Abstract
A NEW stove, developed by the Connecticut Forest and Park Association in co-operation with Prof. L. E. Seeley, heating expert of Yale University, burns wood with an efficiency estimated at ninety per cent. It is capable of heating two or three rooms and requires filling only once or twice a day. A report issued by Science Service, of Washington, D.C., says that the new heater holds about two and a quarter cubic feet of wood, or slightly more than 50 lb. It is estimated that it will generate about 40,000 B.T.U./hr. for an eight-hour period without attention. This amount of heat is sufficient for two or three rooms in cold weather. In mild weather the heater will easily run more than twenty-four hours without attention.
