| The Manufacturer and Builde, has an
interesting illustrated account of visit to
the "Republic," the wonderful craft of the
| White Star line, which does everything by !
steam, from washing decks to blowing the
ocean. There is paper on ''the evils OF
modern house drainage" showing that in |
the present system no provision is made for
the gaseous matters which, rising and fill |
ing the upright conduits, are displaced by
descending water and forced out into the
atmosphere of a room. The remedy
pointed out is to have vent-shatts carried
from the highest points of the soil-pipes
through fire-aue or at the side OF one,
above the roofs, whereby the poisonous
gases could escape into open air.
