structed an engine to run by electricity
Il is the construction of Mr. Gusten, Of
New Jersey. The Poughkeepsie Eagle
says;
During the building Of the machine, we
have watched its progress, and its different
parts have been cXH4Aled to us, When
Mr.. Gusten came e, Poughkeepsie, he
brought small battery with him. which he
thought was not sufficiently powerful to move
the machine when finished But on its
completion the battery was applied, and the
engine instantly moved. and ran with great
regularity and with some power. This SO
much more than exceeded the expectation
Of the inventor, that all doubts On his mind
were expelled. This machine is the model
Gor powerful engine 1t can be run with
a far less expense than steam engine, its
power VIII be more uniform, less room will
be required, no boilers viii burst, and it
will not effect insurance. We are confident
that the long sought for power has now been
practically applied, and that great benefits
will result from it. In few days, larger
battery viii be procured and the engine ap-
Piled to test its power, after which we will
