The Rur.iInr Of steam.BoIIers.

The terrible accident ON the Staten
Island ferry-bOat, by which hundred
lives were lost. and hundred persons
crippled OF injured, still continues 10 alb
sorb the attention Of the whole commu-
nifty, who demand greater safety in Steam
boilers, or in the management OF them.
From the contradictory views express
ed by persons who are considered ex-
perts. il is apparent that comparatively |
little is In reality known about the causes |
of boiler explosions. The opinion pre-
walls generally that the most essential
thing in safety is, that the boile. should
be very strong.
A different and novel doctrine on this
subject was recently advanced in our
hearing by practical engineer. He ex-
pressed, with great confidence, that
there is only one cause ever, for the ex-
plosion of boiler, and that is, letting the
water get too low. He says you cannot
explode a boiler in a way to cause any
considerable loss of life by any other
means.
But the most curious point in his
theory is, that the stronger the boiler,
il the water is allowed to get low enough
TO explode il, the more disastrous will be
the consequences.
He contends that if celd water is let
suddenly into q heated boiler, an explo-
sion is inevitable, no matter how strong
the boiler may be; and the greater the
force employed to confne the steam, the
more terrible will be the explosion.
Familiar facts seem to sustain this
doctrine. If you fire powder in gun
without any wad over the powder, it ex-
plodes with very little force and scarcely
any noise whereas, if you put tight
wad over the powder, ram it down hard,
, then put shot and another wad over that,
the powder explodes with great force
, and q loud noise. Moreover, it often
causes the gun to recoil, and sometimes
bursts the gun-barrel. Sportsmen are
very careful about too tight wadding, ol
! too heavy charges of shot, which contine
the powder too strongly, as the powder,
E when ignited, must force whatever con
5 fines it assunder,
e And yet how in principle, are the
. tight wadding and heavy charges of shot
different from the strong steam boiler
| Another thing: men engaged in blast
{ ing rock know that the success of theil
n operations depends, in a great degree
b upon the thoroughness and strength o
the tamping.
f Drill q round hole in q rock, and fill

h up in the air, and frequently breaking i
d pieces tons of the rock into which til
d hole has been drilled.
q These views are thrown out as worth
a the consideration of men of science.
s. One conclusion we are obliged to com

v portance Whether steam-boilers az
er strong or weak, they are very dangerou

,e and wisely attended to.

A terrible explosion occurred in coal
mine near the town of Wigan, in Lanca-

catastrophe were cut off from communil,,

suffocated by foul air. A party sent
down to ascertain the condition OF the
men who had been buried alive suffered,
and many of them perished. The neigh

A New ENEMY. new and mysterious
enemy of sheep, more fatal even than
the murderous dogs, has made its ap-
pearance and dreadfully ravaged the
flocks of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The
animals being found dead, no marks OF
violence are to be observed, save small
hole behind the ear, from which the
blood has been sucked. This has led to
the conclusion that the destroyer is a
kind of bat, or, more properly speak
ing. vampire creature which even
men may fear, since it may not have an
exclusive taste for the vital fluid OF the
muttons. This, the curculio and potato
bug. renders our present assortment OF
noxious vermin very complete.

Japanese Fireworks.

A correspondent who witnessed an ex-
hibition of fireworks in Japan says -
The day fireworks beat anything of the
kind ever heard of. Out of a wooden
mortar bound with iron is sent high in
the air what looks like marble in size.
As it goes up it bursts, and out OF it
come parachutes of bright lines. and
hanging from them firecrackers that are
continually going off. Balloons Of va
rious sizes, some of them quite large,
and of course inflated open umbrellas ;
ribbons yards long, and at least eighteen
inches wide, floating and twisting them
selves in the air men riding on fishes,
muszmes, jillrikiskas, all made Of paper,
reminding me of the bon-bons at parties
for the German cotillion, only these out
here far surpass those at home. Some.
times these bonds burst in the air, and
streamers of smoke with a dense body
from which they radiate, resembling
huge many-legged spiders, shoot out
and sometimes it is countless serpents
twisting and turning, about three hun
dred feet in the air-the smoke being o.
several colors. All this should be see1
,be appreciated. The night firework
also were beautiful. Around the race
track, on bamboo poles, had been huns
some kind of firework, and when tn
time came to set it off, suddenly hgh
flashed with inconceivable rapidity fron
one end, and in an instant all was burn
ing, presenting the aspect of an immens
waterfall of liquid fire, the effect OF whic
was really grand. Another favorite piec

Fight between a Cat and Snake.

A few DAYS ago q gentleman who is en-
gagged in farming in Tennessee was walk
inc through his field, near where his
hands were blowing, when he discovered
q cat at some distance coming toward
him. Presently the cat turned aside,
and souatting very low, appeared to
creep stealthily along, as though in
search of game. He quickened his steps
to see if he could discover what was up;
He soon discovered snake about foot
and a half or two feet long, and as the
cat approached, the snake coiled and put
himself in striking position. The cat
instantly walked directly up to the snake
and held out one foot near his snank-
ships head, as if daring him to strike.
Master snake, being full of spunk, was
NOT the chap to take dare ; consequent
Iv he responded with his full strength,
but when his head should have been IN
direct contact with the cats paw, the
paw. like the Irishman's flea, want
thar: and before the head could be
Withdrawn, it received a heavy blow from
the cats foot, and the paw was again
presented, with similar results. About
four rounds of this sort occurred, when
tbe snake seemed to remember " he who
fights and runs away may 1--we TO ngnt
1 another day." and with this understand
ing uncoiled and started to quit the held:
"How vain are all our earthly hopes"
his snakeship had no sooner com
menced his retreat than pussy pounced
upon him and bit him entirely through
the body in three or four places, each OF
which. our observer thinks, was a fatal
bite. After this the cat appeared to be
satisfied, and quietly withdrew
