I have no catalogue of the Ideal boiler at hand and do not recall the rating of the No. 10 size. To heat the house to 55 degrees, the boiler should have the capacity to handle 350 square feet of hot water radiation, and an Ideal heater with a grate eighteen to twenty inches in diameter should be ample for the purpose. If the flow pipe runs downhill and the expansion tank is attached at the highest point, no air valves will be required. S

I am building a greenhouse 25x28% and eleven feet high to the ridge. The greater part of one side of the house will be against a brick building, in which the boiler is located. There will be four benches, each 5x21, running across the house. The benches will be two feet from the walls on all sides. I want to grow potted plants, such as geraniums, fuchsias, etc. I shall use hot water for heating. Will you kindly tell n)e how this house should b© piped to get the best results! The location is southeastern Michigan. G. E. D. To act as the flow pipe, a 2i/4-inch main should be carried to the farther side of the house, to a point directly over the ends of the benches, where pipes should be taken off at right angles and run to the ends of the house. From these pipes "risers" should be dropped to supply coils under each of the four benches and on each of the walls. There should be three 2-inch pipes in each of the under-bench coils and two in each of the wall coils. Connect the pipes in each coil at the lower end, and join them with a common return of the same size as the main flow. pipe. Unless the main flow and return can be given a fairly direct connection with the boiler, it would be well to have them of 3-inch pipe. FORECASTS BY COAL MEN. This week's reports of the coal trade still consist mostly of cheerful predic- tions, as they have done f
