An Engineer Who Sustains the Fire Marshal in His Statement that Build- ings May Be Ignited by the Heat Arising from Superheated Steam. New Youk, Jon, 22, 1873, To THe Eprron oF THR HeRaLD:— Since the report of the Fire Marshal was made, ‘Btreet Lamps, Rapid Transit, Public. Offices and in which he stated that many fires have been caused the Harlem Court House Jobs in the Board of Aldermen—Appointments by the es Mayor—The Sheriff's Office—A ‘% New Bank for City Deposits. ~~. ‘| THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN. ty ‘The weekly meeting of the above Board was held yesterday afternoon, President Vance in the chair, There was a full attendance, and the following bus- ‘ness was transacted :— : STREET LAMPS. Alderman Monheimer presented a resolution ‘from the Committee on Lamps, requesting the Com- ‘missioner of Public Works to ascertain and report %he number of all street lampposts and lamps that Yhave been removed or changed from the position fm which they were originally placed, without the authority of the Common Conncil, and also Bis opinion as to the advisibility of having such fampposts and lamps returned to the places trom Avhich they have been removed. The resolution was adopted. ~The committee also presented a report, ac- *companied by a resolution, directing the Commis- -mioner of Public Works to disconnect from the gas -mains all lamps lighted for private purposes at the expense of the city, and removing any such lamp- posts and lamps, provided that any lamp now @tanding may ve allowed to remain on condition ‘that the occupant or owner of the premises where Fuck Jamp is placed connect it with the meter on is or their premises and pay for the same. Alderman McCaFreRTY moved as an amend- ment :— That ro much of the report of the Committee on Streets What authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to cut ea aie lamps and gan, as allowed by ordinances of the ‘ommon Council, in front of the several churches, be mnd is hereby exempted irom said report, The amendment and resolution were laid over. OFFICES YOR THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. Acommunication was read from Commissioner Van Nort informing the Common Council that it ‘was desirable that it should promptly legislate as jto the assignment o! rooms for the above depart- ment, inasmuch as the lessee of the premises ‘now occupicd by that department required an an- @wer as to whether the lease would be renewed foy the 18th of February. The transfer of these soMfices to the City Hall would, the Commissioner said, effect a saving of $35,000 per year to the city. ‘The resolution was referred to the special commit- ftee having this matter in charge. f GAS FOR THE CITY. A petition was read from Theotore A, Tomlinson recommending that the city undertake the manu- facture of gas, The petition was referred to the Committee on Law. COMMUNICATION FROM THE ROARD OF HEALTH. A letter was received from the above Board ask. ing the Common Council to enter isto a contract ‘that should |e more advantageous to the city than the present contract of Middleton Bell for remov- fing night soil. The communication was referred fo the Cominittee on Law. ‘ RAPID TRANSIT. Alderman VAN ScHAICK moved the following :— ‘Whereas the Legislature of the last year has authorized @he construction oi two different roads for the rapid trans- jortation of passengers between limiied extremes of this Bis, ‘and as several parties are petitioning it tor author- the plans are varied in de- ity to construct otuers, and sign; therefore, be it solved, That, in order that this Board shall be more Bes advised than it now | to the best method of rapid e ansit, that the Chief Engineers of the Departments of jocks, Public Works and Health are hereby requested to port to this Hoard, at the earliest possible period, their ppinions of the requirement of this city on rapid transit, the most practicable method of attaining it and of the reneral course of the road or roads, without referring to letails of elevation or construction. ’ The resolution was adopted. NINTH DISTRICT COURT HOUSE, Alderman Vance moved That the Committee on Law De) hereby directed to Inquire and report upon the validity pf the existing leases of the building now used as a Court jouse for the Ninth district, im Fourth avenue, near 123th Btreet; also as to the adaptability of the building tor the urposes of a Court House and prison, particularly as to lhe safety of the Inmates in case of tire, and such other Information in connection with the leases and uses of the uilding as they may consider of interest to the public. The resolution was adopted. NEW LOCATION FOR CITY OFFICES. Alderman VANCE moved that the Comptroller be @irected to lease from the Society of the New York Hospital the premises in Duan: id Church streets, @t arate not to exceed $25,000, lor offices for the city government. The resolution was laid over. THE REDUCTION OF TAXATION. Communications were read trom the Comptroller @s to the reduction of city taxation, and enc.osing @ draft of a bill to be submitted to the Legislature @nd which have already been published, ferred Xo the Committee on Legislation. “The Board adjourned to Thursday next.

