AVo are sending you a description and sketch of our heating system, so that you may bo able to give us some advice. As we have trouble in draining the sys- tem evenly, we propose to abandon the old 4-incli return and install two 2-inch returns, one for the west liouscs and the other for the east houses. There is a fall of two feet or more from the north to the south end, for the return of the condensation. The boilers sire about on the ground level, but are about three feet below the level of most of the lange. There is a trap on the top of the l)oiler, with a receiver at the bottom. According to the manufacturers' figures, the trap should be of ample capacity. I think our trouble is largely due to the fact that we run the system on low ])ressure—not enough to work the trap. It takes nearly five pounds of steam to work the trap. We have a great deal of mild w'eather, when only a little steam is required and not enough pressure is kept up to work the trap. During such times the pipes fill with condensation, which prevents uniform distribution of the heat. We have two boilers, each fifty-four inches by fourteen feet, and each con- taining thirty-six 4-inch tubes, fourteen feet long. They are called 60-horse- power boilers. They are located direct- ly south of the houses, wi
