announces the editor of Power Worse than rats in a trap, these unfortunates in the fifteen by forty-foot firing "aisles, without warning, find themselves in the hold turned to hell by the escap:" ing steam and water. There is no smooth floor to tread on, but finstead "piles of coal and ashes and long, heavy firing irons enare the feet. The lights go out. Boiling water burns their feet and steam cooks their bodies. They cannot see, they cannot hear; and: to rush carelessly for the small doorway is to trip and fall into she scalding pool. The exigencies of murine engineering do not demand such toll of human life.

At some cost which the traffic will bear" at some "icconveut ence," loss in the aggregate than that sustained by the victims and their dependents, conditions in the stokehole can be made such that, a man need not commend his sonl to God every time he goes on watok. What is the reason that Loach boiler cannot be provided with inwardly or vertically opene

each combustion chamber have. an opening into a substantial duct leading to the atmosphere above the water line? A damper marte to atay shut normally by its own weight and the pressure difference between the sides, if placed in the duct at the boiler, would discharge most of the steam to the atmosphere in case of failure instead of blowing fite and steam into the boiler room. Sufficiently heavy plate used in the construction of the fide would provide a good outlet for steam. particularly if the front tube sheet should let go. The long- gested plan, it seems, is appli cable to most, if not all, boilers of this generally need type.
