Indeed, the circulation of air they produce in a room is so sluggish that the temperature of the room varies greatly at different heights. "Ruttan, whose observations were made in Canada, states that in a stove-heated basement room, over a cold cellar, he has frequently seen water freeze on the floor when the temperature of the air at the ceiling was 100, and has often observed a difference of i (F.) in the temperature of the air for every foot of height in a stove-heated school-room, sixteen feet high, which was exposed on two sides to outside air at 0." 1 But if a casing is arranged around a stove, with a space left between it and the stove, open below and above, the column of air within the casing will be doubly heated bycontact on one side with the stove and on the other with the casing. Being protected from the cooling influence of the surrounding air it will rise rapidly and produce a circulation in the room which will equalize its temperature. 1 Johuson'H Universal Cyclopaedia. The next step was to put the stove in a chamber by itself, adjoining or below the room to be heated. The external air was admitted into this chamber, warmed, and conducted by flues about the building, and the whole formed a hot-air furnace.

The fresh air is generally taken from the outside, and it is in this respect, as well as in the principle of the circulation produced by the casing, that the furnace is superior to the close stove, while in the loss of the advantage of direct radiation from the sides of the heater it stands inferior ...
