pressure OF 60 pounds. This resultedn in the collapse
OF q nue or tube. This boiler had been tested by
hydrostatic pressure at lS2 pounds The nature OF
the experiment was test OF the theory OF
sudden evaporation OF steam, by heated
plates and low water, the result showing that
by rupture. The other boiler was known as a
lobster back boiler, used In the Christina, North
River boat, about eight years ago, and weighed
pounds, the seam, which had been repaired by
s.sot patch,n was ruptured on the upper side OF
the shell. The experiment demonstrated that by
gradual pressure there would be rupture at the
weakest point, and as In the former experiment
the boiler would be saved from explosion l oy the
expressed by those who went out TO see display
of "nreworksn that there was no ascension OF
fragments OF the large boiler; but the Commission
