steam boilers, by which the loss of
much valuable life and property is en-
tailed, it becomes a pertinent question
and one in which the welfare of the
public at large is involved-to ask,
Who are the parties responsible for
these calamities Not the miner who
digs the ore, not the smelter who makes
the iron, not the rolling mill that turns
the bloom into the sheet, not the boiler
maker who does his best to give good
work, but to the careless or incompe-
tent fireman, to the needless engineer,
and largely to the peculiar character
of the water by which the steam is
made, in nine cases out of ten are due
the heartrending accidents, by water
or land, through boiler explosions. The
internal action of water within boiler,
in the operation of being converted into
steam, is not studied intelligently by
those who should be the most
interested. James Watt learned the
action of the piston by watching his
mothers teakettle cover. If our en-
gineers and steam boiler owners we've
to study the inside of their mothers
teakettle more they would see con-
stantly accommodating deposit there
gathered, caused by the boiling water
precipitating its lime, or other ingre-
dients, till frequently the very spout
of the kettle becomes closed. In a
greater degree the same action takes
place in the steam boiler, and these
deposits are frequently permitted to
accumulate till an internal coating
rests upon the fire surfaces. sometimes
an inch IN thickness. The fine pipes
leading to the steam and water gauges
become clogged, and they prove no
criterion as to either the steam pres
sure or quantity of water in the boiler,
and when everything appears to be safe
the fatal explosion takes place and
no one is claimed to be responsible.
With these thoughts in his mind q
representative of this paper Wednes-
day succeeded in obtaining an inter
view with Mr.. J. G. Winn of this city,
who has made the internal economy Of
steam boilers close study for the
past ten years The gentleman was
found full of business engagements,
relating to his boiler cleansing COM
pound, at his office, 401 Home Insur-
ance Building, but willingly accorded
the scribe an interview His expert
ence, as related, since 1867, in follow
ing out the cause and cure for boiler
explosions, would form interesting
reading, but suffice it to say, that after
many sleepless nights spent in think
ing and days in experimenting, he at
last succeeded in producing liquid
compound that would dissolve the
hardest incrustation created by the
action of water while being gener-
ated into steam. This valuable dis
covery he at once placed upon the
markets, and in the face of much in
credulity on the part of boiler owners,
he at last succeededin convincing them
of the value and utility of his COM
pound. Since then it has advertised
itself as being the best for the pur-
pose ever yet discovered. Thus, by
proper care and attention, all danger
can be obyiated, and the largest boil
ers be made as secure as the water
tank on a cook stove The great secret
of safety lies in the removing OF this
limey deposit from the internal sur
face of the boiler, and keeping it from
accommodating. This can be effectuallv
accomplished by using Wins Vege-
table Boiler Compound, which re-
moves all scales in boilers of whatever
nature, and prevents their accumula-
ton.
The man is criminally responsible
for the loss of life or property who re-
fuses to provide security for his en-
ployes by keeping his boilers in order.
He might as well undertake to run his
machinery without oil, as his boilers
without cleansing. II does not answer
