Precautions Which WIN Prevens Exple.
sions--The Construction of Boiler.

There are many things said the man.
ager of successful boiler-mnlSing company
about q perfect steam boiler which the
average person does not know. OF course
it is not expected that he should. A boiler
to be perfect has to be simple in construc-
ton, and it should have constant and
thorough circulation of water so as to main
tain oil parts at one temperature. 1t should
be provided with mud-drum to receive all
impurities deposited from the water, in
place removed from the action of the fire.
1t should be supplied with combustion
chamber SO arranged that the combustion
OF the gases commenced in the furnace may
be completed before they escape to the
chimney. All parts should be readily
accessible for cleaning and repairs, because
safety and economy depend upon it. The
heating surface should be arranged as nearly
as possible at right angles to the currents of
heated gases and SO break up the currents
as to extract the entire available heat there.

surface for the disengagement of the steam
from the water to prevent foaming.

no joints exposed TO the direct action of the
fire. There ought to be n great excess of
strength over any regular strain. The water
space should be divided into sections so
TINT If any section gave out no general ex-
plosion could occur and the destructive
effects would be confined to the simple
escape Of the contents. 1t should be pro-
yided with the very best gauges, safety
valves and other fixtures.
According to good authority, explosions
are the effect of weakening of the iron by
strains due to unequal expansion caused by
excessive heating of different portions of
the boiler. Frequently they are caused by
corrosion from long use or improper setting.
II steam boilers are properly proportioned
and constructed, they will, when new, be

Thousands Of Men are Employed ali

II is profitable business, however, and
there are several well-known New Workers
who have realized upward of fifty thousand
dollars from IL within half decade. They
started with pygmy establishments in some
out-of-the-way place along the river front;
now their large possessions are unsuitable
for their great trade.
There are about five thousand lnen EN-.
ployed in the hundred or so factories OF
this city. These men are divided into
squads, and either cart, pile, feed the split
ting or saving machine or bundle for mar
ket. They receive from $40 to $3 per
day. The major portion of the wood now
being retailed is brought from Southern
cities in sailing vessels. Virginia sends the
best quality and largest quantity But littls
come from Western cities. There are about
500 cords of wood used for lighting fires In
this city each day. Several prominent
wood men figure that there is 100 per cent.
profit in the crude cord wood, 200 per cent
in the resawn and split and 300 per cent.
in the bundle. Besides this, the corner
grocer makes fully 100 per cent. Of gain

wood he pays one cent per bunch, and he
retails it, to those who cannot afford to pur-
chase whole cord, at two cents per bunch

woodmen think kindling will be twice as
dear in few years. They expect the
Southern crop will be exhausted, and they

boundless gossip and innuendo suited to their own

never figured In the courts. At this very writing,
in this city, 1t is likely enough that blameless char
acters are being talked into nfamy over back fences
or at area DOORS while the unsuspecting master OF
mistress sits calmly In the parlor When
to mere avidity for gossip is added the
motive OF revenge for fancied injury, 1t does not
take long in vulgar minds to convert inference oI
surmlse into the guise of absolute knowledge, and
perjury is easily superadded. Mistaken identity is
