densed in the coils. It is understood 

 that the water in the boiler passes 

 into the pipes in the form of steam, 

 rather than that it is drawn into the 

 pipes in a liquid form. 



The fact that 214-inch pipe is used 

 for the coils necessitates the use of 

 twice as much water to fill the coils 

 with steam as when 114-inch pipe is 

 used. This may account fgr the trou- 

 ble, if the boiler capacity is small, and 

 the remedy would be smaller pipes or 

 a larger boiler. 



If one pipe is used for a common 

 flow and return, it may be too small 

 to permit the drip water to get back 

 to the boiler. The best thing is to 

 make sure that the returns have a 

 slight fall, and that they are directly 

 connected with the boiler. 



A CHANGE OF PLANS. 



I noted your reply to my question on 

 page 96 of The Review of November 

 10, in which you stated that both my Le 

 Bosquet heaters would probably be 

 needed to heat my new housp. But I 

 do not wish to run two boilers to heat 

 this house. Besides, I have just pur- 

 chased four greenhouses in Haverhill, 

 Mass. Two of them are each 14x90, 

 one is 15x70 and the other is 24x70. 

 With them I bought a No. 17 Hitchings 

 boiler, new or nearly so, and also an- 

 other boiler, of which we have not yet 

 ascertained "the condition. We are tak- 

 ing these houses all down, to move 

 them here, so it will be jiecessary to 

 change my plans for heating. 



Now, as to the new house, 25x100, 

 how would you pipe it? I will set the 

 boiler at the north end and use the 

 Hitchings boiler to heat the new house. 

 If I extend this house north 150 feet, 

 do you not think a No. 17 boiler of this 

 make will take care of the entire house, 

 25x250? As this boiler has 4-inch pipes, 

 would it be advisable to run a single 

 flow along the center of the house, over- 

 head, and drop at the south end, bring- 

 ing the returns back in the way you 

 outlined — that is, placing 2-inch returns 

 under the benches, three under the prop- 

 agating bench and ten under the other 

 benches? At .i"^* what point would

 into boiler at the same time. Operates 

 by electricity, and worke equally well
