FOOD. and that the iron vas of the requisite
thicknes., but discovered serious break in
the inner caine, which evidently existed
long before the explosion. The outer edge
of the fragment vas much brighter than the
inner, and from this fact and certain other in
dic,tious he has come to the conclusion the
inner c.aing vas broken either when the
boiler vas made, nine yean ago, or give
away subsequently, when subjected to severe
teH. He expes.ed The opinion that the
boiler has for . loag time besn held together
