The journal of the Horticultural Society of London . to be filled and afterwards supplied must be provided, andmay be fixed in any convenient corner of the house or stokingpit. This cistern must be placed higher tiian any portion of theapparatus, and attended to as occasion may require, in order thatthe pipes may be constantly kept full and steam prevented fromaccumulating, or air admitted to interfere with the motion of thewater. When two or more houses are to be heated by one boiler,stop-cocks will be required to stop the flow of the water. Theseare often found extremely inefficient, or otherwise very expensive ;and unless the building is very circumscribed, one boiler willbe found as economical, more efficient, and easier controlled thana combination of mechanical appliances. These observations will be readily understood by those towhom a hot water apparatus has hitherto presented a mechanicalproblem not readily solved. Let us hope that they may proveuseful.
