A summary of the number of persons killed or injured, per explosions, for successive tenyear periods, shows that the boiler explosions of this country have been becoming less and less serious. In 1871 there were 89 explosions recorded, resulting in the death of 383 persons and injuries to 225, or 4.3 persons killed and 2.53 injured per explosion. In 1881 with 159 explosions, there were 251 persons killed and 313 injured, or 1.57 killed and 1.96 injured per explosion. In 1891, 257 explosions resulted in the death of 263 persons and injuries to 371, or 1.02 killed and 1.44 injured per explosion. In 1901, 423 explosions resulted in 312 deaths and injuries to 646, or 0.73 persons killed and 1.52 injured per explosion. In 1911, there were 499 explosions resulting in the death of 222 persons and injuries to 416, or 0.47 persons killed and 0.83 injured per explosion. This decrease is most probably due to the improvement that has taken place in the design, construction, and operation of steam boilers, and not to the increased use of sectional boilers, for experience has indicated that the bursting or rupture of such boilers is frequently attended with serious consequences in the way of killing or injuring the attendants.
