IMPRISONED IN BoILER.-A somewhat
extraordinary and very alarming accident
occurred recently at the steam printing
Office of Messrs. Norman. at Cheltenham,
Canada. The engine boiler is powerful
Cornish one, of Tuxford's make, there be-
ing two fre-holds in parallel tubes passing
through the middle of the cylinder. at
the time of the accident the boiler was
being cleaned, and two persons. man and
a boy, were at work inside Of it, the man
being in the further end of the cylinder
and the boy just inside the man-hole
1t Is supposed that the lad was about
getting out through the man-hole, when his
foot slipped between the two tubes, and,
losing nerve, his struggles to extricate
himself only forced his leg further in until
it became jammed above the knee joint
An effort to pull him out was resisted by
the lad, and very soon his leg began to
swell, so as to make its removal increas-
ingly difficult His body being fixed in
the aperture of the man-hole almost ex-
cIuded the air from the man at the end of
the boiler, and things were looking serious
before couple of surgeons and gang of
smiths from the wagon works could be
brought.
Fears being entertained for the man, the
first task was to wrench off the safety-valYe
pipe, and so give him air aud pass stimu-
lants to him. The men then applied them
selves to the extrication of the lad, and al
first tried to free him by forcing wedges in
through the man-hule to drive the tubes
asunder. After some time this was found
to be impossible, the lads body leaving
little room for the insertion of the wedges
and the tubes bruising instead of bending.
The men then had to face the task of loos-
ening one of the tubes from the boiler
plate and as they we're fastened together
by counter-sunk rivets, the task was A
formidable one, and two or three hours
before it could be effected, the lad bad
tainted several times, and it was with
difficulty life could be kept in him. Both
are now suffering from the shock and from
the bruises which the jarring of the boiler
occasioned.

Indians in making their spear and arrow
heads. In several places, also, urns or vases
of different kinds have been discovered. S
vessels made of steatite or soap-stone, and
suited TO be used over fire, as pot or ket
tie, arc frequently met with. These | have
been disposed to regard, on account of their
superior finish, as the workmanship of the
more ancient Inhabitants of the country.
An old citizen informed me that about forty
wears ago, while he and two of his neighbors
were at work constructing or repairing a
road near what is called the Rolling Bank in
SwantOn, they found human skeleton of
gigantic size. 1t was uncovered by the
seraper with which they were removing the
soil The skull was of such dimensions
that one of the men, although himself of
large proportions, readily placed his head
within its cavity. The bones, or portion
of them, were examined by physician, and
according to his estimate, were such as to
indicate that the individual TO whom they
belonged must have been from seven and g
half to eight feet in height. These, per
haps, were likewise the remains of one of
those ancient people who once inhabited the
region. and Of whom it may be ftly said
" there were giants IN the land in those days.

Of the stern Of the ship, the open draw is

Dimensions of Steam Boilers.

The Manufacturer and Bladder says
When water is evaporated and changed into
steam at two hundred and twelve degrees,
it is found that it expands about one thous-
and seven hundred and twenty-eight cubic
inches, the common and correct statement
is. that every cnbic inch of water will give
one cubic foot Of steam. Steam, therefore,
is one thousand seven hundred times lighter
than water, and as common air is only
about eight hundred times lighter than,
water, it appears that steam possesses less
than half the weight Of air for the same
bulk. This, by the way also explains the
diminished atmospheric pressure Of the
moist atmosphere, as demonstrated by the
falling of the barometer before the excess
Of moisture comes down-that is to say,
before it rains
Different experiments and observations
have shown, moreover, that it is necessary
to change fifteen cubic inches Of water into
fifteen feet of steam every minute in order
to obtain one horsepower. This is the
mean result, and is adopted as tolerably cor
rect. 1t will, therefore, require the eva
poration of sixty BY fifteen or nine hun
dred and fifty cubic inches of water per
hour and a boiler must be capable to
evaporate about one thousand cubic inches,
or about forty pounds Of water per hour for
every horse power of the work to be per
formed. CA horsepower is, of course,
thirty-three thousand pounds lifted every
minute one foot high.) A boiler Of one
hundred horsepower means, then, boiler
able to evaporate four thousand pounds Of
water per hour but practice shows that it
is economical to have the boiler larger and
Of more steam producing capacity than is
absolutely required. But the expansion Of
water into steam gives an increase of /, 700
times its volume only by the use of very
low pressure, while this increase in volume
is considerably less when, BY the application
Of heat far above PIP deg, (the common
boiling point steam is produced Of higher
pressure and temperatures. Therefore, in
place of requiring the evaporation Of only
$50 or 1000 cubic inches of water per
hour to produce one horsepower, it usually
takes some 100 to 1900 and sometimes
1000 cubic inches, except in boilers and en-
gines of very superior construction. Hence
the usual statement. as laid down in the
books, which il, in the main, correct, that
il is necessary to evaporate one cube foot
Of water per hour for every horsepower
To do this properly requires, as found BY
long experience, for every horsepower one
quarter, one bali, or one whole square foot
Of fire-ba in the CRATE, eight to eighteen
square feet of heating-surface Of boiler, three
cubic feet of furnace room, ten cubic feet Of
water in the boiler, and ten cubic feet of
steam room. These are somewhat rough
approximations but they are numbers
easily remembered, and sufficiently near the
truth for stationary hand-engines. For
steamships, and still more for locomotives,
these proportions vary considerably.