The Commissioners of Docks m:t Thomas Agnew in the chair. mittee accepted the report of superintendent Ran- om as to the condition of the lower part of the jer at the foot of Stanton street, and expressed a Beiter that the owners would make the necessary yesterday, repairs. the actnal cash balance to the credit of the de- artment was $6,960 28. They further added tnat hey had sent in the pay-rolls of the department for ‘the past month, amounting to $31,893 29, to the ‘Comptroller on the 12th of January, but no notice had been taken of the application, though Mr. Green has $500,000 of the funds of the department 4n his possession. A NEW BANK FOR OITY DEPOSITS, City Chamberlain Palmer has designated the Cen- ral National Bank as one of the city depositories, amaking four banks where the public moneys are deposited, Z A COUNTY NURSERY NARRATIVE, A Young Man Who Was Nursed by Charity Goes to Sea, and, Returning After Many Years, Finds His Father Dead and a Fortune of $25,000. A young man, who gives his name as William | AVeeks, visited the office of the Commissioners of Charities, Kings county, yesterday, and gave a movel account of himself. ‘fiam and Edward, had been sent by his father to ‘the nursery at Flatbush, His movher, whom ne ‘did not remember, he understood had been prev. fously placed in the Lunatic Asylum. Aiter @ brief detention at the nursery Willlam was put to gervice with. a Long Island farmer, living at ‘FAuntington, Suffolk county. ’This was about thir- teen yeurs ago. Not liking the treatment he re- ceived qoung Weeks shipped on board a vessel and made a voyage. He had ever since pursued a seafaring life. Recently he learned that bis her, Who had resided at Bridgeport, Conn., was dead, and had left an estate worth $26,000, which had been taken possession of by his reiatives. The young man was in quest of iniormation as to whether his mother and brothers were ulive. One of the clerks in the oiice knew of the cir- cumstances connected with the consignment of the Weeks’ tamily to the institutions named, and also that the Superintendents of the Poor, some six gears since, instituted a suit against Weeks, Sr., hs poms a enter Weeks is still an in- ‘mate 0} ‘ylum, whither her son, who is ap- Se we yeung man, ew in quest of 18 mot with what result not, however, the Executive Com- | ze The Auditing Committee reported that When a child he stated | ‘ehat he, together with two younger brothers, Wile | His Of Otite Males. {rate as by superheated steam, and that under certain con- ditions ateam in pipes and boilers “set up work” might become overheated or & with astemperature high enough to cause the ignition of combustibles contiguous to the pipes— for this is essentially the assertions he has made— much has been said or written and published, pas sionate or dispassionate, by interested and disih- terested persons im relation to it, and the public mind has only been confused, while the real mezits of the important question involved have Ween lost sight of. If does not prove that sténm may not be superheated in a boiler “set up in brick work” and under certain other conditions heretofore named to assert, as one of your corre- spondents has, that during several weeks when the fires were “banked” ina marine boiler under his charge ona steamboat, the engineer did not set fire to his boat, see any evidences of superheated steam or believe that steam had ever been super- heated under such circumstances, because a great many witnesses who have not are required to connterbalance the testimony 01 one who has seen a thing gnd because the marine boiler referred to was not “set up in brick’'—a condition essential, ag will be seen, to the theory of the Fire Marshal. For an engineer to reier to those pressures within a boiler “that always attend upon named tempera- tures,’ only seems to show, when no explanatiqnis made, that he does not know that the raie of in- crease of expansive force for increase of tem- peratures is widely diferent with superheated steam and saturated steam. For instance, take saturated steam at fifty pounds pressure to the square inch, andit has a temperature of 801 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the same as the temperature of the water within the boiler, Now, add 41 de- grees of heat to the water, and the steam will in- crease in temperature to the same degree, and the pressure will be 100 pounds. But if we increase the heat ofthe steam without permitting the fre to act upon the water until the PECennts, is in- creased to 100 pounds, the steam will have a temper- ature of 701 degrees, or