k || || llll | || Refusing1 Either 1o Swear or Affirm. An interesting incident occurred in the court of common pleas, before, Judge Van Hoesen, on Tuesday. Mr. 1 "William P. Brown, who had been sum 1 o inivw fnfllcoil mom'u iu m'liu ? juivi, .v, take either the oath or affirmation re.quired by law. Persons ?onscientiously scrupulous ] abont swearing are permitted by statute to affirm. Members of the Society of Friends or Quakers universally refuse to . take even a judicial oath. Thev believe that Jesus Christ meant what he said j when he declared: ] "Ye have heard it said by them of old , time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, , but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths; Put I say unto you, Swear not at j all: neither by heaven: for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is his ( footstool: neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king. Neither < shaltthou swear by thy head, because , thou canst not make one hair white or , black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea: nay. nay: for whatsoever is more than this cometh of evil." j , Tlio believe in the sincerity ol the < Savior, and that he meant by this command to interdict all swearing, or that it must be a very poor translation , of what he did say.' And yet learned divines manage to explain away this command as they do , * ' 1 11._ x nearly every ruing coniaiueu m me ncn Testament, until it means little or notli- ; ing.

In this respect the influence of William Ponn and the early settlers is still -very perceptible in the State of Pennsylvania. It is customary there, not only for Quakers, but for people generally-^" world's people," as the Quakers call them?to affirm instead of swearing. Person* familiar with proceedings in the courts of Pennsylvania kuow to what a t" remarkable extent this custom prevails. It is unusual, but nothing new, to find , persons who refuse to affirm.

It is a Ion- time since we have heard ; i of any one refusing to affirm until this Mr. Brown turned up in the common J pleas on Tuesday. Judge Van Hoesen, ' , who is himself as jnst and mild-mannered ; as a meek Quaker of the olden time and of blessed memory, fined and imprisoned , Mr. Brown for contempt. This was J strictly" according to law. And yet we , hardly think any serious injury would j have resiilti d if the conscientiously scru- , ' pulous juror had been excused.

I., on the t J'Depths of the Sea," many interesting f facts were stated. The sea covers H three-fourtlis of the surface of the globe. \ r Its saltness is attributed to rivers and j * springs which are constantly washing 5 ? into it chloride of sodium and other ] t. -soluble salts. The color of the sea } ,*' water when free from all mixtures is a ( pure deep blue. The color is due to , the fact that the blue rays of the spec- j tram are loss liable to be absorbed by j masses of transparent substances than the others, thus predomination# in the , _ t?>rl rwir-il. Obieets at a (lentil of t t x _ ? r? .. ( 1,000 fathoms must bear a pressure of a i ' tou on a square inch; moreoyer, at a , depth of fifty fathoms, the sun's light | - is almost entiibiy cut oft'. It was loDg f thought that animal life was impossible at great depths, and the first absolute pr.iof that animal life could be sustained "" at such depths was from fishing up a : cable that would not work, lying between Sardinia and Bona. It was corroded, i brok( 11, and covered with marine animals, cemented to it. In 18GS, 1809, 1K70, j her majesty's ships Porcupine and Lightning made many hauls of the dredge in the Atlantic, the deepest being twentyseven miles oil' the Bay of Biscay, where aminial life, including bony lisbes, was found in abundance. In regard to the enormous pressure at great depths Sir "Wynlle Thomas estimates the pressure upon a man at a depth of 12,000 to be epial to a w'eight of twenty locomotives, ; each wi'h a pood train loaded with pig iron. But a body supported within and i without, through all its tissues, by a comparatively incomprehensible fluid as water is, would not be necessarily incommoded. "We sometimes find, when we I - get up in the morning, by a rise of an j inch in the barometer, half a ton has been piled upon us during the night, | but we experience no inconvenience. !

