of i've people, all of whom slept in the
extension, which was crushed in. All

most badly injured were taken to the
hospitals, where they could receive
more complete treatment.

An English naval engineer has invented
a simple and ingenious system for adding
10 the effectiveness and life Of steam boil
ers by doing away with the severe strain
which follows the first starting Of tho fur
naces The remedy consists Of an arrange.
ment whereby the present furnace fronts
are substituted by steel heating chambers
Of the same strength ms the boiler. These
chambers, which do not in any way inter.
fcro with the great furnace, are, at start
ing, filled with water from the bottom Of
rho boiler or from any other point In the
boiler where there " no circulation.
A small fire d lighted in the furnace at
first, which heats up the water in the
chambers, and by degrees the remainder OF
the water In tine boiler becomes heated,
and the shell Is also gradually warmed, a
uniform temperature being thus obtained.
AZ soon as tho temperature has become
uniform the fires are made up and steam IN
raised to the working pressure. The
primary work Of the heaters having been
accomplished, they are now used as feed
water heaters The feed water, instead OF
going into the boiler direct, Is diverted into
the heaters and is brought TO tempera.
