, Medical O~cer oJ Health, Wes!mimter).

POISONING EPIDi~MIC IN BERLIN.--2-'A mysterious epidemic of poisoning occurred among the inmates of a municipal shelter in Berlin, and, having continued for about a week, ended on January 2nd, the number of cases being 17I , with 78 deaths. The epidemic was suspected to be due to the consumption of cognac adulterated with methyl alcohol. The cognac supplied by certain public-houses near the shelter was analysed, and when these establishments were closed by the police the epidemic ceased. The wholesale dealer who had supplied the adulterated cognac was discovered, and in his cellars the police found large quantities of methyl alcohol, a portion of which he had sold as genuine ethyl alcohol, l i e was arrested and will be prosecuted for manslaughter.
