CIRCLEvILLE, FeD. lbtn, 1900.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, OF Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively. greater heating surface; produces
larger volume of heat with a given amount
of fuel: the condition OF the air in respect
,otemperature, moisture and purity, Is su-
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated. q OF
70 avoid scorching and decomposing the
afr, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply Of pure, fresh air, warmed
to apleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fiues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches In diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
fues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air In a healthful condition. 1t Is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
tlist our Board of Education was induced
To order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
otbor iiIrnaces had been previously used In
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after a careful exahina-
tion ton Of large number OF furnaces and
other modes Of warming school houses and
other public ediflces, not only in Western,
hut also In Eastern cities, MIR. Martins was
elieyed to be decidedly the best. 2
