the radiators with the boiler, thus forcing 

 the water to return through the radiators. 

 The connections with the radiators and 

 the return pipes should be of the same 

 size as those which take the water to the 

 radiators. Although the desired temper- 

 ature is not given, it is probable that for 

 an average of 60 degrees it will not be 

 necessary to have more than 1,000 square 

 feet of radiation in the house, or perhaps 

 not more than 700 feet in the radiators 

 in addition to what is provided by the 

 flow and return pipes. 



CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



I have a return tubular boiler, twelve 

 feet long and three feet four inches high. 

 It contains thirty-eight 3-inch tubes. I 

 have eight houses, with the following 

 piping: Seventy-five feot of 5-inch 

 pipe, 600 feet of 2-inch, 2,600 feet of 

 114-inch and 2,500 feet of 1-inch. I 

 should like to add another house, with 

 2,000 feet of 1^/4 -inch pipe. 



Would my present boiler carry that 

 amount of extra piping? My chimney is 

 thirty-four feet high and twenty-two 

 inches in diameter,, inside measurement. 

 I intend to add Icn feet to its height. 

 There is a fine draft and I have no trou- 

 ble in carrying fifteen pounds of steam. 

 I am located in Pennsvlvania. E. W. 



While it would bo like groping in 

 the (lark to give a definite answer to 

 this question without knowing something 

 about the size of the houses and the tem- 

 perature desired, it is probable that if 

 there is no trouble in heating tlie i)resent 

 houses with the amount of piping men- 

 tioned, the boiler will have sufficient ca- 

 pacity to supply an additional 2,000 feet 

 of 1^/4 -inch pipe. This is based on tiie 

 assumption that the boiler has a rating 

 of approximately forty horse-power and 

 that it will supply about 4,000 square 

 feet of radiation, so that there would be 

 quite a satisfactory margin of perform- 

 ance above what will be required for 

 the amount of radiation proposed. 



A TRACTION ENGINE BOILER. 



I am building a greenhouse, 2(1x100 

 feet and nine feet to the ridge, with 

 walls of solid cement, three feet high. 

 The west gable end is glass. The boiler 

 house is at the northeast corner. Can I 

 use a sixteen horse-power boiler, formerly

 heat the house with hot water? If so, 

 how large an opening will it need for the 

 How pipe and how many openings for the 

 return pipes? How many flow pipes and 

 how many returns will be needed in the 

 liouse? I should like to use 2-inch pipe. 

 I want a temperature of 60 degrees. 

 The outside temperature in this part of 

 Kansas is sometimes 15 degrees below-
