manner of a chimney which by the mere difference
between the density of the air within the room at the below
bottom and at the top of the chimney above, some may serve
to keep up even in the most perfect calm some sort of
circulation. Such So great would be the draught that
if a fire were to break out any where especially
towards the centre in a wooden building of this form
it would be next to impossible the wind air rushing in
all round to supply the deficiency made by the
would set the whole almost instantly in
a blaze: hence one main reason for choosing proposing iron
brick or & stone as much as may be to combustible
materials.
