CROMWELL, CONN, 



^STEAM BOILER FOR HOT WATER. 



Is it practicable to convert a horizontal 

 tubular steam boiler to a hot-water 

 heater? If so, would you advise remov- 

 ing the steam dome? How many flows 

 ind returns will be necessary to heat 

 3,000 feet of glass? The boiler is 

 sighteen horse-power. I use mostly soft 

 coal slack and am using a cast irou 

 heater, but the chimney gets most of the 

 heat, as the draughts are direct, and 

 when the damper is closed it does not 

 i;ive suftieieut heat. H. E. B. 



Horizontal tubular steam boilers make 

 very eflficient hot water heaters when ar- 

 ranged as return tube boilers, i. e., with 

 the setting so arranged that the flame 

 passes the length of the boiler under the 

 shell before entering the flues which dis- 

 charge into the smoke stack directly over 

 the front of the fire box, but are cut off 

 from it by proper mason work. "While 

 I prefer a boiler without a steam dome 

 for a hot water heater, there is no serious 

 objection to the dome, I cannot answer 

 the question in regard to the piping with 

 satisfaction to either myself or to the 

 questioner without further information 

 in regard to the houses to be heated, 

 their length, width, height, size and use 

 to which they are to be put. The size 

 and distribution of heating pipes is en- 

 tirely governed by the above stated con- 

 ditions. If the necessary data is fur- 

 nished, I will take pleasure in giving 

 specifications for piping. L. C. C. 



THE READERS' CORNER. 



The Calla Disease. 



I want to give you my experience with 

 the callai disease, for it is a disease. It 

 was several years ago I first had trouble 

 with it. I had some California bulbs 

 and some of my own. The California 

 bulbs rotted first and then mine went, 

 every one of them. At that time I tried 

 to get information about the disease 

 and its cause, but our most experienced 

 florists could give me no help. Since 

 then I have seen several other places 

 where they had the same disease. Last 

 winter one of my neighbors lost all his 

 callas in the same way. Cannot some 

 one throw some light on the trouble?
