EXPLOSION OF KITCHEN BoILERs.-Itis is
well known that water in a close vessel
under pressure, and in quiescent state,
can gradually be raised to temperature
far above the boiling point of water with
out converting it into steam. But on the
least disturbance the whole of the water
IS instantly converted into steam, with
force sufficient to rupture the strongest
boilers. All these conditions ex-
ist in our ordinary kitchen boilers,
and the explosions some times oc-
curing are doubtless thus caused.
AS precaution, it is well not to allow
the water in the boiler to remain for a
long time undrawn, but occasionally to
draw off small quantity to relieve it

WIRE surface for plastering is being
adopted, it is said, with much success,
the plan consisting simply in the fasten-
ing of ordinary wire upon the posts, in
place of laths. The wire is passed from a
reel and drawn tightly in horizontal lines,
parallel, and about half an inch apart. 1t
is attached to the standards by means of
two narrow strips of iron, one of which
is nailed to the post, and then another
fastened in the same manner upon the
first, the wires being held at equal dis
tances apart between the iron strips. 1t
would naturally be supposed that plaster
ing applied upon this wire would pass
largely through and fall off; but this
does not prove to be the case, the result
OF the process being a solid wall of plas-
which the wires extend, holding it firmly
THE correspondent of the Cleveland
Leader, writing of the first day of the
Jubilee, says "But one fatal accident
served to mar the harmony of the opening
piece, and that was entirely unavoidable
1t appears workman who had been en-
gagged in setting up the great organ the
day previous, had left his shoes in the
great sixteenfoot pipe, known as the
Bourbon double mouth. Thinking he
had time to get his shoes before the per-
formances began, he descended the pipe /;
but while inside the signal came, the air
was turned on, and, like stone from a
catapult, his body was shot up through
the roof, followed by his shoes, and both
were picked up on Bunker Hill later in
the day. The trifling impediment of a
human body in the pipes does not affect
the beautiful, clear tone of the organ in
the least"
A REMARKABLE CAsE.-At Temescal,
short distance south of the bridge,
stands small white house, in which lives
an honest, industrious man, named
Hanly, with his family-a wife and six
children, one of whom is a girl eighteen
years of age, named Kate. This girl has
been of unsOund mind all her life until
last Wednesday morning, sometimes be-
coming excessively violent; at others
quiet but irresponsible. On Sunday
morning she fell into a deep sleep, from
which she did not arouse until seventy
two hours had passed and ushered in the
morning sun of Wednesday, From this
long sleep she awakened free from the
thraldom of idiocy, and blessed with the
heavenly boon of intelligence. She rec,
egnized none of the persons whom she
knew before, with the exception of the
members of her own family, and natural
ly feels and acts in many respects like a
new being, which it may well be said she
is in fact. -OakIand (CaL) Neocs.
