THINKS A DOG WOULD NOT USE 1T,
Mp CANTOR DIsAPPROVEs a DESIGN FOR
DOG FOUNTAIN SUBMITTED BY
THE s 2. c. A

Borough President Cantor does not agree with
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty TO
Animals on a design for dog fountain submit
ted nv the society a few weeks ago Mrs Min
ME Maddern Fiske and others interested in pro-
vfding drinks for thirsty dogs raised by sub
scription about $500 for the purchase of dog
fountains After the fountain project was start
ed the animal society took an interest in it, and
q short time ago offered to submit design.
Mr. Cantor is displeased with the design,
which reached his office yesterday, and which
he saws is absurd. The fountain is made of
metal and is black enamelled 1t is about the
size of an old fashioned stone Cuspidor, which it
resembles to some extent in shape. What Mr.
Cantor objects to most, however. is the letter
ing on the design submitted yesterday. Around
the front of the fountain i'll red painted letters
is IS p c. A." These letters are very prom
inent giving the impression, of course. that the
idea Of drinking fountain for dogs should be
credited to the society
The design Of the fountain is so ugly that 1t
is doubtful If dog would willingly drink out of
it." said the borough president. He added that
he would submit the design TO the Municipal Art
Commission but would never allow the money
10 he spent for the fountains unless the design
changed

The popping" of an engine. II sound
extremely offensive to people when the
machine is in n city, Is the blowing of
of surplus steam through the safety
valve. The sound generally indicates
that poor engineer and an Incompe-
tent fireman are in charge OF the en-
gine. 1t has been found that the waste
of steam usually when an engine
pops" or blows Off surplus steam Is
equal to the loss of about eight pounds
of coal-half n shovelful, or at the rate
OF shovelful minute, Safety valves
usually remain open about half min
ute, when they are raised by surplus
pressure, and the loss of heat in the
escaping steam equals every second

ter of pound of coal.
In little book issued by the Wis
consin Central to Its tiremen and en-
CINE men engineers are particularly in
structed as To the cause of boiler eXplo-
sons. Both wrought iron and steel
boiler plates rapidly weaken when
heated hotter than about 400 degrees.
This is the temperature OF steam at
23o pounds pressure. 1t is known that
there is no weakening of the strength
of the boiler plates at this tempera-
ture; the weakening begins after the
sheet is heated over 400 degrees.
When 1000 degrees hot the strength Is
reduced so per cent, or four-hfths.
Water covering completely the heating
surface of II boiler prevents overhead
ing, says the Black Diamond. But
with hot tiIe and bare crown sheet
probably ten or twenty seconds would
give time to heat the metal to tenn
perature at which its strength would
be weakened enough to give way be-
meath the heavy pressure upon it, for
with 100 pounds working pressure
there Is over ten tons OF pressure on
each square foot of the crown sheet.
Most explosions occur this way.
