An Experts Opinion.

no THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The fracture along the line OF rivets In the ex-
poded boiler Of tho Westheld, think can be traced
10 the evil practice that boiler makers nave twhen
putting boiler together or repairing an old one OF
driving taper steel punch Tor drifn through the
fvet holes to bring them together. The proper way
Vwhen the holes do not correspond) IS to use hand
Eimmer ana rim the holes into position. put as II
fo0uires some manual labor to do this they resort
kO the dangerous practice OF drifting the holes,
which results IN fracturing tie sheet and throwing
kn undues train on the rivets. l have examined
lumber or exploded boilers IN my day and have
HlWays found some OF the sheets parted at the
Seam, and believe in most cases the cause OF the
