Greenhouse Heating. 



^' I.I ^ 



SxjBSCRiBEBS are inyiled to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard 

 to any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Beview to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. The greenhouse 

 heating equipment advertised in this 

 paper is, we believe, the best for the 

 trade to buy, and each article the best 

 in the special field of its adaptation. 



FLANiriNG A SMALL HOUSE. 



I am planiiin<; to build a small green- 

 house for mixed plants. I have a small 

 hot water, sei'tional boiler, supposed to 

 have a capacity for HOO square feet of 

 radiation. It is forty-seven inches high 

 and the fiie-i)ot is llxi;^. The smoke 

 pipe is seven inches in diameter. The 

 boiler is tapped for 2-inch pipes. I want 

 to build the house as large as the boiler 

 capacity will jjermit. How large should 

 1 build it and what would be the best 

 width? How should it be ]»iped? The 

 location is western Pennsylvania. I 

 have a lot of 'JS-inch window sashes 

 that I should like to use in the sides of 

 the house. F. W. H. 



If the l)oiler is large enough to handle 

 ."^OO square feet of raiiiating surface, it 

 will heat a greenhouse containing from 

 (iOO to 900 square feet of glass. In other 

 words, it would heat a greenhouse ll'x 

 .■)0 feet to 40 degrees, or a house ]2x.S0 

 feet if the temperature has to be kept 

 at (50 to (5H degrees. However, tlie letter 

 states tiiat the boiler has a grate llxl.l 

 inches. This is less than one square 

 fool, and I would not consider that such 

 a heater would handle more than 200 

 feet of radiation at the outside, unless 

 it is magazine-fed or lias frequent at- 

 tention. 



The window sashes can probal)ly be 

 used to good advantage in the side 

 walls. If a house twelve feet in width 

 is built, it can be heated by running

a 2-inch main on each plate and three 

 returns of the same size underneath, on 

 each side. They would provide a tem- 

 perature of 50 degrees, with glass in 

 the side walls. For 60 degrees use one 

 more return on each side of the house. 



THE COAL MABKET. 



In this week's coal market there are 

 two distinct and striking aspects, two 

 features that stand out in marked con- 

 trast. One of these contrasting phases 

 is the continued and even increasing 

 discussion of the probable effect of the 

 European war on the future develop- 

 ment of the trade; the other phase is 

 the evident determination of the coal 

 men to make the best possible use of 

 l>resent opportunities, without permit- 

 ting the war excitement to continue to 

 exert its distracting influence. "Amer- 

 ican business people," it is said, "have 



finally come to their senses and realize 

 that our internal trade can be good, 

 regardless of untoward appearances of 

 our export business. It is the concentra- 

 tion upon the home business and the 

 determination to make it profitable 

 which is giving increased activity in 

 many lines. ' ' 



Partly on account of this sensible 

 state of mind, and partly on account of 

 the natural increase of coal buying at 

 this season, the coal market shows a 

 decided change for the better. "The 

 trade," says a lea<ling coal journal, 

 "shows an improvement in every de- 

 partment and prices are steady to firm. 

 By the middle of the week the point 

 had been reached where the <lemand at 

 Chicago was in excess of current sujiply 

 and some sales agencies sent to the"' 

 eastern mines orders for increased slii|'- 

 ments. The jtrice of smokeless mine- 

 run <lid not advance sharply, Init it is
