NO MORE COLD FEET.

In the near future there should be no more cold feet, and even those unfortunates who cannot get the fireside will not suffer from the chilled pedal extremities because they have to sit back in the room. By means of an invention for adapting electricity it ia now possible to make carpets, rugs, or even linoleum perfectly warm. The whole floor is ingeniously threaded with electrical wires, the majority of them running in parallel lines, and an ordinary lighting current is passed through them. The effect is naturally to warm the floor covering, and, as the temperature is easily regulated, a greater or lesser intensity of ’heat may be arranged. Carpets, by the way, retain heat for some time, so the use of electrical current need not be continuous.
