On liussian Stoves. 331 



door (a) — the dotted line c d is the line of the horizontal 

 section of this stove delineated in the figure E — and the 

 dotted line / g — is the line of the horizontal section deli- 

 neated in the figure F. The figure G is a vertical section 

 of this stove, and the dotted lines' a b on the figures I'l & F 

 show the line of this vortical section which cuts the front 

 flues in the center. The letters w p r t in figure E, is 

 in this stove the arched fire chamber, out of which tlie flame 

 enters into the flue (u) — rises therein falls into No. 1, rises 

 into No. 2, falls into No. 3, rises into No. 4, falls into No. 

 by rises into No. 6, falls into No. /, and passes from thence 

 into the chimney at Z. It must be remarked that the 

 figures, 9 and 10 in figure F only denote empty spaces. 



Great care must be taken in heating these stoves ; in 

 Russia, birch wood is generally used for this purpose, but 

 the dan)per must not be closed, until the ignited wood has 

 become 'Completely charcoal. If tlM?re be a piece of wood 

 in flames when the damper is closed, suffocation may be the 

 consecjuence. The exterior of these stoves is made in 

 Russia of white glazed tiles. It is however, probable, that 

 soap stone may be used with great advantage in the con- 

 struction of these stoves throughout, but especially for the 

 exterior, and if so, it would supj)ly the want of tiles. 



There is a scale of English feet upon the drawings of 

 these stoves by which the dimensions of each of them, or 

 of any part of either of them, may be readily ascertained.
