SCI Why BonERs ExPLoDE.-One OF she
most most momentouss questions Of the day,
and and which is probably of greater inter-
est in the West and Southwest than
any other portion of the world. s.The
reason why boilers explode was ably
discussed before the Society for the
Advancenantr Of Art and Science, in
New York, recently.
Mr.. Norman WiiGd, inventor OF the
Wizard gun, proposed ass. theory the
unequal expansion of the meal of the
boiler, caused by super-heated steam
acting upon the portion of the surface.
The boiler above the water line is thus
greatly heated, and thus more expand
ed than the metal in contact with the
water.
The boiler is thus strained and weak
ened, 50 that it may yield to3the ordi-
nary pressure of the steam. The ex-
plosion rarely or never takes place
while the engine is working, but when
it is started after q short rest. 81 +
The. stoppageliofD the engines often
causes an unequal heating and expan-
sion of the boiler, which it is unable to
bear. He. said that the explosiyeforce
of the steam was caused by the mo-
mentum communicated to aid it when
the rupture takes place. Mr.. Wizard
illustrated the theory by several dia-s
grams, and concluded with citing o few
examples in support of his theory II