[ i The New Method of Feeding Cuttle. | ' There can bo no more beautiful ( jountrv than that found in Passaic j , jountv, New Jersey, in the neighborhood ; j jf Pompton. The village itself is situ- ( ited on a big plateau all surrounded by [ 1 liills, real llat lands which stretch out i iii n level ]>111111 between every gap of j ; rising ground. Just beyond Arraroek , farm von see the continuation of the i ] plateau as it breaks through the bine j ' liills, and extends panoramic-wise far; , beyond. It is a country bountifully i watered, for on Arrareek farm there are ' two fairly big rivers, the "Wynokie and . Itamapo. The country seems especially fitted, from natural circumstances, for j .lairy-farnis, the meadow-lands running Town to the brink of the water. Pompton ! lias its interesting historic reminiscences, ' PrtfiMrr .r liv Arrmwdr tnrm stands an kV'* 4 4o4 v ' V - . J ( ancient stone house which tradition . states was once General Washington's headquarters in 1777. for the old j . Pompton road was the back route on the line of communication between . Trenton and West Point. , But it is not so much with the beauties i of the scenery or with the historic . traditions of Pompton that we have to lo as with a most novel way of feeding rattle in use on Arrareek farm. The visit made to the farm is chosen pur- ! poselv in March, for it is just at that time that, under ordinary circumstances, ( cattle are in their very worst condition. . Now it has happend that this year, owing j to the exceptional severity of the winter > ?the coldest known for quite a number . of years?cows are in very bad order. J Even those having the best shelter and abundant feed have felt the rigors of , the past winter. Cows on a farm, though all necessary , precautions may he taken, cannot be pampered. The few Jerseys or Ayrsliires on the experimental farm maybe petted and housed, but when a farmer has 120 head of cattle, though he uses all possible care, il'tlie winter is a hard one the ' animals in March and April must look ' at their worst. Generally hides are ] rough; the hair stands the wrong way; ; the eyes are heavy and want that soft J subdued gleam which is the chiefcst beauty of bovine expression. They are languid, and show physical depression, i ; There are few frisky yearlings, and the four and six-month calves have a feeble [ mid puny look. If the farmer has been j a thrifty man, lie has been doing all in ; his power for his stock during the long | : ' w?i I i. _ _ n 1 I I winter, liiey nave ueen sueuereu t-vurv i night, often during the day, and have ' been fairly fed. They have had their ! ground dry feed, with a plentiful supply of hay. If they have not been allowed to eat their heads oil', still they have been well cared for. Yet under tisual circumstances they are all of them gaunt imi ugly, and their owner has been xnxious about them, and is longing for the chance to turn them out into tlie fields when the first sweet grass shall spring forth; and then as if by magic his poor cows will once more look smooth and sleek, and take on fat and till his pails to the brim with the richest and sweetest of milk. The visitor at Arrareek farm, on a cold, rainy day in March, looked at the cows, yearlings, calves, and saw no scarecrow animals. Instead of being in :heir worst condition, as thin as "a March cow," he was surprised to notice :hat they were very fat?in fact, a great many of them in good enough order to jc butchered. TJie ere: were handsome, and fu!l?/.Mife. There was no stiffness in the joints of the animals; hey moved aiound briskly. The ycarings were full of life and animation, rhe calves came along at call with baby wallopings. In fact, it was a happy, ontentcd-looking herd, which had ( passed tlirongli a severe winter, ana ,vere now in as prime condition as when hey munched their last mouthful of jaass some live or six months before. Of course the visitor, when he saw :his, commenced to wonder. He was, f the least bit of an agriculturist, accusomed to see poor-looking beasts in March, and noticing at Arrareek farm something quite the contrary, lie propounded to himself for a solution something of this kind: " Mr. C. TV. stills, ivho owns these line-looking cattle, is perfectly indifferent as to the cost. He iias been stall-feeding these cows. "What i lot of money it must have cost, with iav at ?2i? or S25 ner ton. to winter all this herd ! It must have cost from ! ' ?8,000 to ?10,000 to do it. If lie sees j j jrotit in this kind of thing, I do not. j ' [t's all very well to l>e tender-hearted, j ! >nt cows are cows, and milk is worth so I much a quart, and butter so much a ' ! jound, and though Mr. Bergh might srown Mr. Mills for the excellent condi- j ion of his cows, the public would not j sav a cent more for his butter or milk. ' 1 kVliat a prodigious quantity of hay these ! ;ows must have eaten ! " ! Thc-n the visitor looked to see if lje I 2 iotild not lind out some huge barns, j vhich must have been burstiugout with J iuy at some time, and ho peered around | ' 0 mill traces 01 uenioiisneu nay-ticks, i To had'boen to the barn, by no moans a argo oue^and scon that it was one of orlinarv size, altmis?