ALL BOILERS DON'T EXPLODE
Explosion When Steamer Sinks is Due
to Water Pouring Into tho

next time the expression is used in
your presence. The thing doesn't hap
pen.
A boiler is less likely to burst when
surrounded by water and thus receiv-
ing pressure from the outside than
when exposed to the air and subjected
to the full force Of the internal pres
sure caused by the expansion OF the
steam.
What really occurs is that the FUR
naces are flooded when a steamship
sinks, thus causing a sudden rush OF
steam-call 1t an explosion of steam
and what this may mean can best be
realized by comparison with common
or household CRATE when the kettle
bol,s over. Imagine this on gigantic
scale, and conception can be formed
of the force exerted and the explosion
resulting. although the boilers remain

Sea serpents Were Seals.

Since the days of the first seafarers.
who peopled the ocean with mermaids
and mermen. belief in sea serpents and
similar marine wonders has been firm
ly held by many mariners. In mod
ern times, sea serpents were reported
to have been seen along the coasts of
the United States and Canada In 1906,
in 1918, in 1874 and 1916, and in the
latter years similar creatures were as
serted to be prevalent along the Nor
wegian coast.
The first case which gained any
credence among scientific men, how
ever, was the report of Captain Nc
Quhae OF the British navy. eOmman-
der of the warship Daedalus. who de
clared that on August 8. lS4S, while
en- route from the Cape of Good Hope
to st. Helena, he and his men saw n
strange monster of great size which
had many of the characteristics of the
sea serpent of the popular imagina-
ton.
The standing of Captain McQuhae
and his fellow officers rendered 1t
highly improbable that they were ly-
ing or were self-delnded hut after a
long discussion the 'fe world de
cided that the "serpe" was species
