WHY THE eoILER nuRsrs.
Scientific Explanation of some Phenomena
Of the Kitchen. 8


When you hear the kitchen boiler
cracking their is no cause for alarm.
There is a prevailing impression that
the cracking is produced by steam
and that there is, therefore, an In
creased 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 pres
sure 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 wa
ter there is no room for steam. II you
open the hot-water cock the water
pours out and steam rises from It be-
cause 1t 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
cracking noise referred to is heard
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 dan.
ger, unless, indeed, the boiler Is worn
out or defective, which is a matter
entirely outside Of what we are now
considering. When a kitchen boiler
explodes 1t is generally because a nre
has been kindled In the range while
the boiler was empty. It happens
sometimes when people come back to
town after spending the summer away.
The fire heats the boiler, Of course.
and when the water is turned on 1t is
converted suddenly and violently into
steam. and the boiler cannot stand the
enormous pressure. Fortunately, few
persons are thoughtless enough or
silly enough to build a fire before
opening the cocks connecting the ;
er with the water pipes.

Society Girls Overworked Tryi1E TO Be-

To learn as many of the fashionable
accomplishments as possible appears
to be the ambition of the girl of the

the case that considerations of physi-
cal health are entirely overlooked and
that the fashionable girl finds herself
worn out and old in appearance and
disposition before she has reached the
age OF %. The Ladies' Home Journal
characterizes this folly properly when
it says: There are parents who, not

daughters have to grapple with at

Tho FIRST move of the carver is to
insert the fork astrlde the breastbone,

the drumstick with one stroke of the

1t is a little difficult to locate this

Obituary..

William G. Woodward, only son of
James Woodward was born in New
Oregon township in September 1879,
and died after three weeks illness
from pneumonia, at the home of his
father near Dell Rapids, S. D., Sun
day, April II, 1901. His mother died
while he was in infancy, but in the
love and care of his step-mother, he
never realized his loss. All his life
had been spent in Howard county un-
TIL the removal of his parents to South
Dakota, about two years ago. Besides
his parents he leaves two sisters, Mrs.
Maude Wilhelm, of Lime Springs.
and Miss Ethel Woodward of Dell
Rapids, and a large circle of other
relatives to mourn his untimely death.
Although never uniting with any
religious organization, the deceased
died a christian, leaving to his sorrow
ing relatives and friends the sweet
memory of true, honest, helpful and
manly life.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon from the Baptist church,
Rev. Silke officiating and giving an
address full of hope and comfort to
the sorrowing ones. A large number
of sympathising friends filled the
church to pay their last tribute to the
memory of the deceased, and the flor
al offerings were handsome and pro-
fuse. His earthly tenement was laid
at rest beside that of his mother in
New Oregon cemetery.

1t is not generally known that the
city Of Wheeling does not own the water
works pumping station. Under the
contracts entered into by the old Water
Board, the city pays an annual rental to
the Holly Manufacturing Company of
$4,000, payable semi-annually.
1t has been generally understood that
these payments were applied to the con-
tract price for the machinery, but it
has not been known that the Dollar
Savings Bank of Wheeling is virtually,
if not really, the owner of the water
works pumping station.
The Dollar Savings Bank took the
Holly contract, and paid the contract
price for the machinery. The city is
therefore indicted to the Dollar Savings
Bank, and has been paying interest
upon the debt at the legal rate of six
per cent per annum.
The new Board, at a meeting held last
week. determined to acquire possession
of the pumping station. One day this
week the entire Indebtedness of $4,000
will be paid at the Dollar Savings Bank.
The Board has about $4,000 on hand
from its collection of regular assess
ments and delinquent water rents. 1t
will be necessary to borrow about $40
600, but it will be borrowed at lower
rate of interest. The Water Board will
secure the money at Az per cent. The
saving in interest will be considerable
item in itself
The new Board has decided to give a
better water supply to the several hun
bred families in Belvidere. Their sup
ply main has been attached to the main
which supplies the people of Fulton, and
the result has been that there is very
little pressure on the water in Belvi-
dere. 1t has been source of constant
dissatisfaction The Board will run a
main from the reservoir down to the ex-
tension of Mccullough street.
New pipes will also be laid to other
sections of the city, along some streets
which have been entirely without water
service. A new six inch line will run to
the Whitaker mill. A main will be laid
along Forty-seventh street from Eoff to
Water, to supply the plant of the
Wheeling Canning Company. A four
inch line will be laid on the Island to
some streets which have had no service.
The discount period ended July list,
and the rush at the Water Board office
is over. Hereafter the office Will close
at five O'Clock each afternoon.
