Tlie north wall is 6 feet, the south wall 4-6, ridge 10 feet. Glass in gables. It is the third house in a range of four, so the ends only are exposed. Glass is butted. Soft coal is to be used. J. Y. L. Soft coal Is not the best of fuel for upright tubular boilers, but with care In stoking the boiler is amply large for the purpose. G. EncaslDgf Pipe In Flue. Ed. American Florist ;— I have two 3-inch pipes leaving boiler with plenty of up grade under bench and have thought of building flue from boiler running about 30 feet in the house to stack in such a way that the two pipes mentioned are encased inside of flue, resting on cross bars with piece of pipe slipped over the bar to allow of expan- sion and contraction. "Would there likely be faulty draft or other difficulty? Subscriber. While not exactly clear as to your motive for encasing the pipes they would certainly make no difference to the draft of the flue. This depends upon the proper construction of the latter and the height of chimney stack. Wherever flues are built in houses they are very apt to create a hot dry atmosphere and must in all cases be very carefully built to pre- vent leakage of gases into the house. G. Hot Water Connection. Ed. American Florist :— I enclose plan herewith of how tlie expansion tank is connected with the hot water
