The ERrccsoS EsosE.-Inl late Havre papers we
find notices of the stationary engine constructed
for the New York Evening Post by Captain Erics-
s.n and subsequently sent to France TO secure his
patent in that empire. The editor OF the Courier
du HAVE, who was present at an experimental
trial, says:
"The experiment we witnessed was not intend
ed TO establish the power of the machine,
ly 10 show the manner Gifts operation, and to en-
able the spectators to appreciate the usefulness of
the regeneration, which absorbs the caloric from the
hot air, and returns it again to the cold air. as it
passes throughit. Indeed, the engine works from
three-quarters of hour to an hour after the FIRE
is extnguished. when there is. of course, calo-
ric generated except that which is drawn from the
regenerator."
