HEATING. 



I have a house 18x75 and ten feet high 

 and one 12x7.5 and eight feet high. These 

 are heated by an ciglit horsepower up- 

 right boiler, I have it lying flat, fire 

 underneath, smoke returning through 

 flues, in which position it has done gooil 

 service. On the west side of the house 

 I have three strings of li/j-inch to IV^- 

 inch run in expansion tank, mth a 1-inch 

 return to boiler. In the south side t)iere 

 are two 2-ineh pipes reduced to IMj- 

 inch also in expansion ta.nk, l-ineh pipe 

 to boiler. Could I improve the system if 

 I should give it a large return pipe to 

 the boiler, therefore causing a quicker 

 flow? The small house has only three 

 lines of ly^ to 1%,-inch reduced in tank, 

 with 1-inch pipe to feed boiler. If 1 

 put in 114 -inch pipe from tank to boiler 

 would it not give a better flovv? F. I. 



I regret to eay I do not understand 

 the system which has been employed in 

 piping these houses. I judge, however, 

 from the description that an open circuit 

 has boen employed with an expansion 

 tank or pipe at the far end of the house. 

 If I am correct, the system can be im- 

 proved by modifying it so as to employ 

 the 2-inch pipes as feeders for several 

 11,4 -inch returns placed in coils under 

 the benches or on the side walls as may 

 be desired. A single expansion tank 

 placed ten or twelve feet abovo the high- 

 est point in the heating system and con- 

 nected by a 1-inch pipe to the main re- 

 turn close to the boiler should care for 

 the expansion in the entire plant and at 

 the same time increase the pressure on 

 the system so as to cause the water to 

 attain a higher heat and to circulate 

 more quickly. The flow pipes may be 

 placed under the ridge of the house and 

 the water caused to return through sev- 

 eral IVi-inch pipes, or the flow pipe it- 

 self may be carried under the bench and 

 used to supply several i-eturns, as in the 

 other case. In your latitude, the house 

 18x7.5 feet, to maintain a temperature 

 of 50° at night in severe weather, should 

 be provided with a 2-inch flow, return- 

 ing to the boiler through ten runs of 

 1^4 -inch pipe, or what would be better 

 still, two 2-inch risers "^ach supplying 

 four lines of l^i-inch pipe. The smaller 

 house, 12x75 feet should have a 2-inch 

 feed pipe returning its water through 

 seven 1 14-inch returns tn maintain the 

 same temperature during cold weather.

TABLE DECORATIONS. 



A London florist not long ago made a 

 fine effect by decorating a dinner table 

 entirely with La France roses, the din- 

 ner service being pink Sevres, matching 

 the flowers perfectly. Old china- lends 

 itself to this purpose readily, as was 

 proved at the dinner party given by 

 Baron and Baroness Alphone de Eoths- 

 child recently in their fine mansion, Eue 

 Saint Florentin. The flowers were the 

 orchids for which the baron 's congerva- 

 tories at Ferrieres are celebrated, and 

 the golden and mauve tints of the blooms 

 were thrown into harmonious relief by 

 the pieces of green Sevres china placed 

 on the table. 



EscANABA, Mich. — C. Peterson & Sons 

 are building a greenhouse 22x100, the 

 material for which was obtained of the 

 A. Dietsch Co., Chicago.
