NEW YUKK HERALD, SATUKDAY, MAKCH 40, 1872—TKIPLE SHEET. ‘Manufacturers of Marine Boiler Plates Stopping Work, Thousands of Hanis Discharged from the Mills— No Iron -for the Founders—The New Act Declared Arbitrary—A Repeal of It Asked For—Viows of Thoze ‘Who Are Most Concerned. Sines the commencement of the present month ‘the iron rolling milis wroughout the country bave ‘Ceased to manufacture boiler plates for marine -engines, andthe proprietors thereof have notified thelr customers—tne iron founders and boiler makers—that they will no longer be able to supply them with ihe material for the construction of BOILERS FOR STEAM VESSELS, This isin consequence of the coming in force of ‘an act of Congress, passed February 28, 1871, one ection of which provides that every steel or iron doiler plate shatl be stamped with the name of the Manulaciurer, the place where manufactured and Bubjected to inspection. This would not be cavilled at if, after Inspection, the responsibility of the gnanufactarer ceased; but the act has been 60 framed as to render him liable for all damages arising from deiects, and consequently the relusal to supply plales to the foundries, the managers of which assert that it 1 utterly un- Feasonabie to suppose that any Manulacturer would assume such a vast amount of responsibility. It ‘Would entail far too great @ risk, as i¢ would make him virtually not only the manufacturer of the Plates but the insurer of the botier ney composed, the vessel iu Which it was placed and the cargo aud Jives of the passengers she carried. Olaims for ‘ “INDIKECY DAMAGES” ‘could also be presented, and, owing to the careless: Bess of some engineer, or an indescernible daw in One Of the piates that was Of so slight @ nature as to stand the primal test, the -iuckless proprietor of the rolling mills from whence issued the faulty sheet of tron night find: himself suddenly saddied with Mabiliutes as heavy as the Alubame claims, Even if’ tue act be repealed, or rather amended— for the manufacturers only ask that their Habiliy case alter inspection—before the present session Ferminates an enormous amouni of damage will have Deen done, and if 1b is allowed to continue in force there is uo tolling where tho eyil will terminate. ‘Thousauus have already been thrown out of employ- ment, work in the rolling mulls and tron foundries 4s almost at a standstill, and numbers of vessels that might be plying upon the seas and rivers are lying Adie, lo the great detriment of thelr owners and the public at large.

In tho office of the Delamater Iron Works, at the fovt of Tuirteenth street, North River, the reporter found Mr. Robinson, the courteous superintendent Of the iouudry, and stated nis errand. “{ shail be happy to give you every information,” replied Mr. Roviuson, ‘especially as itis impossi- ble for auv one to combat the fact that this new law is working much harm, We have received Dotice (rom ail the rolling mtlis that have been in the habit of supplying us with ion that they can furnish us with no more plates for marine boilers, We cannot place an order with them, though we have severul; they are obliged to refuse them.” RevorvER—How are you going to manage about Vessels that require new botiers, or wise old ones atand in need of repair? Mr, ROwINSON—All vessels In such @ predicament will bave to be laid up.

In talking with the people wno control the wills they gay they are willing toanake iron plates and STAMP THEM ACCORDING TO RULE, but they wisn their responsibility to chd when the government officers have inspected and passed the boilers. You see any careless engineer can burn a boller out, and yet in a case where au accident oc- garred the imspectors might cut a sheet out of the Uist boiler, Nd it UnsOUnd Sud subject the makers to fine auc’ imprisonment. According to the present interpretation of the law the platemaker’s respousi- buity never ceases so long as We boiler lasts, REPOLEX—| Suppose Ut is.NOb always possible to detect a flaw to the iron?

That won't do at all; no mill owner would take tne risk; hence their reiusal to provide stamped iron to the foundries, Here 1s.a piece of iron which has been tested up to the government siandaid and stamped,” (continued Mr. Waruer, extubiting a small circular plate): “it would probe ably stand @ higher pressure -than 65,000 poun for here, you will perceive, is a piece of the best ‘Wawasset brand, the stamp on which shows it has stood a pressure of 71,372 pounds to the. square inch, But then this jatter 1s much more expensive, costing avleast TEN CENTS PER POUND, ‘This third plece 1s of second quality, and, though It has stood a pressure of 61,000 pounds, the manufac- turer would not tink of placing the government sae upon it and assuming the responsibility which would accrue.

