The company has now about three
miles of underground steam pipe, ex-
tending through portions of fifteen
streets, supplied with a boiler pres
sure OF thirty pounds to the square
inch. They are successfully warm
ing, at an average of seventy degrees,
o large school building containing
1O5, 900 cubic feet of space, the larg-
est hall in the city, and rooms in
the same building, making about
$50, 900 cubic feet of space, and
forty large dwellings, and are run
ming two steam engines, one of them
being over half a mile from the boil
er house. The total space warmed
by one boiler, 5x15 feet, is over
1000, 900 cubic feet.
1t is proved that district of four
square miles, or equal to sixteen dis
tricts of one-half mile square, can
be economically warmed from one
central point. The company fur
nishes the mains, and the consumers
pay all expenses from the curb, the
cost of apparatus depending upon
the style Of radiators, &c. MIR. Hol-
ly has patented radiator, to cost $6,
which heats admirably. 4
...I The. rayolutiQn to follow from the
use of steam heating from central
point can hardly be appreciated.
For instance, steam pipes will be
laid from the mains to hydrants by
the side of the water pipes, to sup
ply steam fire engines, which will then
dispense, with tie cumbrous boiler,
one-half Of the expense, and all
smoke, noise, &c. Firemen will
take steam from underground pipes
as they do water, the steam and
water hose lying side by side,
each having. its own office. Water
thrown into a burning building or
room will soon food the floors, but
the fire may continue to consume
the joints below. Steam, being wa
ter converted into gas, is lighter
than air, and will ascend to the cell
ing, exclude the air, and prevent
combustion. With sixty pounds of
steam in the main, a two-inch steam
hose will deliver 5000 cubic feet per
minute, which will give a depth of
two feet of steam below the ceiling
of room 25x1OO feet in size. The
use of steam in extinguishing fires is
well known in the oil regions, where
it is frequently used in the case OF
burning oil tanks, when water would
be useless. Steam will be used to
clean sidewalks in winter in various
ways. A hot we'll, one foot wide by
six feet long, connected with the
sewer, located near the curbstone,
with covers, SC, will speedily melt
all the snow that can be shoveled
in. To summarize:
Houses can be warmed;
Food can be cooked;
OlOl06s c0u Oc NusuCo buA oAASos
Steam engine; can be run, hre
can be extinguished-all in An econ
omical manner, with steam delivered
from one central point throug bout q
