which he anticipates from the invention which he de-
scribes can be realized but he has stated to us some
remarkable facts the results OF his experiments,
which would seem to Justify the antcpahons in which
he INDUCES II the invention shall turn out to be what
the inventors now promise themselves It will be, II is
certainly most wonderful discovery, and will create
nsw era IN the arts and in civilizations
Messrs EprroRs am authorized to announce the
discovery and practical test OF the mostmporant scen-
the world has been inhabited by man--an invention
which must eventually, and almost Immediately, pro-
ducs immense revolution IN the commercial inter
course and business in general throughout the world
and, although il will break down and ruin many OF the
most important branches OF business and avenues OF
wealth. with hundreds OF wealthy corporations and bust
meas establishments, yet il will build up thousands Of
Others and contribute hundreds OF millions to the benefit
Of mankind. especially to the American community
The first and main feature and foundation OF this IN.

esq., OF ready and almost expenseess mode OF decom
posing water and reducing to the gaseous state BY the
simple operation of very small machine, without gal
vanc batteries or the consumption OF metals acids,
and only the application of less than one three hundredh

and sufficient supply light equal to three hundred
lamps for len hours; or TO warm an ordinary dwell
ing house twelve hours including the requisite heat for
the Kitchen TO supply the requisite heator horse
power Of steam This invention has been tested by six
months operation, applied to the lighting OF houses and
recently the applicability Of these gases to the warming
of houses has also been tested with perfectly satisfactory
results steam engine furnace and paror stove both
adapted to the burning Of these gases. have been in
vented and taken for securing patents therefor
Mr. Paine has one OF his machines, new and elegant,
IN full operation and publicly exhibited and may be
expected 10 exhibit the in this city within twenty
days The only actual expense Of warming houses BY
this apparatus is that OF winding up weight dixie the

produced, but very small quantity OF steam, sufficient
to supply the requisite moisture 10 the atmosphere In its
application 10 the production OF steam power, will reduce
the expense thereof the of machinery and
will Immediately produce immense demand for steam
engines and induce the establishment OF thousands Of
manufacturing mills reduce the expense OF travelling
and increase the demand for agricultural produce while
il ruins the coal and gas business and such manufacu
ring establishments as depend on monopoly and high
prices. This invention, moreover, completely
the only obstacles which have hitherto existed TO ea
navgaion-the difficulty of procuring hydrogen gas and
carrying supply Of fuel and it may be considered
amatter OF toleable certainty that will be seen swiftly
and safely soaring in various directions before the first Of
May next These facts, being OF immense importance
should not be longer withheld; and therefore would
avail myself Of your widely circulating journal present
them to the public. Yours. respectfully.
