A DESCRIPTION OF Modem Hot-Water Heating Apparatus - The Methods of their Construction and the Principles Involved.

With Over Two Hundred Illustrations, Diagrams, and Tables.

By WILLIAM J. BALDWIN, M. Am. Soc. C. E.,

Member American Society Mechanical Engineers.

Author of "Steam-Heating for Buildings,"' etc., etc.

Graphical methods are used to illustrate many of the important principles that are to be remembered by the Hot-Water Engineer.

The volume is 8vo.,of 385 pages, besides the index; handsomely bound in cloth, and will be sent postpaid on receipt of $4.00

Among the questions treated are the following:
