Why Doesn't the Boiler Burst.

What Q tremendous force is struggling to tear a boiler to atomsl Take, for ex- ample, Q horizontal tubular boiler oi ordinary proportions, 60 inches in di- ameter by Is feet long, containing eighty-three l inch tubes. Such boiler has a surface area of 40, 716 square inches.
 Suppose this boiler is operated with a working pressure of 100 pounds per square inch. which is not at all uncom- mon. The boiler therefore sustains a to- tai pressure of 4,071. .600 pounds. or more than 3, 035 tons.
 Do we realize what this means? The boiler has resting upon it the equivalent of a column of granite 10 feet square and 254.5 feet high, or, to put it another way, the boiler Is holding up the equiv alent weight Of 22,S71 persons, each weighing Is2 pounds.
 The best authorities agree that the ordinary draft horse, working eight hours a day, exerts an average force during that time of 120 pounds.
 Now, this force acting to disrupt the boiler longitudinally is 226, 200 pounds, go that to produce an equivalent stress it would be necessary to hitch up to the ends of the boiler two teams of ], 1885 horses altogether. Strand Magazine.

The Ontario Election.

II \ election is on in Canada ami
y the Canadian press shows an
aptitude for mud-slinging that
is nowhere surpassed on this side Of the
boundary line. We infer from the Ca
madam press that there is nothing on
earth 50 corrupt as Canadian politics
and that the blacklist scnunarels Yet
unhung are trying To break into the
Ontario parliament. The election IF
members for the provincial legislature
in Ontario will take place on March !,
and the fight Is Il hot one. For the last
tWenty-six years the province of on
tario has been in the possession of thu
liberals, every effort TO dislodge them
having proved a dismal failure Just
after the liberals secured control of on
tario the party succeeded in obtaining
power in the dominion government but
lost it again within five years. From
1878 To 1896 the conservatives held un-
disputed possession of dominion affairs.
Then they We're Overwhelmingly defeat

\ Mr.. Mason INDUCED yesterday
His assertion was that the administra-

tial facts relating to the Maine disaster.
The public will not believe IL; yet the
fact remains that the navy department
might even be warranted in keeping TO
itself some of the facts about the explo-
sion of the Maine: il would have war
rant for this course because senate and
house have their share of foolish
declaimers like Mr.. Mason who would
lose no time in distorting the Informal
ton or in retailing items of news that
are part OF a story not yet completed.
MIR Mason's zeal for Cuba Is We'll
enough in its way. His stormy aceusa-
tions against the administration. how
ever, do not make him out truer
friend of Cuba than thousands Of his
countrymen: the difference is that, in
yielding the case to the navy depart
ment, these people display more sense
and less ambition to try the devices of
the demagogue.
The public is impatient to know the
cause of the explosion, and that spirit
is the most natural thing in the world

Kansas Pacific the offer was to pay 10
the government the principal of the

but leaves unpaid about the same

assertion of those who are acquainted
with the condition of the Kansas Pa

The Turning Tide.

7 is Senator Chambers opinion that
the republicans will go to defeat in
the elections of next November This
opinion certainly seems To be war
ranted by tie conditions that now pre-
vail; il the republicans do lose the
house OF representatives ard in several
states The legislature that are TO elect
senators. it is safe to say that Senator
Chandler will not be among the mourn
ers In everything except outward
forms. Mr.. Chandler arrived some time
ago at the place popularity known as
the parting Of the Ways; essentially he
i not a republican.
The hope of success for silver has
been greatly strengthened since con-
grt IS began the business of the session.
The republicans. through Secretary
Gage, have a plan: the house republic
can majority is afraid TO commit itself
to that plan. Mr. Gage is an indus
trious eoldbug promoter; he talks sin
gle standard diligently. But chiefly Mr..
Gage is prandial performer. He Is
constantly billed for banquet perform
aEces. He unfolds the beauties of his
scheme, nine times out of ten. in the
presence Of dress-sui auditors who
assent anyhow ana whose applause Is
made the more vociferous by wine.
Since he became secretary Banker
Gage has addressed more quart bottles
than amy treasury officer OF modern
times What has that To do with per
suading congress? All the banquet
oratory in the world won't tighten the
task Of persuading Mr.. Reeds majority
to go an inch farther than Mr.. Reed is
disposed to let it go; and for political
policys sake Mr. Reed isn't inclined to
lei il go very far
This condition of affairs prompts
Senator Chandler To suspect that II

November. This suspicion must have
been greatly strengthened by the re-
cent popular uprising of the silver
forces all over the country in favor Of
Il fusion of forces. Six months ago

Quay May Try IL.

gave a dinner at which his po-
litical fortunes We're discussed

the republican members Of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation in congress. The repub-
lican situation in Mr.. Quays state
alarms him 1t is admitted that the m
dependent republican movement will be
formidable With the recent experience
Of other republican bosses before his
eyes, Mr. Quay is anxious; If the inde-
pendent movement in Pennsylvania be-
comes half as formidable as itthreatens
10 be, the clock win strike for Quay.
The gossip is that, as the result OF
conference with his republican iieuten-
ants. Mr. Quay thinks Of making bold
play by declaring himself candidate
for the office of goEernor-the theory is
that the magic of his name would rally
many of those who are disposed to wan
der from the republican fold. Tactics
of this SORT are not novelty with Quay.
When he was lesser boss than he IS
now and when his evil methods had
brought him apparently to the jumping
off place, Quay ran for state treasurer.
Some of the staunchest republican news
papers in Pennsylvania fought him hard,
declaring that his place was in the peni-
Tertiary rather than the treasury, but
Quay won and, till nov, he has not
ceased winning.
With the independent movement
putting on imposing proportions in
Pennsylvania. Quay certainly IS To face
this year the fight of his life. Whether
his own candidacy would help is seri-
into lamentably bad way in 1894 and
David b. Hill. then a senator, fancied
that the way out of trouble was for him
10 go to the front and run for governor
The result was that Hills name didn't
help III all. Levi Z. Morton scored Il
majority of more than $4,000.
Probably it would be much the same
were Quay to run under the notion that
his is the name TO Win with. Still, the
senator has lieutenants who are saying
that in Pennsylvania the next republic
can state convention viii contain an I'M
usually large number of uninstructed
delegates. and that IT, at the eleventh
hour. it appears that w a. Stone cannot

might accept the nomination.
