 saddle cast upon it, for supplying moisture to the atmosphere ; f,p, q, 

 and the dotted lines Fig. 4, indicate the position of the boiler, furnace, 

 and ash-pit under the building. This plan, if properly carried out, 

 would secure both a useful and durable structure.

With a view to induce improvement in its growth, I would suggest
