REASON WHY BOILERS ExPLoDE-Ths
momentous question was ably discussed be-
fore the Society for the Advancement of Art
and Science, in New York ON Friday night
Mr.. Norman Wizard, the inventor of the
Wizard gun, proposed as a theory the unequal
expansion of the metal of the boiler caused by
superheated steam acting on portion of the
surface The boiler above the water line is
greately heated, and thus more expanded than
the metal in contact with the water The
boiler is thus strained and weakened, so that
it may yield to the ordinary pressure of the
steam. The explosion rarely or never takes
place while the engine is working, but when
it is started after a short rest. The stoppage
Of the engine often causes an unequal heating
and expansion of the boiler, which it is unable
to bear. He said that the explosive force of
the steam was caused by the momentum COM
muncated to aid it when the rupture takes
place Mr.. Wizard illustrated the theory by
several diagrams, and concluded with citing
few examples in support of his theory.

from The National Intelligence, January IL
The fact, as we suppose, is beyond doubt, that
what may be called peace commission is now
in Richmond. tits not our purpose to anticipate,
aud. certainly II would not be 70 our taste to
draw an unpleasant picture of the probable result
OF such a mission Whatever may be it's end as
ar honorable snd legitimate peace measure, we
endorse il cordially and entirely. Ii the past
teaches anything in this connection, then con
ference with the Richmond authorities does not
promise much. unless, indeed the marked change
in the tone of anti administration papers in the
north towards the south-a change quite general
within a few days past, and one quite necessary
in some quarters. absurdly tinctured with south
ern sympahy-shall have Invested the rebel
leaders of the hope that any longer their cause
has. in any material degree, the smallest chance
in the north
Southern independence Is not contemplated by
any portion of northern sentiment. The rebel
lion stands condemned aud excuseless, and the
outside line OF conservatism seems TO be that
which would modify the amnesty proclamation,
and tie more stringent legislation of Congress.
But in most important sense this mission. il
honorably and fairly conducted. is wise stroke
OF administrative policy. If the authorities az
Richmond shall make il manifest that their ulti-
matum is separation, then the war party OF the
north will be amply strengthened for the require
men,s OF the government. And hence it is bet
ter. in any light in which this grave matter can
be regarded that our people may be made 10
see beyond peradventure whether or not an hon
orable peace is now attainable Ii is not to be
disguised that many wise and good men in the
land think that fair peace is compassable. I'm
less this mission shall be obscured and disfgured
by diplomatic triekery, the country will soon be
enabled to see how this important matter really
is. At all events this step is the most import
ant one of the war. Ia it saying too much 10
