For Heating Mills.

A plan of heating mills has been in
troduced by which heated air is de-
livered from large fan into fues in
the walls, registers from each tiue de-
livering the air into different rooms,
this air being heated by the waste
gases from the boiler. The products
of combustion pass from the boilers
through cconomizers for heating the
feed water, next through regenera-
tor for relocating the steam exhausted
from the high-pressure cylinder. and
on its way to the low-pressure cylin-
der, and then passes through air pipes,
where it heats the cold air for heating
the buildings, then passes to the chin
ney. II heated air is not wanted, but
only cool air for ventilation, the gases
from the boiler are turned by a dam
per into the chimney without entering
the heater; and if the gases are not
sufficient to heat the air as desired.
additional heat is supplied by radia-
tors of steam in this heater. The tenn
perature of the air is raised about 90
degrees by its contact with the hot
gases.
