How the People Gathered

The immediate residents walked up the
hill, buggies and teams were there by the
score, but the rapid transit lines were re-
sponsible for the greatest number of people.
The Duquesne line runs within Is minutes
walk of the hill, and the people knew it.
The popularity of this newly found resort was
illustrated by the manner in which the peo-
pie packed themselves into the cars. The
average citizen would generally expect some
especial benefit to follow three-quarters
of an hours journey in car in which were
some 20 other mortals, similarly bent,
cooped up like sheep in a pen, not to
say anything of having ones toes walked
over baby placed on ones shoulder by a
too doting mother, to enable it to gaze out
at nothing, or to suffer the agony of sitting
beside the best girl of young man
who tried to exchange ideas with her from
the neighborhood of the bell cords, but the
desire to get mouthful of fresh air and
look at the clouds from that hilltop was SO
great that the average citizen willingly un-
derwent these discomforts to attain them.
Both Concerts Great Successes.
Both of the Great Western Band concerts
yesterday passed off excellently. Every
body liked the idea, and wants it executed
to its fullest extent The only draw
back to the Highland hill site
is its narrow area and limited
seating accommodation. The latter will be
increased, it is said. So, also, will be the
police surveillance which, although not
necessary yesterday, may become so in the
future.
A young tough named William Mulligan
was charged with insulting several ladies',
and he was promptly locked up in the Nine
teenth ward station. To convey the passen-
gers home again the Duquesne people had a
long line of cars ready at $50 o'clock, but
they were not sufficient for the throng that
besieged them all at once. Credit must be
given the conductors for their touting ability.
There was no opposition to speak OF, of
course, but they never could even surmise
when they had car full. The DISPATCH
reporter counted 50 people in one car, and
then the rope-puller was calling out in
stentorian tones: "Plenty of room inside;
push up little farther; plenty Of
room-more when we get down piece"
and the fun was that many people believed
him,

Both Trades Councils VIII Unite in the

The regular meeting of the Central Trades

ans, secretary of the Beaver Valley Trades
Council, was present and extended an invi-
tation to the Pittsburg Council to unite with
the Beaver Valley body in holding their an

Owing, however, to the fact that the Pitts
burg Council already has a committee ar
ranging for the celebration of Labor Day in
Pittsburg, the invitation had to be declined.
A committee from the Building Trades

onstration was present and arranged for a

AN OLD CLAIM BONRE OUT.

Experiments Showing That Cold Water Can
BePumped Into a Red Hot Boiler With
out Serious Results-Predicted in The
Dispatch Years Ago.
About seven years ago L. G. Burwell, who
had then been connected with the Hartford
Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance
Company for. three years, and who is still
identified as agent for the same concern,
contributed several articles to THE DIS
PATCH on the subject of steam and its use.
They Great ed widespread interest. In one
of his articles Mr.. Burwell contended, con-
trary to all 'precedents at that time, that
there was no danger of explosion from sup
plying red-hot boiler with cold water
A Mr.. Williams, of Sharpsburg, boiler
expert, challenged Mr. Burwell to stand by
a boiler with red hot tubes while cold water
was pumped into the boiler. Williams at
first offered to furnish the boiler if the chal-
lenge was accepted Burwell did accept,
and Williams backed out.
Now comes that able, experienced and
universally respected Eody, the Manchester
(England) Steam Users Association, and,
as the result of series of carefully con-
Quoted experiments, fully sustain the posi-
IlOu dSSuI1eQ Dy MI. bulWel Ill every par
ticular. Each crown was fitted with three
fusible gauges, one being disk of zinc six
inches in diameter, secured with three set
screws, and the other two being plain plugs
three-quarters of an inch ir diameter, one
of tin, the other of lead. In addition lead
strip about one and one-half inches wide
and one-si1teenth inch thick was bound
across the middle of each belt of plating so
as to afford an indication of the extent to
which the overheating extended longitu-
dinally along the crown of each tube. The
fires were worked up to a brisk condition,
the safety valves were loaded to 25 pounds,
but with the water level with the crowns.
the pressure rose to 80 pounds, both valves
blowing freely.
The first sign of overheating was at the
end of is minutes when the tin plug gave
way, and in two and one-half minutes more
the zinc disk on the other furnace melted,
the water level at this time being three and
five-eighths inches below the crown of the
tubes. AT this moment the feed water was
showered on the crown through pipe laid
directly over it. No increase of steam pres
sure was noted; on the contrary, it steadily
declined, proving that, under the usual con-
ditions of working, there is no sudden rise
of pressure due to the entrance of water In
an overheated boiler that is short of water.
