HEATING. 



In writing ;ibout heating one of the 

 most important points is often over- 

 loolved, namely, the position and size 

 of returns for tlie various sizes of 

 flow or feed pipes and coils. I have 

 seen some excellent systems not work- 

 ing satisfactorily and where the trou- 

 ble was due alone to lack of capacity 

 in the returns, or to this cause and In- 

 sufficient fall in the pipes. W. H. R. 



In replies to general inquiries it is 

 not practic.ible to state definitely or 

 in detail the arrangement of mains 

 and connections, so much depends 

 upon the position of the boiler, length 

 of mains, nature of connections and 

 liftings, friction, exposure, and the ul- 

 timate amount of surface to be at- 

 tached to the main, etc.. but under ordi- 

 nary favorable conditions, in connec- 

 tion with a low pressure steam heating 

 system, in which the condensation re- 

 turns to the boilei- by gravity. I find the 

 flow main having an internal diameter 

 in inches equal to one-tenth the square 

 root of all radiating surface to be at- 

 tached, in feet, gives good results, and 

 the return having from one-half to 

 three-fourths the area of the flow, ac- 

 cording to length and friction condi- 

 tions. The pipes should all have a 

 grade of not less than one per cent to 

 give best results.

NEW CANNAS. 

 We have received lilooms of the 

 new cannas Duke of Marlboro, dark 

 red, and Rosemawr, pink, from the 

 Conard & Jones Co.. West Grove, Pa. 

 Both are very striking in color and the 

 heads of bloom were large and indivi- 

 dual flowers of fine form. They are 

 certainly promising varieties.
