throw out water. How can this be 

 corrected t 



The small house works well. The 

 larger house, with a riser forty-six feet 

 long, has an elevation of eight inches 

 and then drops twenty-five inches to the 

 first tee; then six inches to the second 

 tee and six inches to the ell. The three 

 114 -inch returns are gathered in one 

 1%-inch pipe fourteen feet from the 

 boiler and drop two inches lower to the 

 bottom of the boiler. The two lower 

 returns have little circulation and are 

 only warm. How should they be ar- 

 ranged! 



The houses are located in Texas and 

 are protected from the north by dwell- 

 ings. I used 3,000 pounds of coal last 

 winter. I grow general greenhouse 

 plants. E. F. 



The pipe in the large house is smaller 

 than would generally be used on runs of 

 this length. If you had a 2-inch flow 

 and 1%-inch returns, I believe the serv- 

 ice would be more satisfactory. Then, 

 too, a little more radiation in the large 

 house would probably prove an ad- 

 vantage. I believe that with the ex- 

 pansion tanks arranged as you have them, 

 it will be best to take out the vent 

 pipes and plug the openings, except for 

 an ordinary air valve, which can be 

 opened two or three times daily to see 

 that there is no air in the system. The 

 expansion tanks should then force a cir- 

 culation. L. C. C.

 in this city but for several months past 

 in Boston, was in town last week calling

Among the recent foreign importa- 

 tions through the Providence custom 

 house were the following: From Rotter-

 Antwerp, five packages of plants.

Dear Sibs:— If the Morehead Return Trap cost ten times what you ask for It, It would 

 be cheap when time, labor and cost of repairs are consid- 

 ered, in compariaon with the steam pump I had installed 

 before getting your Trap. I cannot praise it too highly and 

 I recommend It to everyone who talks steam. Yours, 



F. W. MEYER.
