deal higher than the contract prices 

 were last spring. The recent jump in 

 the prices of bituminous has been one 

 of the sensations of the season, but 

 there are plenty of well informed men 

 in the coal trade who are certain that 

 the market is not yet anywhere near 

 the tojJ. Which is another reason for 

 filling every possible corner of the 

 sheds right now. 



HAS IVi-mCH PIPE ON HAND. 



We have. two houses, each 20^^x60. 

 They run east and west and have a 

 partition between them. The east ends 

 of the houses are exposed and contain 

 seven feet of glass. The west ends 

 abut on a shed. The north side of the 

 houses is in a bank of earth. The south 

 wall of the south house contains two 

 feet of glass. How many runs of 1%- 

 inch pipe will be required to give a 

 fern temperature in the north house 

 and a temperature for general potted 

 stock in the south house, using hot 

 water t Please state, also, the number 

 and size of the flows. We also have 

 a house 21x24, in which nine feet of 

 glass and two feet of concrete are ex- 

 posed. How many flows and 1%-inch 

 returns will be needed in this house

 grees? This house is sandwiched in be- 

 tween two others, so that only the roof 

 and one end are exposed. We have a 

 lot of 1^-inch pipe and some of the 

 2-inch size. W. S. P.— Ont. 



We do not feel certain regarding the 

 lowest outside temperature, but for a 

 minimum of 20 degrees below zero we 

 would use in the north house three 2%- 

 inch flow pipes and eighteen 1^-inch 

 returns. Place one flow pipe upon each 

 plate and the other three feet below 

 the ridge. Six of the returns should be 

 upon each wall, or under the side 

 benches, and the others should connect 

 with the overhead flow pipe and run 

 to the boiler under the middle bench, or
