A New Theory--Electrici /" Steam
Boilers.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin We ex
tract the following:

From the Philadelphia Eullst,n We ex.
tract the following:
Every investigation into the causes Of
steam boiler explosion that meets our eye
shows the helpless ignorance that exists
everywhere. The most elaborate inquiry
can scarcely enablo jury to do more than
offer a conjecture as to the causes, and an
intimation that the disaster may have been
the result Of somebody's carelessness.
To.day's mail brings US southern papers
containing an elaborate report from
Louisiana Grand Jury on the terrible ex-
plosion Of the steamer Princess. 1t tells
nothing except that "opinions" agree in
ascribing it to a deficiency Of water, and
then they proceed, for the purpose Of sat
istying the public mind, to censure per.
sons FOR lack Of vigilance and caution.--
Bot this is all that the reporl amounts to.
The real cause Of the phenomenon which
led to the calamity is not hiatel At.
tin, signed "H. d. b. placed clearly be-
fore the public the results Of certain ex.
periments made by Messrs. K. L. Lloyd
and George I. Parry, in illustration Of a
theory first suggested By Mc. Lloyd aud
after his death developed by Mr.. Parry.
Cur readers need npt have the slorY told
over again. The idea is that electricity,
generated in boilers, as it is ia the a,mos.
ph re, may explode under certain circum-
stances, as it does in The atm0sp' e:s: and
that by introducing permanently ir;o the
boiler an insulated metallic rod. tbs Iao-
tricity may constantly be carrie Of harm

to test au Instrument OF this kind in {,
boiler that had already been some years
in use, seem to have been very faithfully

those assisting him, exposed themselves

and then suddenly supplied with cold wa

A Rich Incident.

tapped lightly at the door at first and re.
ceived To answer. Again and asai- he
repeated his knock, but still unhsard -
Mastering up courage, he proceeded to in,
iiict some severe thumps on the door,
which brought the old gentleman out
i suppose said the youngster who had
By this time become slightly savage, from
being compelled to wait so long, i sap

The dam roaring! What do you mean
sir? How dare you speak in this way :?
said the divine somewhat angry, at hearing
the young man swear in his presence.
i mean to say sir, tha, suppose you
could not hear my knocking on account Of
the dam roaring.

Have you the impudence to insult me with

stead Of cutting them off. Mr.. B. opened
his eyes and there stood his wife with o
razor at his throat After what had been
told him, and seeing this, he could not
doubt that she intended to murder him.
He sprang from the bed in horror, and no
explanation or entreaty could convince
him to the contrary. So from this time
forth, there was no more peace for that
house. 1t was jaw, jaw, quarrels and
wrangling all the time.
With delight the Devil heard of the sue
cess Of the faithful. emissary. and sent her
word that if she would meet him at the
foot Of the lawn, at certain time, he
would pay her the shoes.
At the appointed time, she repaired to
the spot and found the Devil at the place.
He put the shoes on the end of long
pole, and standing on the opposite side OF
the fence, handed them over TO her. She
was very much pleased with them, they
were exactly the article.
"But there is one thing, Mr.. Devil, that
| would like to have explained: Tha, is
why you hand them to me on that stick ?"
Very easy to explain" re piled he, ANY
one who has the cunning and meanness to
do as YOU have done, don't get nearer than
twenty feet Of me ?" So saying he fed in
terror.
After a while the old woman died, and
when she applied for admittauce to the
lower regions, the Devil wo, d not let her
in, for fear sho might dethroae him, as
sne was so much superior. So the old
woman is yet compelled to wander over
the world, creating quarrels and strife in
peaceful families and neighborhoods.
Would You know her name?
It is Madame Scandal. When she died
her children, the young Scandalizers, were
left orphans, but the Devil, in consdera-
ton OF past services done by the mother,
adopted them, and you see he is the father
Of that respectable class called Scandal
mongers.

Under this head, we find the following
amusing story going the rounds:
A few months ago, as Mr.. ingalls, Of
Swampcoot, r. L., was travelling the west
ern part Of the State Of New York, he fell
in with an Irishnan who had lately arriv.
ed in this country, and was in quest Of a
brother who came before him and settled
in some OF the diggins in that vicinity.
Pat was a strong, athletic man, strong
Catholic and had never seen the interior

The meeting was opened with prayer
by the pastor. Pat was eyeing him very
closely, VIXEN the old gentleman who was
standing in the pew directly in front Of
Pat shouted Glory

with bis loud whisper, which was plainly

The parson grew more tervent in his de
vo'ions. Presently the deacon uttered an
audible groan.
'Hist.t-t, ye blachguard, have We no da,

moment giving the Deacon punch ia the
ribs, which caused him nearly to loose his
equilibrium. The minister stopped. and
