Why poe.n'. the Boiler sur..Y

What "a tremendous force is struggling
TO tear boiler to atoms Take, for ex-
ample, horizontal tubular boiler of
ordinary proportions, so inches in di-
ameter by 10 feet long, containing
eighty three inch tubes. Such boiler
has surface area Of 40, 7l6 square
inches ... .r
Suppose this boiler is operated with
working pressure Of 100 pounds per
square inch, which is not at all uncom.
mon The boiler therefore sustains TO-
tai pressure Of 4,07l 800 pounds, or
more than 2, 035 tons
DO We realize what this means? The
boiler has resting upon it the equivalent
of II column Of granite 10 feet square
and 25I.5 feet high, or, to put il another
way the boiler is holding up the equiv
alcnt weight Of 22,37l persons, each
weighing 1872 pounds
| Tho best authorities agree that the
ordinary draft horse, working eight
hours day, exerts All average force
during that timo Of 100 pounds
Now, this force aotirfn>to disrupt the
boiler longitudinally is 226, $40 pounds,
40 that to produce an equivalent stress
it wonld be necessary TO hitch up to the
ends Of tho boiler two teams of 1855
horses ALTOGETHER. Strand MAsazir

Tough Gang of Tramps Murder
One of Their Crowd.
Place Him On the Railroad
Track at Winfield
TO DESTROY EVIDENCE
Equal Suffragists In Session at
PaOla.
Two Days Old Infant Abandoned
at LeavenwOrth.

Winfield, Oct. ga bum, whose
identity is not known and probably
never will be, was murdered by his pals
Thursday night at their camp on the
west side of the Walnut river, about
$50 yards south of the Southern Kansas
railroad After the crime had been
committed the body, while still alive,
bridge and left with the intention evil
IDENTIFY of destroying evidence of their
guilt.
The discovery was made a little be-
fore o'clock The switch engine was
coming in from the rock crusher with
a train of cars, the engine in front,
running backwards. Effort was made
to check the train but it was impossible
in SO short a time. The foot board struck
the man and knocked him clear of the
rail but it caught in his clothes and
would have dragged him under the
wheels had not the train stopped when
it did. He was dragged and bumped
along on the ties for about fifteen feet
and when the train was stopped the
body was lying across the rail between
the engine and forward car.
The body was lying on its face and
the officers turned the body over to see
if he was known. He was alive then
died.
He was a man probably so years old
with hair rather gray and a growth of
beard on his face several days old, the
probably five feet, five to seven inches
high.
A tramp's camp was in the vicinity.
The officers located the fire at their
camp and upon their arrivel found one
man lying down apparently in an I'M
conscious drunken stupOr. Near the
fire were evidences of a struggle and
two car coupling pins, both bloody.
They searched the ground from the fire
to the bridge and found pools of blood
in two places where they had probably
put the body down to rest. The man
found at the fire was locked up and in
searching near the scene of the conflict
another one of the gang was found and
also locked up. This morning two more
suspicious characters were arrested but
afterwards turned loose.
Bird Thomas identified the dead man
this morning as one of three who char
tered his hack Tuesday night to take
in the town and the dead man paid the
bills. At that time he had a pocket
book containing some silver and a roll
of bills. When the body was searched
two dollars in silver were found.

cHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLY.
Selects a New Secretary-Date of
1899 Meeting.

Ottawa, Oct 22-Important business
was transacted at the recent meeting
of the board of managers. The resig-
nation of Judge Benson presented
month ago was accepted and Mr.. John
z. Clark was appointed in his place.
This resignation was not made through
any indifference to the interests of the
assembly but solely for personal reasons.
Prof. H. V. Richards, of Chicago, son
Of DR.. Richards who lectured here in
the early days of the assembly on scien-
tific subjects, submitted an offer for
two lectures on "The Wonders of the
Earth and Sky illustrated, which the
secretary was directed to accept.
The prospect is excellent for an ex-
ceedingly interesting program through
out and with the contemplated exten-
sion of the park by the removal of the
barns and buildings recently taken by
the city and Encouragement of the
grounds. Forest park will be unusually
attractive. The board will proceed now
actively to complete the program for
'99. The dates fixed are July 17-S inclu-
SiVe.

opinion will be shown in the courts of
other states, and will be found in the
supreme court of the Z. s., which only

even when best trained to ascertain the
principles OF truth and justice.
