if solid beds are used. This would 

 make, including all connections, little 

 if any more than 700 square feet of 

 radiation, thus leaving a good margin 

 of eflBciency in the boiler. 



It is of less importance to have the 

 boiler several feet below the level of 

 the returns with hot water than with 

 steam. Yet, if the top of the boiler 

 is at least as low as the returns, there 

 will be less trouble about securing a 

 good circulation, and if it can be even 

 lower, all the better.

EXPANSION TANK OVERFLOWS. 



Enclosed you will find a sketch of 

 my greenhouses. Can you tell me why 

 the expansion tank boils over, even 

 when the returns are not particularly 

 hot? The expansion tank is connected 

 to the lowest point, and steam forms

at the high point when the tank 

 overflows. The return pipes in the 

 large house, house No. 1, are on the 

 walls and have an 8-inch or 10-inch 

 drop toward the boiler. In this house 

 there are two 2-inch flows, each con- 

 nected to six 2-inch returns, but the 

 two lower returns on both sides do not 

 heat. 



The 2-inch return pipe from the resi- 

 dence is connected to the 4-inch green- 

 house return about four feet from 

 where it enters the boiler. The ex-
