Means of preventing such tragedies in the future are discussed. Using the interstate commerce clause, the federal government investigated steamboat explosions and set national standards for boiler construction. From this laudable beginning stems all federal control over just about anything one can think of. Scarce in the trade. The frontispiece depicts the "New Spring Manometer Proposed by Dr. Locke."
