In the other house carry a 214-iiich flow on each side wall, with two H-inch re- turns under each flow. Run the flow j)ipes as well as the returns downhill and connect the highest point in cicli llow j'ipe with the expansion tank. HOUSE STANDING ALONE. We have a greenhouse, 14x4U I'cet, which stands alone. What is the best heating arrangement for this house.' The height to the ridge is nine feet, while the greenhouse itself runs east and west. There are twenty inches of glass in the two side walls, with glass in both ends. We wish to maintain GO de- grees in zero weather, and will use hot water heat. How large should the boiler be ;nid how much piite will be required f T. ic M.—I'.n. If liatd coal is to be used, a boiler with a grate twenty inches in diameter .ind rated for 400* square feet of hot water radiation should give good re- sults. It would be preferable to use a 22-in(h grate and a boiler rated for 500 s(iuare feet of radiation, if soft coul is to be used. The best results are secured when tiie top of the boiler is below the lower end of the returns. If this can arranged, you can expect to heat the house de- scribed above by carrying a 2ij-inch tlow pipe on each side wall plate, with eight L'-inch returns, arniiiged in twcp coils of four pipes each on the walls.
