will be shown at the S. A. F. & O. H. convention at Minneapolis. The grate that admits air, grinds 

 cinders, gives thorough combustion, burns cinders until they are reduced to the minimum, saves la- 

 bor, coal and the fireman's troubles. Furnished complete and ready to install without the use of tools. 



Adapted to all styles and sizes of furnaces. .- ^

HENRY, ILL., U. S. A. 



This will give one 3-inch pipe and 

 twelve 2-inoh pipes in the east end of 

 the house, where a temperature of 50 

 degrees is desired, and sixteen 2-inch 

 pipes, in addition to the 3-inch flow, in 

 the west end of the house, to furnish a 

 temperature of 60 degrees. 



Arranged in this way, and with the 

 lowest part of the returns above the 

 level of the grate, a good circulation 

 can be secured without using a mercury 

 generator, or if a generator is attached 

 the return l)ipes used as heating coils 

 might be Ji^-ijich. 



SIZE OF SMOKESTACK. 



How high a brick smokestack, and of 

 what diameter, would be required for 

 two tubular boilers, one of them sev- 

 enty-five horse-power and the other 

 thirty horse-power? How many brick 

 would be needed for such a stack? 



J. H. T. 



The higher a chimney, the smaller 

 may be iits area. Thus, while a chim- 

 ney twenty-four inches in diameter in- 

 side would answer if it were sixty feet 

 high, a chimney thirty inches in diame- 

 ter and only forty feet high would give 

 about the same results. To build either 

 chimney in a durable manner would re- 

 quire about 1,000 fire brick and 10,000 

 common brick. Care should be taken to 

 place it on a firm foundation. This 

 should be not less than six feet square 

 and of a depth according to the char- 

 acter of the subsoil.

The Market. 



The market is brighter than it was a 

 week ago, and business people seem 

 more encouraged. Several notable wed- 

 dings have taken place during the week, 

 and the work has been divided up even- 

 ly among our tradespeople. Funerals 

 have called for their part of the busi- 

 ness, and brought an extra heavy de- 

 mand for roses, valley and other choice 

 flowers. A good shipment of Indiana 

 roses came inta the commission house 

 during the week and was quickly dis- 

 posed of. American Beauties are good 

 and prices are firm. Double White Kil- 

 larney roses are also arriving in better 

 condition, and good shipments of Mary- 

 land, Mrs. Taft, Bride and Bridesmaid 

 all point to the decided and favorable 

 change in weather from the extreme 

 heat of a week ago. 



Sweet peas are improving in quality 

 and length of stem, but carnations of 

 good quality are hard to find. As a re- 

 sult of the dry weather, asters are small
