iii III wizard ia out In q long article in the Louis
vile Cpurier Of the 6th III which he discusses at
length The causes ard remedies Of boiler explo-
sions and claims to have discovered the great se-
cxst Why 10 many accidents BY explosion occur.
Mss Wizard assumes that suspended steam may rest
On die unruiied surface Of water without necessa-
xiy hnparting its temperature to It, and that the
moment Il can get At the water, BY reason of its
iSysed sriaee is Instantly rarifes it into s;eam,
#ashthe force and rspidity Of ignited powder with
out the steam d safety valve indicating any
undus pressure 0f steam.
Mrs Wards remedy for explosions from this
.cause Ii given by himself as follows
Al thermometer, with its huib inserted In the
steam ana then In the water, would Indicate the
HSsiIeieEce 0f the temperature and the danger.
2asible plugf or plug Of metal fusibe at the high
est safe Temperature inserted, and exposed 10 the
hsatEc the steam In q dry pipe or pipe passing
through the steam room, with number Of small
h9lsH parforAting the upper all sides of the pipe
its whole length would allow the escape Of this
dangerous superhEated steam without pruducinga
waveor ripple onthe surface Of the water, as in
the case of Tho tArpttle-vaye being opened, the
motion given by starting. Or n q dry pipe can
fes ssI8ced brass rod that expands more than the
sexpHnsian pf the pipe may move q valve inserted
inside 6f another valve, moved <bT graduated
motionl hy the pressure 30 That when the tempera-
turA increases faster than the pressure, the valve
wcnld separate and allow the escape Of The super
\ heated steam ais before from the dry pipe. The
thermometers, however, would in most cases be
sufficient aa this dangerous state Of things does not
hagpen every dhy, and when indicated could be
avoided by carefully putting out the fire and ceol
sg aK The boiler by throwing water on the outside
