An APPEAL reporter visited the scene

THE IDEAL BOILER.

An Invention That Must Revolutionize
the Cost of Motor-Power.
An invention is announced which, II
the accounts given of it are free from
any very gross exaggeration, must
work revolution in the applicability
and in the cost of mechanical motor
power. The inventor AYERS that he can
reduce the ordinary demand for boiler
space by no less than Sc per cent!
The method proposed is the substitution
of small copper boiler for the large
iron boilers now in use. A cylinder OF
copper. of fifteen inches in diameter
and twenty inches long, has a hemi-
spherical end, in which are placed
loose pieces of broken copper. At the
opposite end of the vessel two pipes are
introduced-one to lead in the water,
and the other to lead out the steam.
Through the first pipe the water is
forced so as to spread in fine spray
over the broken copper, which, it is
said, Immediately converts it into
steam.
The chief consideration which would
lead any practical man to make inquiry
into the inventors claims is this: the
conductivity of copper is usually high,
being more than six times that OF iron.
If it be possible-which we are not in a
position to deny-to make more etfi-
cient use of this property of the metal
than has hitherto been done. areduction
of bulk might no doubt be effected. On
the other hand, no such difference has
been usually attributed to the calorific
power of copper and of iron tubes in
the boiler of the locomotive; and, while
copper kettles and saucepans are the
pride of the housekeeper, we should be
disposed to say that water in tin
kettle boils faster than in a copper one
These, however, are mere reflections on
the first account of the matter. leading
to the conclusion that the claim made
is neither ipso facto absurd, nor, ON the

distance beyond stuck in snow bank.
The driver and horse were found by some
farmers and taken home. The extent Of
heinjuries were not known until Sunday,
when Dr. Masterson, of Wateriown, was
called upon. Though badly bruised, no
injuries of really serious nature were
discovered.

other hand, extremely probable An
other consideration is, that if copper
can thus drive iron from the field, 10
may in its turn be dispossvssed by
silver. Taking the heat-conducting
power Of silver at 1000, that of copper
is 1856, and that of iron 119. lead being
as low as IS. If skiold efficiency ID
thus attributable to the thermic COM
ductivity of copper, allowing the engI
neer to reduce the area of the coppea
boiler (aided by that of the loose
pieces of copper to sixth OF
that of an iron boiler, by the use o3
silver instead of copper, the gain may
become ninefold instead of skiold. II
is not, however. by speculation
but by exhaustive exr reriment that the
new claim is to be tested. An enor'
nous stimulus would be given to thu
mechanical use of steam as motor
power, if the most cumbrous part OF
the machinery could be reduced in any
thing like the above-indicated ratio,
The inventor is said to claim an econ
omy of So per cent. in fuel. The mar
gin between the theoretic power to be
obtained from the combustion of a
given weight of carbon and the eff
cheney of even the best compound en-
gines is such as to allow of a much
greater gain to the consumer than 90
per cent. But the gain in the cost, size
and weight of the boilers, could it be
established, would be of far more inn
portance than the economy per horse
power of the force produced. The ap-
plication of steam-power to locomotion
is now limited by the size and weight
of the boiler. Efforts so to reduce this
part of the machinery as to render the
cost of it's carriage a less absorbing
item in the whole cost OF transport of
freight or passengers have been con-
stant for half century. But advance
has been made, not in the way OF di-
minishing the weight and power Of the
machine, but of increasing the volume
and weight of the load. Ii the account
we have quoted be only half true, we
may expect the evolution of a swarm
of steam tricycles. For those machines
silver boiler heated by petroleum may
be suggested; or, rather, cylinder OF

RUSSIAN WEDDINGS.

Eow the Betrothed Pair Must Act on the
Day of Their Marriage.
The guests are far more numerous at
Russian than at an English wedding.
They are invited to be assistants al
the wedding. The witness. who is
generally the grandest of the ''conneo-
tions' of the family, is the most inn
portant person. He pays the priests
fees Then come the ladies of honor
and the bridesmen. The latter have ia
purchase sweetmeats for the brides
maids. The "boyarin," who carried
the sacred picture of Christ in silva
and gilt, is generally little boy
When the party arrives at the church,
it is his duty to hand the two pictures
to the reader" who places them be-
hind the royal gates or leaning
against the altar screen.
The old nurse, or housekeeper, super
intends the carrying of the dowry
from the house of the bride to that OF
her future husband, and arranges
every thing for the use Of the bride
There is no law as to the number OF
dresses are not all alike. On the eve
of the wedding-day sometimes fare
well girls party is given. No gentle
man attends this. All those present
must be from the unmarried. They
sing choruses, chase each other IN the
garden and romp to their hearts con-
tent. They devour any amount of tea,
ice cream. lemonade and sweetmeats.
After supper they say farewell and
leave the intended bride very exhausted
in view of the ceremonies of the fol-
lowing day.
The old custom is for the betrothed
pair to fast (eat nothing) on the day OF
their marriage until the ceremony,
which, in the family of noble. always
takes place in the evening. This makes
the day most tiresome to a girl. The
bride distributes her cast-off girlish
toys, ribbons and jewelry to her COM
panions. These things are called
..maiden beauty" The peasant girls
cut up and divide among their COM
panions, on their wedding-day, the
long ribbons which are fastened at the
end of the plait of hair which hangs
down the back. These peasants. inn
mediately after their marriage, have
the hair braided in two plaits, and
wound round the head, then covered
with a sort of tight cap tied behind, or
with a cotton or silk handkerchief.
When at Pargola, in Finland, often
saw the unmarried girls trooping along
in the eventide, hand in hand. singing
their weird melodies, and friends told
me to notice the difference in the styhe
of the hair of the unmarried and the
married. The married women have ia
addition, under the invaria bic hand
kerchief, little piece of linen, lappa
about the size of florin, hanging ovet
the center of the forehead. This is q
more evident proof of marriage than
wearing wedding ring. When the
women begin to braid up the hair they
sing part of wedding song-"Ah! my
braid. my braid of maiden hair; Aha
soon shall it be divided in two"-Cds-
