STSAMsoArs.-Tae chief precautions o prevent

who are concerned in steamboats, would attend to
them, there would be no danger 10 be apprehendes,
and no need of employing inspectors IL. Cylindri-
cal boilers without any return hle, either without or
within, are safer than any others. 2 Internal fues
should be avoided whenever il is possible; and espe
cialy the chimney, OF vertical fiue, should never be
permitted pass throush the boiler. 3. Every boil
er should be furnished in addition the saetyvalve,
with one not under the control of the fireman. A..
All boilers should be furnished with guage cocks or
other apparatus, TO show the level of the water |;
and these should be so placed in steamboats, that no
error in their indication take place When the YES
sci heels or rolls 5. Plates Of fusblc metal should
be provided having such degree Of fuslbity as TO
melt at temperature so low 10 let off the steam
before il could acquire dangerous degree Of heat.
g. A thermometer should be introduced nte the boil
err the dcatlons Of which may be seen from without.
T. Self acting feeders should be adapted to the boiler
by which water will enter and keep the fluid within,
at a consistent temperature. 3. The chimney should
be provided with damper, by which the draught OF
the hues may be suddenly checked; and doors should,
il possible, be placed upon the ash-pit 9. The
proof of the boilers should be conducted with the
greatest care, first with water, at pressure five OF
six times as great the boiler s intended to carry
and afterwards with steam Of twice the proposed
tension The water proof should be repeated from
time to time and every part carefully examined, 10