be hot cnough to ignite such combustibles a8 charcoal, &c., while the water will | only have the temperature of 342 degrees Fahren- heit. All that part of this discussion that relates to dissociation or decomposition oi steam into its original elements, the separation of oxygen and hydrogen, the ignition, explosion or combustion oi these gases within the ptves to heat them orto set fre to buildings upon escaping “through the pores,”’ or via leaks of the pipes, should be dis- carded, as the theory which presupposes that buildings are set on tire or consumed by over- heated steam refers only to steam confined within boilers or pipes which has received heat enough to sufliciently superheat it from some source of heat capable of giving it the high temperature required, and that after it is so heated that it is conveyed to the place where tie combustibles are found along the pipes, heating them by its contact wita the material of which they are composed, aiter which the tre is started or combustibles ignited by the overheated pipes. It is well known that steam can be superheated in aproper apparatus as readily as air, any other gas or combination of gases. Many p: a3 do not know (and ignorance has made trouble uany times be- fere) that steam can be heated much more rapidly than water—that is, the same number of units of heat will raise the temperature of a pound of steam—at a low or high ‘eaanpe indifferently— two or three times as high as a pound of water would be heated by the same quantity of heat. And if, instead of considering the relative quanti- ties of steam and water to be heated by weight, we take them bulk for bulk, it can be seen, as a pound of steam may at the pressure of the atmosphere occupy about seventeen hundred times as much space as a pound of water, upon the communica- tion of an equal quantity of heat, to one seven- teen hundredth part of the same weight, the temperature would theoretically rise from three to five thousand times as high in the steam as in equal bulk of water, Having this foundation of knowledge of our subject, we are prepared to believe that a small quantity of red hot brick, with Nearly equal capacity for heat to water, could raise the temperature of steam very high, if the steam should be enclosed in pines, within a red hot “‘baker’s oven,’ as described by the Fire Marshal in his earnest and lucid speech before the Polytechnic Club of the American Instivute, ater cannot be heated from its upper surface downwards while steam is being generated or while it has a temperature above forty degrecs Fahrenheit; and this is also an important fact in connection with this subject, because so many, in writing about superheating of steam, reier to “the presence of water,” as if that made a difference under the circumstances referred to, As to Barnum’s Museum, were all the water and steam exposed to the fire under the boiler, was enclosed in pipes of considerable con- tinuous length, running back and torth ina zigzag direction, having about ten folds or returns, six of which were usually filled with water, the four upper ones with steam. All these pipes were nugdied together within thick brick wails, forming a chamber enclosing the pipes, sides and top, and the hot coal fire was built on grates at the bottom, the hot gases resulting from the combustion of the fuel impinging directly against these pipes and in- terior of the walls of the chamber. It can be seen that ten or twelve hours of steady and vigorous firing would make all the interior of the brick- work red hot, It would be expected that. the steam contained in the upper rows of pipes would be highly superheated continuously, and it would be ifit were not for the mechanical action of the steam generated in the lower pipes, by which such ebullition would occur as to sur- charge the steam with water enough to absorb the heat communicated directly to the higher pipes or radiated vo them from the red-hot walls. When the hreis “banked” or withdrawn the ebullition ceases, and the water contracts and finds a lower level. The steam first becomes ‘dry steam,” and 16 then superheated. entirely by the heat radiated trom the hot brick walls. No one would doubt that these pipes would be made very hot under such circumstances if there was no steam or water in them, or if they contained only common air. Dry steam is heated at exactly the same air, and as the water is quict in the odottom of the boiler at tiis time, or in the lower tubes after the fire is banked, and, as it can- not be heated by the steam, the steam cannot part with any of the heat it has