Serious harm was narrowly averted
at the Riverside Canning factory Sat-
urday when one of the big steam re-
torts in which they were cooking ap-
pies exploded. About forty people
were working in the building at the
time and it is fortunate that none were
scalded The retort weighs about 1900
pounds and there was weight upon
it which weighs 800. Without warn
ing to indicate what was to happen
the retort went flying up thru the
leanto in which it was situated. The
force was sufficient to carry it almost
as high as the smoke stack. The re-
tort had been located so that its base
was upon the ground under the floor
and from this fact is due the escape
from scalding. 1t had been used a
number of years and it was evidently
weakened by corrosion.
