4 " : CHAELOTTE NEWS. JUNE 6. 1901 ' - "WHY THE BOILER BURSTS. Scientific Explanation of Some Phe nomena of the Kitchen. - f-'When you hear the kitchen boiler cracking, there is no cause for alarm. There is a prevailing impression that the cracking is produced by steam and thaf there is therefore-an increased pressure on the boiler at such times. Uut this is an error. If the boiler is in Sood condition, -with the water turned on as usual so that the boiler is" kept filled, the only pressure that it is sub jected to is the same as that in the water pipes, from which of course there never is the slightest danger. And this is true no matter how hot "the tvater in the boiler may be. The reason is very simple. As long as the boiler is kept full of water there Is no room for steam. If you open the hot water cock, the water pours out, and steam rises from it, because it then lias a chance to escape into the air. In other words, evaporation takes place. But as the hot water pours out water from the pipes rushes in to take its place, and thus the boiler is kept full. The cracking noise referred to is heard when the water Is unusually hot and is nothing but the expansion of the boiler under the influence of that heat. It is in no degree an indication of dan ger unless indeed the boiler is worn out or defective, which is a matter entirely outside of what we are now consider ing. When a kitchen boiler explodes, it is generally because a fire has been kin dled in the range while the boiler was empty. It happens sometimes when people come back to town after spend ing the summer away. The fire heats the boiler, of course, and when the wa ter is turned on it is converted sudden ly and violently into steam, and the boiler cannot stand the enormous pn-s-'sure. Fortunately few persons are thoughtless enough or silly enough to build a fire before opening the cocks connecting the boiler 'with the water pipes. Chicago Chronicle. HOTEL KLEPTOMANIACS. Presumably Rich Gnests Who Ap- pronriate Other People's Property. I was much struck with the habits of kleptomania common to some of tlie presumably rich, visitors who engaged expensive suits of rooms and even paid their bills. After the departure of these guests the bed would be found minus the satin or silk coverlet, while towels and pillowslips were also very often removed. On one occasion a gentleman engng ed a double room for one night only, and the following morning the maid, knowing of his departure, made up the bed with 'fresh linen for the next occ u pant. ' However, the visitor had evi dently returned to his room after breakfast, deliberately taken the slips off the pillows and packed them with his luggage, for on entering the roc m shortly after I found the bed made i:p, but no slips. I happened to know tl::it the maid had certainly put fresh ones on when she made up the bed. What that gentleman could want with these two pillowslips is difficult, to under stand. Of course candles, matches and sor.p (supplied gratis) are commonly remov ed, and even the sheets on the beds are not spared. Once a large double sheet was cut into pieces, the visitor evident ly requiring sufficient linen for a petti coat or lining to a skirt, judging from the shape of the pieces left. The hotel sheet was no doubt the nearest thing available, so it was taken to save time and trouble, and the pieces left wore found carefully rolled up and thrown into a cupboard outside the room which was only used by the maids and strictly private. Needless to say, be fore the remains-, of the sheet wore found the visitors had departed, leav ing no address. Chambers' Journal. The Colors of Eels. The eel is very unpopular with many people; but, like many unpopular things, he improves with acquaintance. In form he is long, slender and grace ful, in color dark green, above and yellowish white below. Many be lieve that there are two distinct varie ties, the salt and the fresh water eel, but I am inclined to think that, like all other fishes, the eel partakes much of the nature of his surroundings. A long summer vacation in a pond or brook renders him darker in color, and daily feasting on landlocked delicacies renders him more corpulent. Just so codfish take on the color of their habitat, gray when on muddy bottom, bright red when living among kelps and gay colored marine plants. I believe, too, that the eel often for gets to return to salt water, but never breeds elsewhere, tor 1 have never seen baby eels in brooks or ponds. 1 have known tnem to be taken every month in the year in the same locali ties. Some say that half the eels spend the winter in fresh water, coming down in the spring, and that the other half go up for the summer. Not Given to Squandering. Justice You say that you doubt the statement of the previous witness that the defendant squandered his inherit ance. Please give the reason for your doubt. Witness 1 tried three or four times to get him to visit a church fair, but it was useless. He always smiled and in formed me that be-was not born yester day.

Shot ar d Killed by Accident. ; Asheville Citizen. Last evening about 8:30 Tax Lister R. J. Stokely received a telegram from T. B. Bedilion of SewickleyPa.; stat ing that Mr. Stokeley's son, Arthur, had accidentally shot himself and that the wound was serious. About two hours later he received a message conveying the sad .intelligence that the wound had resulted fatally. Young Stokely in company with Charles Nichols, the IS years old son of John A. Nichols, left here, about three weeks ago. The boys went direct from here to Pittsburg, and at. Sew ickley, Stokely secured .a position which he was filling at the time of the accident. ' It is not known where young Nichols is, although it is reported' he is at a small city near Pittsburg. How the shooting occurred is not known as the message simply stated that Arthur was accidentally shot. The receipt of the sad news complet ely prostrated his parents, Mrs. Stoke ly being compelled to take ' her bed upon being told of-her son's death. Arthur was the oldest child. He was 18 years of, age. He was a very bright boy and his life was a promising one. He was a, student at the high school here the past season and was well lik ed by both his tearhers and fellow schoolmates. . The body will be interred at Sewick- ley for the present at least. The Mr. Bedilion who sent the note is a tormer resident or Asnevine ana it is supposed young Stokely was stay ing at his house. The Weaiher. Forecast for North Carolina from Washington, D.

"What's the use, some one will ask, of raising pure-bred fowls instead of com mon chickens? We answer by asking what is the use of raising Jersey cows instead of piney-woods scrub stock, or what is the use of raising Essex hogs instead of razor-backs, or thoroughbred horses instead of marsh tackeys. One has only to look over the mongrel flocks of chickens at home ana at the homes of his neighbors, and then at the purei-bred fowls in the chicken show for an answer. -There is symmcrry Ol form, beauty of plumage and increase in weight. Such chickens are a cie - ligiht to the eye, even if there were not a single oxner auvaraasf. Au-jua.id j Chronicle.
