ground, through the side of the house
or cellar, up to the floor on which the
tub is to be located, and thence to an
outlet into suspended metal tank
holding 80 gallons of water, and an
additional pipe reaching from the bot
tom of the first tank to an auxiliary
tank, as shown, having capacity Of
about 20 gallons. The necessary
elbows, stop cocks and waste cock for
emptyng the pipe of water during the
winters cold must also be allowed for.
Send these measurements, with
rough diagram of the different courses
and turns of the pipe, giving the
lengths of each course in feet and
| inches, to some large plumbers sup
| ply dealer for estimate Of cost, includ-
! ing porce1ain-lined tub and copper
bottom, galvanized tank, the estimate
| to include threaded ends of pipe,
threaded elbows, and cocks, all ready
| to screw together. The tanks for water
| should be for the larger 14x16x31
inches, the other 14x16x20 inches,
cross-braced on the inside both ways
to prevent bulging, ''tell-tale" 1&-inch
lead pipe soldered into hole one inch
from the top and long enough to pass
through the side of the house, to over

hooks that pass up through ceiling
and bolt through crosspieces of wood,
resting on the garret joists
The tub shown is 5 feet long, of the
usual standard make. Have a piece
OF lead pipe (E) feet long, soldered
to the bent outlet of the tub, to run
the waste water out of doors; suspend
the tanks as shown, with their tops
| on the same level, SO that both tanks
may fill at the same time; then close
the cock in the pipe to the smaller
tank, keeping the cold water in it to
temper the hot water when it is run
into the tub.
The connection of the iron water
pipe with the pump is accomplished
by the use of piece of rubber hose,
to one end of which the usual force

the other end being wired on to the
iron water pipe terminal. The hose
may be loosened from the pump and
held aside on hook, to permit the
| usual uses of the pump.
The larger tank (A) of water is
heated by single blue-flame, wick
less kerosene heater CO.. If there be
a small stove in the room, used or
dinarily for keeping the chill out of
the room in the winter time, portion
of the heat of the fire may be utilized
to heat the water, without using the
kerosene heater. This is done by
having piece of 1a-inch iron water
pipe (D), 40 inches long, bent over
like hairpin, and having two rubber.
hose connections with tank, by means
of two unions, located, one near the

above it. This insures circulation. and
very hot water in the winter, when
the bent pipe has been. lowered into
the fire, through hole or holes in the
stove cover, as shown. The bent pipe
may be suspended from a chain and
weight as shown in the illustration,
With either Of these two arrangements
of water heating, both simple, and Of
little expense, any temperature of
water desirable for bathing purposes
may be had. = .:.