VACOINATION—ITS DISOOVERY AND GRAND RESULTS AGAINST SMALLPOX. To Tae Epiror oF THE HERALD:— ‘The terrible scourge of smallpox under which we are now laid and the feariul ravages that this dis- ease is making bring forcibly befure us the neces sity of adoptung every method to atay its course, ‘The old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth & pound of cure,’ is very appropriate in this case, and itis but justice to say that the Board of Healuh has done its Work nobly, and the only trouble is a want ol co-operation on the part of the people, The two sovereign preventives are cleanliness and vaccina: tion, The first, as applicd to the city, 18 almost an, impossibility, but the second is within the reach of ali, and in almost every case it will be found efl- clea. The process of yaccination, or the artificial pro- auction of diseases from matter orlginaily obtained tron) a cow, is a discovery of modern tme, having been discovered by Dr. Edward Jenner in the year 1796, and probably no discoverer of modern times is worthy of more honor than this man, who, by a quasisimple discovery, has placed tn our hands a cure that hassaved thousands from the most re- Puilsive of dcaths, The attention of this gentleman ‘was first called to this matter by the popular belief of the people of Gloucestershire, England, that those people who were infected with the matter from the sores On the udder of the cow were secure from the contacton of smallpox. Thinking that there must ye something in this he made au experiment (the rst) on the 14th of Marca, 1794, Some matter was taken from @ sore on the hand of a datry matd and + was loserted vy superficial tncistoas into the arm of A voy. Pustules somewhat aunilar to those of small. ox, bub darker in ther Bue and ailed ith Alimpid Maid, were produced, and became surrognded with an erysipelatous, or red circle, but the whole died away, leaving on the 1 oculatea part, scabs and subsequent » escuars, Without producing any other inconvenience. On the seventh day after the operation the boy complained of some uneasiness in the armpit, on the nmth day he bevame clilly, had headache, loss of appetite, and was otherwise Lndisposed and passed a restiess nignt, but was well by the next aay. As the object of the experlinent Was to ascertain where tie cow- pox yay immunity from the smallpox, he was on he Ist of July mocutated with smallpox matter, but no disease was Peli and the saine result oo ae ee ge when this was repeated some months Thus was the fact established and substautlated that maiter taken directly or midirectly from the cow, when introduced into the human Body, would Preveut an appearance of the smalipox. The state- ment Of these facis produced @ great excitement in sclentilic circles at the tune, and many were the theories and ideas advanced in regard to it. In tite published resulty of an investigation made by Dr. Pearson we lind that be regarded the ¢ow and swalipox as two separate diseases, thus difering from Dr, Jonner, who thought that the cowpox was. only #@ modified form oi the former, Dr. Pearson ‘Was supported in luis theory by sir Isaac Penning: ton, Dr. Parr, Mr. Sinnons ahd otuers, who had made experiments m tat direction, But a thorough invesugation-only served to show that Dr. Jenber wus corcect ay his statement, that the disease originated in the disease in the heel of a horse, known as “greece,” and from this tt was tm- parted to the cow. And to prove this a Mr, Tanner succeeded in communicating tue cowpox to a cow by inserting iu whe udder a drop of liguiu taxea trom the heel or a horse while sudering with tue above-mentioned disease, The maiter was also taken in hand by Dr. Wood- ville, of the Smalipox Hospital, Loudon, and, in his report published iu 1799, Ue says, Out of 600 persons vaccinated Lot one took the smallpox.

One oi the most accurate and interest- ing details In reference to this point has been given by M. Bousquet, in nis, ‘“Lraite de ia Vaccine,’ as having occurred at Marseilles during tue epidemic smallpox of 125. The population of Marseilics, amounting to 40,000, might be diviued fato three classes, of which the respective numbers stood thus:—30,000 vaccinated, 8,00) neither vaccinated nor variolated, and 2,000 vario.atea—thatis, who bad Lhe smalipox eluher naturaily or by moculation, OF the 80,00u vaccinated :)vut 2,000 Were seized with the prevalent’ smal.,ox epidemic, of which number 20 died, or i for every 100 aflected.
