It is Fig. pleasure. The arrows indicate the course of the water through the tanks and pipes. The two pipes, though drawn side by side, are really one above the other; the return pipe being, of course, the lower. Above these pipes is a stone shelf. Tank b 1 is ,made of oak ; the other, b 2, of elm. I The wood of each is two inches and a half in thickness; and they stand on I oak blocks, three inches thick, to raise them from the floor. This tends to ; prevent their decay, and promotes a freer circulation of'hot air. The bot- i torn boards are placed the lengthway.
