In every climate wliich in severity is equal to that of 

 Canada, whatever tendb to promote oeconomy in the article 

 of fuel, and to enable the inhabitant to keep his habitation 

 warm and comfortable at a diminished expenditure of 

 wood or coal, deserves attention. The Russians aiul the 

 people in the north of Germany are liable to the effects of 

 as great a degree of cold as we are in Lower Canada, and 

 thi'V have, for a series of years, endeavoured to obtain the 

 greatest (piantity of heat from the smallest possible expen-

 from the accounts which are given of their effects to 

 answer the purjjoses for which they were intended. Of 

 these stoves I have the honor to submit to the consideration 

 of the society, a model and two drawings with sections 

 horizontal and vertical. 



The model represents sucIj a stove as is used in an 

 ordinary peasant-house In Russia, and is said to be in 

 general use in the hospitals of that country. This stove
