WHY THE BOILER BURSTS.
1llsntinc Explanation of Some Phenon,-
enA of tho Kitchen.

ena of tho Kitchen.
When you hear the kitchen boiler
cracking there is no cause for alarm.
There is prevailing impression that
the cracking is produced by steam and
that there is. therefore, an increased
pressure on the boiler at such times.
But this is an error. II the boiler is
in good condition. with the water
turned on as usual, SO that the boiler
is kept filled, the only pressure that
1t is subjected to is the same as
that in the water pipes, from which.
of course. there never is the slightest
danger. And this is true, no matter
how hot the water in the boiler may
be. The reason is very simple. AS
long as the boiler is kept full of water
there Is no room for steam. II you
open the hot-water cock the water
pours out and steam rises from 1t b.
cause it then has a chance to escape
into the air. In other words, rapid
evaporation takes place. But as the
hot water pours out water from the
pipes rushes in to take its place, and
thus the boiler is kept full. The
when the water is unusually hot, and
is nothing but the expansion Of the
boiler under the influence Of that heat.
1t is in no degree an indication OF
danger. unless, indeed, the boiler is
worn out or defective, which Is mat
ter entirely outside OF what we are
now considering. When kitchen boil
er explodes 1t is generally because
hre has been kindled in the range
while the boiler was empty. 1t hap
pens sometimes when people come
back to town after spending the sum-
mer away. The fire heats the boiler,
OF course, and when the water Is
turned on it is converted suddenly and
violently into steam, and the boiler
cannot stand the enormous pressure.
Fortunately, few persons are thought
less enough or silly enough to build
. fre before opening the cocks con-
Meeting the boiler with the water pipes.
