HOW 10 KEEP WARM.
Merits u Hot Air, Hot Water and Steam
For House Heating. 53t s5

@ s For House Heating.
Once upon q time high temperature
was all that people required from the
systems used in heating their houses,
but good, wholesome air is now the main
feature. says a writer in the New York
Tribune, who furnishes the following:
The physicians have educated the people
to understand that hot rooms are not
conducive to good health, and they have
caused the mean temperature Of the av-
erage dwelling house to fall several de-
grees in the last few years. Much was
expected in the way Of electricity for
heating purposes, but as yet it has not
justified anticipations. Electricity may
become q rival to steam. hot air and hot
water some day said an expert in the
heating business, but the day is not
yet in sight. The real competition in
house heating lies between hot air.
steam and hot water. sssss Il Z
The hot air furnace continues in high
favor, and dealers say that the Gales
have been larger this year than ever be-
fore. The furnaces Of the latest patterns
are superior in many respects to any
that have ever been placed on the mar
ket, and expert mechanics are continue
ally devising new methods to lessen the
objections to the furnace heat. 5s'''It is
bound to remain the most popular = q
dealer said, because it is the least ex-
pensive, and people will overlook a lit
tie dust and a little bad air once in
awhile if they know that they are saw
ing money. = ..ss5; w ".
It is estimated that steam plant costs
about twice as much as a hot air plant,
and that to heat house by hot water
plant must be put up which will cost
about 30 per cent more than the one for
steam. The same calculation makes the
fuel for the hot air plant the most ex-
pensive, that for steam Is per cent less.
and for the hot water system rs per-
cent less than steam. #@& -
Large buildings will continue to us's
steam until somd system less expensive
can be. devised, and, when it is taken
into consideration THAT most Of the heat
in the large Office buildings and facto-
ries is furnished by exhaust steam, it is
easy to understand that to furnish a
cheaper system is difficult task. Many
new houses are also, being fitted with
steans heating plants; But where the
cost is not taken into consideration, and
where the matter Of space does not play
an important part, hot water is being
used. The advocates Of the system say
that it is less complicated, and that
when people know that the fear of es-
plosiona is absolutely groundless more
