And from iron to-steam there is a very rapid interchange of heat—that is, where there is an opportunity for the steam to freely circulate.

He is altogether wrong in his ideas on steam. Superheated steam ts produced by reheating the steam afer it is generated in the boiler, The superheater is connected with the boiler and is heated by the fre of the boiler or bv an auxiliary tire, McSpedon gays that after the fires are banked the steam becomes superheated and forms @ gas. There is bis mistake. ‘Aiter the fire is banked the steam remeining in the pipes becomes condensed unless the dire ia, left down far enough. Cam, and condensed steam is water instead of powerful gas. Consequently, owners of steam boilers need have-no fears of explosions or fires if they see that.their fires are proper! banked and the hot coals are thrown ‘in the asl pans and wet out, for. there 1s where the reat danger of fire from steam boilersis, And if Fire Marshal McSpedon would take a few lessons from some good fireman before he calls himself au ex- pert, 1¢ would save him from being the lau, stock Of engineers. ENGINE! BROOKLYN AFFAIKS. ee Shocking Suicide. Yesterday morning Mr. Giover, who resides in Livingston street, near Hoyt, was informed by his domestic that she was unable to arouse Mr. Morris, who resided in his family. The gentleman occu- plea an upper room ib the house and was @ wyer, doing business in New York. Mr. Glover went to the room and forced the door open, when he beheld the bedy of Mr. Morris stretched upon the bed, the clothing of which was saturated with blood, and a large pistol-shot wound threugh his head. The weapon which caused his death was ying by his side, and. it 18 supposed that he com- mitted suicide. The deceased wis a single man and in good circumstances. Coroner Jones was noti- fied, and will hold an inquest over she body of the deceased to-day, ‘Kings County Commissioners of Charls tles—The Finances of the Board—The Question of Utilizing Pauper Labor, The Kings County Commissioners of Carities met and organized for 1873 by the election of the following oMcers:—President, Commissioner Fer- guson; Treasurer, Commissioner Cunningbam. Commissioner POWELL them called for a state. ment of the amount of funds at the disposal of the Commissioners for the balance of the fiscal year. Mr. STILLWELL showed that the eratire amount appropriated by the county last year for the sup port of the poor was $400,000. Of this araount there had been spent by the last Board of Com- missioners during the expired five months of the fiscal year $246,000, leaving a balance to the credit of the new Board of $154,000, to last for the remain- ing seven months of the year, Commissioner CUNNINGHAM said that the report of the Clerk as to the amount of funds on hand should act.as a warning to the new Commissioners to exercise the utmost discretion in the disposition of them, #0 a4 to make them last till the new fiscal year. He was not in favor of any such system of economy as would leave any poor, dcserving per- son without aid, but if there was any means by which the county expenses could be reduced in the department under charge of the Gomn ioners, he was in favor of giving the matter carctul cousid- eration. Commissioner Feravson expressed himself in favor of any measures Which might be introduced to lessen the expenses, Supervisor HarMAN appeared before the Board and asked leave to be heard. He said he repre- sented a large number of taxpayers in Brooklyn, who had been of the opinion for along time past that the public charities of Kings county cost the citizens 4 great deal more money than they ought to. ‘They thought that in suck institutions as the Almshouse there were a great many peopic who could be made to save the county at least half the cost of their support by work. There were a great Many light manufactures, which required no out- lay for machinery, on which these people could be employed. He had talked with several prominent manulacturers and they were all of the same opin- fon.
