Inches in diameter. The area of a ten-inch pipe Is one-half square foot. One of these pipes leads to each room that Is to be heated. Thus. all the heat that can be introduced into a single room through a pipe of this character must come through this small opening.
 In contrast, the area of a doorway In an ordinary home is 17 square feet. and 8 times as much as a pipe open ing. A double door Is twice as large and If there happens to be colOnnades, or no doors, there is just that much more area for the induction of heat. Thus instead of carrying the heat into room through small pipe you carry it in through the door openings. Or. rather. you don't carry 1t in. but 1t goes in whether you want 1t to or not.

 Heat Wasted on Basement
 In the basement a maze of pipes was strung. each pipe leading to a room above. These pipes. as the heated air passed through them. threw off much of the heat. In fact, the basement. where no one habitually sits or stays any longer than is necessary got the first crack at the heat. Coatings of various kinds and of more or less val ue were applied to the pipes to keep the heat in. Still much of the heat was wasted on the deserted basement.

By WILLIAM 4. RApFoRD.

Fifty or sixty years ago some one conceived the idea that a stove with a jacket around 1t, placed in the base ment, with an opening above 1t, could be made to heat a house. He thought so we'll of the idea that he made a model. drew plans and specifications and secured a patent.
 The heater was built. Because of the jacket an inflow of air was need ed. This was provided by an air duct leading into the space between the jacket and the stove from out of doors. Heat poured through the opening above. but for some reason the house wouldn't get warm. After experiment. ing . while. the inventor gave 1t up and allowed his patent to lapse.
 That man probably never knew how near he came to helping solve a mod ern heating problem. Either he did not know or overlooked the fact that in heating . house. or a store, or any type of building. the air heated by the fire must displace the cold air In that house, or store building. He had neglected to provide an outlet for the
