TRIAL OF A Nrw DEscRIProS OF LOCOMOTIVE

hinded, it burns up the hues, destroying boiler In
very short time. MT Dimpfe has invented what obvi
stss this difficulty 1t Is the employment Of tubes or
pipes within boiler which communicates ct both
ends with the body Of water in the boiler and through
which the water crcuates freely the ends Of the tubes
being bent to give the necessary elasticity con-
Traction and expansion resulting from ths change Of

Is outside the tubes-in this the water Is inside In
other boilers portion Of the water IL heated to
extreme degree, while the In another portion Is
comparatively cold This Inequality OF heat Is de-
sructive TO the boiler In Mr. Dimpf.ls invention the
heat is dGuscd all over and by the circus-
ton Of the water and also by the products OF combus
ton being carried In lite way to the chimney fright
along the tubes and thus impartns the heat to them
Hence the saving Of fuel every portion Of the water
coming rapidly In contact with the heat aud thus pre-
venting It's sacapng. Though there was twice as
much steam wanted In the engine, the aues OF
the boiler nearly as cold any other part
Of It, when eIsnined on Thursday. The sppearanse
Of the tubes and fireplace was perfectly clean.
