PIPE JOINTS. 



We wish to pipe a new range of about 

 15,000 feet of glass, using S^'o-inch 

 old boiler flues. How many pounds' 

 pressure will a joint made in the follow- 

 ing manner stand? 



We put the flues end against end and 

 use a piece of 5-inch wrought iron pipe 

 j._ inches long for a collar. Then we 

 take oakum (without anj' oil of tar on 

 it), thoroughly soaked in the best Port- 

 land cement, and pack from both sides 

 at the same time until within I'-j inches 

 of the outer edge, this space being filled 

 with pure cement. 



This joint is all right for a gravity 

 system, but in our new plant we intend 

 to use hot water pumped under pressure 

 and will have about 40 pounds pressure. 



How about using iron filings and sili- 

 cate? W. C. V. 



In reply to the inquiry of W. C. V., 

 i have used such joints as he describes 

 satisfactorily against pressure of IS to 

 20 pounds, but have had no experience 

 with such joints against heavier pres- 

 sure, but if he makes due provision in 

 constructing the coils, for the strains of 

 longitudinal expansion and contraction 

 of the pipe lines, I believe such care- 

 fully made joints would withstand the 

 pressure of 40 pounds. The cement 

 joints for this purpose would be better 

 than the rust join-ts, as the expansion 

 taking place in tne rust joints in the 

 process of rusting would have a ten- 

 dency to split the wrought iron sleeves.

CARNATIONS REGISTERED. 



Registered by McDonald & Steele, 

 Crawfordsville, Ind. : "Tribe Ben Hur." 

 A white carnation, very large, perfect 

 form, a lustrous alabaster white ; fine 

 strong stem and growth; fragrant; a 

 free bloomer with no surplus grass. 



Albert M. Herr, Sec'y, Lancaster, 

 Pa., for the American Carnation Society. 



CORRECTION. 



The address of Pinchbeck Bros., who 

 are advertising Floriana carnation cut- 

 tings, is South (salem, New York, and 

 not South Salem, Mass., as we had it 

 in their adv. last week. 



We have received from Mr. N. Grie- 

 velding, Merrill, Wis., a bunch of blooms 

 of the Marguerite or Paris daisy 

 (Chrysanthemum frutescens), the flow- 

 ers being of very large size, many fully 

 three inches in diameter. Such blooms 

 must be very useful.
