Ever Look at a Boiler From This Angle? 



It will interest you to observe and compare difierei t 

 makes of boilers by looking at them from this angle. 



After you have observed some of the slow acting;, 

 look at the " Improved Capitol " and note the thin, 

 quick acting, and self cleaning waterways that give 

 quick action and perfect control. 



These waterways must absorb the heat, and the fact 

 that there is an unusually large proportion of direct or 

 prime heating is proof that you can secure heat when 

 you need it.

trap system. Any of the Review's 

 steam trap advertisers will be pleased 

 to give full particulars regarding their 

 traps for either system. For coils, 114- 

 inch pipe or 2-inch are the popular sizes. 

 Your houses will require the following 

 for 60 degrees at zero: South house, 

 fifteen runs of 1 14 -inch or ten runs of 

 2-inch; middle house, thirteen runs of 

 114 -inch or nine runs of 2-inch; north 

 house, thirteen runs of 1^-inch or nine 

 runs of 2-inch. Start at the boiler with 

 a 5-inch main flow, reducing to 4i^-inch 

 at the middle house and then reducing 

 to 3 1/^ -inch for the south house. Beturn 

 with a 21/^ -inch pipe, increasing to 3- 

 inch from the center house and again 

 increasing to 3 M; inch from the north 

 house. The flows can be carried on the 

 purlins or under the eaves. The returns 

 may be carried on the side walls and 

 gutter posts. 



The Standard 

 Steam Trap 



Is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist, because it is durable and 

 does its work without trouble and 

 annoyance, navlng its cost by the 

 economy in coal bills.

CHECK VALVE NEEDED. 



We have two houses, 30x130 and 

 25x130, running east and west. The 

 ground inside rises about five feet to 

 the west end. The boiler is twenty-five 

 horse-power and is in a pit at the south- 

 east corner. The two mains run on the 

 same level to the north side of the farther 

 house, a distance of about eighty feet, 

 in a trench about fifteen inches under 

 the level of ground. There is about ten 

 feet rise from the boiler to the highest 

 point in the mains, and about five feet 

 to the first heating pipes. Each pipe 

 is connected on the upper side of the 

 main flow and returns back direct to the 

 return. They are 1-inch and 114-inch, 

 They don't circulate well, as the water
