BETTER INCREASE THE PIPING. 



I have a Bmall house, 14x36, heated by 

 hot water, but have not piping enough to 

 produce the temperature required in cold 

 weather. A local plumber suggests chang- 

 ing my hot water boiler to a steam boiler, 

 to remedy the defect. Is it practical to 

 do this, or would it be better to add more 

 piping to my heating system as it is? 



My house has sixteen inches of glass 

 in the sides. I have thought of making 

 the sides double glass, with a 1-inch air 

 space between, thinking by doing so to 

 keep out cold. Is that advisable and has 

 the plan any defect? Will double glass 

 burn foliage? W. F. T. 



For a house as small as the one de- 

 scribed, it will be much easier to put in 

 extra radiation to give the required heat, 

 rather than to change to a steam boiler. 



The use of double glass in the side 

 walls would, of course, result in the sav- 

 ing of some heat, but, on the other hand, 

 soot and dirt soon collect on the inside 

 of the glass and, as a result, nearly as 

 much sun heat is lost as is saved by the 

 use of double glass. 



CONVEYING HEAT TO RESIDENCE 



Please give me your advice in regard 

 to heating my residence with hot water 

 radiation from my greenhouse boiler, 

 which is a new Burnham and large 

 enough. I have been considering two 

 plans, one with the feed pipe under- 

 ground and the other with the feed pipe 

 overhead, passing through the open air 

 for sixty-five feet. I should prefer the 

 underground idea if it will work. If you 

 are positive that the underground method 

 will not work, then please suggest the 

 best way that is possible. E. A. M. 



It would be possible to carry the flow 

 pipe underground, provided the radiators 

 in the dwelling are not less than six feet 

 above the top of the boiler. The main 

 should be carried just beneath the sur- 

 face, covering it with asbestos packing 

 and then enclosing it in a large sewer 

 pipe. The amount of radiation required 

 in the dwelling is not stated, but a flow 

 and a return larger than 1%-inch will 

 surely be required. Even a 2-inch flow 

 would not handle much more than 100 

 square feet of radiation, aside from that 

 in the main and flow pipe. By using a 

 2 14 -inch flow pipe, it would be possible 

 to supply 200 to 250 square feet of 

 radiation. 



THE CHEAPEST FUEL. 



Please inform me which of the follow- 

 ing fuels, at the prices quoted, would be 

 most economical to use: Hard coal, an- 

 thracite, at $6.75 per ton; smokeless coal, 

 Pocahontas or Missouri River, at $4.25 

 per ton; soft coal, Pittsburg, at $3.75 

 per ton; splint coal, white ash, at $4 

 per ton; gas coke, crushed, at $6 per 

 tou. W. E. F. W. 



A definite answer to this question can- 

 not be given, as not only is there a great 

 difference in the coal from different 

 mines, but it varies in different parts of 

 the same mine. Moreover, a coal which 

 gives good results in one boiler might be 

 found far from economical in another. 



In a general way it can be said that 

 Pocahontas coal contains about ten per
