THE COAL MARKET. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. have given 

 this summary of conditions in the coal 

 market : 



' ' The bituminous coal market is con- 

 siderably better, owing to the fact that 

 a great many manufacturers have 

 started up, and there is already felt a 

 great car scarcity. 



' ' The situation in the anthracite busi- 

 ness has shown marked improvement on 

 the demand for domestic sizes, owing to 

 the fact that the houses are being opened 

 that were closed for the summer, and 

 people are home from their vacations. 

 In addition to this, the cold weather 

 has started many fires going. 



"The steam size market has also im- 

 proved very materially, for the same rea- 

 sons that the bituminous market has, and 

 besides that, apartment houses and office 

 buildings are using more coal now be- 

 cause they have begun to heat and light 

 the buildings." 



IN NORTH CAROLINA. 



How many lines of 2-inch pipe will 

 it take to heat a house 20x90 feet, the 

 side walls being five feet high, with 

 eighteen inches of glass in them? The 

 ridge is eleven feet high. The house is 

 to be heated with water and should have 

 60 degrees when the temperature out- 

 doors is at its lowest. It seldom goes 

 lower than 20 degrees above zero on 

 the coldest night here in North Carolina. 

 Would you run the pipes with a slight in- 

 cline downward from the boiler to the 

 farther end of the house, and a rapid 

 incline to the boiler? Or would you run 

 them in with an upper incline to the 

 farther end of the house? We want to 

 hang the pipes on the walls. How many 

 rows and how many returns should we 

 put on each wall, using 2 inch mains and 

 lV_>-inch returns? J. L. O.

zero you will require two coils, each con- 

 sisting of one 2-inch flow and five 1%- 

 inch returns. One coil can be placed on 

 each side wall. Pitch all flows up from 

 the boiler one inch in every ten feet 

 and place an air vent at the highest 

 point. Pitch all returns down toward 

 the boiler one inch in ten feet. 



RANGE OF FOUR HOUSES. 



I have four small greenhouses, running 

 north and south. No. 1, on the east side 

 of the range, is 14x44, five feet six inches 

 to the ridge. No. 2 and No. 3 are each 

 20x44 and nine feet to the ridge. No, 

 4, the west house, is 26x44 and eleven 

 feet six inches to the ridge. A shed 

 covers the north end, with glass in the 

 south gables. The boiler stands just 

 north of the partition between houses 

 No. 3 and 4. It is the Kroeschell pat- 

 tern and on account of water it cannot 

 go lower than so that the returns are on 

 a level with the floor. I can go but four 

 feet above the boiler. Where should be 

 the highest point in the piping? No. 1 

 house I want to heat with 2-inch pipe, 

 the rest of the houses with 3-inch pipe. 

 Can I take off a 4 inch flow four feet 

 high for the three houses that lie east 

 of the boiler, putting in a 3-inch tee for 

 each house? I also want to take off a 

 3-inch flow for house No. 4, which lies 

 to the west. How many flows and returns 

 must I have in each house? Should the 

 highest points in the piping in the sev- 

 eral houses be all the same level? I 

 would like to have these houses piped

To maintain 60 degrees at ze: 

 house No. 1 will require nine lines 

 2-inch pipe. These can be arranged 

 two coils, as follows: One coil to ha 

 one 2-inch flow and four 2-inch returr 

 the second coil to have one 2-inch flow a: 

 three 2-inch returns. The first coil shou' 

 be placed along the east side of tl 

 house. Houses No. 2 and No. 3 each r 

 quire eight lines of 3-inch pipe, of wb'' 

 two lines can be used for flows and tb 

 remaining six as returns. House No. ■* 

 will need ten lines of 3-inch pipe lO"" 

 60 degrees at zero. Three of the ten 

 lines can be used as flows and the bal- 

 ance as returns. This arrangement wouM 

 give you three coils in all. A coil con-
