before our recollection with few powerful
but inimitable touches. But these attempts
are but few and meagre when we remember
the great unpictured range of character and
incident which yet awaits the limners hand

States revenue service, gave the gene
rally received theory, but other engineers
of equal eminenoe differed from his
conclusions Sn toto. A synopsis of Captain
Wbeeler's testimony appeared in the Anaert-
can at the time it was given, and embodied
about all that the experiments of men of
science have given us on this subject. It
amounted about to this:-When the water is
allowed to get low in the boiler the plates
become red hot, and the tensile power
of the iron is greatly diminished. When the
cold water is turned into the boiler, the in
slant it touches the heated surface it assumes
the spheroidal state, and dances about in
little globules until the temperature is re-
duced to a certain degree, when suddenly the
globules burst and the whole mass is con-
verted into super-heated steam, the expan-
sive power of which is immense. The sud-
den impingement of this mass of steam
upon the plates, already weakened by over
heating, fractures the iron, and an explosion
is the result. This is plain statement of the
principal points, without any pretension to
scientific accuracy.
Now, if the Alpha was in any way delayed,
and did not get to work for considerable
time after her furnace was kindled, and if she
exploded few minutes after her feed pipe
was attached to the water plug, the rupture
of her boiler can be accounted for on the
above theory. We are not advised as to
these facts, but they will doubtless be
developed before the Coroner's jury.
If it should appear from the testi-
timopy however, that she had been at work,
say, ten or fifteen minutes before the explo-
sion, then the cause will have to be looked
for in some defect in the construction of the
boiler, or some weakening of important parts
by long use.
Upon the first hypothesis the explosion
would appear to strengthen the generally re-
ceived theory. The boiler is filed with water
when it starts from the engine-house; steam
is generated until a certain pressure is
reached, and then it escapes. In the mean
time, the water becomes low in the boiler,
and the interior plates become very hot.
When the sucking tube is attached to the
plug the cold water is poured down into the
cavity between the exterior and interior
shells; the plates of the interior shell next
greatly diminished, and when the sudden
the plates they are ruptured.
The fact that the screw bolts were pulled
from the holes without an apparent breaking
of the threads, and that two sides of the in
terror shell are rolled up without any fracture
of the iron except where the main rupture is,
would seem to indicate that the plate was very
hot
Of all boilers those attached to steam fire
engines ought to be constructed and handled
with the greatest care. Every time they are
put in action great crowd gathers around
them, and an explosion puts many lives in
peril. In this case it seems marvellous that
only one man was killed.

THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION.

From the Baltimore AmfTtean.
The bursting of the boiler of the Alpha
steam fire engine on Monday morning, and
the sad calamity that overlook Mr.. Weaver,
has once more aroused the people of the city
to sense of the danger to which they are
constantly exposed by the use of steam boil
ers. They are necessity to civilization, with
out which the great industries of the age can
not be prosecuted; but certain percentage
of risk appears to inevitably attend their use,
against which no ordinary prudence can pro-
vide. The whole theory of boiler explosions
appears to be involved in inexplicable mys-
terry. Ia the late celebrated case Of Plndell
against Stirling & Ahrens, tried in the Sups-
rior Court of Baltimore city, before Judge
Dobbin, intelligent engineers were examined
as experts, and they differed greatly in their
opinions and conclusions as 10 the immediate
causes that induce the rupt1reiof boiler.

il STRANGE AooDEN1.-A strange and
extremely unpleasant mistake occurred
in East Boston recently. A new domes-
io.had just been engaged by family on
London street. The lady of the house
had had occasion to use an application
OF croton oil, and had left bottle of it
in the kitchen. The new girl supposed
it to be hair oil, and thought an applica-
ton would benefit hor hair. So she
poured on q good quantity of it-they
seldom do anything of the kind by
halves-and went to bed. The effect OF
it was not only very surprising, but very
painful. When she arose in the morn
ing, her head was as bald as the tradi-
tional billiard ball, and the oil, which
had trickled down her face, had run into
her eyes, burning her face and seriously
endangeripg her eye-sight. She was re-
moved to the city hospital Tor treatment.
