to set the boiler? Also, what size of 

 pipes should I use for the main flow 

 and main return? Should I use a sepa- 

 rate main flow and main return for the 

 houses ] am building now, or can I have 

 them big enough for the four houses? 

 There is a good fall from the houses to 

 the boiler. G. A. W. 



To maintain a temperature of 60 de- 

 grees in a house that is 21x100 feet, 

 with thirty-two inches of glass in one 

 wall, it will be advisable to use a 

 2-inch flow and ten 114-inch returns; 

 while the house that is 25x125 feet, 

 with glass in both side walls, will re- 

 quire a 2 V.' -inch flow and twelve 1^/4 - 

 inch returns. 



For these two houses it will answer 

 if a twenty horse-power boiler is used, 

 but if two additional houses of the 

 same size are to be heated the boiler 

 should be of thirty-five or forty horse- 

 power. For a gravity system the top 

 of the boiler should, if possible, be 

 three or four feet below the lowest part 

 of the returns and if it cannot be at least 

 two feet below the returns it will be 

 advisable to use a steam trap or pump. 



The best plan will be to put in mains 

 sufficiently large for the additional 

 houses which it is proposed to erect. 

 For the four houses it will answer if a 

 3-inch flow and a 2-ineh return are used. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Business picked up generally in this 

 vicinity during the last week. There 

 were no large functions of any kind, nor 

 large funerals, but just a healthy, sea- 

 sonable improvement. Growers and 

 storekeepers are now ready for the 

 rush and numerous announcements for 

 the coming month indicate a lively 

 opening of the early trade. 



Various Notes. 



Lawrence Hay, of East Providence, 

 is cutting some unusually fine cosmos, 

 which finds ready sale.

 recent visitor in New York.

 He had the decorations for the recep-
