or series Of iron pipes heated In furnace. and
then through g,eater length OF pipe outside,
made OF fre-clay, which IS c!aimel to be about
the best non-conductor that can be had. The
irst trial will be pump OF eght-inch dame
ter and eigh.-inch stroke. and the clay pipes,
now making in that olty. will be 300 feet IN
length and Of four-inch bore. with tber'
mometer at each end, which will indicate 600
degrees. The protector expects to heat the
air in the iron pipes to that temperature, and
force il to the further end with little loss. Ii
the pipes are laid in the streets 1t will be ne
csssary to have them enclosed IN brick sroh.

tended, if the thing works according to the e1-
pectation ofthe protector that but a small por-
ton OF the coal now used will be necessary for |
all heating and coo'ing purposes which will
