STORM-PROOF WINDOWS.

Ideas are ever prevalent, but-when' put into practice they frequently fail to materialise. A deviation from this rule, however, is the introduction of ait improved bos frame .window, which can bej adjusted to suit all weathers and a,t tho same- time is. absolute proof against storm water or draughts. Mr G. HM ' Thompson, a local builder, is the inventor of these novel yet artistically | designed box frames, each of whicH contains a window, with fanlight above. To all appearances these windows are similar to tho ordinary hinged casement, with tho exception that the former have n vertical movement wjnett enables them to movo upwards on tho inner side of the fanlight, which can bo opened or closed to regulate ventilation. In inclement weather the window can he closed, which effectively excludes all storm water or draughts and at the : same time ample ventilation is. obtained through tho fanlight.. A number of Thompson's improved.typo of boxframe windows have already been fitted in Christchurch dwellings, and during the recent heavy wOatber excellent reports have been received.
