Tire Kitchen Boiler and the Water
Front.

The kitchen boiler is constructed OF
galvanized iron, moulded i'm the shape of
a cylinder, with hemispherical top. This
construction has been found to be strain
resisting, and the boiler may be suddenly
subjected TO great external and internal
stress. The name boiler Is misleading, as
the tank is only "A reservoir for storing
the water. which is heated in the real
boiler, known as the water front Cor
back.
The water front is merely a hollow iron
box or coil fitted close TO the frebOX Of
the range, where it absorbs heat from con-
tact with the fire. Cold water enters the
water front through a pipe at the bottom
Of the box, and passes, when heated to
the boiler. The hot water Conduction pipe
from water front to boiler should be OF
somewhat Increased diameter, TO accom-
modate the water expanded by heating,
and should extend at an upward slant TO
facilitate circulation. The application Of
heat. as II expands water sets all Of its
many particles in motion, and the cir
culation Of water through the water front
and boiler is established as soon as the
llif - lBul'i anu ''llNlIN'' d9 l''5 az
the fire is kept burning.
If the water is hard the water front
may become filed with deposits Of lime,
Just as lime forms layers and crusts on
the floor Of the tea kettle. If allowed to
accumulate the lime will lessen the diam
cter Of the box or coil. so that not only
is a less amount Of water heated per hour,
but il heats more slowly. The lime must
be cleaned out as frequently as It is
formed I'm any quantity.

cocks at bedtime. The burners of many
old gas stoves are closed only with the

the new stoves "A light and accidental
touch may open a burner sufficiently for

Household Plumbing
Nc. VII.
How to Prevent Disastrous Bomb Explosions in
the Kitchen by Proper Care of the
Range and Boiler.

an explosion that ruins the stove ana
may seriously injure any one near by
To prevent this accident a continuous fire
should be maintained in the range during
cold weather; the fire may be carefully
banked but should not be allowed to go
out at night. If the house has no heat
ing system, or there are badly exposed
water pipes, it is sometimes necessary to
open and run off all water from the pipes,
and turn off the supply in the cellar dur
ing the extreme weather of midwinter.
When this is necessary the trap Of the
sink drain must also be cleared. When
there is a suspicion that the water pipes
in the kitchen are frosted it is absolutely
necessary to thaw out the connecting
pipes before starting the fire in the range
Water should run freely from all taps
before the fire is lighted.
Bursting and Collapse of the Boiler.
The galvanized iron boiler is acted on
by certain waters and may rust out in
few years, while a copper boiler will last
a lifetime so far as chemical action is
concerned. The galvanized iron boiler has
come into common use because Of its
great strength and resistance to strain
When the water supply to the boiler is di-
rectly from the water main, and the
street water supply is drawn off without
warning, the sudden creation Of vacuum
i'm the boiler will cause it 10 collapse
When the water office gives notice that
the street supply is to be cut off at b
certain hour, it is necessary to close the
intake pipe and draw the fire in the range.
The boiler may collapse from external
pressure If the hot water has not been
drawn for some time and has become very
hot Opening a water tap suddenly will
draw a large amount of cold water into
the boiler and the immediate condensa-
ton of the steam to water results in a
disastrous vacuum being established. The
galvanized iron boiler, while not proof
against these accidents, will resist much
higher degrees Of strain than the more
durable copper tank.
II the water front has greater rela-
tive heating capacity than the boiler has
storage, ii may generate steam in suffi-
clent quantities to cause d constant rum
bling In the pipes, ana even gather suffi-
Cient energy to burst the boiler. The
steam safety valve which is provided
with the boiler may unfortunately stick
at Just the time II is most needed to
blow off steam. If the boiler is supplied
from tank pressure these dangers are
largely ObYiated by the introduction Of an
expansion pipe which opens over the attic
