- INsPEcrIoN OF BOILERs

To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir. noticed in the papers, some
time since. that Council had appointed
a committee 10 frame a law governing
building construction, which had a
clause. regarding high pressure steam
boilers. and the inspection of the same.
Now this section read: No high
pressure boiler can be set in the city
without a permit, and no such boiler
can De set within any building, used Tor
public purposes. or in any hotel or other
building without a special permit and
TO be subject to an annual Inspection.
This Will be a step to the good, but
it is inadequate TO handle the question
Of public safety.
Take for instance. the annual in
speco.on. How many boilers are ruined
I'm a few hours. not 10 mention weeks,
where incompetent men are in charge,
and where numerous changes in en-
pl0yes could be made without the knOwl-
edge Of the inspector, regardless Of their
ability
In the boiler explosion at Woburn,
Mass. five lives We're lost, with prop
erty to the amount Of $4,000 An in
vestigat:on Of this disaster by the Hart
ford Insurance Company, elected the
following: That the head men were
able. capable men, and were at home
when the trouble occurred. Boilers
Nos g and had been inspected the day
before by one of the Hartford inspectors,
and pronounced perfectly safe for eighty
ID 1--we. ~
the night men to raise steam in those
boilers, and connecting them with the
main steam line. to which boilers Nos.
1 and We're already connected, with
steam on them II was found that the
night men were unable to operate the
feed. and from insufficient knowledge
of what TO do, blew up boiler No. +.
Take the explosion at Denver, Col,
August 18th where twenty-five lives
were lost, with property to the amount
of $4,000. Not only was the engineer
censured, but the city boiler inspector
also, for negligence.
What IS wanted is an ordinance COM
pelling engineers 10 pass a fitting exam
ination. and any negligence or i'll be-
haviCr cause for having his license
revoked. and allowing only licensed men
TO operate boilers. Make them renew
their license yearly. which will be a
source Of revenue to reimburse the in
specJor, and have each and every boiler
inspected aJ least every three months.
The United States inspection service
stands as an example, and would have
been revoked Ions ago had it not gained
the end aimed at.
The writer can remember when explo-
si0ns on the water We're just as numer-
GUS as on land, while at present they
are an exception.
Here is the record for several months
in 1895: January, 20; February. As:
March q; April. Is: May. %: June. %:
July, p; August. %. making a total of
215 explosions En- eight months in the
United States. Had they been under
supervision Of licensed men. and of a
capable inspector, there would not have
been fifteen, much less 215.
The committee should give this oues-
tion some serious thought if they con-
template taking supervision of boilers.
and frame such an ordinance as will
gain the object aimed at.

Loved Too Late.

Not long ago met young lady in
poverty whom had previously known
in wealth, and this was, in substance,
the story she told me: Father died
suddenly in Washington, and the pro-
fessional skill through which he had
coined money for us died with him. I
am not weeping because we are poor.
l am broken-hearted because none of
US saw that be was dying. Was it
not pitiful that he should think it best
not to tell any of us that he was sick?
And l, his petted daughter, though
knew he was taking opium to soothe
his great pair, was SO absorbed by my
lovers, my games and my dresses, that
[ just hoped it would all come right.
If l could only remember that even
once had pitied his suffering or felt
anxious about his life, 1 might bear his
loss betterp'
The story is common enough. Many
father, year after year, goes in and out
of his home carrying the burden and
doing the labor of life, while those
whom he tenderly loves hold with but
careless hands all of honor and gold
he wins by toll and pain. Then some
day his head and hands can work no
more! And the hearts that have not
learned the great lesson of unselfish