>. entirely occupied by i coding-stalls, and thitH4*ti^Mvas no hay p here at all. The longer hdtl^d, the j uore ilillicnlt *it was for him to mW^lK' j east trace of hay, or straw, or any kintt^ if long fodder At last he found out j hat there was not even a sprig, a stem, j >f hay on the promises. Then lie wonlered and wondered how these cattle 1 tad been kept so fat and healthy during ! he last long winter. J jThen Mr. Mills explained it all, and ; ommencing with the very beginning,im mrtod to the visitor the story of the silo ,nd the character of ensilage. Mr. Mills, ! dio is a grain merchant in New York, of i ligh standing, familiar with all kinds of j rheat and corn, had been long struck | nth the luxuriant character of some pedes of the Southern corn. He doermined to experiment with it on his I arm at Pompton. Having selected his | eed, he planted it in proximity to his j >rdinary New Jersey corn. His idea was hat by hybridism he might improve the ;ize and quality of the Jersey corn. naming 111s corn 01 uoin varieties sun; > >y side, when the end of September J ame, to liis dismay the native I orn was rine, ears all formed, but < :lie Southern corn, which was twice as * tall, was yet immature. If frost came it ( would be wasted. Neighboring farmers t would lean over the fences of Arrarcek < "arm and speculate on the character of 1 :his extraordinary growth and pass ? )tieer comments upon it. In fact," this :all corn, green and luxuriant, which rfe- ! t juired a quicker climate than that of j : Sew Jersey, in time oppressed Mr. | i Mills. Here was magnificent food for j ] bis cattle which was likely to be wasted. J ? Evidently it never woold ripen in time, j ' Frost would come long before an ear j ; was formed, and then it would all be ' ruined. He pondered and pondered 1 over the business. Then there did come in early November the first slight nip of frost. He must try something, or his former friends would forever have the laugh on him. Necessity is tlio mother of invention, ile remembered j the old method of keeping roots in mounds of earth, practiced from time immemorial. All hands were ordered to work. Pits were dug in a dry gravelly soil. The tall corn was laid low, cut in lengths, transported to the pit, laict in it lengthwise on a foundation of boards. When the pit was full it was < roofed with planks and covered with : < earth, and entirely irrespective of any i other silo, perfectly unacquainted with ' ensilage, never having read a word about it in any language, in the same : year, 187G, Mr. Mills discovered the ' way of keeping forage. When the time came to try this food on cattle, the contents of the pit were found to be in failorder. It gave out a vinous odor, was of a tawny green, "the color of cooked beans" is Mr. Mills' artistic i-.'iea of the exact shade of good ensilage. The cattle ate ! : of it greedily. They came again and 1 again for it'. The process, with its makeshift method, was a i artial success : swered all purposes, but a certain por- j : tion had rotted. There was no fault in the general plan; only the details want-! 1 ed greater consideration. Then Mr. Mills set abont thinking it all over and devised Ids present system of preservation by the exclusion of the air by pressure only. It all seems simple enough when you ?ee it, but the simplest things are always those which one arrives at after < matured thought. When you enter the ' J oam you see two deep pits sunk right ' nto the lloor. The exact dimensions ! i ire, for each, length, forty feet; width, ' hirteen feet; depth, twenty feet, rhese pits are lined with concrete made )f rubble and Itosendale cement. They 1 ire solid and substantial. These are ;lie silos which hold the ensilage. Now let us go back to the method of planting the special kind of corn. The j term special is hardly worthy of commenting upon, and need be no bugbear, because the seed can bo most readily obtained and is not in the least 1 g expensive. There are good reasons for fj sing it; one is because of its luxnrianceu si of growth, and that, in our climate, it n contains the major part of the nu- si tritious qualities in the sialic and leaves c before it goes to the seed, and that by si jutting it down in time we can get the utmost advantage out of the vegetation, g Mr. Mills sows it in drills three inches ti wide, with spaces of throe feet clear open a >oil between the drills. These drills b ire heavily seeded. In time the tield e looks as if it were planted solid, though p [lie intervening spaces give the plants o light and air. It is planted in May and cut about the middle or end of September. when it is some eight to ten feet high. The product is about sixty tons per acre of green stalks and leaves. i< Mr. Mills planted some thirteen acres; D not more; and from the yield, 7N0 tons i gross of green stuff cut, he feeds his 120 i ? cattle. This very small amount of land a used for this purpose seems wonderful, f. Just as soon as the corn is ready, which y is distinguishable by the tasseling and t the formation of a lew nubbins, in go s i1.