HOT AIR HEATING.
Practical Suggestions for This Method
of Warming Houses.
copyrighted 1896.

copyrighted 1850
When n man starts out to build o
house, after having settled the ques-
tion of location, size, price and gener-
al style, the most important matter
that remains to be decided is the
method of heating. The larger pro-
portion of dwellings make use of the
air system, and, all things considered,
there is none that is more satisfactory.
Hot air furnaces offer very convenient
means of communicating warmth to
dwelling of almost any dimensions
its special advantage being that il it
is properly managed IL constantly
brings into the house large body of
fresh air, and so contributes most ma
terially to the ventilation of the build
ing.
This is effected by furnace placed
in the lower portion of the house,
which being duly provided with fues
and registers, heats and distributes
through all parts OF the establish
ment a quantity of fresh dir in pro-
portion to the dimensions and capac-
ity of the mir chamber in which il is
placed. A fundamental point Of this
system is the supply of pure air to
this air chamber, which should be
provided by a duct or mir passage
from that side of the house on which
the air is likely to be the most pure.
But the objections cited against stoves
when made with thin plates of metal
without any lining to protect them
from becoming red hot apply with
equal force to vast majority of hot
air furnaces now in use. Air deliv.
cred from a furnace should never ex-
ceed the temperature indicated by 100
degrees Fahrenheit ; where the heat
reaches $50 degrees to $50 degrees ut
the point Of delivery, the objects are
undoubtedly pernicious.
The principle to be attended to in
construction OF all hot air furnaces is
to generate and communicate the
greatest amount of heat with given
quantity of fuel, without producing
any change in the breathing property
of the air. A common fault is that
the water pan is allowed to become
empty, so that the heated air has that
dry and stuffy quality of which many
people justly complain. But with
water constantly evaporating in the
furnace, with cold dir drawn from out
doors, and with such an arrangement
of pipes that every room will receive
its due proportion of heat, there is no
system more satisfactory for ordinary
houses, nor is any more economical
an important confederation.
Many house-holders urge objection
to the hot air system that at first
glance seem to be we'll founded. They,
themselves, have these furnaces and
they never tire of recounting their
tribulations with them. They say
that there are certain rooms in their
houses that never get q particle of
heat, although they force the furnace
SO that it eats mp coal by the ton and
makes the rest of the house unbear-
able; and often an impression exists
that certain pipes and registers will
always be favored, and that one or

which they call "pervin," sort Of

The she'll of the cocoanut takes q

convenient and durable cup or other
needful vessel. The husk or coir sur
rounding the nut yields the best fiber
possible for braiding into ropes or
cables, cspe cially as such cables float
and are practically indestructible by
water. One OF these cables, four inches
thick and $50 feet long, together with
numerous other coir articles, can b.,
seen in the galleries of the Field Col
umbian Museum. The Polynesians
twist and braid this fiber into small
cords that serve in house construction
where we would use nails, while the
whole husk needs but to be cut in two
lengthwise to form an excellent pair
of scrubbing brushes. The utility of
the nut does not cease here, for the
ripe meat yields, on pressure or heat
ing in the sun, fine oil for cooking
or illuminating purposes, as well as for
the toilet. Nothing obtainable is
more refreshing under the blazing
tropic sun than amounting the body
with clean, sweet cocoanut oil. Large
quantities of this oil are shipped to
various countries, where it is used in
making gpharmaceutic preparations and
in the manufacture of candles and
soaps.

leaves are also made into fans, para

leaflets serve as paper when written

verted by splitting into neat hair
