It is kept constantly moist by trickling water, and thus cools the air as it enters the apartment, while the screen also excludes insects.

Somes's plan for ventilating ships, February 28, 1865. The design of the apparatus is to expose a current of air to contact with vessels or pipes filled with water taken from a distance below the surface. The system of pipes is arranged at any convenient submerged point on the ship's sides, and the air is forced in contact therewith by the motion of the vessel, or the action of the waves. The cooled air is conducted by pipes to cool and ventilate the various apartments in the vessel, or the grain or other perishable freight with which
