woodruff Clafiin were struggling up to point

Mr.. Purdy denied that this was an attack upon
the liberty, or even, he might say It, upon the
license of the press. 1t was prosecution against
Blood for using the mails for the circulation OF
vulgar and obscene publications. The defendant
had persistently violated the law, and, therefore,
in this case no small amount of bail should be
asked. He moved that bail be fixed at $4,000
The Commissioner fixed the bail at that amount,
and bail for that sum was rendered.

How the Doctors Differ.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Having noticed quite number OF communca-
tons on "Superhcatcd Steam,'I would like you
to publish a few facts FOR the benefit and instruc-
ton Of Fire Marshal McSpedon. The usual pres
sure on house heating boilers Is from ten to If
teen pounds per square inch, and the temperature
of steam at fifteen pounds pressure is 1868 degrees
Fahrenheit. Iron, to burn wood by coming in con-
tact with it, must be heated above six hundred
degrees Fahrenheit. That explodes McSpedons
theory OF the pipes becoming red hot from
the heat Of steam Here is case that
will show that wood will not burn
readily by contact with steam pipes or boilers.

against the boiler above the water line, and have

knowledge and on the top OF the steam chimney OF

ago. and 1t Is not burned yet. The fires of the
above boiler are banked every night and, strange
to say, the pipes never have been red hot. The
following figures will show the result Of an ex-

American Institute building, about one
year ago:-Pressure OF steam IN boiler.

superheater reduced to fifteen pounds reduced the
temperature to 25s degrees Fahrenheit, only forty
tive degrees hotter than steam IN the boiler at If
teen pounds. The superheater used in the above
experiment placed directly on top of the
boiler the heat from the fire passing through tubes
in it. And IL Norman Wizard or McSpedon will ex-
plain how they get such high temperature with
banked fires will run my boat with banked fires
all the time, and, TO compensate them for the use
OF their discovery will give the value OF the dill.

McSpetlOM as an Alarmist.

BALIIaORE, Jan. - 1878.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Ihave been much interested in the origin of the
fire which consumed Barnums Museum. The
statement published by the Fire Marshal Is so
alarming to all occupying buildings warmed by
steam las 1 do) that, IL true, all such heating
apparatus should be thrown aside. I could not
exactly understand the theory OF the Fire Marshal
and, indeed, 1t was disputed by those who assumed
TO be experts In subsequent number OF your
paper; but in to-days issue find 1t is sustained
by Mr. Wizard, and an explanation OF the
rationale OF the dangerous operation OF steam
is made and though, no doubt, quite clear to those
familiar with the subject, is not quite clear to my
mind, and therefore venture query TO clear up
the doubtful point.
After describing the operation OF the boiler and
pipes when In use, Mr. Ward then supposes the fire
'put out altogether, y and says "the heat stored
up in the red-hot brick Of the surrounding walls
would quickly perform that junction and make the
steam as hot as the temperature OF incandes-
cence" Now, II this be SO. why will not the same
cheat stored up in the red-hot brick" so long IL
is at this high temperature, perform the further
function Of cooperating the water in the lower
pipes, and thus keep up the safe circulation within
the pipes In the same manner as with fire upon
the CRATE INQUIRER.
