Steel Boilers. —Some interesting experiments
Jave been made in Prnssia -with steel steam
boilers, an account ol -which has been published
in Dingier’s Polytcfihnic Journal. A steel boiler of
the egg-ends hape, i feet in diameter and 30 feet in
length, -without flues, was tried. It had a steam
drum 2 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height, and
the plates were, one-forirth.of an inch in thickness.
Beside it there was placed another boiler, similar
excepting that the plates were of
0,414 of an inch in thictaiess. The steam boiler
was tested by hydraulic pressure up to 195 pounds
on the inch, without leakage, and both the
on and stee 1 boilers were worked under a
pressure ef 65 pounds on the inch for about one
Ie e £4ted a^r D £i? E tWs P* riod tbe steel boUer
generated <25 per cent, more steam than the iron
one, and when .they were thoroughly eximtaed
alter eighteen months’ practical workingTlhere
•was less scale in the steel than in the iron boil"
The former evaporates 11. 66 cubic feet of water per
hour; the iron boiler 9.37 cubic feet. The cmanmv
of coal consumed was on an average 2.7o6nonnVte
for the steel one in twelve hours, and 2,972 pounds
for the iron boiler. The plates of the steel boiler
-oyer the fire were found to be uninjured, while
fhose of the iron one were about worn out; In
iTJjassia several worn-out plates of iron boilers
. T?* , eI ? h o en,replaced with'steel, which, it is
stated, lasts four times as long. As steel is twice
as strong as iron, thinner plates of the former may
be employed for boilers, and more perfect riveting
can be secured, a greater quantity of steam can
also be generated in the steel boiler on account of
its thin plates, and thus much fuel may be eeono
sieam boilers should engage the at
make and use steam boilers fir
engineering and manufacturing purpose.

Select Council.— At the last meeting of
this body an ordinance increasing the city bounty
to volunteers to fifty dollars, was passed, but no
action was taken by; the. Common Branch. The
effect of the delay has been to almost entirely stop
recruiting. Select CouncU, therefore, held a spe

resolution requesting Common Council to return
the hill. It is said that a majority of the members
of the Common Chamber are opposed to any in
crease of bounty.
Highway Robbery.—Dennis Kennedy was
before Aid. Kennedy this morning charged with
tbe larceny of a watch and §l5 m money. The
prosecutor testified that he was knocked down and
robbed at Fourth and Green streets, on Sunday
night, and charged positively that Kennedy was
the man who committed the act. Theaccusedwas
