Still ano her tbs cory is based on the
fact that water, if deprived of its air

of the water is sufficient to change it

A BOILER EXPLOSION
SCIENTIFIC ATTENTION BE-
SLOWED ON 4 RECENT CASE.
RAILWAY HORROR RECALLED
Causes That May Have Produced the
Wreck of Northwestern Locomo-
tive in the Madison Roundhouse-
Theoretical Phase of the Acct

That admirable scientific publication
emanating from the state university,
the Wisconsin Engineer, in its last
quarterly issue, devotes some technical
attention to the explosion OF the boiler

western roundh0use at Madison Jan.
"a, by which Engineers Shelper and
Young and Foreman Beck were killed
and various other persons injured.
The Engineer says that in many cases
it seems more difficult to trace the
cause of a locomotive boiler explosion
than that OF a stationary boiler, but
in this case point of weakness could
he loCa,ed where the first rupture
probably occurred, and though the in
itial force which produced this rupture
may be in doubt, it appears that the
explosion was one OF those accidents
which it is impossible to guard
against. The boiler had been in use
about eighteen years, but it had had
the best of care and had recently been
inspected and found as safe as a
boiler inspection can determine safety.
A careful examination of the wreck
was made and as shown in the cut, the
fire box end was not damaged but the
upper middle portion of the shell was
blown away and lay about five hum
.dred feet to the rear of the main
portion. There was no evidence of
low water as shown by burned or

however, and stayed below talking to

collapsed fues and the interior ap-
peared practically free from scale.
Continuing the Engineer says that it
has been conclusively demonstrated
that sudden release of steam may
explode a boiler but that this release
must be greater than can generally be
made by opening a throttle or safety
valve, but that the opening of a valve
or the starting OF a crack may cause
such a rush OF steam and water to
that point as to tear out the sheet and
thus form an opening of sufficient
size to allow the whole mass of water,
which remains as water only on ac-
count of the pressure, to change in
stantly to steam and explode the
boiler with great violence. If the in
itial opening occurs below the water
line there is no opportunity for this
projectile action Of the water to take
place, the diminution of pressure is
more gradual, and violent explosion
never occurs under this condition. In
the case of this locomotive tie force
Of the explosion was lateral and up

portion found to the rear of the wreck
it appears that the initial rupture was
On the upper T art Of the shell, at the
examination of the plates which had
belonged to this portion showed
marked evidence of growing along the
seams. This growing occurs at the
seam because in the bending back
ward and forward of the plate it is
there that the strain is concentrated
causing the metal to become crystal
lied and brittle, and it's pores to open,
allowing the entrance of moisture
which oxydizes the metal and produces
a furrow or groove. This bending
action is of course very minute if
measured in inches, but it is in con-
tinual operation, due to change of tenn
perature, jar and stress on the ma
chine The seam above referred to
was beyond doubt the initial line of
rupture, and it may have been that this
line was gradually growing weaker
until the last firing of the boiler pro-
duced such a stress that the metal
gave way along this line, when the
rush of steam and water to this open
ing enlarged it sufficiently to relieve
the pressure and allow the whole mass
of water to change instantly into
steam with force estimated to be
equal, 10 the explosion OF one-fortfeth

was more than provoked that Dawson,

you know you need a suit" said
Mrs. Dawson. why not order it
now and save S10?"
Dawson was certain the suits
would be cheap next week, and his
| wife refused to move on and dragged
the helpless man into the store The
polite clerk assured them that it was
the bargain Of the century, and that
this week was positively the last.
With mental protests, but with out
ward calm, Dawson, like clay in the
hands of the potter allowed himself
to be measured. Then he left de-
post. He called in four days and
took the suit away.
There" exclaimed Mrs. Dawson, in
triumph, when her husband appeared
arrayed in his new suit, you never
had a better fit nor a more becoming
pattern. Just think how much money
your wife saved for you by being on
the lookout for a bargain!"
Mr.. Dawson preserved dignified
silence and waited patiently for his
better-half to get her hat on straight
preparatory to accompanying him to
the city.
Mrs. Dawson awaited with i'm
patience the passing of the store
where she had saved money for her
husband. She wanted to call his at
tention to the fact again that he might
remain properly thankful.
With all the faith of a woman Mrs
Dawson was convinced that the sales
man was telling the truth when he

She looked for the window, and her
faith was rewarded. 1t had been the
