A notice ivhic/i belongs to Art. 8. of the preceding Part, 

 (Gard, Mag. 306.), indicates a plan, by J. R. 

 Neame, Esq. F.H.S. for preventing the drip 

 in glass-houses. Mr. Neame attaches small thin 

 copper gutters to the bars of his lights in the 

 manner represented in the annexed sketch, 

 (Jig. 88.) They are fastened on with pins the 

 whole length of the bar, and conduct the water 

 which they receive to the top of the plate which 

 supports the bottom of the rafters, from which 

 it falls into a gutter, which runs along the front 

 of the house on the outside. 



Our correspondent, Mr. Saul of Lancaster, 



has sent us some observations on Mr. Meame's 

 plan, for which he proposes to substitute gut- 

 ters formed in the rafter (Jig. 89. a, a.); and in 

 order to co-operate with it in preventing the con- 

 densed water from dropping 90 

 from the glass on the plants, 

 he proposes to adopt diagonal 

 glazing (Jig. 90.): he adds, 

 " when glazing, a little putty 

 may be drawn out of the in- 

 side, as it will form a gutter in the glass." In 

 houses properly constructed and managed, 

 contrivances of this kind can very seldom be 

 wanted. The fewer mouldings and grooves 

 in garden sashes of every kind, the less will 

 they harbour water, dirt, and vermin, the 

 smaller the surface to paint, and the greater the strength in 

 proportion to the thickness.
