LUNGS OF A BATTLESHIP.
Ventilation Is a Serious Problem In
Building War Vessels.

One OF the most difficult problems In
building battleship Is to secure salts
factory ventilation. She is very COM
plicated creature. made up of so many
steel boxes, large and small, for the
accommodation of officers, men, coal,
ammunition and stores, dotted here
and there with SO many steel ladders,
automatic lifts, steel bulkheads and
water tight doors, varied here and there
by miles of electric wires belonging to
lights, telephones, bells and motors, to
pipes for flooding draining, pumping,
fresh water, fresh air or compressed
air and speaking tubes.
First In Importance comes the venti-
lating of the boiler and engine rooms.
When you begin to think of gangs of
coal black demons working away in
the bowels of the ship at tempera
ture Of 100 degrees; when, too, you
commence to realize that unless the
furnaces receive their required draft
the speed of the battleship drops TO be-
low that of her sisters in the squad
ron, you appreciate the Importance of
the steam driven fans to the furnaces
and boiler rooms. The supply of air
comes down through large water tight
trunks, which are continued right up to
the weather deck, armored gratings
being provided at the protective deck
For ventilating engine rooms large
electric fans are employed So, too.
the coal bunkers have to be ventilated,
owing to the gas which the coal gives
off. This gas when mixed with air
forms an explosive, so In order to pre-
vent the possibility Of injury to men
or ship supply and exhaust pipes are
fitted in such a manner as to cause

Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat

undermine strength and bring chronic

To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