~ In-.- it lmv Tt nf rmi'fl i ? uiu ia? iv ivu. jl.v X-..X.W . carted to the barn where aro the silos. 0 The green stalks and leaves are sub- t; mitted to the action of ordinary cutting j, machines, the only precaution necessary | c] being that the knives be kept as shnrp s as possible so that the green stuff shall j not be bruised. 3Ir. Mill's idea being g that by rough handling the juice are expelled, and to that extent air takes ^ its place in the cells of the plant?a thing to be avoided as much as possible. 0 Two cutting machines are used, which a make the fodder into lengths of one-half i find one inch. t Now to describe the method of filling j c the silos. The cutting-machines deliver o the green stuff into tho cement-lined s pits, the capacity of each being 300 tons. f< As the material goes in it is not trodden a on, but worked evenly into the silos by t changing the direction of the delivery. ; p When the pit is full, level with the floor, a wooden case is placed like a feuce C around the pit, which case is seventy-five ! a per cent, in height of the depth of the a pit, for the ensilage by compression h sinks about this much. The jut being t twenty feet deep, when it and the n tifteen-foot case arc full, then the whole L mass of green material is covered over [ v with stout wooden planks, made in I 'J sections. These sectional covers arc , t among the most importaut adjuncts of v the silos, and in their proper con- ii strnction a great deal of the success of! h the operation depends. These covers a ire made of two-inch-thick spruce plank, u tongued and grooved, aud firmly v battened together, four feet wide, and t ane inch less in lengtli than the width k if Hio si In. As the silo is fortv feet J long, it will take ten of them to cover n it. The object in making them only four a feet wide will be apparent later. Now c when the silo or pit is full of green stuff, s pven to the level of the lifteen feet * ideational, the sectional covers are put I ^nthe green stuff,anil these are weighted tjvenly and carefully. o The whole secret of ensilage depends i ? upon a simple mechanical one, that of ' perfectly even continuous compression. 1'Ik- air must be excluded and also the j s imbient moisture. Sir. Mills weights a lown his covers by distributing on top j' ?f each silo lifty tons of grain or ground teed in bags, which he afterward uses j' :o mix with his ensilage at time of feed!ng. Ho recommends in case grain is " ^ot handy that barrels be tilled with j jravel or sand and used for tiic some impose. As soon as the weighted covers 11 ire applied the mass gradually sinks 0 intil it reaches a level with the floor, ri tnd if the pit has been properly cou- ^ itructed after tlie sinking down is con- t( .luded the pits, or silos, are exactly f illed. lu about ten days the mass has ! ;ome down to its bearings. In two weeks liter it lias been put down it is ready to ise and the operation completed. 11 Xow M us explain the reason why a lie covers were made sectional. As a over is taken off it exposes a surface our feet wide and twenty feet deep, and lot any more. This is cut down into :or feed with a six-tined fork clean to '' :he bottom as the ensilage is used. All the rest of the muss is covered, and has I1 its weight and compression the same, " hereby keeping out the air aud all tenlencies to fermentation. As the en.si- a lage is taken it may be fed to cattle at 1 race, but Mr. Mills thinks it better to leave that portion intended for a feed, ivhen taken from the silo, to remain exposed for twenty-four hours. Some flight fermentation then ensues which apparently is advantageous to the cattle. ,s, When one silo, cover by cover is taken Ml* and used, the mass being cut into a from top to bottom until exhausted, the j' itlier comes into play. At Arrareek ii "arm one silo has been used up and ibout one-half of the other. The en- a silage gave out a sweet vinous odor, had a nothing in the least disagreeable about 0 it, and was rather pleasant to the taste. ,s [t was not warm or heated, aud on com 11 iressing the stalks the juice exuded. 