Why Boilers Blow Up.

Power: Boiler explosions may not
be more common than heretofore, but
they are certainly more numerous
than they need be. Many users Of
steam boilers do not know what an
amount of energy is con-
tanned in eve q small boiler, and they
therefore take risks and compel 9TH
ers to take risks that are frequently
entirely needless. Further, the men
who pay the bills are not usually
around the boiler very much and the
danger Is even less real to them than
it would be if they were where they
could hear escaping steam and see
the hot fire under the boiler. They,
therefore, compel the man whose
bread and butter depends ON his abil-
ity to hold his job to take the risk.
Frequently he does not dare say very
much because he would be likely to
lose his position If he did.
There is need of laws compelling the
