brick setting pays for its cost in the 

 saving of fuel ; when there is no brick 

 setting, much heat is lost by radiation. 

 Gas heating has been very success- 

 fully adopted in the suburbs of towns, 

 and when well done, it is the cleanest 

 and most improved and reliable of all 

 methods. The principle is precisely 

 the same as heating with a furnace, 

 the only difference of detail being the 

 supply of heat by gas flame instead of 

 coke fire. Mr. Lynch White, of Upper 

 Ground Street, Blackfriars, has lately 



£2 3s., and the four-inch pipe is sup- 

 plied at lOd. per foot run. 



Musgrave's slow-combustion stove 

 (made by Messrs. Musgrave Brothers, 

 Belfast) is still in use in our old lean- 

 to, as described in Floral World, 

 1863, p. 118. It has done wonders for a 

 damp, low house, which cannot be 

 heated by any other method. We 

 can recommend this stove in the same 

 terms as we have done before. If a 

 stove of any kind must be used in the 

 house, this is certainly the best. It is 



A— Copper Gas Boiler. 



B — Wrought Iron Jacket or 

 Cover, to prevent the too 

 rapid escape of heated 

 air and the fumes of the 

 gas entering the Green- 

 house. 



C — Ring Gas Burner. 



D — Supply Cistern. This can 

 be placed as shown, or in 

 any convenient position. 



E — Supply Pipe from Cistern 

 to Boiler. 



F— Flow Pipe, for heated 

 water from Boiler. 



G — Return Pipe. 



H — Hot-air Escape Pipe. 



Boiler 10 inches high, 9 inches diameter. 



constructed an apparatus for gas heat- 

 ing, which appears to be the best ever 

 yet made public. The apparatus 

 consists of a boiler, A, capable of heat- 

 ing fifty feet of four-inch pipe ; it is 

 encased in a wrought iron jacket, 

 which serves the purpose of a brick 

 setting ; the iron jacket, with escape 

 pipe H, renders it perfectly safe to 

 use this boiler inside the house, as it 

 is impossible for any of the fumes to 

 affect the plants, etc. The price of 

 this boiler, including jacket, ring 

 burner, cistern, and supply pipe, is 



proper to add to former accounts that 

 last winter it was put into the hands 

 of a smith to be thoroughly cleaned, 

 and it was then furnished with a new 

 chimney of wrought-iron pipe, six feet 

 in length, and it burnt better than 

 ever it did. For the very smallest 

 houses of all there is nothing so good 

 as Joyce's stoves, and the best form 

 of them is that made by Swan Nash 

 of Newgate Street. Mr. Nash sells 

 prepared fuel for these stoves ; it is 

 rather dear, though it is very good ; 

 but common charcoal is much cheaper