11 L'his ensilage was used in the propor:ion of one bushel per diem for each a ow, divided into two feeds, and with it ^ ivas mixed about two quarts of wheat " bran or middlings. This was all the ? :eed the animals?cows and horses?had :iail during the winter, and the horses n looked quite as handsome as the cows. J! Now as to questions of cost. These avo silos, built in the most substantial s iivlf^vcost 8300 each, or ?700 for the " \vo. xa^uto expenses of making . Ik' crop, prepannj^lie ground, seeding, 1 iarvepting, cutting rat*"gjreen stuff and . putting it in the silos wasSiljO. Capi- j1 al being ?700 employed in j lie interest at six per cent, being 842, md depreciation on silos, say, twenty :J >er cent., which would be the very outiide for all possible repairs, we have at v he very utmost the cost of the ensilage J o be SI.13 2-3 per ton, and this is a . ' nost liberal estimate. . Now suppose we make up the cost of j seeping these cattle for the Lay alone. s l'he expenses would have been certainly, I .. n 1880-81, for hay, some ?8,000. With ^ he use of the ensilage Mr. Mills has j( ibsolutelv demonstrated that he win- << ered his 120 head of cattle and twelve j lorses, 132 head in all, from the fif- -y eenth of October to the fifteenth of j; \Iav next, seven months, at an expense e >f 8<>s2, or that each animal ate an imount the cost of which, at the high- 0 ;.st estimate, was 85.25. The difference, ^ hen, between ?8,000 for hay and say a iven 8700 for ensilage, would show a j jalance to the credit of the latter of { W?0. . .... o Now as to the products derived from ^ lie ensilage-fed cattle. It would be v impossible for such fat, healthy cattle ^ lot to give the best of milk. Mr. Mills ^ produces a large quantity of milk, the n lemand for which is so great that it is : ^ neyond his capabilities of supply. The | (i rield of milk is exceedingly large, far i ueyoud that usually given in winter by 1 bay-fed or even soft-fed cows, and this f oiilk is of the best quality. A lacto- jj meter placed in the milk showed its u uncommon richness, as it stood at not n less than 120. Particularly rich in the v fatty substances, the yield of butter is ver- large, though the proprietor of Ami- j reek farm furnishes milk only, and does s not supply butter. * ^ In all matters of this kind it is un- _ wise to form a too rapid judgment, for ft sometimes in the most carefully con- ^ sidered plans there may be initial vices a which are concealed. But there are 0 certain facts in regard to this method (-j of ensilage which seem to stand out in the most salient way. Firstly, the cattle ~ seen were in the finest possible order when examined at a season when cows s and all other farm stock arc usually at i, their worst; secondly, the product j made, the milk, was excellent; and r lastly, this, which is one of the most r, important of all factors, seems to be. j conclusively shown, that if Mr. Mill's 120 cows and twelve horses had been [ hay-fed for the Fame time?seven | months?he would have expended on j, each one of them SCl.o-l, whereas by c his system of ensilage he has arrived ,, nt better results with a positive outlay f not exceeding S'i.25 per head. j Agriculturists may do well to ponder over a system of this novel character which presents so many advantages. If in time this method should be adopted, and its workings found to be successful, c there will be a now development given 1 to the dairy and grazing farms. In the I West, anywhere where this corn can be n made to grow, the silo system could be 1 adopted. It might be even lucrative |i for larger farmers to make ensilage 1 which could be sold to those who might } require it. Of course hay culture is not i to be abandoned ; animals, like human 1 beings, require change, with rotation of i food; l?ut ensilage could be used twenty- i eight days in the month, or mixed with | t a small quantity of hay every day. J What Mr. Mills' intends doing in the future with this system is really re- t markublo in the novel direction it takes. | t When with his numerous cattle he has : 1 enriched his Tompton farm so that it | 1 shall be luxuriant with sweet, tender | i rasses, it is liis intention to take this j esh grass crop, when lie has more than | uflicient for his cows to feed on in sum-: ler, and in the same pits, and by the ime method, instead of making hay to nnvert tlie.se succulent errasses into en ilage. Arrareek farm to-(lav is a center of roat attraction.

An artist's model in New York who upported herself by posing in the stu- > lio without the knowledge oi lier family, 1 ml who invented little fictions to ac- f ount for the money she earned, was at ist found out, and great was the morti ' ? ication and wrath oi iier parents as wen , s of her cousins, her sisters and her unts. They nil felt they had been forver disgraced. A regular scene enued. and this is her account of the mailer in which the parental wrath was ! mollified : It was high tragedy for three hours, nd would you believe it I didn't shed a par. Why ? Because I had done lOtliing wrong. My papa lost his 111011y in Wall street, and he needed some ; ielj) to support his family, and I determined to do my share. I found it far more profitable to be a model for gen-1 Lemanly artists to draw from than to tand as model in a big dry goods store pon which women might try garments, 'lien I enjoyed keeping it all a secret, lecause, not knowing anything about he business, my parents would have ob?cted.

