Men I ion 'I lie lt>'vie\\ wlien viiii wiiu-. 



house with one walk, ni- a iMifixpl house 

 with two walks are the most rnn\eiuent 

 ilinicnsions for violet houses. 



In your case, if you use hot water, as 

 I infer you ilo from the lieater n;imod, 

 you will iieeij a ■J-iiieh flow i)i|)<' under 

 the riti,ij<', reluiiiiny just uiider tlie ifutter 

 on the side wttlls by four 1 'o-iin-li jiipes 

 on each side. The (low pipe .shouM liave 

 an upward .slope from the V)oiler to the 

 far end of the house, s.iy of six inches 

 in the length of the Ixuise, and liie re- 

 turns an ef|ual drop. The toji nl' the 

 boiler should be two feet or more below 

 the lowest pipe in the house system. The 

 expiinsion tank should be connected to 

 the main return near the boiler and be 

 elevated so as to be at least six feet 

 above the highest point in the lieating 

 svsteni. L. <'. r. 



BOILER AND PIPING.

 four feet high, ;ind two houses 'JTxlnO, 

 with walls six feet high. .My boiler is

 it large enough.' There are two Jinch

TIME AND HEAT UNITS. 



If ashtv are put on the centei of a 

 burning mass of wood in the firepi)t to 

 make it burn slower and hmger, will wf 

 get the same amount of heat out of those 

 pieces' of wood :is if we allowed thetn to 

 burn up freelv and shut oft' the draft.' 



.1. F. 1). 



eombust inn is complete, 

 or I'uel is coinjijetelv 



Provided that 

 i. e., the wood 



burned, it will make no ditl'erence in tin 

 total amount of heat thrown oft' wiiether 

 the burning ttikes pbice in one hour or 

 four hours. The amount of heat given 

 oft' in any given time will depen<l upon 

 the rate at which the burning takes place, 

 but the total amount will be the stune 

 Nvhether the given quantity of futd is 

 burned (piickly or slowly. UifTerent fuel 

 sidistauces give off' dift'erent qutiiitities 

 of heat fill M unit volume, or weight of 

 the material, but time is not a fiictor. 

 lu fact, there is just as much heat liber 

 ated when ii cord of wood rots as when 

 it burns. In one ctise the jiroce.ss is 

 rapid and the heat is pereeptil)le, while 

 in the (itlier it is so slow that the lieat 

 is imperceptible. I,. C. C.

 box in the bench so as to confine all the 

 heat possible underneath it. arranging the 

 bench so jts to leave about 1-inch space 

 between the back of the ben<di and the
