The immense saving OF money and labor, and of
human lives and suffering, secured By the use of
this new motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power is now
used, and in thousands Of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight Of the steam en-
CINE has precluded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
AS propelling agent, from the single-horsc power
for the cotton gin TO the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naccs, fuel and firemen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the power Of
800 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts are established by the expcrment al
