The extent Of the heat doc not exceed that of the atmos
ihere in which surrounded aud that danger from expo

Ihenventon consists IN the application OF the expulsion
and consumption Of the air in which live and breathe
BY which means partial vacuum Is produced.
The working parts OF the engine similar to those now
Exhsustius chambers are arranged which connect with
rpe both ends Of the cylinder cynders these chau
Top; IN these exhaasns chambers is placed large lamp
