Dust and dustless rooms explained by heated surfaces
A nature study explains why hot air deposits dust on cold walls and how laths, plaster, and heating methods affect dust buildup. Open fires produce less dust than radiators, as radiation heats furniture more, while electric lighting keeps walls cleaner than gas lighting. Aitken notes hot surfaces repel dust, while hot steam or pipes cause vertical dust streaks. Also includes a light anecdote about social dining and a brief note on shell bracelets from East Indian cank shells.
