STEAM _PRESSURE.
To, alin' Editor of the Clinton :\'etvEl'a,
OHM: Slit,—In regard to a conversation
thick took place un the street, last Saturday
evening, between Mr. Hall and myself, about
engines and boilers, I would litre to say a few
words. This "keowled tilde" man stated
that he knew more than ail the Perdue family,
and that he coals answer ,•very question nor•
reedy that 1 could put to him, and he could
stick me every time, 1 wish to show howclever he was in answering my questions. 1
asked him what was a horse power of an en-
gine; he said it was what would raise 250 the.
ono foot high per minute. Well this clever
maw was just ;2, 75f1 Iles, wrung ; that was not
010011, was it ? A kenos power is that which
will raise ;13,00o lbs. one tout high por min-
ute. 1 then a4LOd hint if he could toll the
the capacity of n etca,n boiler, and he did not
appear to know what it intend. 1 then asked
him how many superfluous feet of heating
surface did it require to generate steam for a
horse power, and ho just laughed, and made
it appear as if 1 did not know what I was
talking about; just simply becau=e he did not
know there is a rule which has long been in
use, and is still used with very slight varia-
tions, and is as follows :—Square feet of heat.
ing surface per horse power, cylinder boilers,
ti Hue boiler, 12 ; tubular, l,3. Now, this
clever engineer run an ougino for Edward
Perdne last fall, and run it with from 100 to
110 lbs. steam pressure on, and the safety
valve tied down, trod because myself and
some of the farmers say it wasa''t right, he
says we aro fools, and don't know any better.
OneMonday-lir. I1a11-said-be eoulc hrwe ans•
wered my questions all right, but he had
ust forgot. This tnan'e memory was not very
trod, and still he would run an engine, with
over 100 11,e pressure on, and -trust to his
nemory and the damper to prevent it from
'xploding. Any person knows the pressure
ncrenses very fast, wheu at that height; still
1e Rept the safety valve tic) down, I3y the
Iv, I saw iu your last week's issue, of a man
the name of Hall being committed to jail,
be being considered a dangerous fanatic e the
wet time I wee talking to Mr. I fall he showed
very bed disposition, and made Some ugly
hrcata. I remain, yours, WM. 1'Eaut'E.

-Wo have much pleasure in calling attention

front rank of Canadian insurance companies.
The fact that on the 31st December Iasi, the

1(o•insurance Reserve, and held Assets -of the
value of $218,890available to meet losses,
over $90,000 of whle t was in cash or its
equivalent, proves it to be as strong financially,
(when their relative business is compared) as
the beat Stock Companies, with every ability
to deal promptly and liberally with sufferers

Cash principle are libera'T, and to Mutual.

There is good reason for the belief that

ave the effect of disarming much of the

other changes will he one providing fur the
