BOILER ExPLosIoNs.-Prof. r. Ii.
Thurston has published in pamphlet form
d report of the trials made last fall at
Sandy Hook. He draws the following con-
illusions: l. Low water, although un-
doubtedly one cause, is not the only cause
of violent explosions, as is so commonly
sunposed. but q most violent explosion
NAV occur with the boiler well supplied
with water. 2. What is generally considered
a moderate steam pressure may produce
A very violent explosion of weak
boiler, containing large body OF water,
and having its flues well covered. .. A
steam boiler may explode under steam at
a pressure less than that which It mas
successfully witbstood at the hydrostatio
test. In subsequent letter to the Efg'',,
eeruaq and Mining Journal, which demurred
to the first part of conclusion l, the profess
sor explains that he referred to very pre-
yalent belief among those managing
steam boilers that an explosion may
always be attributed to low water and
that the invariable effect of over pressure
is simply to rupture the weakest spot, oil,
lowing steam and water to blow out unit
the pressure is taken of. The consequent
feeling of safety among engine-drivers ant
firemen. having charge of boilers rendered
unsafe by other causes, has been, proba
bly,, the cause of many explosions and los
of life. The removal of this false impress
sion will assist greatly in making the rea
causes of the majority of explosions-co
rosion and carelessness or ignorance Il
management-bet recognized.
