THE ENAMELtED MARBLE WORKS.

through the main rooms Of the house, he will
observe vast number OF pillars, with
elaborate capitals OF various STYLES of archi-

to be of Scaghola marble, and they arc GER

HEATING APPARATUS.
The entire building is heated by two of Morris,
Tasker Co IS sef-reguatng furnaces. The boilers
and the furnaces located in the front basement
and are embedded in solid masonry. They are OIL
enormous size, and during the winter months it will
require two and half tons of coal per week to keep
up a regular heat throughout the whole building.
these furnaces so arranged as to warm the build
ing by means of air which has passed over pipes
within hch hot water is circulating; and the pecu
arties consist partly in the novel construction of
the furnace ITSELF and of the sets OF waterppes COM

trolling the draft OF the furnace, regulating the
heat as to insure economy aud dispense with the
necessity of frequently meddling with the fire. The
furnace has the usual crate bars and ash pit below,
but the sides and top consist Of water spaces cast in
segments fitting INTO each other and to be made air
tight by proper cement.
The wafer 1ues around which the air to be heated
ciTculates, are cast in sections, cal ed manfOlds
each section consisting OF q number OF tubes con-
nected at the top and bottom by tubes of larger
diameter. Each of these sections is cast in one
piece, and the number OF joints to De kept close is
thus much diminished. Tue ends OF each conducting
