above the highest point in flow, with 

 vent pipe running to tank. I have only 

 a 21^ -inch flow-hole in the boiler, 1^- 

 inch return. The flow gets nicely warm 

 until it comes back for about twenty 

 feet in the returns, about two-thirds of 

 the way, after long firing, then cools off. 



L. G. B. 



If I understand your statement cor- 

 rectly, you say the riser is vented to 

 connect with the expansion tank, which 

 is only two feet higher than the highest 

 point in the system. Disconnect the 

 expansion tank from the highest point 

 in the flow, place a small air-cock at 

 this point, which test several times a 

 day to see that there is no air in the 

 system, then elevate the expansion tank 

 eight or ten or even fifteen feet above 

 the highest point in the system, even if 

 you put it out doors on a platform. 

 Run a pipe from the bottom of the ex- 

 pansion tank to the main return near 

 the boiler. A 94 -inch pipe will be large 

 enough. Put a water gauge on the ex- 

 pansion tank and keep at least ten or 

 twelve inches of water in it all the time, 

 except when firing hard, when it will be 

 much deeper. As soon as opportunity 

 will permit have the openings in the 

 boiler enlarged to the full size of the 

 pipes you are using for flow and return. 

 I think the modification of the expan- 

 sion tank will remedy the difficulty to 

 a large extent. L. C. C

CYPRESS. 



The demand for cypress is not abnor- 

 mal, but is nevertheless of fair propor- 

 tions for the season. Stocks at the mills 

 are reported ample, but are not heavy 

 enough to create uneasiness as to the dis- 

 position of the surplus, and manufactur- 

 ers are well satisfied to continue the 

 operation of their mills and pile up the 

 product. Some items, like No. 1 com- 

 mon, are exceedingly scarce and on these 

 an advanced price' of $1 is reported. 

 A few other items are also firmer than 

 list and on the whole there is a strong 

 feeling permeating the cypress trade. 

 Dealers here report moderate stocks on 

 hand and say that they are selling con- 

 siderable sash and dooV stock, tank ma- 

 terial and finish to the woodworking fac- 

 tories, which are large consumers of 

 cypress as it is the best and cheapest of 

 soft woods, only a small part of the 

 output being used for greenhouse build- 

 ing.

Peoria, III. — Citizens who visited the 

 Glen Oak park floral display, November 

 19, had occasion to remember the late 

 O. F. Dubuis, the man who planned the 

 park system of Peoria. He loved chrys- 

 anthemums, and in the office of the park 

 board there hangs a picture of one of 

 the earliest chrysanthemum displays in 

 the conservatory, painted by his master 

 hand.