He was still angiy, and was tartled to see me, but I kissed him, u: Led back his hair, and then seating : lyself upon a hassock at his knee, I eaned mV head upon his lap and said, Papa, I want to have a confidential ilk with you. Now, question me." 1 Veil, he did question me about evcryliing. I never saw such a man to crossxamiue, but I told him everything. 1 :>ld him that I lived in an atmosphere f art, and that in four years I never had ; lie first approach to insult; that the ! ? i 1 1 1 OQ rusrs WHO eilipiuj'uu mc- v.vn , U..7J K.1 . was concerned, most chivalrous, and j hat I believed they would punish any 1 ne of their profession who did not J reat me or any other ladylike model rith respect. Then I showed papa picures from Harper's and Frank Leslie's, diere I had been the model for the female ligurcs. He had seen them all efore, but he hadn't dreamed that his aughter had posed for them. I noticed e wanted to keep them himself when ; e learned all about it. Then he said hat I would not find a husband easily t it was known that I was an artist's lodel. I said that I wouldn't have a | lan who didn't believe me incapable of rrong, and I added, moreover, that I .irtii't want to marry, sin marriage killed he business. Papa's eyes looked like ancers. "Yes," I said, "monks, nuns, nd models?female models?mustn't j rnrry." He0never heard of that before, ! nil I told hiui how French models were rained, and how to preserve the perfect rtistic outline. A model couldn't eat ertain kinds of food?potatoes in abundance or many sweets that produce fat -how she must avoid late .hours, poor entilation, tight lacing, cosmetics, beer [ r malt liquor of any kind, and how j he has got to lie true and good and I leautiful to meet all the exactions of he artists.

Ilrick as a Building Material. Brick is one of the most durable of all building materials, more durable than most kinds of stone and better ( able to resist lire. The great national collections of Europe, the British museum foremost in the number, show us bricks sun-dried and baked from the | . ruins at Nineveh, and from the days of that city to the present moment bricks ' have never ceased to be an important instrument in the hands of the builder. That throughout Asia Minor they were largely employed has been proved by ' M. Bayet, who, in his work 011 Miletus, ' has shown 111 at. tho far-famed palace of ' Cni'sus Mas built of no more costly nia tenuis than honest bricks. What those bricks were, and their qualities, are ; even to this day appreciated by the 11atires, who for many centuries have plundered the ruins to build or patch j' up their own even more ruinous houses. ' * The use of bricks among the Romans, , who largely employed thoni as building materials, as we sec in the familiar instances of the Temple of Concord, has, , lieen more than once tho subject of tho inquiry of industrious antiquaries, for J the Romans were not content with producing the flat tile-like brick which is so often to bo met with in tho lower portions of antique structures scattered over t he empire and that are known in i England, but their tricks were indelibly stamped with tho mark of their maker, the names of the reigning consuls, and sometimes the year. From this source, then, more than one patient J arclneologist has gathered a rich store | of information. ??- j t The great superiority of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup to all other cough remedied is attested ! 1 by the immense popular demand for that oldfashioned remedy.

There is a most inexplicable dispro portion between the English and Amer ican reports of boiler explosions in 1880 For the United States 170 explosioni were reported, and for England bu twenty-eight, although it is added tha the English total is considerably belo\ the average. The loss of life was fo: ? - " * j TU,'*A/ JiiQglQ.nu sixry-eigni, uiiu xur mc umt^ States 259. In England the wounde< numbered eighty-two, and intheUnite< States 555. In* the United States th< boilers of wood working mills forme< by far the most fatal class, while ii England the explosions were chiefly ii iron works. In the period from Octo ber, i8G7, to 1880, there were in th United States 1.299 explosions, whic] killed 2,505 persons and wounded 2,612 But since July, 1864, there were inEng land only 854 explosions, which kille< 1,004 persons and injured 1,790. In eacl case the figures are taken from the re port of a company for the insurance c boilers. Two contrasting statements which may throw some light on the dis crepancy, are one by the English com pany that no boiler insured by it ex ploded, and a second by the Anjerica company, that during the year it absc lntok* nnnripmnprl 377 boilers, and more over discovered 5,444 dangerous defects besides some tens of thousands of mine ones.
