NJ. Birnaum has found that when
the feedwater Of boil r is heated by
the injection of steam, fatty matters
are occasionally carried into the
boiler, which form insoluble soapy
matters with the lime salts present in
the water. These soaps form a de-
posit which is not wetted by water,
and this may lead to the destruction
of the boiler, inasmuch as the part
of the boiler, under the incrustation,
becomes more heated than other
parts, and is apt to occasion rupture.
Thus, in one instance, boiler be-
came leaky about two months after
working had commenced, apparently
from cause like that indicated, the
lncrusted boiler plates getting heated
and being bellied ont by the steam
pressure. When the boiler cooled,
the metal sought to right itself, and
thereby force was developed suf-
hcient to tear the rivet holes. In the
boiler there was found, besides pa
per-thick coating of the usual deposit
over the whole surface that was under
water, layer of pulverulent matter
on the foremost half of the boiler
bottom, which was a little inclined
toward the fireplace. This powder
was found very difficult to wet with
water. Analysis showed that the in
crustation contained a soap not
soluble in water. There was at least
SIX per cent. Of fatty acid present in
the form Of an insoluble soap, and
shis fatty acid was shown by analysis
70 have been neutralized by certain
quantity Of lime or magnesia.
