necessary for the reception of the fire-pan, and for supplying it 

 with fuel, is 6 in. wide by 5 J in. deep: at the top of this opening 

 the fireplace commences tapering ; consequently the water in the 

 boiler expands more immediately over the fire; the smoke pipe 

 takes its regular width (l^in.) in the boiler, about an inch below 

 where the lid unites; the horizontal water pipes {fig. 1. a) are 



each 28 in. long, by 2 in. in diameter ; the end pipes (b) are 

 14^ in. high, by 3 in. in diameter : a feeder (c) is added, in case 

 it should be thought better to have the lid fixed tight on the 

 boiler. In order to promote the circulation of the water, small 

 holes are to be perforated in the top of the lids (d d), which are 

 also intended to be fixed tight. The apparatus may either be 

 placed on the floor of the place to be warmed, or raised by 

 bearers, or suspended by wire or cord , the two latter methods 

 assist the fire to burn more freely. I am, Sir, yours, &c.

 racter, we shall assist the projector in his communications with 

 those who employ him. Thus, then, I should divide fountains
