FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Dec. 5, 
stern and anchor lights, are electric. Connected with 
the running lights is an indicator on the bridge which 
automatically shows whether they are in order, and 
shows when any light is out. 
The log has electric connection with the bridge to an 
indicator, so that the rate and distance run can be 
seen by the officer on duty at a glance. She has on the 
bridge an automatic fog controller and recorder, by 
which the whistle can be set to blow automatically at 
any time, and the time and duration of the blasts are 
recorded in the chart room, so that any question arising 
from collision or otherwise, there is definite record in- 
stead of relying on the testimony of more or less ex- 
cited beings. 
The yacht has a refrigerating system consisting of 
a Brown-Cochran carbonic acid gas machine, which 
keeps the main cold storage room, butter, milk and egg 
room, and pantry and galley refrigerators at their 
proper temperatures. Its capacity for ice-making is 
500 pounds per day, in addition to doing all this re- 
frigerating work, and is further of a size which allows 
of the machine being shut down at night for at least 
10 hours. There is also a separate ice box for preserving- 
fish. 
The plumbing conditions vary little in appearance 
and working from that in a modern first class house. 
There is running hot and cold fresh water. The old- 
fashioned pump watercloset has been abandoned, and 
new siphon closets installed. All bath rooms have tiled 
floors and tiled walls, and are fitted with porcelain tubs 
and porcelain lavatories. 
Noma carries six boats; namely, a 10 horse-power 
naphtha launch, non-capsizable, self-righting lifeboat, 
a one-rater sailboat, ship's sailing cutter, ship's dinghy 
and a steward's launch. 
Every room in the ship, including officers' and sea- 
men's quarters, has independent and separate air and 
light. 
The deckhouses, skylights, bulwarks, rails, etc., are 
of teak, framing of deckhouses being of galvanized 
steel. 
The keynote of the arrangement of the owner's quar- 
ters has been comfort and amplitude — rooms, passages, 
stairways, all are large and commodious. Every- 
where the usual cramped feeling of a ship has been 
avoided. The headroom is ample, not only below but 
in the deckhouses. In the general scheme of the ar- 
rangement the living rooms are in the deckhouses on 
the main and shade deck, and consist of owner's office 
and suite, dining room, smoking room, music room 
and chart room. On the cabin sole deck are situated 
the state rooms, bath rooms, etc., with the owner's own 
quarters forward, the owner's and bachelor's quarters 
aft, where, also, is the library. 
The principal rooms were designed by Messrs. Hunt 
& Hunt, architects. Their scheme in general was to 
find effect with simplicity, proper scale, and what 
might be termed "nautical interest in detail." 
The success of their treatment is marked and original, 
and has been admired by all who have seen Noma. 
Below decks, where the rooms are lit by portholes, 
the library and all the state rooms are carried out in 
rubbed white enamel paint in order to have as much 
light and brightness as possible. 
The color scheme of the library is green and white,