received in that man- he superneated steam, thereiore, and ner. | naturally, prefers to steal its way, like an in- cendiary, along the pipes lea*ing trom the top of the bolier to the place where “combustibles,” charred by previous Visits of the element, are to be found, of easy ignition. Fires caused in this man- ner usually occur in the night, when inmates of buildings sleep and at the hour When no one 1s:on the watch—usually, too, all the evidences of the cause are destroy: Fortunately, in a large nam. ber of late cases the fire has been discovered and extinguished so early as to afford a clew to the vigilant Fire Marshai and his aids for the detection of its real origin. If those who pronounce the statements made by the Fire Marshai or myself in relation to super- heated steam ‘absurd’? and “monstrous” would examine the records in his omc trouble to visit steamboats or buildings contaming boilers with me, or will ask questions of engineers Tcan designate—who are witness the thing, of those who have not—such con- firmation of the fact that fires result trom super- heated «team Will be found as to preclude the pos- sibuity oi lurther misunderstanding about it.

TAPAN. Diplomatic Combinations in the Relations Towards Corea and Formosa. American Official Advice—What the Agricw) tural Commission Has Accomplished—Court Projects and Long Tail Coats—Industrial Enterprise—Three Genuine Woolly Horses for Vienna—The Calen- dar of Time Changed—The Mission to Washington. ~\Yoxonama, Dec, 23, 1872, The Corean matter dems to be clearing up a little, Hannabussa has at last Jeturned, and is in Jeddo, He reports that everything between Corea and Japan is on a frienly footing; thaé he went there with a lot of rice, having heard that that arti- cle was extremely scarce in that country, but on his arrival at Corea he found that rice was cheaper there than in Japan, heace he brought his cargo back. The Coreans also paid to Hannabuasa a sum of money due to the Japanese at Yussima, and the Japanese Ambassador claims that his mission was ® perfect success. All this story looks plausible on the face of it, The probabilities are that Japan, being unprepared tor war, has, by humility and submission, averted a war for the present. But hostilities must sooner or later take place between the two countries, for the facts remain that Japan has been insulted by the Coream government, and all ‘intercourse between the two coun- tries is at an end. The Formosa affair is also attracting the attention of the government. They @re anxious to avoid hostilities. At first it was supposed that a naval expedition was to be sent to that island to punish the barbarous inhabitants thereof for tneir cruel treatment of some ship- wrecked Japanese who were recently cast away on their inhospitabie shores. I have ascertained be- yond a reasonable doubt that thev have sought the counselor the American Minister in this matter, and that Mr. De Long has helped them. A few months ago General Le Gendre, late United States Consul at Amoy, arrived in Japan on his way home, But he has remained in Japan ever since, He happened to arrive here about the same time that this Formosan ditliculty was first made known, General Le Gendre has, as Consul at Amoy, had some experience of Formosa. About three years ago the barbarians had com mitted depredations and robberies on some foreign residents there. The General was appealed to, and he took the gunboat Ashuelot and “went for’ the heathens. ie has the reputation of knowing more about the island than any one else out here, Hence, when ho remained in Jeddo, in daily consultation with Japanese ofl- cers, it was reported that the Gencral was to be entrusted with an expedition to Formosa, The General’s conduct rather sustained this suspicion, He Keeps himself exceedingly close, refusing to see a single foreign resident, except Mr. De Long. Now that there ts something in the wind, and someim- portant move on the tapis in which it will be found that the American Minister is taking anand, I am certain and I venture to predict, from signs more trustworthy than the auguries of old, that there is & piece of diplomacy afoot which is intended to have the effect of getting Japan out of a considerable diMeculty. It will be remembered that in the early part of this year a Japanese Ambassador was sent to China to negotiate a treaty—a mission which only par- tially succeeded, Another mission 1s to be sent to China to congratulate the Emperor on his acces- sion to the throne and to induce China to settie this matter at Formosa, it being a dependency of