GOOD VENTILATION.

One of the greatest problems confronting the shipbuilder since the great ships of the twentieth century, displaced the smaller types has been that of ventilation. Since great ships spanned the oceans, passengers have rushed for the deck cabins, and, naturally many have Fad to take cabins below decks. That fact means that thousands of passengers Gave nad to undergo the discomfort of bad air, especially in port when all port holes muet be closed; but now the P. and 0. Company have installed a device that does away with all the impurities of the air below decks. It is the enemy of noisy systems of ventilation, and means new air instead of the stirring up of the old air iv the cabin. This system is arranged in each cabin or public room;

It is far superior to the old one of electric fan installation, and will go a long way to making ship conditions perfect. The air in one of the cabins served with the new ventilation system could hardly be better on deck. The new. method means the taking of pure sea air, and circulating it in the cabin. The staterooms show the trunking fitted with a louvre, which has a number of socket balls arranged with universal motion. 60 that a stream of air can be dispersed in any direction through the room, and, in the case of a four-berth cabiu. each berth has its own independent air distribution under control of the occupant. Fresh air is delivered in any desired quantity, and at the same time is capable of giving the necessary regulated swirling effects to the air in the interior of the room.
