The accompanying illustration represents a simple device which may be readily adjusted to position and manipulated to direct the flow of water from the main leader to a supply or to a waste leader Fig. 1 being a face view and Fig. 2 a sectional representation. This invention has been patented by Messrs. John Robert Sand strom of Topeka Kansas. The cut off body is formed with a flange adapted to receive the lower end of the main leader this flange beiitg carried downward formed at the upper end of a switching tube the lower end of this tube also hav ing a flange adapt ed to fit into flanges on the de livery and waste pipes. The switching tube is guided by a central stud or pin riding in bearings in the cut off body. AN IMPROVED AIR COOLING APPARATUS. The accompanying illustration represents an ap paratus applicable to window or door openings for cooling the air supply to promote comfort or contri ing of wire netting fabric are fastened to opposite sides ice baskets are suspended. To the inner side of each is also a fabric-supporting rod above the upper ice basket and the fabrics from all the rods are conducted outward and over deflecting rods each fabric having at its lower edge a metal rod to hold the fabric down and prevent its being flapped about by the wind. The arrangement is such that the cold drip water from the ice baskets will trickle down over and 'through the fabrics into a drip tray held over the window . sill and having a laterally inclined bottom with a faucet at one end for withdrawing the water. The fabrics are designed to spread over the full area of the window opening thus cooling and tempering the air which enters the room. A water spray or sprinkler pipe is also arranged to be operated over each of the fabrics if desired these spray pipes being connected with a common supply pipe communicating with a tank in which ice water is held as shown in the illustration or with any regular source of water supply the flow being regulated according to the ci
