The Europa will have a passenger carrying capacity of 4250, and the crew will j number about 800. including cooks, stewards, etc. She will have two masts and, three funnels, and nine decks above the | water line. One of the new features of the vessel will be its system of ventilation: no ventilators will be seen above the deck as in ordinary steamship';. Air pumps will be fitted to force air into the various departments at a proper temperature, and this will solve the question of ensuring a constant supply of pure air right througfh the ship. In addition to the magnificent rcstauarant which will be fitted on board, there will be a gymnasium, running track, palm court, swimming bath, Turkish bath, and a nursery. Each cabin will be fitted with a telephone that will communicate with a central exchange office fitted up on board, whilst the vessel will carry one of the most powerful wireless intallations that Ims ever been fitted to any ship afloat.