the Flowery Kingdom. Of course this diplomatic mussion will attempt to go further, 1 think it 1s to endeavor to arrange matters in such @ way that, should any difficulty in the 1uture arise between Corea and Japan, China is to bind herself to re- main at least neutral. However, within the fol- lowing month this movement around which they are endeavoring to wrap such a cloak of mystery will be made known. THE AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION, The Yesso Commission, headed by General Capron, lias returned from that island to winter at Tokio. The results of the Summer labors of this commission are not very great, but they are probably a3 much as could reasonably be expected. The tact is that scant justice has been done to General Capron in the reports that have been sent home concerning him and his doings in Japan. He has had great dificulties to contend with, trom tie lact that the Japanese, although seemingly anxious to employ foreign aid, are 80 insufferably vain that they imagine they can learn in a few months ail that ho A joreigner can teachthem, A good many things have been attributed to General Capron that he 1s by no means responsible for. But tn those matters wherein his advice has been taken and acted upon, fair success has foliowed. Another thing that militated against the complete success of the mission is that uimost immediately upon its arrival in Japan the subordinate members of the mission commenced to wrangle and intrigue for higher salaries. In this matter General Capron is undoubtedly at fault, for had he been firm and jusisted upon these men fulfilling their contracts, instead of yielding to them, he would have avoided a vreat. deal of trouble. However, the commission | have done something. They have demonstrated the practicability of bringing the northern island under | cultivation, They ha’ introduced into Japan several foreign grasses and cereals, and proved that the svilis capabie of raising such. They have introduced new stock, in order to improve the | native breeds of animals. In Yesso twenty-seven | miles ofa first class wagon road have been built under the superintendence of Major Whartieid, t civil engineer of the purty. Although this gent) man is at present under a siight cloud, on accouut of span al ditticulty that he has had with one of the Japanese omticers, great credit is given to him, | and the matter reterred to is under advisement of | the American Minister. A NEW CALENDAR OF TIME. On the Ist day of January of the ensuing year the Japanese mode of reckoning time is to give piace to tne foreign, The first day of our new year will be fotlow the calendar as is laid down in our nautical almanacs. The time of day, also, 1s to follow cur reckoning, the day being divided into twenty-four hours instead of twelve. Sunday 1s to bea noli- day, all the other monthly holidays being abolished, and miéirabdile dictu, it has been aoe discov- ered that the 25th day of December should always have been observed a3 a@ holiday in Japan, but for some unaccountable reason it has hitherto been neglected, Hereafter itis to be noted asa great day, and is to be held sacred to Ziumu, the first Emperor of Japan. The mauper o! reckoning the years is also to be altered. Hitherto the years have been numbered trom the reigning monarch; Jor instans this being the sixth year, Meiji. But hereaiter this ts to be dropped. ‘the coming year | will be 2,533, probably dating from the supposed | founding of the Japanese Empire. DUBBING OF KNIGHTS AND LONG-TAILED COATS. Other changes are also to come in with the new year, Orders of Knighthood for both civil and mili- tary officers are to be imstituted. All persons are to be forbidden to wear their hair in the old Jap- | anese fashion, Foreign style of clothing is to be | recommended, and an order has already been ss, | namely—biack cloth clothes—coat, swaliowtal: and stove-pipe hats. Who says that Japan is not rapidly becoming civilized? j INDUSTHIAL PROGRESS, On the 13th of March ensaing, another exhibition is to be opened at Kioto, Foreigners are to be al- lowed to exhibit and to visit the exiibition on nearly the same terms as last year, The articles are to figure at the Vienna exposi- ccted, and are LOW Ov exhibition for Austria, The list com- se prodactions—natural and mechanical, Different kinds of silks and teas and medicines figure largely; @ large assortment of paper articles and mineral specimens, of old coins, of engravings, bronze ware aud ivory will also be exiubited, Besides these there are two veritable wooily horses and a three-legged dog.

