lower price. Some of this off-grade coal 

 moves at $1.20 and prices range from 

 there up to circular. Lump and egg are 

 a trifle easy because of the weather,

HOUSES ON DIFFERENT LEVELS. 



I am enclosing a rough sketch, which 

 will enable you, I hope, to give me 

 some advice on the piping of my two 

 houses for hot water. The houses, as 

 you see, are of the same size, 12x36, 

 eight feet high to the ridge and four 

 and one-half feet high to the eaves. 

 They are connected and stand end to 

 end, but one of them is on the surface 

 of the ground, while the other is three 

 feet below the ground level. The floor 

 of the boiler pit, which is at the outer 

 end of the lower greenhouse, is only 

 two feet below the floor of that house 

 and cannot be sunk any deeper. The 

 houses have glass ends and sides, down 

 to ten inches above the benches. The 

 side door and the partition between 

 the houses are glass. 



I wish to heat the lower house to a 

 temperature of 55 to 60 degrees, and 

 the upper house to a temperature of 45 

 to 55 degrees. I should like to use 

 only 2-inch pipe if possible, as I have 

 several thousand feet of that size on 

 hand. I shall purchase a gas-burning 

 boiler. There is pressure in the water 

 mains, but I prefer to use an expansion 

 tank if possible. The outside tempera- 

 ture seldom drops below zero in this 

 climate. E. E. E.— Okla. 



The two facts, that the houses are on 

 different levels and that there is a 

 door in the side wall of one house, com- 

 plicate matters somewhat. 



Run three 2-inch flow pipes from the 

 boiler to the farther end of the upper 

 house. Place one near each plate and 

 the other about eighteen inches below 

 the ridge, giving them a slight rise. 

 At the farther end of the house con- 

 nect each flow pipe with two 2-inch re- 

 turns, to be carried under the benches. 

 In case there are only two benches, 

 place the returns from the middle flow 

 pipe on the walls, carrying one return 

 on each wall back to the boiler. The 

 flow on the east side can be carried 

 over the door, while the returns can be 

 dropped so low that they will be below 

 the door. 



The fact that one of the houses is 

 lower than the top of the boiler makes 

 a difference as to the location of the 

 expansion tank. It should be attached 

 to the highest part of the flow pipe and 

 all of the ether flow pipes should be 

 connected with it.
