"Ex-ENoINEER" CRITICIZED.

To THE EDITOR OF rHK HERALD:-
The article in tho HERALD of yesterday the ex-
poison OF the tugboat Workman, signed EEK Engineer
opportuno and very properly calls attention to tho
general Effectiveness OF OF the most important
appondages of steam boers-vz, safety valves, from
want of proper and constant attention from the
engineers having them in charge
s'Ex- Engineer should also have called attention to
the detective style OF steam gauges in common
The clock-fa gauge that holds universal sway
nearly all steam generators depends upon the reliability
OF the spring springs TO denote the strain upon the
boiler. This is dangerous dependence, and many ex
blossoms can be traced directly TO tho defective
spring gauges II might be truthfully asserted
that every person above tho ago OF ten years is
OF the unreablty OF any spring that is constantly
subjected to severe strain. Some bctter method
ought to be adopted for measuring the pressure
steam bolcrs Tho engineer in charge OF the watch
keeps his eye almost constantly upon his gauge there
fore that instrument should be OF the most reliable
description possible, and that dependence DO
safely placed upon tho mercurial column only. No
other gauge should DO allowed TO be used.
The mercuria column is the standard by which all
spring gauges tested, and by which they arc
watched. Then why not superscdc the Drescn: unre-
liable spring gauge Of with tho mercury COL
umn gauge, wherein the pressure upon tho boiler Is
by the direct weight Of column OF mercury
and be safe in this particular at least