Imperial and Popular Preparations for the Formal Ascension of the Emperor to the Throne. et Foreign Interests and the Ministerial Andience Question—Native Mercantile Marine Progress and Great Hope of Steam Trade Development. Smanomay, Dec, 11, 1872, The marriage of the Emperor of China having been consummated, that august personage ts to remain in entire seclusion until the time arrives for him to ascend the throne of his ancestors. Great preparations are being made for the proper Solemnization of that event. Decorations aud Promotions are to be bestowed with a lavish hand. Presents are to be made, high festivals held and criminals are to be pardoned. The happy day will be some time in February, But, in spite of all the noise and bother made about its coming, I doubt wicther any material change will be noticeable in the government of the Empire, Prince Kung will UL, ik all probability, have entire control. But We may xpect a lively time on the audience ques- (ion, as the Prime Minister will, after the ascension of his nephew to the throne, be deprived of the excuse with which he has hitherto succeeded in postponing the subject, and @ definite settlement will undoubtedly be demanded by all the foreign Ministers resident at Pekin. AMERICAN DIPLOMACY AND NATIONAL INTERESTS. A book has lately made its appearance here in China whicn has created quite a stir among the foreign residents, and especially among the diplo- matic corps and foreign officers in Chinese em- ploy. {t is entitled “Tne Burlingame Mission,” and the author of it is one Johannes Von Gumpach, © @ genticman who was residing in Pekin when Mr. Burlingame set forth on his mission attached to one of the foreign Jegations, Since that time he has been offered an appointment as teacher under the Chinese government; but some hitcn arising Qs (0 his title, namely—whether he was to be called Proiessor or not, and whether he was to superin- tend in his departinent or not—the negotiation fell through, and China has done without the as- sistance that could have been renderea by Baron Gumpach, The book is written tor the purpose of showing that the Burlingame Mission was a fraud, not only upon joreign coustries but even upon China herself, and that the Chinese government is a most treacherous and barbarous one. He accuses Dr. Williams, the American Secretary of Legation, of tying, ollicial transactions, and, in fine, is particularly bitter upon everything American, tains a great deal of interesting matier, and un- | doubtediy many of his points ure proven by the authorities he adduces, and especially the one which he makes that the object of Clina was to stave olf the evil time of revising the treaties, But itis the production of a sour and embittered indi- vidual, and consequently the author has weakened @ tolerably strong cause by his vindictiveness, Had he been less of a partisan and capable of being an impartial writer, this book would ye been a most valuable onc, and the world could have learned all about ‘the Burlingame Mission and Chinese diplomacy. But the whole object of the work 18 almost destroyed—at any rate it is ob- scured—by the dishke, which the author takes no “puis to disguise, that he entertains toward the Americans in China. NATIVE MERCANTILE ENTERPRISE. The foreign merchants of this port are just now greatly exercised over the fact that the Chinese are making considerable efforts to compete with them in the coast carrying trade, Hitherto all this trade has been done by foreign shipowners—the in- surance companies refusing to insure a vessel un- der the Chinese ilag. But this difficulty has just been got over by the Chinese appointing a foreign agent who acts as intermediary between them and the insurance oflices. Mr. J. H. Mackie, a citizen of the United States, has been appointed to this ofice. This movement on the part of the Chinese 1s one of | grest interest. In the first place, it shows that y are Waking up, and are beginning to apprec ate the use of steam vessels. In the second plac they undoubtedly will have the privilege of enter. Ing ports that are closed to forelgners, which will teud to increase the demand tor toreign goods and open up new markets. Besides, in the course of the following get have no doubt that the Chi- nese flag will be seen flying from the peaks of ves- sels in the harbors of New York and London, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. pA eke Order for “Taps”—The Latest Commands Regarding Company Signals.
