![together, as possible, as otherwise an unnecessary quantity of main tubing will be required. In other respects, no inconvenience can arise from irregularity in distance ; as the fresh air supply-tube for each tent can be lengthened at will. The pitching of the tent being completed, the diffusing apparatus should next be adjusted by suspending the diffusion-reservoir to the ridge-pole, and securing it to the standard poles of the tent and loops on the inner fly and walls prepared for the purpose. The diffusion-pipes must be laced to the sides of the tent, near the eaves, and within about eighteen inches of the ground (see d d, and E E, Figs. 14 and 15); and lastl}^, the fresh air supply-tube, being passed through the opening made for it between the wmll and fly in the end of the tent, will be joined to the main by a joint at 15, Fig. 13. The fresh air will escape from the diffusion-pipes, through eyelet-holes, a little below the eaves of the tent, and at the lower ends of the tubes. (See a a, and b b, Figs. 14 and 15). A few words regarding the management of the connecting-joint, which, as far as I know, is quite new, may be useful. The ring a (Fig. 16) is a very little longer than the ring h ; but by compressing it a very little it takes an oval shape, and readily passes through the latter; and, the pressure being withdrawn, it im- mediately assumes its circular form, and catches behind the ring h. Traction being made on b, the tube takes the connected form d. A few pieces of tube, with connecting-joint ends, should always be kept at hand. With a pair of spare stilts and a short ])iece of tube, with joint-ends, no real difiiculty can](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b24764802_0070.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
