Lake disasters accounted for.

A correspondent of the Detroit Free Press SAYS
that the lives of four hundred people have been
sacrificed this year on Lake Steamers, and he
attributes this alarming loss of life, to the pars.
mony of Steamboat owners who buy cheap high
pressure engines, instead of the more costly, but
more safe and substantial low pressure. He says
that while the number of high and low pressure
boats on the Lakes are about equal, there have
been ten high pressure boats burnt and but two
of low pressure. Ten of these boats were to.
tai loss There has been seven explosions, in
volving loss of life, five high pressure, and two
ow pressure, of seventy six fires on board of
teamers now in commission, seventy five were
on high pressure boats. Not one low pressure
boat built during the last ten years has even been
on fire, and scarcely high pressure boat now
running that has not been on fire one or more
times.
He says that the cause ofthis difference is tina,
the fire which creates, the steam is entirely sur.
rounded by water on the low pressure boats rem
dering it impossible for fire to communicate with
the wood work, while on high pressure boats al
intense heat is kept up for weeks in succession
convenient to the wood work under deck
This is matter worthy of being known to the
