kept at uniform temperature of sixty
eight and Seventy-twO degrees: the halls
and chambers at sixty to siXty-five de-
greeS. Delicate plants were in perfect
bloom in the conservatory twenty-five
feet away frem the heater, and through
a narrow doorway. A tomato vine, said
to be grown from slip, was not only
filled with blossoms at the top, but
lower down bore two thoroughly ripe
tomatoes of vigorous, hearty scarlet.
Mr.. Iilden stated that he had not yet
first week in March, used three ~ tons
OF coal this winter. He begun the fire
in the heater the first of October. Sew
eral thermometers hung in the various
rooms. The one on the window casing
at the farther end of the room from the
heater indicated the same temperature
as the one on the wall only five feet
aWay-bOth being seventy-twO degrees.
One in remote corner of the dining
room, twenty-Seven feet from the stove,
through narrow doorway, and not IN
direct line with the heater, Indicated
siXty-eight, while the same degree was
shown in the remote corners OF the
other rooms. The temperature outside
was four degrees below zero, the wind
strong, and the house exposed, but had
storm sash and doors. The size of the
tire-pOt was fourteen inches diameter
and eight inches deep.

Various other houses in which this
system has been in use the past winter
were viSited-unaccOmp by Mr..
Tilden, and MISUNDERSTANDING. the
residences of Dr.. w. III. Leonard, on
Mr.. +. }. Crafts. of Oak Park. The first
is house Of twelve rooms, besides three
large halls, and is heated by furnace;
the second is house of eight rooms and
two large halls, and is warmed by
heater.
The expert made some comparative
tests between the temperature OF resi-
denceS heated by this system and those
heated by others furnaces and stoves.
The conditions of external tempera-
ture, (being five degrees below zero
character of house. etc, were Substan-
TALLY the same. The following were
the average results:
With Tilden System:
Temperature at ceilings n degrees;
at the wall five feet above the floor II
degrees; on the floor at the wall 81 de-
greeS.
With other appliances of heating:
Temperature at ceiling 81 degrees; at
the wall five feet above the floor 70 de-
grees; on the floor at the wall Al de-
greeS.
1t may be helpful to a better apprecia-
ton of the system to have before the
reader a diagram of a house warmed
and ventilated by this system. The re-
suits of the system in the residence of
MIR. Geo. Odlum of St. Anthony Park,
st. Paul, are, perhaps as fair an average
as any-are perhaps, below the general,
and it is for that reason here selected.
