We f;ive below our metliod of ; a house 100x20 by hot water under pressure. Build ash box two feet wide and two feet high; length of grate bars three feet. Make folds of pipe as in sketch and lay over the bars in the form of an arch or dog house; height of areh two feet .above grate, length of folds 10 feet; two sections of six 2-inch pipes each will be recpiircd. Use malleable iron return bends and Ls for the joints in the fire; set the folds and place about one and a half inches of pine shavings over the pipes, then Iniild brick work over the whole. When the fire is started the shavings will burn ont and leave the pipes clear; if any remain un- burned thev must be taken t>ul with a long hook. A flue of twelve inches diameter may be tised, or an upright stack with a close fitting damper to regulate the consump- tion of fuel; it will take four lines of ]iipc to each section, that will be eight lines ol pipe for the house.
