Many deviceshave been tried in this country for thatpurpose, but none of them have proveds-alisfactory. We arc therefore glad toreproduce from Engineering the fol-lowing illustrations and description: The widespread use of steam, at whatwould a few years ago have been con- sidered an extremely high pressure, hasmade the breakage of a gage glass any-thing but the trivial alTair it was in daysgone by.
