As the temperature of the water is automatically controlled, the atmosphere of the rooms may be kept at the desired degree, the presence of radiators in each room, all of the same temperature, giving an even heat over the entire house.
An ideal dining-room of its kind, modern painted furniture, Empire in design. In this case yellow with decoration in white. Curtains, thin yellow silk. Even the steam radiators are here cleverly concealed by wooden cases made after Empire designs. The walls are white and panelled in wood also white. The earliest garments of Egypt were of cotton and hemp, or mallow, resembling flax.
"If a man works with a plow instead of a screwdriver, it doesn't follow that his mind is as vacant as a cow that stands stockstill in the middle of the road to show you that you can't fool her into thinking that radiators are good to eat."
It was a nasty day, rainy and blowy and cold, and most of the fellows were huddling indoors around the radiators. Steve and Tom, on opposite sides of the table, were chewing the ends of their pens and trying to write their Sunday letters when the visitors came. Steve was studiedly haughty, as, to his mind, became one who was unjustly suspected of dishonesty.
There was no more heat in the radiators of the hotel there than at Burgos, but for that evening at least there was none needed.
The air in the house was too warm, radiators were purring everywhere, logs crackled in the fireplaces of the dining-room and hall. Susan, looking into the smaller library, saw Ella in a wadded silk robe, comfortably ensconced beside the fire, with the newspapers. "Good-morning, Sue," said Ella politely. Susan's heart sank. "Come in," said Ella. "Had your breakfast?"
This warned her that the breakfast call would soon sound and she left the ice reluctantly and ran back to the hall. Before she reached the kitchens the sun popped up and she ran in the path made by its glowing rays across the frozen fields. It was so cold that the early rising girls were hugging the radiators in the big hall when Nancy came in from the rear, all in a delightful glow.
Indirect heating is provided by passing air over radiators attached to the ceiling of the basement, thence to the upper rooms. In the "direct-indirect" system the radiators are placed in the partition walls of the rooms they are to heat, the cold air being brought through a duct and, being heated, passing into the rooms.
The Scotchman had signed his name to the document certifying to the stop of the flyers at Kuka, the paper on which they were to secure certifications at every scheduled airport, and they were just in the act of starting over to the field tank to get some water for the airplane's radiators, when, without a moment's warning a hair-raising chorus of yells broke out on the brooding night air, and scores of savage-looking figures sprang from the shadows of the buildings into the open field.
At the same instant, there was an ear-splitting roar as if a boiler had exploded and a flash of ruddy flame. The exploding gas had caught fire possibly from a spark from the electric radiators as the bag and their supporting framework was ripped apart by the explosion. Dazed and half stunned, the boys groped about in total darkness; for the explosion had extinguished every light on the ship.