How TO RAISE BREAD QU1cK.-We

take one pint of shorts; of sugar, salt,
saleratus and ginger, one teaspOonful pour
on boiling water and stir il until it is all
wet through, and let it stand over night; in
the morning make it about the consistency
of common emptyings, using warm water

PEA SoUP.-W ben your corned beef is
about half done, take it up for short time,
pour enough cold water in the pot to stop
the boiling, and skim off all the fat that
rises. Have ready, picked and washed,
pint or a quart of dried split peas Gas your
family is large or smalD, put them in the
pot, put back the meat, and let all boil
slowly till the peas are soft and the meat
done. The soup is very good, and the beef
is nice to eat cold, in thin slices.
RAISED CAKE WITHOUT EGGs.-Stir
together a coffee-cupfull of light sugar, and
half cupfull Of butter; add a pint of
warm water, half a cupfull Of yeast. and

Put in the pan, let rise until light; then

don Builder of Feb. 5, contained a sugges-
ton that for interior walls, and indeed for
surfaces exposed to weather, one end and
one side Of the bricks should be covered with
vitreous glaze.
The suggestion is, in our opinion, an ex-
cellent one, and worthy earnest considera-
ton. Not only might increased durability
be thus secured without the use of paint,
but ornamental effects of the highest order
might easily he obtained
The article in the Builder has called
forth an interesting correspondence upon
the subject, from which it appears that the
plan proposed BY that journal, namely, the
glazing of walls after their construction, by
the use of a heated iron plate to fuse the
coating Of glazing material previously ap-
piled: has in it many elements Of impractical
bility.
1t is argued that difficulty would be ex-
perienced in laying on the glazing material
with a brush, where colors had been pre-
viously employed for ornamentation, without
at the same time disturbing the colors !;
and that if q glaze sufficiently bard
to resist the action Of the weather be used
it would be impossible TO fuse il i'm the
manner proposed. A better way would be
to lay the glazing material upon half burn
ed bricks, and complete the burning in q
muffied kiln that is. kiln with lining Of
thin tire-clay, to protect the surfaces of
the bricks from dust.
The halfhalf burnt bricks will take color
well when it is desired to ornament them.
ln this case it is suggested that the half
burnt bricks be laid in wall in the position
they are to occupy when put in buildings,
and the design painted upon them, after
which they they are to be taken down and
burned as above stated.
| 1t is thought that in this way impervious
walls Of highly decorative order might be
obtained, and we fail to see any impractica-
billty in the plan. Ia fact, one Of the cor
respondents of the Builder states that he
has glazed several common bricks. in imi-
tation of the old Assyrian and Babylonian
bricks to be seen in the Museum of
Geology, in Jermyn street. London, with
perfect success not only making the bricks
non-absOrbent, but initiating the colors Of
the ancient specimens referred to. He also
states that be has had perfect success in
painting designs and burning them in, and
that be is convinced common bricks can be
thus glazed at moderate cost. He also has
succeeded in glazing bricks ard retaining
their bright red color, and states that the
bricks thus produced would make highly
ornamental interior walls, without the use Of
plaster, paper, or paint.
A great collateral advantage in the use
of such bricks for outside walls, aside from
the fact that they need not be painted to
render them impervious, is, that their sur
faces would be cleaned by every fall Of rain,
and would therefore always look fresh and
bright There is no doubt that the prevail
ing monotony Of bricks and mortar, which
now prevades many Of our American cities,
might be greatly enlivened and relieved BY
the introduction Of glazed and ornamented
bricks for fronts. What architects will be
the first to carry out the idea in this coun-
try?
