Scarcely a day goes by that docs not
witness some new application Of cleo.
lricity to the needs OF mankind. By
common consent the present is called
The "Age of Electricity" and so it may
not be too much to expect that very
shortly this most powerful, but still
least understood of natural forces will
be utilized TO heat II houses as well
as to light them. There has already
been limited application Of electricity
to heating purposes in some trolley
cars, and electric cooking stoves have
been made and used. But all Of this
has not yet passed the experimental
stage.
With the above exceptions in mind,
what may be called the latest of heat.
ing apparatus is that which makes use
OF hot water or a combination of hot
water and hot air. The use of hot
water in one form or another TO raise
the temperature of a room is Ivy no
means new. Many years age every
improved conservatory or greenhouse
was equipped with large open troughs
IN which lot water circulated; later,
the trouchs were supplanted by large
iron pipe, and this system still remairs
as the best tor the purpose. But il
was manifestly impossible to use such
an apparatus for n dwelling, and only
in comparatively recent years has the
hot.water system been perfected by
The substitution OF radiators for
troughs and pipe of large diameter.
Hot water heating tor dwellings has
some prominent advantages that have
done much TO establish it firmly in
favor. 1t is the safest, for one thing,
and it provides the most equable tenn
perature, as it can be carried a long
distance horizontally. 1t is very
easily regulated, and the matter OF at
tendance is reduced to a minimum,
which is no small consideration. There
is no circulation Of dust, which is the
inevitable concomitant of hot-air heat
ing. To get the very best results u
hot water plant should be installed in
a new house, planned with this in
view. Hot.water heating is estimated
to require o%ne-fourth more radiating
surface than steam, and of necessity
there must be more and larger radia-
